Catherine's POV
I stretched and stood up. The only amazing view outside my French window was Blake's two skyscrapers. Looking at that, I picked up my phone and called Blake. Blake's tone was very gentle. He said, "Cathy?" It was so weird. Whenever I heard him call my name, I always felt an electric shock. I didn't feel a thing when other people called me by my name. However, it felt so great when I heard my name coming from Blake's mouth. "Yes, it's me," I answered in a low voice. "What's the matter?" Blake's voice rose slightly. "I want to take the kids to dinner with Melinda tonight, OK?" There was a trace of pleading in my tone. "You are their mother. You can make the decision yourself. Why ask me?" Blake laughed. I said in a low voice, "I think so as well, but you are their father anyway." "Cathy, haven't we already decided to go public about the kids? We won't hide them anymore, OK?" Blake said withThird person's POV When Catherine and Melinda were eating, Hedwig suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom. When Catherine brought Hedwig to the bathroom, a woman happened to come out of one of the compartments. She was stunned when she saw Catherine. Then she heard a girl beside Catherine say, "Mommy, can you hold me so that I can pee?" Catherine immediately scolded, "No. You shouldn't have such a bad habit. Do it yourself." "No! Mommy, I want you to hold me!" Hedwig immediately acted in pettishness. "Fine! I will hold you." Catherine gave in. Meanwhile, the woman was washing her hands slowly. She took out her phone secretly. The woman was not far away from Catherine and Hedwig. She took photos of their backs while Catherine was taking Hedwig's hand. Catherine had a daughter. It would be a piece of explosive news! The woman figured that she would make a fortune with the photos. The woman was one of Gina's f
Third person's POV They knew who King Blake's girlfriend was. Rumors had it that the woman was a designer in the company. "Please, this is really important!" Gina immediately put on an act. A receptionist helped her call Henry. A few minutes later, one of the receptionists stood up with an access card. "Please go to the CEO's office, King Blake is waiting for you." Gina's eyes lit up. She knew it. Blake didn't want to be some idiot who didn't know anything. Even Gina's footsteps became lighter. She entered the elevator. The elevator was going up. Gina was quite familiar with the building. She arrived at the CEO's office without difficulty. She raised her hand and knocked on the door. After getting permission, she pushed the door open and entered. Behind the grand office desk, Blake sat on a black chair with his eyes slightly cold. Gina was slightly stunned when she looked at Blake. Every time she came to
Catherine's POV I suddenly received a call from Blake when I was in the office. I was a little puzzled why he called me at this time. I picked up the phone. A deep and pleasant voice sounded from the other end of the line. "When you were eating with Hedwig in the restaurant yesterday, Gina's people took some photos of you. She just came to me with them to tell on you," said Blake with a chuckle. "What? She hired someone to follow me?" I was shocked. Exactly how much did Gina hate me? She even hired someone to follow me when I was out! It was outrageous. Blake said calmly, "Be more careful when you go out from now on. Or there might be another scandal before you know it." "I see. Did you tell her about Hedwig?" I asked. "Yes. I told her that the girl was my daughter. She seemed devastated." said Blake lazily. I smiled bitterly, "I guess the public will know about the kids sooner or later." "Don't worry. Our kids
Catherine's POV "Yes. I hate him so much that I want to kill him. But I think I hate myself even more. I probably wouldn't have been able to run away that night, no matter who it was." I felt a bit stiff and cold, and I was trembling. It took great courage to open up old wounds again. I chose to forget everything before. I chose to start my life after I had Noah and Hedwig. I felt happiness only after having them in my life. "Ms. Wyatt, relax. Can you tell me what your nightmares were like?" Penelope asked me as softly as she could. I nodded. "Sometimes I felt torn apart by an animal, and sometimes I felt trapped in a dark room." "Be more specific. Have you ever had any sex dreams?" "Yes ... yes, once." "Can you see the man's face in the dream?" "It was very blurry. I couldn't." Penelope recorded my symptoms. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly said, "Now that you know it was King Blake, do you hate
Catherine's POV "You can't help me. I'm in charge of the seat arrangement for this launch. You don't know which of our guests is more important," I said with a little pride. "I don't care about others. You just need to reserve six seats in the front row," said Blake. "Why? I have already made the arrangement," I muttered. Blake was not here to help me. He was here to cause me trouble. "Because those sitting in these seats will be more powerful than everyone else." After that, Blake began to name them, "I have already invited the Benjamin brothers, Howard, and Eda. And there's me and the kids." I was stunned. I looked at him in disbelief. "Why will you be there?" "You'll be the host. Shouldn't I show up, given that I'm your boyfriend? Besides, I'm sure the kids would love to see the results of their mommy's busy days at work." Blake's reasons were flawless. I quickly explained, "I'm not saying that I don't want you to be there. I jus
