Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO novel Chapter 303

Chapter 303

Blake’s POV

‘Snow.”

I frowned watching her back away. My cat, who normally ran to me when called, hissed and pressed herself against Evelyn Knox’s legs.

This wasn’t like Snow at all. She always jumped into her carrier when we traveled, eagerly following me everywhere. Now she looked at me like I was a stranger – worse, someone to fear.

Snow kept her eyes on me while staying glued to Evelyn’s side. What happened to make her act this way so suddenly?

“Emma.”

The woman crouched down and handed Snow to her daughter.

“Take Snow to the bedroom. Mommy needs to talk with Mr. Parker.”

The little girl nodded. “Okay! I’ll take Snow to the bedroom!”

What surprised me was how easily Snow went to her. My cat, who typically avoided strangers, settled comfortably in the child’s arms. Snow even adjusted her paws around Emma’s arm to make herself easier to carry.

Emma struggled a bit with Snow’s weight but looked determined.

“Mommy, be careful,” she warned, glancing nervously my way. “This man doesn’t look very nice.”

‘I’ll call Daddy and tell him to come back soon!”

She gave me one last nervous look before closing the door.

“Mommy, be careful!” she called out.

Now only Evelyn and I remained. She walked to the coffee table and poured tea without looking at me. “Since you found your way here, Mr. Parker, it seems you already know that Dr. Clarke has given the cat to me.”

Her voice was flat, matter-of-fact.

“From today on, Snow is my cat and has nothing to do with you anymore.”

I took a deep breath. “Mrs. Knox. You must have realized how much you resemble my ex-wife when you first arrived on Long Island.”

“Dr. Clarke is elderly. When he saw your face, he mistakenly believed you were my ex-wife. That’s why he gave Snow to you, thinking he was returning her to her rightful owner.”

“But… you should know better than anyone that you’re not Audrey Sinclair, and you’re not Snow’s true owner. You have no right to keep this cat.”

She looked at me with a hint of mockery in her eyes. “I have no right? And you think you do, Mr. Parker?”

Chapter 303

‘I saw Snow’s reaction to you quite clearly just now.”

She set her cup down. “If you truly took good care of this cat, would she prefer to go with me and Emma, strangers to her, rather

than with you?”

I didn’t expect that line of questioning.

“That hiss she directed at you – you should know that’s the sound cats make when they feel threatened.”
