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 stoppedCatherine'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
Catherine's POV "Am I supposed to believe what you say? How do I know it's true?" My voice trembled, and it was no longer as imposing as it had been before. Ever since I met Emily, I felt that I had been thrown into a deep vortex. I had lost my reason, and my mind was completely blank. I had never thought of doubting Emily. Perhaps her tone was so positive that one had to believe her. But right now, Blake's tone was even more certain and convincing than Emily's. "How do I prove it? How about this?" As Blake spoke, he suddenly kissed me. His kiss was passionate, ruthless, and somehow punitive. He kissed my lips hard. I couldn't even make a sound, let alone talk back to him. After Blake let go of me, he stared at me and said, "Cathy, don't you ever believe in others' words readily again!" Then he got out of the car. I sat dumbstruck in the car, unable to recover for a long time. He dared to threaten me?! I was stu
Catherine's POV Meanwhile, Leo ran in and said angrily, "Jessica, what the hell? You fell on stage! Did you fall on purpose?" I stood up and explained, "Of course, she didn't. Stop blaming her." "Then why? You didn't have breakfast, and your legs went weak?" asked Leo, frowning. "Leo, don't yell at her. She did her best. Leave her alone for a while." I quickly pushed Leo away. But Jessica stood up suddenly. She pointed to Leo and shouted, "It's all you. Why do you have to drag me into every hype? You are my boss, that's true, but can you find a woman you like to hype up? Stop using me as your rumored girlfriend every time. Do you know why I still can't find a boyfriend? It's because of you." Leo pulled a long face. "Jessica, do you remember who you are talking to?" They quarreled. Seeing that, I quickly said, "Enough. Leo, stop arguing with her. She's very upset already. Just leave for now, OK?" "I know you're my boss.
Catherine's POV Blake was sitting and chatting with his friends. I walked over to greet Benjamin and Howard. Then I shook hands with Eda with a smile. Just then, I noticed that Cedrick's gaze had been drifting in another direction, so I followed his gaze. Then I smiled and asked, "Mr. Lawrence, do you know Jessica?" Cedrick nodded. "She worked with my company before. I'll go and say hello to her." When I heard that he was going to take the initiative to go over, I was instantly overjoyed. "I see!" Cedrick brought a glass of wine and walked over to Jessica. Cedrick said something to Jessica, and she stood up excitedly. Then Cedrick returned to us. Although I was curious, I held back my curiosity and did not ask. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Cedrick's assistant talking to Jessica, and then Jessica picked up her purse and left the venue. Cedrick suddenly stood up and said, "I have something to de
Catherine's POV Hearing what Blake said, I immediately felt that he was right, and I might have been a little too hasty. I shouldn't have gotten angry. "OK. Then go ahead and drive." I stopped struggling and sat back in my seat. I wanted to know how he would confront Emily. Blake nodded and started the car. After the car arrived at the headquarters, Blake held my hand and stepped into the hall. I awkwardly followed by his side, lowering my eyes and not looking at the countless surprised gazes. Although I was getting more and more accustomed to being held by him and being looked at, his feelings for me still made me panic and at a loss. The elevator reached the floor. We passed through the bright, long corridor and arrived at Blake's private lounge. As soon as Blake and I came in, Henry hurried over to report, "King Blake, Emily is downstairs. She said you asked her to come over." Blake glanced at my face and said to He
Blake's POV As I watched Catherine leave, I knew that she must be angry. But I was still very happy, because she just said that she wouldn't let the kids lose their father. Did it mean that she had already accepted me? "What kids? Blake, what is she talking about? Do you have kids?" Catherine's words made Emily panic. Emily looked at Catherine with fluster and asked. I said coldly, "Emily, when will you learn to respect me? Don't think about being my mate anymore. My kids won't agree with it. Also, I've long put the past behind me. I can still treat you as my family from now on. I can guarantee you that you will be set up for life. Now go." Emily staggered, turned around, and walked out weakly. I returned to the lakeside villa in advance after work. As soon as I entered the parlor, I saw that Hedwig began to cough. "Daddy, I think that I have caught a cold!" Hedwig coughed a few times and looked at me with a bit of fear.
