The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 473 - 469

Chapter 473: Chapter 469

I wasn’t sure what Lisa had said to Damon, but I could guess.

Knowing Lisa, she would definitely demand that Damon kick Catherine out of the Coleman house. After all,the Coleman family had no room for a woman as scheming as her.

"Are you going to throw me out?" Catherine guessed, forcing a smile. "Damon, do you feel the same way? Are

you going to abandon me like you did all those years ago?"

Damon hadn’t been firm enough back then, but Catherine hadn’t exactly been a saint either. Her actions left much to be desired.

In my previous life, Damon had adored Bonnie, likely because she reminded him of Catherine. Given this, it was easy to imagine the place Catherine held in his heart, especially now with their son, Leo, in the picture.

Just as Damon was about to respond, Leo burst out of his room, tears streaming down his face. He clung to Catherine’s leg and pleaded, "I don’t want to be separated from mommy! Grandma, don’t make her leave! If she goes, I’ll go with her!"

"Leo, if I have to leave, you have to listen to your grandparents and your father, okay?" Catherine didn’t plead alongside Leo. Instead, she crouched down, looking at Leo with a pained expression.

She shot me a glance, then continued speaking to Leo, "And you have to listen to your new mommy."

Was she trying to drag me into this?

I frowned, "Leo, you won’t have a new mommy. Don’t worry."

My words seemed to ease Catherine, but Damon and Lisa looked anything but pleased.

At the end of the day, this was their family drama. I had no business sticking around, especially given Damon’s indecisiveness. His feelings for Catherine were unclear, and I was growing impatient with his inability to make a decision.

"Lisa, Serena and Brandon are still sleeping. I’ll head to my room." I said to Lisa and left.

She seemed to want to call out to me, but she didn’t.

When I got back to my room; my phone started ringing.

Damon was calling, but I didn’t feel like dealing with him. To be honest, I was growing tired of his indecisiveness. I missed the Damon from my previous life, who would move mountains for the woman he loved and didn’t think twice about it.

Now, he didn’t seem to truly love anyone. Everything was vague and unclear, a stark contrast to the man I once knew.

After ignoring Damon’s calls, he showed up at my doorstep.

I didn’t open the door, instead I called out to him, "Shouldn’t you be dealing with Catherine’s situation?

Damon, will you ever learn to love someone wholeheartedly?"

"I’ve said it before, I don’t love Catherine. Whatever happened between us was years ago. How many times do I have to explain this?" Damon sounded exasperated, "Open the door, let’s talk face-to-face."

"I came to Heavenly Mountain to accompany your mother, not to meddle in your business with Catherine!"

I was growing frustrated.

Damon didn’t respond. Instead, his phone rang. He answered, and his tone grew serious, likely due to a work-related issue.

After hanging up, he left without a word.

A few minutes later, I received a text.

[I have to head back for work. We’ll discuss Catherine’s situation next time we meet.]

didn’t reply. I simply let out a sigh of relief. With Damon away, I could finally relax.

The next morning, I rose early to travel to Heavenly Mountain. The journey was quite the ordeal, especially with two kids in tow. We couldn’t hike, so we had to take a cable car or bus, a journey that would take at least two hours.

When I met up with Lisa and Catherine, neither of them looked particularly well.

It wasn’t until Lisa saw Serena and Brandon that she managed to crack a smile. Suddenly, I noticed something different about Leo. He was wearing a pair of gold bracelets, adorned with a unicorn

pattern, identical to the ones Serena and Brandon had.

Caught off guard by my gaze, Leo looked at his own bracelet, then turned to Lisa, "Grandma, did you give them these bracelets?"

Lisa seemed flustered, unsure of how to respond to her beloved grandson.

Catherine quickly intervened, "Leo, it’s rude to ask such questions. It’s okay for Grandma to like other kids, you know?"

She had changed her tune significantly from the day before.

"I understand. I like my brother and sister too. Our bracelets are so pretty." Leo seemed to have matured overnight. He even reached out to gently touch Serena and Brandon’s faces.

Watching Leo act so mature, Lisa’s expression softened, "That’s right, your brother and sister are very adorable, just like you."

Leo nodded, looking exceptionally well-behaved.

Yet, he would often glance at Catherine for approval. It broke my heart to think that he was only acting this way to please his mother.

I didn’t particularly like Leo. However, when I thought that he was often incited by Catherine, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

With the tension somewhat diffused, we set off for Heavenly Mountain.

Lisa seemed to be in a bad mood on our way there. Silas tried to cheer her up over a quick call, but they hung up after exchanging a few words.

"Lisa, has something gone wrong at the office?" Catherine suddenly asked.

"I don’t know," Lisa replied coldly.

Could there actually be trouble back at Coleman Co.? I was taken aback. The memory of Damon receiving a late-night call yesterday made me worried. I remembered how stressful it had been when my family’s business had run into a snag. But Damon was different from me; he should be able to handle it.

Besides, it wasn’t my place to worry.

"Damon wouldn’t rush back in the middle of the night unless something was up." Catherine continued, and I gave her an annoyed glance.

Lisa already suffered from depression. We needed to keep her spirits up, not deliberately poke at her sensitivities.

But Catherine seemed indifferent to my warning glance, casually looking away.

"Damon can handle whatever is happening at the company. It’s not our place to worry," Lisa said, clearly not interested in discussing the matter further. She cut Catherine off with an air of impatience.
