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 tidiCatherine'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
Catherine's POV I went downstairs with Hedwig, and I saw Howard's car parked outside the parlor. He pushed the door open and got out of the car hastily. Then he hurriedly opened the rear seat door and came in holding a baby who was crying her eyes out. "Ash, don't be afraid. Daddy's here. It's my fault. You must be terrified!" Howard blamed himself while holding Ash in his arms. I hurried over and asked with concern, "Mr. Twitty, did you take Ash out?" "Yes. She has been staying at home for two days, so I wanted to take her out to see the outside. But on our way back, she kept crying so hard. It breaks my heart!" His face was full of sorrow. I quickly held Ash in my arms and said, "Ash, come here and play with Hedwig. Let Hedwig sing for you, OK?" As soon as Hedwig heard that there was a chance to show off, she immediately began to sing a few songs that she had learned in kindergarten. Ash dug playing with kids. Seeing Hedwig singing and dancing in front of her, she
Catherine's POV Blake's words made me blush a bit. I turned, poured a glass of water, took it to Blake, and said, "Have some water." "Cathy, you're so nice to me." He looked at me seriously. I glanced at him with slight anger and shyness. "I'm only doing this for money." "I know you are not a snob. You are trying to hide the fact that you have feelings for me by lying," said Blake with a bit of smugness. I wanted to throw the glass of water right in his face badly. Was Blake drunk? Blake tried to sit up several times, but his attempts were all in vain. Then he pressed his head. "I'm dizzy. Can you help me?" I thought he was very drunk, so I walked over and tried to help him sit up. I put my arms around his shoulder and helped him up. Blake was practically leaning on me. I frowned. I didn't know what a man should be like when he was drunk, but Blake didn't seem right to me. How come he couldn't even sit straight? "Blake, just lie down. I'll call Dowen over and
