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 carpeCatherine'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.
Blake's POV "Blake, I will test the character of the kids' mother myself. By the way, what is her background? Tell me," continued Patricia. I had no choice but to answer, "She is the adopted daughter of the Alpha of Blake Moon Pack. She does not know who her biological parents are." "What?" Patricia's expression froze. I lowered my gaze. My heart was filled with sorrow for the past. Patricia was silent for a long time and suddenly said, "Your mother is also someone's adopted daughter. When your father told us that she was his mate, I hoped he could refuse her, but your father insisted on choosing her. But then..." "Patricia, she is different from Abigail. I trust her a hundred percent. Unlike my mother, she would never act selfish," I said confidently. The motorcade drove up the mountain. I planned to arrange for my grandparents to live in a villa on the mountains. "I want to go down and see my grandkids now," said Patricia.
Catherine's POV When I woke up in the morning, Hedwig was kissing my face. "Mommy, mommy, haven't you woken up yet? The alarm is ringing!" Of course, I didn't have enough sleep. I reached out and pushed Hedwig's face gently. "Let me sleep for another five minutes..." "Mommy, you're so lazy! Fine, I'll let you sleep for another five minutes. I'll start counting now!" Hedwig kissed my face with her cute mouth and began to count, "One... Two... Three... Four..." "Hedwig, you're so noisy!" She was driving me crazy. I said I wanted to sleep for a few more minutes, and she started to countdown in my ear. How could I sleep at all? Hedwig chuckled. "Mommy, you're distracting me. I forgot how many seconds I've counted!" Hedwig was completely unaware of how annoying she was right now. "Stop counting. I give up. I'll get up now!" I looked at Hedwig as she was giggling. Although I wanted to jokingly spank her, I couldn't, since she was so cute.
