Catherine's POV
I agreed. Melinda's words made sense. As arranged by my assistant, I had to meet three female stars today. One of them was Leo's new star. I heard that she came from a rich family. She was dressed very beautifully and had the pompous temperament of a rich family's daughter. Everything she used was from famous brands, and the total price was over a million dollars. I sized her up and figured that the car she drove was definitely expensive as well. A woman walking with a net worth of tens of millions of dollars should be able to afford such an expensive design fee. "Ms. Wyatt, I'm Sandra Newman!" The woman immediately smiled and introduced herself the minute she came in. She did not put on airs as some stars would do. "Hello, Ms. Newman. I heard that you want me to design something for you?" I quickly smiled and asked. Sandra smiled and said, "Yes. I heard that your design is very unique and stylish, so, I want to askCatherine's POV "Ms. Carroll, what makes you think I can help you?" I was a little helpless. "Of course, you can. You will become Mrs. Chavez soon. And Leo brought all his stars to the launch this time to support you. It means that he thinks of you as family. Does he dare to disobey you?" Roxanne immediately explained confidently. Well, she thought the whole thing through. I found it hard to turn her down bluntly. Since I could tell that she was very serious about this. "Ms. Carroll, Blake and I aren't married yet, so I'm not Leo's family for now. I may not be able to help you. I'm sorry." I politely declined. "Ms. Wyatt, you are too modest. You can just tell me that you don't want to help me. In fact, I know I'm pushing my luck. It's just that I like him so much. I have the feeling. He is the one! Of course, I know. I fell in one-sided love with him. And he is way out of my league. Why would he like me? After all, he is surrounded by so m
Catherine's POV I nodded. "Alright. Since you can handle so many styles, I'll think about it! But out of curiosity, of all the designers, why did you find me?" "I think you might be the inspiration for my next song. I want to get to know you!" Alina suddenly stared at me without blinking. What she said surprised me greatly. I blinked my eyes sheepishly. "I'm your inspiration? How so? You probably haven't seen me before!" "I've seen you before, but you probably don't remember me. After all, it was so many years ago." Alina's tone suddenly changed. I was even more shocked. I tried my best to recall her name, but nothing came up at all. "Sorry. It didn't ring a bell," I smiled and shook my head. "Catherine, I've been paying close attention to your launch a long time ago. I always thought it could not be you, but when I saw your work photo in your company, I was sure that it was you. I didn't expect you to be so successful in you
Catherine's POV Upon hearing Dr. Cooper's words, I tensed up. Yet I still nodded. "Sure. Go ahead." "Have you ever thought about that night in the last five years?" "No. I avoided it. I didn't want to think about it at all." "Then take a moment to think about what happened five years ago that caused you to break down." I closed my eyes and clenched my fists. For the first time, I was willing to face that night when everything went wrong. Suddenly, some images flashed through my mind. "I remember something!" My entire body trembled. Indeed, I recalled something. I just didn't want to dig into it. "What is it?" Dr. Cooper asked gently. "Tell me. Let me know what you are thinking." "I woke up once that night, because I was so painful. When I opened my eyes, I thought I heard Blake calling out a name, a woman's name." I suddenly sat up and covered my face. The pain deep down had nowhere to hide. "Do you remem
Catherine's POV "Blake, why don't you listen to me? I told you to leave me alone! Can you just go?" I was miserable. I just recalled what happened that night, and I didn't want to face Blake now. Why couldn't he just leave me alone? Couldn't I have an afternoon to pull myself together? "Cathy, I'm worried about leaving you here." Despite my objection, Blake still stubbornly approached me. I continued to take a few steps back. Just as I decided to leave with Blake, suddenly, my high heels were tripped by something. I lost my balance and fell back. I didn't see it coming. After letting out a miserable scream, I felt a figure rushing over. Within seconds, the two of us fell into the river. Blake could swim, but the river was fast-flowing. I didn't know how to paddle at all. Blake lifted me out of the water the second he fell. I let out a series of coughs, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Two pack guards help
Catherine's POV Blake nodded and said, "Alright. I'll tell you about my past." As he spoke, I reached out and took his arm, and I drew nearer. Blake said, "Emily was adopted by my uncle from the werewolf orphanage. My uncle and his mate never had any children. Later, the pack witch told him to adopt an orphan. To their surprise, they did have a baby the following year. To be honest, I still find it unbelievable." I blinked. "Is she so amazing? Which pack does she belong to? Should we go meet her too?" Blake immediately said, "There's no need. She once said that I would be a werewolf without a mate." I laughed. "Then, you don't believe her?" "No, I don't!" Blake said. "Fine. I won't go!" As he opposed it, I gave it up. Then I said, "Continue!" Blake continued, "Emily has been very considerate since she was young. She was a good girl, and always watched her step. My uncle and aunt were very kind to her, and my grandparen
Third person's POV Leo sat in his office chair, staring out of the window. Just now the senior managers of his company came over for a meeting. They talked about the latest urban romance the company was about to shoot, and suggested that the costumes for all the female leads should be designed by the now-famous Catherine. Leo's expression immediately became complicated when he heard Catherine's name. They kept persuading him to call Catherine and ask if she could take the job. Leo was becoming less and less concerned about work, daydreaming, and sleeping all day long. It was an opportunity, tempting Leo to call Catherine. Catherine was Leo's family. Why did he need to find a reason to call her? Why was he so timid about it? Leo was puzzled. He couldn't get the dream of the night before out of his head. In his dream, he went to attend Blake and Catherine's wedding. All of a sudden, he was the groom, which shocked him. I
Catherine's POV Around four in the afternoon, I heard the kids' footsteps outside in the hallway. I had finished two pieces of work, and when I heard their voices, I was no longer in the mood for work. I opened the bedroom door and the kids were a bit stunned when they saw me. "Mommy." Hedwig blinked her big eyes. Then she said, "You're home?" Noah immediately came over and asked with concern, "Mommy, are you sick again?" I walked quickly over, crouched down, and pressed my forehead against Noah's. "See? I'm fine!" Then, Hedwig asked curiously, "Mommy, were you fired?" Noah rolled his eyes at Hedwig. "Daddy dares not to fire mommy. Otherwise, we will fire him!" I grinned. "Noah, you are my little hero. No one dares to bully me because I have a good son like you. I'm counting on you, got it?" Noah immediately reached out and touched my head. He acted like a grownup and said in a serious tone, "Mommy, I won't let
Catherine's POV "If mommy has another baby, then I'll become its older sister, right?" Hedwig asked seriously. "Yes, you'll have a little brother or sister. How's that?" asked Patricia with a smile. "No! I don't want that. I want to be the younger sister. So, Noah will always indulge me!" Hedwig said in a childish tone. Patricia and Emerson were somewhat stunned, while Blake and I smiled. "Hedwig, you'll learn more things if you have a younger brother or sister." "Really?" Hedwig blinked her big eyes. "You'll learn to share and to take care of others, and..." "Patricia, I don't want to share. I already have to share mommy and daddy's love with Noah. And daddy promised me that he wouldn't have other children!" Hedwig somehow dragged Blake into the conversation. Patricia's eyes suddenly turned stern. She stared at Blake and asked, "When did you promise Hedwig such a thing?" Blake forced a smile. "I said so when I
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
