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 HeBlake'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.
Catherine's POV After I finished breakfast, I planned to ask Gina about the origin of the necklace. I had a big fight with Gina at the launch yesterday. However, we had made a deal. Therefore, I should still fulfill it. I called Gina on the way, and she picked up. "What is it?" Gina played innocent. "What do you think? Don't you think you owe me an explanation about my necklace?" I hated her pretentious tone. We had reached an agreement. Was she going to act shamelessly now? "Come to me, and I'll tell you." Gina said. I drove to the five-star hotel Gina mentioned. After parking the car, I quickly ran to the elevator in the hall. I was very anxious, since I wanted to know the truth badly. When I came to the luxurious private room on the top floor, I saw that the door was not locked. So, I reached out and pushed the door open. After walking in, I heard someone close the door behind me. I reacted and pounced instinctively to unlo
Catherine's POV I pulled Harley hard by the arm. However, he was 1.85 meters tall, and there was no way I could pull him up whatsoever. So, I went to the bathroom, found a bucket full of water, and was about to pour on him. Harley shuddered as another bucket of water poured over his head. I explained with embarrassment, "Sorry, Harley. I can only help you in this way." Harley painfully stood up while holding the wall. Step by step, he walked into the bathroom, entered the bathtub, and sat down. I was upset seeing him. I leaned against the door and looked at Harley, who sat in the bathtub with his eyes closed. I asked him with concern, "Are you feeling better?" "Much better." He did not open his eyes. His voice was full of sadness and despair, "Don't worry. I won't harm you." "My boss invited you to the new product launch this time. You turned it down." I said in a low voice. "Yes. I don't want to rely on you." When he
Catherine's POV I returned to the company in a daze. Everyone in the company saw me differently, because yesterday's launch was very successful. So, almost everyone was discussing me. I forced a smile and greeted my colleagues walking over to me. Melinda called me into the office. She looked at me with a face full of joy and said, "Cathy, what's wrong? What's bothering you?" I showed the address to Melinda and said, "I just found out where my parents used to live. Unfortunately, it's been demolished and turned into a man-made lake." Hearing that, she comforted me and said, "Cathy, don't worry. I'm sure you will find your parents!" "Maybe. It's just that I have to wait. It's excruciating," I smiled bitterly. "Cathy, yesterday's launch was a huge success. You have no idea how many people in the company are envious of you," Melinda said with a smile. I pulled a wry face. However, I figured that being envied by others was a good
Blake's POV I saw the tears in Catherine's eyes, and I regained some of my senses. I said, "I care about all the things about you." "If you do, you should hear me out, instead of only caring about whether something happened between me and Harley." Tears flowed from Catherine's eyes. I was very upset. My wolf was restless. The next second, I sat on the sofa next to us. I frowned and didn't speak. Catherine's voice was sad. She said, "You don't want to hear my explanation? Then I might as well shut up." She turned around and was about to leave. I called out to stop her. "I want to hear it!" I said, looking at the tears on her face. She bit her lip. "I don't want to say anything anymore." "You have to." I held her wrist. "I admit I was rude. But you know it, right? I was only rude, because I cared about you. I'm crazy about you." She bit her lip and turned her face away. My fingers gently touched her tender cheek a
Blake's POV "Blake, thank you for believing me. To be honest, you scared me just now. I thought you wouldn't trust me easily." Catherine was very grateful. I said self-mockingly, "I was indeed very angry at first. I even felt like I was about to lose you. But I know you. Nothing happened between you and Harley, because you couldn't stand being touched by men. Am I right?" Catherine nodded. "Blake, after this is over, I will take the initiative to do it with you. I hope you can mark me then." I didn't expect to hear the words "take the initiative" coming from her mouth. I gently held her in my arms and kissed her on the forehead. "Don't worry. I won't force you. But I do hope that we can be together soon!" Catherine put her arms around my waist. "Let's get married when I find my parents!" Her proposal surprised me. I said with joy, "Really? Are you willing to marry me?" "Yes, I am. After I find my parents, we can get ready to
