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
Catherine's POV "What are you talking about? Explain to me! What did I do to you?" Blake asked, confused. He gawked at me innocently. Seeing that, I became even more furious. I sneered, "Of course, you don't remember what you said, because you were dreaming. How am I supposed to know which woman you were snuggling up to in your dream? Instead of asking me, you should ask yourself. If you didn't want her to leave you, you should have asked her to stay. What's the point of dreaming about her every day now? Also, don't say those sappy things to me ever again." Blake looked like he realized something. "Cassy, are you so mad because you have feelings for me?" asked Blake. How could this man always miss the point? I was choked by his words! I was accusing him plausibly just now. However, because of his words, my aggressiveness instantly vanished. I lowered my head and tidied my messy long hair. I fell silent. Blake sa
Catherine's POV "Blake, let's say what you said is true. But I am not as emotional as you are." "I'm not trying to force you to fall in love with me, but I hope that our relationship will grow deeper. Can you tell me how you feel about me now? I want to be sure. I don't want to spend my day wandering anymore. Please?" Blake's tone was very gentle, making people unable to resist. I bit my lower lip. I had always been brave, but not right now. "Well, I admit that you have been very nice to me and the kids these days, and your performance is almost flawless. Anyway, I don't hate living with you now. But I can't say that I'm in love with you." I plucked up my courage and expressed my feelings. "It's already a good start, isn't it?" Blake chuckled in a low voice. I looked up at him. He had been immersed in sorrow just now, but now he was chuckling. Was he acting back then? "How's your relationship with your mother now?" I asked cu
Catherine's POV Just as we were having breakfast at the dining table, Howard pushed a baby cart and walked into the parlor. I asked him quickly, "We're going to Disneyland in Orlando later. Do you want to join us?" "Of course! How can Ash and I miss the fun? Am I right, Ash?" Ash was Howard's treasure, and he took great care of her. "Daddy, I want to play!" Ash mumbled. After Hedwig finished her breakfast, she sat up straight and looked at me feeding Ash. "Mommy, Ash is spitting out her food. Why are you still feeding her? She doesn't want to eat anymore!" Hedwig said unhappily. I chuckled. "Hedwig, Ash is still too little. She can't eat fast. This is how she eats. You used to eat like this as well." "That's not true!" Hedwig immediately denied that she used to be without table manners at all. The serious expression on Hedwig's face amused Blake and Howard. "Mommy, can you feed Ash quickly? We are done eating. W
Catherine's POV New Jersey was not far from Florida. After an hour of flight, the kids were a bit worn out. Hedwig, who had been singing and jumping on the plane, fell asleep in Blake's arms. A limousine appeared in front of the airport. We got into the limousine and headed for Orlando's most luxurious hotel. After we arrived at the hotel, Henry stepped forward and handed us the room cards of the suites on the top floor. Howard and Ash would take a suite, while the four of us took another. The presidential suite came with a suite and two beds. When I heard that there were only two rooms, my heart skipped a beat. However, when I entered the room, I realized that I worried too much. "Put the kids to bed, and let's get some rest as well." Blake whispered. I nodded. The two of us each carried a sleeping kid and gently put them on the bed. They were exhausted, especially Hedwig. She was singing and dancing on the pla
Catherine's POV "Hedwig, tell me, what do you want to play?" Blake squatted down and looked at Hedwig tenderly and lovingly. "Daddy, I want to have ice cream!" Hedwig said in a low voice. She secretly glanced at me, worrying that I would say no. "Hedwig, see? There are all sorts of funny things here. We can have tasty food later when we go out. Let's play for a while now, OK?" Blake said. "There's an ice cream stall over there. Daddy, please! I'll just have one!" Hedwig pretended to be pitiful and begged Blake. Blake was helpless. He looked at me with his dark eyes. I sighed. I said, "She can have the smallest one." After getting my permission, Blake stood up and said, "I'll go get it now. Hedwig, wait for daddy!" "Daddy, I will come with you!" Hedwig immediately jumped up and down happily and followed Blake closely. Noah tugged at the corner of my clothes and said, "Stupid Hedwig can eat ice cream. I want one, too!"
Third People's POV After what happened last time, Emerson's condition got worse quickly. Blake did not know if Richard would ever regret what he did. Right now, Blake simply wanted to spare Emerson any regrets. Then, it was time for him to settle accounts with Richard and Nick. Therefore, with Catherine's consent, in less than a month, he and Catherine sent out wedding invitations after their engagement. Abigail and Patricia gave Catherine a white wedding dress that cost nearly 10 million with thousands of diamonds on it. Catherine was so moved that her eyes turned red after learning that Abigail and Patricia had given her such a precious gift. Their ring had been custom-made a long time ago. It was a rarity with only the best diamonds, and it took the most skilled craftsmen nearly a month to polish. The ring, which had yet to be named, was finally given a name by the purchaser, Blake, and he called it "the one". It was Catherine's wedding
Catherine's POV In the morning, the sun was shining brightly. In this month of snow, it was a rare sunny day today. On this day, the love story between Blake and me finally had a perfect result. We were going to be engaged. This made the whole city excited. Everyone was talking about it, looking forward to seeing the scene of our engagement banquet. Blake prepared this engagement banquet in a hurry. In his view, everything was not perfect, but he was already doing his best to do everything. The Moon Goddess could vouch for me. I didn't care about this. As long as he was by my side, I would be satisfied. Emerson was very happy and very pleased. He could finally see his grandson getting married. At my engagement party, Abigail was present, but Halsey could not come. Because he did not want to ruin my engagement party. Today was the engagement party. It was not our wedding yet, so I did not wear a white wedding dress. I only wore a dar
Third People's POV The next morning, the news of Blake and Catherine's engagement was spread. It was not discovered by the reporters. Instead, because the Chavez Pack had sent the invitations early in the morning, the people who were invited would naturally talk about it. Thus, some media outlets took the opportunity to report it. They did not exaggerate the engagement banquet and simply reported it. The media and reporters were smart enough and knew clearly about what they could report unrestrainedly and whom they couldn't afford to offend. Blake was a good example. The rumors about him on the internet would always be removed in less than an hour. Therefore, if someone was ignorant and posted something about Blake randomly, he would never be able to bear the consequences. He would lose his job, implicated the entire company he was in, and even go to jail. Emily browsed the news on the internet with an ashen face. Blake and Catherine were about to get engaged.
