Chapter 776 What's Wrong with Mommy?
Trevor was hypnotized by her and shouldn't know that he had other children besides Julian.
If he knew that the kid wasn't Julian and pretended not to know, then it meant he might have discovered something!
That would be bad!
At this moment, Sophia's eyes were filled with a dark determination. If she was certain she couldn't get what she wanted, she would rather destroy it than let someone else have it.
Katherine put the sleeping Julian on the bed, then went to the bathroom to take a shower and changed into comfortable, loose clothes.
When she came out, Julian was still asleep. She walked to the bedside and looked at Charles and Edith, who were still running and flying kites in the yard, her eyes full of tenderness.
After calling in a servant to look after Julian, Katherine felt reassured and went downstairs to check on Charles and Edith.
Although it was not yet noon, the sun was already very strong.
Katherine looked at the two children who seemed completely unfazed by the sun, feeling a bit helpless. She walked under Fiona's sunshade and shouted, "Alright, you two, time to come inside! If you keep playing out there, you'll end up with a sunburn!"
Hearing Katherine's voice, Charles and Edith, who were fighting over the kite reel, immediately turned their heads to look at Katherine, then dropped the kite reel and ran over!
Charles affectionately took Katherine's hand, "Mommy, you're back!"
Katherine smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm back!"
Edith hugged Katherine's leg, looking up with a cute little face that didn't show any signs of being sunburned.
"Mommy, why did you come back so late? Did you bring any treats or fun things for me and Charles?"
As Edith spoke, she stretched out her little hand to Katherine, expecting something.
Katherine gently patted Edith's little hand, "You've been playing all morning and still want more? You just want Mommy to bring you fun things!"
Edith pouted unhappily, "Mommy! You only took George out and forgot to bring anything for me and Charles?"
Katherine didn't forget about it, but because she came back in Jonathan's car, she was too embarrassed to ask him to detour to buy gifts for the kids.
Edith was really not easy to fool!
Katherine squatted down and pulled the two children close to her, "Mommy didn't forget. Mommy wants to take you out to buy gifts later and let you choose for yourselves!"
Hearing this, Charles and Edith were delighted and said in unison, "Okay!"
Edith hugged Katherine's neck and rubbed against her, "Mommy, I love you so much!"
Katherine was very happy to be rubbed by Edith, "You don't really love Mommy; you just love Mommy buying you gifts!"
Edith emphasized seriously, "Of course, I love you, Mommy, but I love you even more when you buy me gifts."
Fiona stood aside watching them, and said with some discontent, "Katherine, it's only because you're back that they are willing to put down the kite! You don't know, no matter how I coaxed them just now, these two little rascals wouldn't listen to me. They just couldn't get enough of playing!"
Katherine looked up at Fiona and sincerely thanked her, "Thank you for your hard work! Go rest, I'll take care of them from now on."
Fiona wanted to go back to her room, take a good bath, and take care of her skin. She had a date with Nathan tomorrow!
"Katherine, are you going to take them out to buy gifts later? How about I go with you? I'm afraid you won't be able to handle all three of them by yourself!"
Katherine nodded slightly, "We'll go after Ju...George woke up. I'll have the driver take us to a nearby toy store, and we'll come back after buying the gifts. You don't need to come along; go rest and do your own things!"
She almost called Julian by his name, but fortunately, Fiona didn't notice.
Fiona nodded, "Then I'll go take a bath! Katherine, call me if you need anything!"
Katherine responded, "Go ahead."
After handing the two children over to Katherine, Fiona went back to her room to prepare for a bath.
Not long after Fiona left, Katherine's phone rang twice with a text message notification.
She took out her phone and looked at the message, her pupils suddenly constricting.
Edith keenly noticed Katherine's change and frowned, "Mommy, what's wrong?"
Katherine snapped out of it and pretended to be relaxed, shaking her head, "Nothing. Let's go, Mommy will take you to change clothes. Once George wakes up, we'll go buy toys!"
Edith replied, "Okay!"
Charles nodded.
At the Crescent Group.
Ambrosia had been busy all morning and was feeling hungry. She looked at her watch and was about to get up to ask Frank if he wanted to go out for some Mexican food.
Today, she didn't have much of an appetite and didn't feel like eating the company's cafeteria food.
She stood up, adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, and was about to pick up her blazer from the chair when she heard a knock on the office door.
Ambrosia picked up her blazer and looked towards the door, asking, "What's the matter?"
Outside the door, the secretary respectfully reported, "Ms. Hawthorne, a Mr. Mitchell is here to see you. He says he's a good friend of yours. Do you want to see him?"
Hearing this, Ambrosia instinctively got goosebumps.
The only Mr. Mitchell who would come to see her was Sunny, no one else!
Sunny had changed a lot in the past three years, especially in bed, where his skills had significantly improved.
Ambrosia didn't want to run into Sunny, so she sat back in her office chair and rubbed her temples, "No. Tell him I'm not here."
"Yes!" The secretary responded and left.
But not long after, she heard the secretary's troubled voice outside the door, and then her office door was suddenly pushed open!
Sunny walked in arrogantly with his hands in his pockets, looking at her with a teasing gaze, "You really don't want to see me, huh? You're clearly here, but you told them to say you weren't!"
Ambrosia looked up at him coldly, "Mr. Mitchell, you've indeed matured, but don't you think you're becoming increasingly rude?"
Sunny walked to the seat in front of her desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down, "My politeness depends on who I'm dealing with. With you, I don't feel the need to be overly polite."