Third Person's POV"What's going on here? I just heard him mention a breakup. He wouldn't be breaking up with Sunny, would he?" Patricia was so agitated because she had caught those words.Catherine, of course, also pondered over what Leo had said, and then replied, "Grandma, it seems he announced a breakup with Miss Garcia in front of the reporters.""What's this all about? They were getting along just fine, and now suddenly a breakup? Did he initiate it?"Patricia was truly a worrier at heart. She had finally seen her grandsons with girlfriends, on the verge of settling down, but now they were talking about breaking up."Grandma, don't get so worked up. Why don't you give him a call and find out what's really going on?" Catherine comforted Patricia.In reality, she too felt a growing unease.She sensed that this matter might be far more serious than she had imagined.Patricia picked up her phone and dialed Leo's number, inten
Third Person's POV"What on earth is going on? I was telling everyone that Leo was going to be my son-in-law, and now look, everyone's calling to mock me, to make a fool of me. You unambitious girl, you've disgraced me!"Moira clearly couldn't accept this reality and the blow it dealt her, venting all her resentment on Sunny.Sunny let Moira scold her without a word of retort.Only after Moira had finished did she say, "Mom, I'm tired. I'm going to hang up now."After ending the call, Sunny closed her eyes, lay back on the bed, and felt utterly drained.She knew the days of being ridiculed were far from over, and she could only resign herself to accept it all.The news of Leo and Sunny's breakup indeed caused quite a stir. Some gloated, those who watched indifferently, and those who were secretly delighted and mocking.Among them, the most elated was undoubtedly Mirabel Field, who had always taken a dislike to Sunny.She
Third Person's POV"Fine, let's break up then." Leo snorted coldly, his tone devoid of any reluctance, "I'll have someone pack up your things and send them back to you.""Leo, I'm really sorry. Thank you for not despising me in the past...""Don't say such insincere words. If I liked you, I would naturally treat you with utmost kindness. But you didn't cherish it. You betrayed my trust, and this is all on you," Leo cut her off abruptly, then stormed out of the hospital room, slamming the door behind him.Sunny felt as if she had been struck by lightning, standing there motionless for a long time, like a frozen statue.A gust of cold air came through the window, jolting her awake. It felt like she had been in a beautiful dream, but the man who had been good to her was now gone.In the world of werewolves, the departure of a mate is a tremendous blow to the other party.Sunny felt her world collapse in an instant, as if she had lost the
Third Person's POVLeo sat on the sofa directly opposite the hospital bed, his hands constantly flipping a mobile phone.The thought of how tightly this woman had concealed things from him made his heart feel stifled.He began to doubt how genuine her feelings for him were.Perhaps her intentions for getting close to him were becoming increasingly clear—was she trying to atone for her despicable Olivia?On what grounds did she beg for his forgiveness? Shouldn't mistakes be punished?"Mmm..." Sunny, on the hospital bed, let out a faint moan, seemingly due to discomfort.Then, her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing the white ceiling and the IV drip hanging nearby.'Was this a hospital?'Sunny suddenly sat up, only to meet a pair of dark eyes, their depths flickering with cold light as if carrying a Siberian chill, causing her to gasp in fright."Did you bring me to the hospital? Thanks." Sunny vaguel
Third Person's POVAt that moment, a middle-aged woman emerged from inside, her face turning pale with fright at the sight of a group of people intruding on her farm."Sir, why have you broken into my farm? Is there something you need?" This woman was Teresa, who feigned surprise as she stepped forward to inquire."Bring Olivia out!" Leo said with a stern expression."Olivia? She's not here!" Teresa immediately shook her head in response."Do you really think we'll believe that?" Leo suddenly turned around, grabbing Sunny who was walking last, and said with a gloomy face, "Didn't she come here looking for Olivia? Stop wasting time and bring her out."Sunny's face had already turned pale, devoid of any color, and her body was on the verge of collapsing.Teresa looked at Sunny, her face clearly showing a look of reproach, "Sunny, how could you do this? Do you have any idea...""Teresa, I..."Sunny tried to explain, but fou
Third Person's POV"Now?" Sunny's head buzzed, wishing she could just faint on the spot.She knew that once they went, the hidden secrets would likely be exposed. Faced with Leo's insistent attitude, she didn't know how to refuse, her heart filled with panic and helplessness.Sunny reached for her phone, but suddenly, a hand as strong as a vise clamped down on her slender wrist, gripping it tightly.Leo's voice was as cold as a winter wind, "That's right, now. You lead the way."Sunny considered pretending not to know anyone named Teresa, but her mother had already revealed everything.There was no room to feign ignorance.She forced a laugh, suppressing her inner turmoil, "I'm feeling a bit dizzy now, could we...?""No, Sunny. I want you to lead the way right now." Leo's voice grew even colder, the threat in his tone leaving no room for doubt."Alright," Sunny sighed, reluctantly agreeing.Her heart pounded, and
Third Person's POVSunny couldn't fathom his thoughts and let it go. They drove to the company.The employees at the company regarded Sunny as the future boss lady.Previously, they might have ignored her, but now, everyone was vying to get close to her and become familiar.Changes in status and identity often lead to starkly different attitudes from others. As an important person by Leo's side, Sunny naturally received special treatment and was treated differently by everyone. Everyone wanted to maintain a good relationship with her in the future to gain some benefits or avoid unnecessary trouble.Sunny knew that all of this was the special treatment Leo had given her, so she didn't dare to be too complacent.In reality, Sunny had also made quite a few enemies at the company. Female artists who had admired Leo before were now cursing her behind her back.These women, driven by unrequited love, resorted to various underhanded tactics
Third Person's POV"Pregnant?" Sunny's mind buzzed, going blank for a moment, then she hurriedly said, "That should be quite unlikely. We always took precautions.""I know, but precautions aren't one hundred percent effective. I'm just looking out for you because there are many medications that pregnant women shouldn't take." The doctor patiently explained to her."Oh! Alright then." Sunny's expression stiffened slightly, and then she was forced to recall every moment she was with Leo, thinking of those blush-inducing and heart-racing scenes, her pale cheeks flushed with a rosy hue.Leo sat on the sofa outside the door, and as soon as he saw her come out, he immediately asked, "Did you get the medicine?""The doctor wants me to get a blood test. She's worried I might be pregnant." Sunny let out a bitter smile."What?" Leo's eyes lit up instantly.For werewolves, the conception of new life is a joyous event for the family, and having a
Third Person's POV"Damn it!" Leo's heart lurched at the high-temperature reading, and he cursed under his breath.He rummaged through the first-aid kit but found no spare fever-reducing medicine.With Sunny in her current state, if her fever didn't subside quickly, she could end up delirious.Leo glanced at the time. It was a little after three in the morning. Where could he find an open pharmacy at this hour?Should he take her to the hospital? After a moment's thought, he decided to call his assistant instead.The assistant, groggy from sleep, was jolted awake by the urgent call. He quickly dressed and rushed to the hospital to fetch the medicine.Leo made a silent vow to reward his assistant handsomely for this.At five in the morning, the assistant arrived with the fever-reducing medicine.Leo expressed his gratitude, and the assistant was touched. He hadn't expected his usually aloof boss to become so considerate.With the medicine in hand, Leo brought a glass of warm water and