Blake's POV Inside the manor. Richard stayed for dinner. Nick was also called back by Patricia. Patricia called Leo, but Leo rejected her. Patricia scolded Leo for that. Leo was depressed and went to eat with Sunny. Because of Olivia, the relationship between him and Sunny had been bumpy recently. Since it was a family dinner, Catherine had to bring the children downstairs. Richard was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Nick. I sat next to him as the host. I was already Lycan King. I had the final say in the entire royal wolf pack. Therefore, Richard and Nick didn't seem happy. After Catherine brought the two children downstairs, Nick's eyes focused on her. Catherine wore a long white knitted coat. Her long hair hung on her back. She looked sweet and warm. My gaze inadvertently swept across Nick's face, which was filled with obsession. Although he quickly put that look away, I saw it clearly. I became wary. How dare he covet my woman in
Blake's POV The night fell. I returned home at six o'clock in the evening. My face was cloudy. At this time, Richard should have arrived home. The car stopped outside Mountaintop Villa. I strode into the parlor. Dowen quickly came over and greeted me. "Is Richard here?" I asked in a low voice. Dowen pointed upstairs. "He just arrived. Now he is talking to Emerson and Patricia upstairs." I frowned deeply and snorted in my heart. I had made a difficult decision that I would not do anything to Richard when Emerson was still alive. However, if he kept making trouble, I wouldn't show any mercy to him. I climbed the stairs. I did not go up to see Emerson and Patricia immediately. Instead, I walked to the toy room. Then, I saw two little guys quietly practicing writing and drawing. Catherine sat gently on one side and was teaching them. Under the warm light, the scene of two children staying with their mom looked sweet. "Daddy
Blake's POV I had heard the news from my assistant and knew that Leo had come to see me. When I saw Leo push the door open, I immediately frowned. "How much did you drink?" "I have something very important to tell you!" After Leo finished speaking, he raised a mobile phone. "This is Sunny's phone. She went to see Olivia and recorded Olivia's statement. It seemed that Richard was really behind it." "Play it, now!" My face instantly darkened and my voice was urgent. Leo clicked the recording. After the two of us listened to it, Leo said coldly, "This is the evidence. We can send Richard to prison again. The werewolf court will give him the trial he deserves." "Leo, I also have something to tell you!" I was very angry after listening to the recording, but I could not be impulsive. After a few seconds of silence, I finally made a decision. When Leo saw that I didn't react the way he did, his expression changed greatly and suppressed his anger.
Third People's POV At noon, the sun hid in the clouds and the sky was dark as if there would be a blizzard at any time. Emily paced back and forth in the room uneasily. She had someone keep an eye on the development of the accident. She didn't expect that the accident would end in just a few days. The family of the deceased accepted Blake's large sum of compensation. The man she picked was still held at the police station. Thus, Emily felt as if she was waiting for the coming of death. She felt sadder day by day. The man had received 100,000 from Emily. Emily believed that she would be investigated soon. However, she didn't understand why the police hadn't called her yet. This matter had already come to an end. On the night that the man was arrested, he confessed everything. The police found out that the man had several bank accounts. Although he received the money in batches, there were 100,000 in total. The money and the man's ambiguous attitud
Catherine's POV It was early in the morning. At breakfast, Blake brought up the engagement. The others were very supportive. No one had any objections. Emerson was simply thrilled. He rarely came down to have breakfast with us. Hearing that Blake and I were going to get engaged, he said excitedly, "That's great! The sooner the better!" Hedwig stirred the oats in her bowl, pouted, and asked, " Daddy, Mommy, after you get engaged, can I have a younger sister?" Everyone was amused by her words. I was the only exception. I blushed. Blake's gaze swept across my face, and he gently put his arm around my slender waist under the table. I was startled and quickly pushed his unruly hand away. "Hedwig, no talking when eating. Have you forgotten?" I was worried that Hedwig might say something blunter, so I reprimanded her softly. "I'm sorry, Mommy." Hedwig immediately became obedient again. "Catherine, are you on vacation? I
Catherine's POV Blake went to work early the next morning. Suddenly, my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and found that it was Halsey. I was very glad to receive his call. "Halsey, why are you back so suddenly? You should have told me in advance." "It was a last-minute call. Can we have dinner together tonight? It would be even better if you could bring the kids together with you," Halsey said gently. I hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "Let me ask Blake. If he doesn't want me to bring the kids out, I will come alone." "Alright. See you tonight." Halsey hung up the phone. Then I called Blake and told him about the call with Halsey. There was a bit of displeasure in Blake's tone. "Is he back?" "Yes. Can I bring the kids to eat with him?" I asked him nicely, wanting to know his opinion. "At a time like this, I don't think you should take the kids out." Blake still blamed Halsey. I didn't insist. "OK then. I
