If he got his own way this time, he would continue to threaten her with it later.
Catherine knew it, but Sophia’s cry rang out in her ears.
Her heart was bloody hurt as if tightly held by something.
She took a taxi to Ziting Villa. She went in such a rush that she even had no tto change out of nightgown.
Security guard seemed to have known that she was coming.
He got excited at seeing her, “Please go in the house, Miss Johnson. Master Anderson has been waiting for a long time.” As Miss Sophia cried, Anderson had no idea what to do with it.
Instead of being calmed down, Miss Sophia even cried worse.
Anderson felt a headache when seeing Sophia kept crying.
“Stop it. Your mommy is coming soon.” Catherine just about cto the door when she heard Anderson’s impatient voice, and she hurriedly pushed in.
“Sophia, mommy is here.” Sophia instantly stopped crying on hearing Catherine’s voice. She looked at Catherine with puffy eyes like walnut, and rushed to her.
“Mommy, you're coming.” she buried her red face in Catherine's arms.
“Alright, don’t cry.” When coaxing the child, Catherine sounded very gentle.

“Miss Johnson, Miss Sophia has toldto cook your favorite dishes when she heard you are coming.” nanny smiled.
“Master Lincoln also askedto buy your favorite drinks.” “They're good children. You should tell them in advance if you are not coming. It’s not good from them to cry too much.” Nanny said to Catherine as she was serving the dishes.
Catherine nodded and met smiling look of the man sitting opposite her.
That smile seemed to be a mock to her. She clenched fist. He won again.
“Mommy, try this shrimp. It's good.” Sophia stretched out arm and put a shrimp on Catherine's plate. She was so little that her arms trembled when getting the food.
Seeing this, Catherine felt touched. Her children were so thoughtful.
She had cruelly decided not to cto see them.
How hurtful it would be for Sophia and Lincoln! After they finished the dinner, Catherin applied ice on Sophia’s puff eyes.
“In the future, don’t cry even if mommy is not here, alright?” Sophia covered her ears shook her head like a rattle-drum, “No, | can’t hear you.” “Don’t fool me. It’s bad for you to cry too much.” She was different from other children, in that her health condition can’t allow her to have bi ups and downs in emotion.
“Then why you didn’t cto see me?” Sophia said sadly, still with swollen eyes.
She could not utter a harsh word.
She put children to bed. When she intended to leave, Anderson stood in front of her arrogantly. He said ruthlessly, “You finally come.” She bit her lips.
Anderson laid his fingers on her lips, “I'd like to advise you not to make useless struggle, otherwise, you'll get hurt, or maybe Sophia and Lincoln.” “You filthy wretch.” He smiled carelessly.
Only she was under his control, as for other things, he didn’t care at all.
Project team After designing nearly one hundred manuscripts, the final draft was settled.
Amya tapped the table excitedly, “The project is finally done. It's worth a celebration! Let's go for drinks tonight,” “You go. I'm not going.” Catherine planned to go back for work.
“Absolutely no. Everyone can be absent except you. You're the backbone of this project!” Terry also uttered with a smile on face, “Amya is right. If you're not coming, what's the meaning for celebration?” Lily, who had been silent, also added, “Cwith us. Moreover, you updated the cartoon for this week on Tuesday, isn't it?” They all insisted, and she felt rather embarrassed to refuse.
Otherwise, it would make her look like a loner.
“Alright.” Amya chose the place for celebration. It was slightly inferior to Sky Club but also very good.
“To Catherine for her remarkable work, the model for all of us!” Amya held wine glass and said to Catherine.
Catherine drunk in one gulp, “I can’t take all credit. It was a team effort. I'm just one part of the team, not knowing much about the industry. Nothing can be done without you.” “No, we can’t be without you.” Terry said smilingly.
The team members had been working under heavy workload and high pressure, and it had been a long tsince they relaxed last time. So they really had great fun, singing, dancing and drank a lot.
Catherine also drank a lot, with her face being hot. She felt dizzy when getting up, “You have fun here, I'll go to the bathroom to wash my face.” She held a hand of cold water and hit it on the face, feeling comfortable instantly and also sobering a little bit.
She only wore slipstick when she came, so she didn’t worry messing up the makeup. Applying cold water on face several times, she finally felt the heat on her face went down.
She left after putting slipstick on lips.

A stench of alcohol cover, which made her gross, and she stamped on his feet vigorously.
The man felt the pain, and he loosened his grip on her.
Taking advantage of this chance, Catherine stumbled and ran towards the door.
When she was about to rush out, a man stood at the door and she surprisingly ran into his arms.
The man behind her cried, “Stop her!” “I want her today.” It was not easy to escape with her being trapped in the middle.
She can’t turn back, so she intended to repeat her trick by stamping on his feet to get rid of the man in front of her.
But the man escaped it and laughed quietly.
Catherine felt helpless and intended to scream out for help, but the man covered her mouth.
Catherine struggled.
“We meet again, the angel in the snow.” As the man spoke, Catherine was stunned. She looked up the man before her.
It was the man who gave her the umbrella that day.
“Have you stopped her?” the man behind cover, but he froze when he saw the man at the door. Then he immediately put on a flattering smile.
“Mr Chester, this stupid woman refused to serve me.” “I'm not that kind of woman. | just get into the wrong room.” Catherine hastened to explain. Perhaps it was because he helped her last time, so she was not that afraid of him.
But the man behind them got furious, “How dare you to lie, you bitch!” “What are you doing here?” Just as Catherine intended to defend herself, she heard a familiar voice, along which she searched with eyes and right caught sight on Ray Riley's enchanting face.
