Two years later.
The morning light poured down from the window, warming up the room.
At the dinner table, two babies, a boy and a girl, sat obediently and ate with a spoon awkwardly. The children looked very alike.
Their facial features were surprisingly refined.
Katherine got everything ready, walked in front of the children, and kissed them each the cheek with a gentle smile. “Mom is going to work. Be good at home.”
The baby girl immediately put down the spoon and hugged Katherine’s arm with her chubby little hands. Her eyes were filled with reluctance and attachment to her mom. “Mommy…”
Katherine’s heart softened, and she squeezed the baby girl’s cheek. “Eat obediently.”
The boy was drinking porridge in silence.
Katherine rubbed his head. “Felix, remember to drink the milk later.”
The baby boy frowned slightly, obviously reluctant. But when he met Katherine’s gentle gaze, he nodded as he debated whether or not to drink the milk.
Katherine looked at his expression, and a face suddenly appeared in her mind, causing her smile to fade away a little.
Two years passed in an instant, and she never saw Jacob again.
Jacob thought she was dead, but two years ago, Theo arrived on time. He rescued her and faked her death.
Katherine originally thought she was going to die. Theo not only pulled her back from Hell, but also saved the children in her belly. Katherine’s gratitude towards him grew as her children became older.
Without Theo, even if her life was saved, it would be difficult for her to raise the children.
Now she had a pair of lovely twins, a stable job, and a happy life. Katherine was very content.
After saying goodbye to the children, Katherine went out and found that Theo’s car was parked outside, which surprised her a little.
Seeing her, Theo got out of the car and opened the door for her. “I’ll give you a ride there.”
Katherine glanced at the time and looked a little upset. “When did you come? Why didn’t you go in for breakfast? We haven’t seen you for a long time, and Merry talks about you every day.”
“I just arrived. I got a document nearby, and I stopped by to pick you up from work. I’ll come over for dinner in the afternoon and take the kids out to play.”
Speaking of Merry, Theo’s eyes softened and deepened.
Katherine was also very happy.
Because of Theo’s presence, Felix and Merry did not lack paternal love as they grew up.
“Thank you, Theo,” Katherine said sincerely. She owed Theo, and it wasn’t something she could repay no matter how many times she thanked him.
Theo looked ahead and was silent for a few seconds. “You know, what I need isn’t your gratitude.”
Katherine became silent.
She knew about Theo’s feelings for her. But she endured too much in her relationship, and her heart was already scarred. If it weren’t for Felix and Merry, her body and soul would have been dead a long time ago.
She couldn’t give him the relationship he wanted, so she couldn’t respond to his feelings. That would be too unfair to him.
“Theo, I’m sorry…”
“You don’t need to say sorry. You don’t owe me anything. I did everything out of my own will.” At the red light, Theo turned around and gazed at her affectionately with gentle eyes. “I’ll wait for you.”
Katherine felt even worse.
Judging by appearance, family background, and temper, Theo could get any woman he wanted yet he was interested in her, a single mother.
His persistence and attitude towards her children made Katherine waver a little.
In fact, she did not necessarily have to be persistent in rejecting him.
It was impossible for her and Jacob to ever meet again. Even if they met again, she wouldn’t be able to forgive him for how he treated her and their children in the past.
If her children had to have a father, then Theo was indeed a good candidate. The children also liked him very much.
“We’re here. Hurry up and go in. Don’t be late,” Theo said gently as the car stopped.
Katherine unfastened her seat belt. Before getting out of the car, she took a deep breath and turned to look at Theo. “I’ll think over it.”
Theo was taken aback. A few seconds later, he realized what she meant, and his eyes shone brightly. “Okay!”
In the past two years, every time he brought up their relationship, Katherine would avoid talking about it. Now she responded to him and even though she only said that she would consider it, it was enough to make him ecstatic.
Unable to suppress his excitement, Theo took Katherine’s hand and suddenly hugged her tightly.
Katherine took a deep breath and didn’t break free.
Theo was afraid of making her uncomfortable, so he only hugged her and let go. “What you said is enough to make me happy for days.”
“Go, I’ll pick you up after work.”
Katherine nodded with a smile and got out of the car.
Watching Theo’s car leave, Katherine thought of her children at home.
She didn’t have many expectations for her children. She just hoped that they would be safe and happy for the rest of their lives, which was why she nicknamed them Felix and Merry.
If the children also liked this father, then everything she did was worth it.
After all, she truly didn’t want her children to lack paternal love at such a young age.
