Catherine's POV
I changed the diaper for Ash, and when I carried her back to Howard, he said gratefully, "Thank you so much. You have no idea. After half a day with her, I already felt that my head was about to explode. How can she be this energetic?" I looked at Howard. Though he said he disliked the noise Ash made, the way he looked at Ash was full of love. I couldn't help but chuckle. "You can tell me now where your daughter came from, right?" I asked. He raised Ash dotingly and kissed her on the cheek. "Would you believe me if I said I pick her up from somewhere?" I looked at him with contempt. "Do I look like a three-year-old child to you? You dote on her so much, and you're telling me that you picked her up from somewhere?" Beside him, Hedwig clenched her fists and looked at him unhappily. "Howard, you're a grown man, yet you still lie." Howard couldn't help but laugh heartily. "Well, I'll tell you the truth. I just met Ash yeBlake's POV I had planned a lovely evening for the four of us. I didn't expect that Howard would join us together with his daughter, who was a crying baby. As soon as Ash got in the car, she immediately burst into tears. No one knew the reason, and none of us could calm her down. She just kept crying, and it seemed that she didn't even need to breathe at all. Her crying set almost everyone's ears ringing. "Cathy, do you know why she kept crying?" Howard checked Ash thoroughly and finally asked Catherine for help. I asked, "What did you call her?" Howard froze. "Catherine, help me. I have no idea what to do with her. I'm going deaf. Her body is so small. How can she keep crying like this?" Howard quickly rephrased. Catherine was thinking very hard. Suddenly, she stared at Howard and asked, "How many times has she had milk powder today?" "Well... I fed her once at noon. Don't tell me she's hungry," Howard said confidently.
Blake's POV A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Scarlett's face when she saw me and Catherine standing together. I caught her subtle expression in that instant. After Noah invited her to join us, she instantly showed a gentle expression and wanted to stroke Noah's head. Yet Noah dodged immediately. Her hand froze in the air, and she did not get to stroke Noah's head. She retracted her hand awkwardly. "Blake, let's go! Hurry! I can eat way much more with her eating together!" Noah said as he walked. I looked at Noah and then at Scarlett. Finally, my eyes fell on Catherine's face. Catherine deliberately turned her face away. "OK. Then let's dine together." I suddenly couldn't say anything to refuse when facing Noah. The corner of Scarlett's mouth curled into a smile as she followed me into the elevator. She intentionally pushed Catherine to a corner of the elevator and stood beside me. Of course, Catherine w
Blake's POV Scarlett's disguise was blown away by Noah with only one sentence. After hearing what Noah said, she blushed for a short while before looking at Noah gently. "I have known Blake for a long time. When we were young, we studied together. I know a lot about Blake." My expression was still calm, but I looked at Scarlett with a bit of surprise. Scarlett never suggested that she had feelings for me, and I always treated her as an ordinary member of the pack. I didn't expect Scarlett to admit that she had feelings for me right now. Hedwig blinked her big eyes and drank up the glass of milk in one go. After that, she blinked her big eyes again. She immediately put the glass down and asked Scarlett in French, "Do you really know Blake? Do you know who Blake likes the most now?" Scarlett wasn't choked by what Noah had said, but she was rendered speechless by what Hedwig said. Hedwig immediately stretched out a finger and pointed t
Catherine's POV I was speechless at Hedwig. She was just a child, but she acted like a housekeeper. She wanted to get involved in all my matters. Blake looked at me with his deep eyes, as if he was waiting for my reply. I pursed my lips and said in a low voice, "When can we eat? I'm hungry." I changed the topic. I didn't want to discuss my relationship with Blake in front of Howard and the kids. Meanwhile, Ash in Howard's arms clumsily walked forward, wanting to grab the colorful things on the table. Howard's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it and immediately asked me for help. "Cathy, it's Eda. Can you please keep an eye on Ash for me?" I glanced at Blake and found that his face had become sullen again. I turned my head and saw that Ash was walking crookedly. I quickly went to her side to protect her, and she directly ran to Blake. I had to follow her. Blake and I were very close to each other. I suddenly felt a wa
