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.
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
Catherine's POV "I can promise you anything. Please don't take me to the police. I promise! I will never interfere in your affairs again. Catherine, I am begging you. I was really wrong." Gina was shaking with fear. I looked at her and felt that she was nothing but a pathetic joke. "Why did you do all this when you knew you would end up like this?" "I didn't know that I would be caught by you so quickly. I always thought that I was very capable, but now I finally learn my lesson after these setbacks. Some things are just not for me, and they will never be mine, no matter how much I fight for them!" Gina finally realized. I could tell that Gina was regretful, but I still did not want to forgive her. Because it didn't feel right to me that a person could always be this lucky to be forgiven. "I'll go back to the company now. You can help me put an end to it." I turned to look at Blake and said in a low voice to him. "OK." Blake nodded.
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
