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 hateCatherine'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
Catherine's POV "It's my best work. This is Leo performing on stage. Many people are listening to you singing. You sing so well!" Finally, this Leo was a star. "Really? You haven't heard me sing yet, have you? My singing is awesome. I'll show you next time!" Leo smirked. "This is Leo climbing the mountain and is accidentally blown away by the wind. "This is Leo eating. Well... I don't know how to draw steak, so I drew some circles. Leo, what do you like to eat?" Leo looked desperate. When Hedwig finished introducing her drawings, Leo turned to Noah and said, "Noah, you didn't prepare so many surprises for me, did you?" Noah said proudly, "I'm not like stupid Hedwig! Leo, this is the car model I made for you. These two doors can even be opened!" "Thank you, Noah. I like it very much." Leo was moved. "Leo, what about mine?" Hedwig instantly raised her face, her crystal-like eyes filled with anticipation. "I like b
Catherine's POV I quickly hugged Hedwig and kissed her cheek. "Don't you have daddy with you?" "Daddy is not enough. I want both of you!" Hedwig said greedily. Noah snorted, "Stupid Hedwig. When can you learn to be independent? I've seen you eat every day, but I haven't seen you grow up." I couldn't help but chuckle as I saw Noah tease Hedwig again. Hedwig glared at Noah. "I miss mommy. What's wrong with that?" I turned to Noah and said, "Enough. Stop talking to Hedwig like that. Hedwig was sick the other day, and I wasn't there for her. I'm so sorry." Noah instantly grinned. "Mommy, you have no idea. When the doctor was treating Hedwig, she kept screaming, 'Daddy, it hurts!' She screamed so loudly!" I looked at Hedwig's face, which was still a bit pale, and my heart ached. "Mommy!" Hedwig immediately leaned into my arms. "Mommy, when you are done with your work, you have to accompany me more, OK?" I nodded. "Do
Catherine's POV I spent some time with the two kids for a while. Then I put Hedwig to sleep and went to take a bath. When I got out of the shower, I heard the sound of a car in the garden, and I knew it was Blake. I put on my pajamas and left the room to look for him. The moment I went to the balcony, I saw him standing there alone. With a cigarette in his hand, he seemed worried. I looked at the cigarette in his hand and asked, "Why are you still smoking this late at night? Is something bothering you?" There was a smile in his voice. "Do you care about me?" I was a little helpless. I said, "Yes. What happened to you?" "Nothing. I was just thinking about work." As he spoke, he pressed the cigarette against an ashtray aside. Since it was about work, my hands were tied, though I wanted to help him. "It's late. Go to bed!" I didn't know what else to say. "Cathy!" Blake suddenly stopped me. "Yeah?" I stopped
Catherine's POV After Emily left, I felt so upset that I suddenly didn't want to do anything. "Catherine, you're here! I've been looking for you everywhere. A lot of things are pending your supervision. Hurry!" When Melinda's assistant saw me, she was greatly relieved. I pulled myself together. I shouldn't waste my time thinking about Blake. I had to do my job. It was all I had. I had the urge to call Blake and confront him. But I didn't want to lose my self-esteem like this. I did not dare to question him, but I could avoid him. Yet I was obviously absent-minded for the following work. Melinda came over and asked me, "Cathy, what's wrong? You don't look well. Are you sick?" I quickly cheered myself up and said, "No. I'm just a little tired." "Why don't you go to the lounge next door and get some rest? I'll help you keep an eye on here." Melinda said with concern. I looked at Melinda with gratitude and said, "Tha