Catherine's POV When Howard heard what Blake said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. Howard said, "In that case, Ash doesn't need to learn anything at all. When she grows up a little more, she will naturally be very smart and cute. After all, she inherits my excellent genes." I couldn't help but let out a laugh when I heard Howard's words. Sure enough, men were conceited and unwilling to admit defeat. "Daddy, I've finally met someone who is more narcissistic and thick-skinned than you," Noah said instantly. Blake couldn't help but laugh in a low voice. Howard pretended to be angry and looked at Noah dangerously. "Noah, believe it or not. Ash will be smarter than you!" "Yeah, right. Look at her. She can't even eat by herself. When I was her age, I already ate by myself, and I knew a lot of words. I could even count from one to a hundred!" Noah said proudly. "No way! You know that kids shouldn't lie, right?" Howard looked at
Blake's POV After I packed my things, I was going to ask Catherine if she wanted to go with me. I could drive her to work. But as soon as I stood up, I saw Catherine leave without looking back. Under Dowen's gaze, I calmly took a breath, picked up the key, and left as well. I drove alone, and I couldn't help but speed up to catch up to Catherine's car. For some reason, I suddenly felt a sense of danger approaching. I lowered the speed and looked around through the window. The surrounding scenery was very good, and there was no one hidden in the grass. So, what made me have such a feeling? Just as I was feeling puzzled, the feeling pounced at me again, and it was even more violent. "Leroy, what is going on?" I awakened my wolf in mind. "Catherine is in danger," Leroy was silent for a moment and then replied. "What did you say?" I suddenly became nervous. "Where is she?" "In the forest ahead." Leroy
Catherine's POV I was so shocked when I heard what Blake said. He looked at me and comforted me in a low voice, "Don't worry. We'll know what happens when I get the investigation done. We'll go to the doctor for now." I thought what he said was reasonable, so I stopped speculating. When I calmed down, I realized that I was still lying in his arms. For some reason, my face was burning. "Let me up. I feel uncomfortable like this." I struggled to sit up. Yet at the same time, it seemed that there was a bump in the road, and the car shuddered. Because of this, my body fell back into his arms weakly. A hint of a smile flashed across Blake's eyes as he advised in a low voice, "Don't move. Your head is spinning. How can you sit still?" "I'm fine," I said stubbornly, but I stopped trying. However, as I lay in his arms, we were so close to each other. I felt the intense masculinity emitting from his body, which made me feel eve
Catherine's POV "Catherine, come on. We're working together already. Why are you still treating me like an outsider? Why didn't you tell me that you're King Blake's mate? You have no idea. I've been living on the edge of my stomach these past few days, afraid that King Blake is going to give me a hard time. Catherine, would you put in a good word for me with King Blake? I'll be sure to support your work in the future. You are truly one of the most talented and stylish designers I've ever met, and it would be my loss not to work with you." Lorelei was a true showbiz woman. She could be as honey-tongued as she wanted. I couldn't help but smile. "As I said just now, it was our company's fault. Ms. Pope, I hope you will put this behind you and continue to work with us." "Of course. I'm a very easy person to talk to. Catherine, I'll come to you in a few days for new design drafts. Don't worry. I won't rush you. Since you're with King Blake, I'm sure you won't have m
Third Person's POVA hint of embarrassment flickered across Sunny's face. Although she had courage and fighting skills, these didn't seem like things worth boasting about in front of the man she liked.What if Leo didn't like such a strong woman? Would he be put off by her?"Rest assured, I only fight bad guys. I would never raise a fist to you," Sunny said with a forced laugh.Leo, however, chuckled softly. "If one day I really become too much of a jerk, you'd have every right to teach me a lesson. I wouldn't have a word to say."Sunny just shook her head and remained silent. Of course, she could never bring herself to hit the man she liked."From this video, we can see the faces of those men. Don't worry, I will definitely catch these two jerks and get revenge for you," Leo said in a low voice, his tone firm."I just want to know why they were after me. Did I really offend someone at some point?" Sunny felt a vague sense of unease.
Third Person's POV"Take me to the hospital. I'm in pain." Sunny was at her breaking point, feeling like she was about to pass out from the agony.Without a word, Leo scooped her up into his arms and hurried towards the door."Close the door. I still have a lot of stuff inside." Sunny gritted her teeth and said.Leo, however, ignored her. "What's more important than your life?"Sunny could only watch helplessly as her front door remained wide open and the elevator doors swiftly closed.Leo held her tighter, noticing the cold sweat streaming down her forehead like a small river. It was then that he realized the extent of her suffering."Who did this? Who stabbed you?" Leo finally had a moment to ask her in a calm but forceful tone.Sunny shook her head. "I don't know. I don't recognize those people."Hearing her words, Leo's face turned ashen, nearly driving him to the brink of madness. She had been attacked by strangers.
