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 youCatherine'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
Catherine's POV The next day was the launch organized by the Chavez Group. It was a big event for showbiz. As the person in charge of the launch, I came to the venue early in the morning. Right now, in the main venue, the lights were bright, and there were countless celebrities. The reporters stood in a long line, and the line extended tens of meters from the entrance of the hall to the outside. The flashing lights kept exploding. One star after another walked across the red carpet toward the main venue. In front of the signature wall, the female stars competed with each other, showing their styles, which caused the reporters to be so excited. They kept pressing the shutters of their cameras. "Gina is here!" "Is it true that she is going to sing a love song with Leo this time? If so, it'll be something to behold." I heard the discussion and felt that it was what Gina wanted. Shortly after, Gina appeared on the red carpe
Catherine's POV "Catherine, stop standing there. Go out and see Hedwig and Noah," Melinda said. "Not now. I still have work to do." I didn't know how to face Blake. I chose to avoid him. "I'll help you with the rest. Catherine, get out of here. Go!" Melinda pushed me, and I went outside the curtains. Melinda smiled and said, "Catherine, they're so cute. They look like a princess and a prince." I looked at the man sitting in the front row stiffly. His temperament was extremely noble. He held Hedwig in his arms. Hedwig was dressed very beautifully by him. She was just like a princess. Noah sat beside Blake. Noah was still a kid, but he was intimidating enough. He was wearing a plaid suit with a golden vest underneath, and he had Blake's hair cut. I was so nervous that my palms were sweating. Shall I go over to them? Just as I was feeling uneasy, I suddenly heard a sweet and happy voice, shouting, "Mommy... Mommy, you're
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
