What he meant was that he wanted her not to interfere in his affairs.
Then, he added: "You weren't even qualified to take care of this matter when your sister left, let alone you now that you have a confidant in Lan Yan?"
Catherine's eyebrows darkened slightly when she heard this.
There was a smile on her face: "If Mr. Huo gives me the child, I don't need any confidant."
She had a sarcastic look on her face.
"It was you who gave up Huo Yi's custody rights in the first place. It shouldn't be that I refused to give it to you."
"Stay in your Huo family like a puppet and raise Huo Yi to grow up?"
"Qiqi, I don't want to talk to you about the past anymore."
There was a gloomy look on his face, and it was obvious that he was becoming more and more unhappy while talking to her.
When the two were talking, they had no idea that there was a person hiding at the gate, listening to the conversation between the two in the hall.
This person was Covey who was hiding behind the gate and eavesdropping.
…
Catherine's face was as sharp as a thorny rose: "Okay, I won't talk to you about this for the time being. Of course, what I just said are all suggestions. As for what Mr. Huo chooses, I will naturally follow Mr. Huo's wishes."
After she finished speaking, the person turned away from him and walked upstairs.
Huo Shaoting also looked at her slightly coldly.
…
When Catherine went to the room upstairs, she saw Huo Yi sitting on the ground playing with the nursery sister-in-law and talking, and a smile appeared on her face again. She asked: "Huo Yi, is the car finished? "
When the nursery sister-in-law heard what she said, her eyes immediately moved, she looked towards her, and smiled: "Huo Yi is so smart, I don't even know how to play. You see, now she has begun to take shape. "
Catherine looked over and saw a half-formed car, and she was a little surprised.
Huo Yi raised his face and looked at her: "Sister, come quickly, come play with me."
Catherine never thought that Huo Yi was already so smart at such a young age, but how much did she miss when he was growing up?
She thought, I really don't know whether she should be happy or sad.
She stood there for a long time. Just when the childcare sister-in-law was not sure what her reaction was, she smiled and said: "You are really smart. Sister, I really didn't expect our Huo Yi to be so smart."
Who doesn't like to be praised as a child for being smart?
Huo Yi was so happy that she had a little look on her face.
She walked up to him and continued playing with him.
But the mother and son were playing, playing, and at the end of the play, they all fell to the ground and started tickling each other.
Catherine was laughing, and Huo Yi was lying on top of Catherine, also laughing crazily. Her little face was all healthy and moist, and she was almost laughing.
After a whole hour or two of commotion, Huo Yi was obviously sleepy. He lay on top of Catherine and said in a sweet voice, "Sister, Huo Yi needs to go to sleep."
As soon as he finished saying this, his eyes narrowed in Catherine's arms, and he was obviously in a very sleepy state.
At this time, the nursery sister-in-law walked in from outside carrying fruit. Seeing this scene, she whispered: "It's time for him to go to bed, I'll do it."
The childcare sister-in-law was about to put down the fruit plate in her hand and go to pick up Huo Yi in her arms, but Catherine said, "Shh."
Then, she said: "I'll do it."
She couldn't bear to let go, she couldn't bear to let go at all.
The nanny looked at the way she looked at Huo Yi, and her heart trembled.
That kind of look made even the childcare sister-in-law feel extremely distressed when she saw it.
So she stopped approaching and just nodded and responded.
Catherine's hand holding Huo Yi's body was always gently patting Huo Yi.
Huo Yi was already in a state of falling asleep, but when his eyes opened and squinted repeatedly, he suddenly regained his strength, stared at Catherine and said, "Sister, don't leave."
Catherine's eyes were full of love, and she whispered back: "Sister, if you don't leave, I will stay here with Huo Yi."
When Huo Yi heard this, he lowered his eyelids and fell asleep completely.
Catherine's eyes looked at him with more and more love and affection. She stood up from the ground with him in her arms. As she stood up, she hummed softly to coax him to sleep just like he did when he was a baby.
Children's eyelashes are very long, and Huo Yi's is no exception. The small fan-like eyelashes trembled twice and turned calm, which meant that he was deeply asleep.
The childcare sister-in-law walked over lightly.
Catherine asked: "Are you taking him back to his room?"
"This is the play room, take her back to your room and sleep."
Catherine nodded. The childcare sister-in-law was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold her, so she wanted to reach out and take it from her hand, but Catherine still didn't let go. Instead, she said to the childcare sister-in-law, "I'll carry it over."
The nanny nodded when she heard this.
So Catherine held Huo Yi and walked in front, and the childcare sister-in-law followed Catherine, and they walked towards Huo Yi's bedroom.
But after arriving at Huo Yi's bedside, Catherine still refused to let go.
The nursery sister knew that she had little chance of falling asleep holding Huo Yi like this, but she still advised her: "Huo Yi is very heavy now. You'd better put her down, otherwise your hands will hurt later."
Catherine said softly: "I never thought he could be so beautiful, so well-behaved, and so smart."
"He has been obedient and smart since he was a child. A few years ago, after you left...he..."
When the nanny said this, her voice was a little choked.
Catherine looked away from Huo Yi's face and looked at the nanny: "What's wrong with him?"
"The young master has been crying for days and nights. No one can coax him. He is so young and he can sense your departure."
The nanny's words were like a thorn piercing Catherine's heart. She was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe. She held Huo Yi tightly in her arms, tears almost falling from the corners of her eyes.
The childcare sister-in-law continued: "Later, the old lady felt that it was impossible for the child to cry like this, so she called an old Chinese medicine doctor, made some ginseng tea, fed Huo Yi some, and calmed him down, and then he gradually calmed down. Crying.”
"How old is he? How can he eat those?"
Catherine exclaimed.
The nanny said: "There was really nothing we could do. The crying was so heart-wrenching that his throat was hoarse from crying. I couldn't help but feed him."
Catherine closed her eyes in pain, her face buried in Huo Yi's face, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.
The nursery sister-in-law saw that she was crying too, and knew that she must be heartbroken now. She wiped away her tears and said, "But it's over now. Fortunately, you came back when he was sensible, and everything was over." clear."
Catherine was indeed heartbroken. She never thought that Huo Yi would react like that after she left.
But it was not easy for her. In the month after she left, she missed him so much that she almost jumped from a tall building.
She opened her eyes and looked down at Huo Yi's sleeping little cheek. She stroked his little face with her hand and murmured in a low voice: "I won't leave, mommy won't leave."