Catherine's POV Melinda asked tentatively, "Cathy, do you have feelings for Harley?" I was stunned when I heard what she said. "No. What makes you ask?" "I just felt that you cared about him a lot. Cathy, if King Blake finds out, will he be jealous?" Melinda immediately said. I replied seriously, "I swear. I don't have feelings for Harley. I just want to help him as a friend. Of course, if Blake knew about this, he would be angry. That's why I want to ask you to help me invite Harley." "Well, I can make a call," Melinda said. In the afternoon, Melinda knocked on the door and came in. She shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly, "I have already reached out to Harley's agent and told him you wanted to invite Harley. But Harley refused." "I see." I was stunned at the response, but it kind of made sense. I knew Harley. He wasn't a man who would disregard his principles in exchange for popularity. "Are you going to call him you
Catherine's POV "Why don't you just tell me what it is?" said Leo. Then I told him my request, "I want you to sing a song with Gina. Is that OK?" "Gina? Why do you want me to sing with her? Don't tell me you want to fix us up. That's a lot of contempt for me. Don't you know me? How can I possibly have feelings for a woman like her?" Leo said disapprovingly. "No, don't get me wrong. That's not what I meant. Of course, Gina wasn't a good match for you. The thing is, I made a deal with her, and this was her request. Otherwise, I wouldn't have troubled you with this." I was very anxious. It was about the secret of my birth, and I needed Leo's help. "If you tell me what your deal is, maybe I'll think about it!!" Leo said with a bit of complacency. "No. It's my secret." I didn't want him to know. "I won't help you unless you tell me." Leo was also very stubborn. I had to give in. "Really? Will you help me if I tell you?" "Of
Catherine's POV I took a shower, lay down beside Hedwig, closed my eyes, and went to sleep. Actually, I hadn't had those nightmares since I moved into Blake's villa. I didn't know why. But I did know that I was getting better and better. Time flew by, and another day passed. Today was Leo's birthday. It would be rude to show up empty-handed on someone's birthday. So, I decided to let the two kids prepare their gifts for Leo. We were sitting at the dinner table, having breakfast. "Mommy, can you give me some money? I will buy a bunch of flowers for Leo." Hedwig came up with a good idea. Noah mocked, "Leo is a man. Men do not like flowers. Mommy, I want to give Leo a super cool lighter. Is that OK?" "Smoking is harmful to our health. The teacher just taught us yesterday. Noah, do you want Leo to smoke every day?" Hedwig immediately retorted. Blake hurriedly said, "Noah, Hedwig, Leo is rich. He can buy anyth
Third Person's POV"You and Noah came from my belly, not from a box.""Oh, then who put us in your belly? Was it the 'heaven' you mentioned earlier?" Hedwig asked, her big eyes wide with curiosity.Catherine was genuinely stumped this time. She touched her chin, pretending to think deeply. "Uh, well... you'll understand when you grow up. It's not something we can talk about now."She couldn't possibly say that Blake had "put them there." If she did, Hedwig's next question would undoubtedly be, "How did Daddy put us in your belly?" Catherine's head was already spinning at the thought.Patricia walked in carrying a plate of fruit. When she saw Hedwig's paint-smeared face, she burst out laughing. "Oh my, when did we get a little calico cat in the house?""Great-grandma, where's the cat? Can I see it?" Hedwig asked, her face lighting up at the mention of a cat."The little calico cat is you! Look at your face—it's covered in paint!"
Third Person's POVBlake sneered, his voice laced with sarcasm. "Do you really think someone who could kill his own brother has any conscience left? He's always resented Grandpa for favoring Dad. If he finds out about Grandpa's condition, the first thing he'll do is fight for Grandpa's shares."Leo's expression darkened. He realized he had been naive to think Richard might have a change of heart."Blake, then we absolutely can't let him know about Grandpa's condition. If he finds out, he won't care about Grandpa's life at all!" Leo said, his voice filled with anger."He's arriving tonight. Do you want to come and see him?" Blake asked coldly.Leo shook his head. "I don't want to see him. I'm afraid I might lose control and kill him.""You need to stay calm. He's a dog, but you're not. You don't bite randomly," Blake said, lecturing Leo.Leo knew he wouldn't actually kill anyone, but his temper was fiery. If he saw Richard, he might no
Third Person's POV"I found out not long ago. Before that, I also asked the doctor about Grandpa's condition every day, and he always told me Grandpa was doing well," Blake explained, his voice strained with grief."That quack! How dare he lie to us? Does he think we're fools? He should be ashamed of himself!" Leo shouted, his anger boiling over."Yelling at him won't help. Grandpa and Grandma made this decision together," Blake said calmly."Grandpa is so stubborn. How could he keep something like this from us? Does he want us to feel guilty for the rest of our lives?" Leo's anger shifted to his grandfather."Grandpa just doesn't want us to grieve for him. I think any parent would want to spare their children that pain," Blake said.Leo realized there was no one left to blame. He sighed, his eyes filled with despair. "Then what can we do now? Blake, tell me."Blake looked at him steadily, then sighed. "At least, while Grandpa is stil
