Chapter 21
James‘ POV
I didn’t know why. Impulsively, I ran after Catherine and hupped her from behind. Both of us were nervous, and our bodies trembled slightly.
We hadn’t hugged this for a long time. In the past, I liked to hug her from behind, and she would look back at me and smile at me. Then we would kiss
Today, she looked back at me like before, but there was no smile in her eyes. Instead, there was tension, fear, and disgust.
When did I become such a person to her?
After we divorced, I had been immersed in anger and never even thought of talking to her.
Was I wrong!
For the first time, 1 began to reflect
She scolded me in a low voice, “Let go of me, James. Don’t make me hate you more. It’s the lids‘ birthday, and I don’t want to ruin it. Let go of me!” Today was the kids‘ birthday? All the more reason for me to stay.
Yes, that was right. There must be a reason for me to chase after her. It was because I sensed something. I began to find an excuse for myself. Soon, 1 found the best reason. It was because of that annoying Felix. Why was he everywhere? Why was he here, on my kids‘ birthday? And he dared to interrupt my conversation with Catherine.
Yes, for the sake of the lads, I had to be patient and stay with Catherine and the lads on their birthday,
So, 1 gently kissed her behind the car. 1 began to breathe heavily, and there was a longing in my voice. “Catherine, I’m already here. Please let me stay, even just with the kids.”
I saw a hint of gentleness in her eyes. “I’m begging you, Catherine
Sure enough, she relented. She said, “Fine. But you must do as I say. You cannot say anything you shouldn’t to the kids. They already know there’s a person named James.!!
“All right, whatever you say.” I couldn’t believe these were the words that came from me.
She struggled a bit. “Let go. We have to walk in as if nothing has happened.”
“OK” I quickly ran into the car and took out a bag. Then I tidied up my clothes and followed closely behind her.
After she entered the door, she pretended to be calm and greeted everyone. She then briefly introduced me to the kids, “He’s a good friend of mine, and he was just passing by, so I invited him to celebrate with us ”
I less that she deliberately plopped my name. Although I was a little disappointed that she did not tell the kids who I was, when I saw Feloc’s disdainful eyes, I inmediately cheated up. I said, “Good evening and happy birthday.”
The kids looked at me with puzzled eyes. I thought they were waiting for birthday gifts.
Fortunately, I was prepared. When I learned that they were my kids, I had already asked any assistant to prepare gifts for me, which came in handy today.
I opened the bag in my hand, slowly squatted down, took out the gift boxes, and handed them over one by one. “Arab!!!
one of the buys stretch out his hand, and I immediately handed the gift over. “This is for you.”
“Thank you,” he said a tile idly while glancing at Catherine I was a bit relieved that she did not stop him from accepting my gift.

Finally, it was Adela’s turn. She accepted the gilt with a smile and lagged me. “Think you”

I didn’t dare to participate. I was worried that I would accidentally tell them who I was. I that happens, Catherine will kill me, won’t she? I thought. Then flocked at her. She happened to look, in my direction. Maybe she was worried about ano coming into contact with the kids alone.
Well, I wouldn’t do that. I just wanted to getly observe my kids. All three of them had their unique characteristics.

The party drew to a close as some children left.

After the party ended, the lads went back to their rooms to wash up.
I thought I finally had a chance to be alone with Catherine for a while. Unexpectedly, Felix came back. “I’ll help you clean up.”
I muttered in my heart, say no,
Catherine,
However, she did not do so. Instead, she smiled and said, “That would be p
great. I’m terrible at cleaning up.”
Felix glanced at me and began to help Catherine clean up. I snorted silently and thought, look at you, you pathetic clown. You are all over Catherine. It’s so obvious that you’re putting on an act. And poor Catherine, how can you miss it?
He reaches out and touches Catherine’s face! Why didn’t she say no? By the looks of them interacting with each other, those who don’t know might think they are a couple who have been together for a long time! I became more and more jealous,
Catherine saw me just then. “Why haven’t you left?”
She was right. Why hadn’t I left? Why was I hiding here while spying on them? How should I know?
I shrugged. “I was about to leave
Catherine pulled me by the sleeve to the door. I didn’t want to leave. “Are you going to kick me out?” I asked jokingly,
“Everyone has left. I think you can leave as well.” Her reddish face was just like a ripe peach, and I wanted to nibble at it badly.

I slowly lowered my head, and her eyes widened. “You…”
“He hasn’t left yet, has he?” I was so jealous. Why did that damn Felix get to stay here? No way. How could I leave him alone with Catherine?
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Felix walking towards us. My overflowing jealousy made me lock Catherine’s slender waist and fiercely kiss her rosy lips
As she pushed me away forcefully, there was a shout “Mommy?”
I followed the sound and looked over. When did the ldds come out of the room? They looked shocked. They must have seen the scene.
I suddenly felt a little guilty.
However, when I saw the anger and pride in Felix’s eyes, my jealousy got the better of me. I didn’t care about anything anymore, and once again, I kissed
Catherine.