Third Person's POVSunny returned home and, after a while of overthinking, decided to go out and buy something to eat.The news of her breakup with Leo had already faded a few days ago. Now, the engagement of Blake and Catherine had taken over the entire internet. The buzz around her had significantly diminished.Sunny put on a mask, went out without makeup, and wore a white woolen coat.She walked along the avenue outside her block, remembering a delicious cupcake shop she had visited before. She hadn't been there in a long time and was craving their food. Maybe her mood had improved, because she felt lighter on her feet, not as burdened as before.After all, Leo had proposed to her, and she was the one who had turned him down.Thinking of this, Sunny let out a quiet breath and felt a fleeting sense of triumph.But such thoughts were short-lived. In the world of love, there are no real winners. As long as one doesn't lose too badly,
Eda's POV"Eda, if only I had met you earlier, I would have always been by your side." Benjamin walked over to me, gently wrapped his arms around me. He held me tightly.I'm a very strong woman. I've hardly ever cried from childhood to now.But at this moment, for some reason, I felt like I needed protection. My heart was as fragile as glass, craving comfort."Yeah, why didn't you show up sooner?" I murmured with a smile, though my voice was a little choked up.Benjamin held me. His tenderness enveloped my heart.The things that scared me were indeed terrifying, but right now, his embrace made me feel safe.He said softly, "Eda, if you're scared, let's not do anything. If you don't want to get married, we'll just keep dating; if you don't want to have kids, we won't have any. I don't want you to face those things that scare you anymore."After hearing his words, I gently pushed him away, blinked my eyes, and asked in disbelief,
Eda's POVI stared at the beautifully designed wedding invitation on my desk. The minimalist yet elegant style exuded a casual and refined vibe.The off-white card was adorned with a light blue ribbon and featured the wedding details of Blake and Catherine in an exquisite font.Blake and Catherine were getting engaged. From the bottom of my heart, I was genuinely happy for them and sent my heartfelt congratulations.They had the courage to step into marriage and continue their sweet love story, which was truly enviable. But at least, I couldn't do it myself.I reached out and touched my still-flat stomach. Besides the occasional waves of nausea, I hardly felt any different. My body seemed to be functioning as usual."Ugh, this is so annoying!" I propped my head up with my hand and fiddled with my bangs, too agitated to focus on work.I felt like I was going through the worst phase of my life."Turns out, enjoying happiness come
Third Person's POVThe Royal Packhouse was filled with a festive atmosphere.Patricia woken up early and went with Dowen to select a series of holiday-themed furniture and decorations.Meanwhile, Catherine was still playing with the two little ones in the spacious manor. Today, Catherine decided to take the kids to the lush, green corridor to enjoy the scenery.Both children were dressed in thick down jackets—Noah in blue and Hedwig in bright pink.Despite being fraternal twins, their height difference was already noticeable. Noah was clearly half a head taller than Hedwig, making them look like true siblings.Hedwig was a true little foodie. Ever since she moved into Blake's home, she had been well-nourished and had become chubby, like a round little ball.She wore a small knitted hat that only revealed her delicate little face, looking like a cute little elf, extremely adorable.Due to the recent poor weather conditions
Third Person's POVBlake turned around sharply, his eyes pausing for a moment as he saw the woman behind him.The next second, he reached out and grabbed her wrist, saying, "Don't come out here."Catherine felt the warmth of Blake's palm and her heart softened.Sure enough, Blake quickly dropped the cigarette in his hand onto the damp floor beside him, where it was extinguished.Catherine was almost forcibly pulled back inside by Blake. The next second, he closed the door, shutting out the cold.His palm was warm, but he radiated a chill all over.Catherine's face was pale from the cold, but she still whispered, "Are you cold? You should take a shower quickly.""Hmm, let's go. Are the kids asleep?" Blake nodded and asked gently."Yeah, they're getting harder to put to bed these days," Catherine said with a sweet smile.Blake gently touched her long hair and said softly, "You've really been working hard. The older
Third Person's POV"Damn it!" Leo cursed under his breath as he stormed back home, slamming the door shut behind him.He couldn't believe his first marriage proposal had been rejected. It was a real blow to his ego.But on second thought, Sunny wasn't the kind of person who acted on impulse like him. She was calm and thoughtful.Maybe that was exactly what he needed.If he was impulsive and she was level-headed, wouldn't they be the perfect match? Didn't a lasting marriage need a combination of such contrasting personalities?Thinking this way, Leo's lips curled up slightly. Maybe things weren't that bad after all.Sunny clutched her handbag tightly, her head feeling heavy and dizzy. The events of the past few days kept swirling in her mind, driving her crazy.If it weren't for the Olivia thing, she would have said yes without a second thought.Marrying Leo had been her teenage dream. Now that it was within reach, she ju
Third Person's POV"Say that again!" Leo's tone turned dangerous all of a sudden. How dare she say something like that?Sunny sighed softly. "Leo, this constant on-and-off thing between us seems pointless. Every time we're together, I find myself falling for you even more. And every time we part, the hurt gets worse. Unless... unless you marry me and I become your wife, and we have a reason that can't be undone, I can't stay with you peacefully."It took all of Sunny's courage to say that. She thought Leo would laugh at her for even suggesting marriage. How greedy of her to ask for that!"Alright, I'll marry you!" After thinking for just three seconds, Leo replied."Wha..." Sunny couldn't believe her ears. Did she just hear Leo agree to marry her? Was she dreaming?Suddenly, Leo grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her closer. "I said, I'll marry you. And we can get engaged right away!""Are... are you serious? Actually, I was just jok
