Catherine wanted to say it, but the second half of her sentence never came out of her mouth.
Could she tell him? She knew very clearly that she couldn't.
Because she knew very clearly that she could not take him as her own, and he would have a new mother in the future.
If she tells him now, it will only cause discord between him and other mothers in the future.
Catherine couldn't leave him such a hidden danger, so she got stuck on the two words in the second half.
Finally, she rubbed his head with her hand: "Can I tell you my sister's phone number? If you have time in the future, can you call her?"
Huo Yi was very happy and kissed Catherine heavily on the cheek: "Okay!"
After he kissed her, Catherine's fingers fell on the spot where he kissed her, her face full of love.
For a long time, she continued to play with Huo Yi there with building blocks.
…
Catherine naturally had her own purpose in coming here this time, so after he played with Huo Yi for more than an hour, the childcare nanny came in.
She then said to the childcare sister-in-law: "Please play with Huo Yi for a while."
The nanny was full of surprise when she saw her here today, but she quickly nodded with a smile on her face and said, "Okay, I will do it, don't worry."
Because Huo Yi has been taken care of by this nanny since she was born, so Catherine respects this nanny very much.
After she finished speaking to the nanny, she walked out of the room.
But when she walked to the door, she found someone downstairs, the housekeeper from the Huo family's old house.
When Catherine saw this scene downstairs, she immediately stopped and subconsciously hid towards a pillar in the corridor.
She didn't know what the housekeeper at the Huo family's old house was talking to Huo Shaoting, because the conversation downstairs was not loud.
The housekeeper seemed to have been here for a long time. After talking to Huo Shaoting, he left him, got in the car outside the gate and left.
Huo Shaoting had actually heard the noise upstairs. After the Huo family's housekeeper left, he subconsciously glanced upstairs and saw the hem of clothes behind the pillar.
After seeing the piece of clothes, he said downstairs: "People are gone, come out."
When Catherine heard his words, she knew that he was talking about her. After all, this corridor included the hall downstairs, and there would be no one else but her.
After she came out from behind the pillar, she looked downstairs.
After looking at him for a long time, she walked directly downstairs.
When she was about to speak, Huo Shaoting, who was already sitting downstairs reading the newspaper, took a step ahead of her and asked her, "Is the injury on your hand healed?"
When Catherine heard his words, what she wanted to say suddenly stopped in her throat, and she stared at him.
Huo Shaoting put the newspaper in his hand and then raised his face to look at her.
"This shouldn't be your concern."
Out of politeness, she added: "But I still have to thank Mr. Huo. The injury on my arm has healed."
"Why are we so estranged? Even regardless of our previous relationship, even if it's because of your sister, there's no need for us to be so estranged."
He raised his eyes and looked at her with a look of indifference on his face.
Catherine was listening to what he said, and she said with a smile: "Yes, even if it is not about the past, but because of my relationship with my sister, why would Mr. Huo stop me from seeing Huo Yi?"
"I didn't mean to stop you from looking at Huo Yi."
In this case, would Catherine believe it?
She smiled and said: "If Mr. Huo can fulfill what you said now, then I will be very happy."
"Qiqi."
Huo Shaoting's tone was finally not as cold and distant as before, but this time it was filled with warmth and emotion.
The word Qiqi is what Catherine least wants to hear now, and what she least wants to hear mentioned by others.
She just looked at him with steady eyes.
Huo Shaoting said: "I know that I was sorry for you before, but now your sister has passed away. I don't want to have any conflicts with you because of the past. From today on, I will not stop you from coming to see Huo Yi. I also hope you won’t treat me with this attitude, okay?”
What he said seemed to be negotiating terms with her.
Catherine didn't know why his attitude changed so much. She looked at his face.
She could tell that he seemed unhappy in the past few years.
His eyebrows have always been furrowed tightly, and over the past few years, a fixed "Sichuan" character has been formed.
His eyes were far less vigorous than before, and seemed much darker.
That kind of sadness is a bit melancholy.
"Mr. Huo, it's best for us to talk about things if we have anything to do. I'm very grateful to you for letting me come to see Huo Yi today, but I don't want any more involvement between us."
When Huo Shaoting heard her words, his eyes dropped slightly, but he said nothing more.
Then Catherine added: "I came today because I have something to ask you about. If Mr. Huo must remarry, I think I have a suitable candidate who can recommend him to you."
Huo Shaoting didn't expect that she would say such a sentence. He raised his eyes and looked at her.
Catherine said: "Miss Lu Wei, I think she is very suitable for you and Huo Yi. What do you think?"
"Is this what you want to find me about?"
"This is a very important and serious matter."
Catherine looked back at him.
Huo Shaoting thought this was a bit funny, so there was a smile on his lips, but there was no trace of smile, and there was no good intention in it.
It seems that it is just for an expression, hanging there dryly.
"Why do you think Lu Wei is suitable for me?"
"I think the person chosen by the old lady will not be wrong, and Huo Yi is following you, so I have the right to make a guarantee for Huo Yi's future."
"Of course I know you may have a crush on that teacher, but she is not suitable to be Huo Yi's mother. What do you think, Mr. Huo?"
Huo Shaoting glanced at her: "Then thank you Miss Catherine for your advice. I will refer to it carefully."
Catherine didn't know what he meant because he didn't say yes or no.
She looked at him steadily.
Huo Shaoting said again: "When I think about it, I will give Miss Catherine an answer."
When Catherine heard his words, her body relaxed subconsciously: "Okay, I also hope that Mr. Huo can follow my advice. Lu Wei is indeed very good."
"Qiqi, if you have finished speaking, you can leave. Of course, I will give you a suggestion, that is, this may be my private matter. What do you think?"