Third Person's POVSunny had obtained Olivia's recording, yet she hadn't handed it over to him immediately. She was still protecting Olivia. It seemed that in the face of love and family bonds, there was still a distinction in importance.Clearly, her feelings for him were far less significant than the familial ties she had with Olivia.Or perhaps, there was no comparison to be made at all.Leo's heart was like a chaotic storm, agitated and bewildered, searching for a reason to calm down.Upon reaching the base of the Imperial Building, Leo strode straight in and marched towards Blake's private elevator.As the second son of the Royal Pack, Leo had never concealed his identity. Thus, as he strode through the lobby, he attracted only envious glances from women.Even though Leo's expression was cold, his fervent female fans still pursued him relentlessly.Perhaps it was Leo's taut expression, coupled with the band-aids on his fac
Third Person's POVSunny let out a bitter laugh. "You really think too highly of me. Actually, I've already broken up with him, and I don't plan to be a star anymore. You can go back now.""Sunny, aren't you really considering your future? You're already famous now. Once you become well-known, it's hard to go back to your simple life. No matter where you go, people will pay attention to you. Instead of being ridiculed, why not hold your head high and be your own queen? You have the potential. You're very beautiful!" Melissa kept persuading her.Sunny's mind went blank. Where was her future? She really hadn't thought about it at all.She used to simply want to earn more money to improve her quality of life, travel when she had time, and treat herself to delicious food for her hard work. But now? She didn't dare to think about anything."A single romance has beaten you down like this. You don't seem like the Sunny I know. You used to be so brave and
Third Person's POVAt that moment, Sunny's smile had vanished, as if she had been abandoned by the entire world. The hurt and grievance she had suffered were evident to Moira. The words Leo had spoken in front of the camera were truly devastating.Once, their love had been passionate and fearless, disregarding the opinions and evaluations of others. Now, the abandonment was decisive and ruthless, without any mercy. For a young girl who had not experienced major setbacks, being suddenly forced to break up was something no one could accept."I'll be fine." Sunny whispered."Why don't you move back home? I'll only feel relieved if I can see you," Moira suggested.Sunny shook her head quickly, "No, I won't move back!"Upon hearing this, Moira immediately said, "Is it still about what your stepfather mentioned last time? Don't worry, if he dares to marry you off to someone else, I'll divorce him."Sunny shuddered at the thought of the cond
Emily's face turned pale with fear, and she managed to suppress her curiosity. However, the thought that Blake's father might have been killed by Richard made her realize that everything was far more serious than she had imagined.This was a fight to the death, a gamble with lives at stake, even though there were no visible signs of battle.Emily was filled with regret. She had initially come up with the bad idea to impress and prove herself, but now it felt like she had dropped a stone on her own foot.Sunny had been in a daze at home for almost two days, not eating anything except for a few sips of water.If it weren't for Moira showing up with a bag full of food and snacks, she might have starved herself to death."Look at you! Hiding in the corner, living in a daze. This isn't like my daughter at all," Moira exclaimed as she entered the dimly lit room and quickly pulled open the curtains, letting the bright light stream in.Sunny instinc
Third Person's POVThe pasta was delicious, and Blake finished every last bite.He rarely overate, but tonight, he felt pleasantly full.Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, it was midday, but the sky was overcast, threatening a snowstorm.Emily paced restlessly in her room, her anxiety growing by the minute. She had been keeping tabs on the incident back home, but to her surprise, the situation had been resolved quickly. The victim's family had accepted Blake's generous compensation, and the man she had hired was still in police custody.Emily felt like she was waiting for a death sentence.The man had been paid fifty thousand dollars, and it was only a matter of time before the authorities traced the money back to her.What she didn't know was that the man had already confessed everything.In reality, this case had already been resolved.On the night the man was arrested, he had confessed everything. The police d
Third Person's POVEven if Dowen was a bit slow on the uptake, hearing Blake's words made him pause for a moment. Then, with a knowing smile, he said, "Alright, Mr. Chavez. I'll go rest now. Call me if you need anything.""Mm," Blake nodded, dismissing Dowen before turning his attention back to Catherine, who was busy cooking.The spacious kitchen was soon filled with the rich aroma of sizzling beef and boiling pasta. Blake hadn't felt particularly hungry earlier, but now, the smell made his stomach growl painfully.Catherine glanced at him, noticing his intense gaze. She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, feeling slightly self-conscious. "It'll be ready soon. Just wait a little longer.""Catherine," Blake said suddenly, his voice low and serious, "from now on, you're only allowed to cook for me. No other men. Understand?"Catherine froze, the spatula in her hand hovering mid-air. She looked at him, puzzled. "What's gotten into yo
