Catherine's POV
"What happened?" I asked, looking at Noah. "I don't know. When I got to school in the morning, I suddenly felt very nervous, and then I felt scared. I fell without noticing," Noah said. I was stunned. I realized that it might have been the same time while I was being injured. Did Noah sense something because of his connection with me? But Noah was still so young, and he hadn't had his wolf yet. So, I dismissed the idea. I glanced at him. "Did you apply some ointment?" "Yes. The teacher helped me do it. The teacher was scared. She must have thought that daddy wanted to pick on her." Noah laughed proudly. I was speechless. What kind of attitude was that? "You can't blame your teacher for this. You deserve it, and your daddy has no right to pick on her," I immediately scolded Noah sternly, not allowing him to use Blake as his shield and be complacent. Noah immediately fell silent. Hedwig gloaCatherine's POV Blake's eyes flickered as he replied, "Of course. Whether he and Vanessa were conspiring against you or not, I will not hire him ever again, given that he had an affair with Vanessa. Why? Are you eyeing his position?" I was stunned. Did Blake think that I wanted to be promoted? "No, I'm not. I just want to ask you if you have anyone in mind." I was so nervous my palms were sweating. "Yes. I've made my decision. It will be ... you." He smiled. He was calm, and there was a hint of laziness in his eyes. He pointed to me. "Me? No way!" I didn't expect Blake to ask me to be the head of the Design Department. I didn't even dare to think about it. Blake's eyes darkened slightly. "Why not? You haven't done it before. You don't know." "I want to recommend someone to you. You can think about it. She is more suitable than me in every aspect," I said eagerly. "Who is it?" Blake's expression had returned to normal. He look
Catherine's POV I was embarrassed, and I had a feeling. He did it on purpose! Just as he was about to get handsy and wanted to make a further move, the voices of Hedwig and Noah came from outside the study. "It's so strange. Where are daddy and mommy? They are not in mommy's room, and they are not in daddy's room. Are they out?" Hedwig said in a panicked tone since she couldn't find us. Noah reached out and knocked on her head. "You fool. Look at the lights in the study. They must be inside." After Noah finished speaking, he raised his hand and was about to twist the doorknob. Meanwhile, Blake and I, who were inside the study, stiffened. I reached out my hand almost instinctively and pushed Blake away. As soon as I bounced off his arms, I saw Noah open the door and come in with Hedwig. "Daddy, mommy, you are here! I want some milk... Mommy, can you fix me a glass of Ash's formula?" Hedwig said pitifully. I hastily tidi
Catherine's POV I couldn't believe Blake had been watching me in the shadows. In other words, he saw what I just did! I felt extremely ashamed and immediately turned to leave. "Stop!" I had only taken a few steps when I heard his command from behind me. I stopped obediently and turned around. I glared at him with some resentment. "How long have you been standing there? Why didn't you make a sound? Did you deliberately make me a fool? You are so terrible." "You're just saying that because you're embarrassed. Right?" There was a smile in Blake's eyes. I was stunned. Damn Blake! Just as I decided not to talk to him for the rest of my life, Blake quickly walked toward me. Then, with a strong and overbearing grip, he pulled me towards the balcony. My eyes were wide open. I looked down at my wrist that was tightly grabbed by Blake, and I had been forcefully led forward by him. "Blake, what are you doing? Let go! I'm going to
Catherine's POV After eating two pieces of bread, I stood up with my purse. "I'll go to work now. Enjoy!" "Let's go together. I'll send you to the office." Blake suddenly stood up. Then I remembered that my car had been sent to be repaired, so I couldn't drive to work. "Thanks, then!" I didn't refuse him. Instead, I followed him out of the door. I sat in Blake's car and arrived at the company. As soon as I got out of the car, I heard the sound of some reporters secretly taking photos next to me. I turned around vigilantly, while they jumped into their car instantly and left. I was speechless. I guessed it wasn't easy to be a reporter nowadays. They went here to wait for us early in the morning, and they even acted like thieves when taking photos of us. What was their purpose? I knew my life would never be peaceful again now that I was involved with Blake. As soon as I stepped into the elevator, everyone was star
Catherine's POV Leo noticed my silence, and he seemed to realize that he had said something inappropriate. He quickly rephrased, "Don't get me wrong. I don't mean to belittle you. I just feel that you and Blake are not the same kind of people. You know that Blake is serious and boring. But you strike me as quite interesting." "It's fine. I know what you mean," I said, but I still felt a little upset about his comments. After I ended the call with Leo, another call came in before I could put my phone down. It was from Blake. "Yes?" I said lightly. "Who were you talking to on the phone? Why were you talking for so long?" Blake asked with a little dissatisfaction. I was stunned. I felt a bit guilty and lied, "It was just a client. What's up?" "Clear out your afternoon. I have something important to go to you," said Blake. "What is it?" I was surprised. "Anyway, I'll pick you up at three o'clock in the aftern
Catherine's POV "Where are you taking me shopping?" I asked curiously. "We go where the best things are," Blake said calmly. I couldn't help but look back at him. "You aren't going to spend a fortune changing my appearance just because of what people say on the Internet, are you? If so, then I guess I owe them a thank you." "Isn't it a matter of course for me to buy things for you? Do I need a reason?" Blake couldn't help but chuckle. "Fine. Aren't you afraid that I will buy lots and lots of stuff and max out your card?" I threatened him fiercely. "Go ahead. As long as that's what you want." Blake said generously. I suddenly realized that I had said something ridiculous again. Blake had so much money that even he lost count. "Forget it. I'm not that greedy. A few pieces will do." I thought about it, and I realized that I shouldn't take it out on him. After all, how I dressed was the reason why we were here. Blake didn'
Catherine's POV "I'm not interested in those things. Maybe we should go." I immediately declared that I didn't dig jewelry. "That's because you haven't seen anything you like. Trust me, when you wear jewelry that belongs to you, you'll love it," Blake said. "Blake, believe it or not, if you keep buying things for me like this, I might not be able to leave you ever again." I was in a mess. Blake stopped abruptly. I didn't see it coming at all, and I bumped into him. My head was buzzing. I touched my forehead and looked at him with confusion. "Are you serious?" His voice was low and charming. "What?" I blinked. "You can't leave me ever again?" Blake said directly. I was just teasing him. I only meant to scare him, yet I winded up being startled. "What do you want?" I took a step back. Blake took a step forward. His tall and muscular body was very close to me, and his voice was low. He said, "I want to know.
Catherine's POV When I returned to the lakeside villa, I found it quiet. Then I realized that I didn't see Howard and Ash in the parlor. "Where are Mr. Twitty and Ash?" I asked. "Mr. Twitty has gone out. He says he won't be home for dinner tonight, but he'll be back for another night." replied the servant. I smiled gratefully and walked upstairs with my purse. I figured that Dowen was on his way to pick up the kids. I could take the opportunity to take a shower and relax. I took a shower and changed into my pajamas. Just as I went downstairs, I heard the footsteps of the two kids running into the parlor. "Noah, let's go feed Chestnut and Peanut later, OK? I miss them a lot," Hedwig said. "OK!" Noah sounded very mature. "Hedwig, Noah, I will join you." I smiled as I walked down the stairs. Their eyes lit up, and they ran to the stairs to wait for me. "Mommy, why are you back so early?" I said gently, "I got off work early today!" "Mommy, what's that on your ha
