Chapter 7

During the early days of my marriage to Elijah, I often found myself alone in the estate, with no one to talk to.

I wanted to get an orange cat, just like Dreamer, but Elijah thought cats were a nuisance. After much pleading, I finally convinced him to let me keep one.

However, when Gavin was born, we discovered he was allergic to cat hair. The kitten was sent away less than a day after it arrived.

My focus then shifted entirely to Gavin.

Now, hearing Gavin's words again, I didn’t hold back. “I’m not your mother anymore. Didn’t you understand what I said that day?”

Gavin's eyes showed a flicker of confusion, as if he couldn't believe I truly didn’t love him anymore.

In his mind, I should always be the one standing behind him, patient and caring, no matter how he treated me.

“Even if I opened a cat café now, that’s my business.”

“There’s nothing more to discuss. You and your father should stay out of my life. Seeing both of you is exhausting.”

“Fine, walk away. You’ll regret being alone one day,” Gavin retorted angrily as he stormed off.

I remained seated, waiting for the doctor to return with the results.

An hour later, the doctor emerged holding a beautiful little orange tabby, its teeth bared in a cute little grin.

As soon as it saw me, it let out a series of adorable meows.

I took the kitten from the doctor and gently tapped its nose. “From now on, your name is Beauty, okay?”

Initially, I had wanted to name it Dreamer, but it only responded to the name Dreamer. Now, I finally had my dream cat.

I bought a bunch of supplies from the pet store and had them delivered. Holding Beauty, I said, “From now on, you’re a princess. Let’s see who dares to call you a little stray.”

Once home, I set up Beauty's new space before making a phone call.

While on the Arctic ship, I met three children planning to travel from Xinjiang all the way to Iceland. They asked if I wanted to join them.

Now, I needed to figure out what paperwork I’d need to take Beauty overseas.

After sorting everything out, a month had passed, and I was waiting at the meeting point for them.

Once everyone had gathered, we set off into the distance.
