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 Person's POVRichard said mysteriously, "Just wait and see. Someone will expose it.""Isn't it supposed to be made public?" Nick asked curiously."If it were made public, Emerson might just be so angry that he'd die," Richard glanced in the direction of Emerson.Nick nodded in agreement. "His condition does seem really serious. Dad, are you starting to care about Emerson?""I just don't want him to collapse so soon," a complex expression flickered across Richard's face.Nick let out a cold laugh. "I thought your hatred for him had already faded.""He gave me life, but at the same time, he subjected me to countless blows and torments. I don't even know whether to hate him or respect him," Richard snorted coldly.At that moment, the sound of flattery from the crowd outside the main door could be heard. Nick looked over and saw Blake and Catherine walking in, receiving everyone's congratulations.Since it was an engag
Third Person's POVThe morning sun shone brightly. After a month of continuous winter snow, the city finally welcomed such a sunny day.On this day, the entire city was buzzing with excitement over the Royal Pack's joyous occasion—Blake and Catherine's long-awaited engagement was finally coming to fruition.The news had the city abuzz with anticipation, as everyone eagerly awaited photos or videos from the engagement party, curious to see just how luxurious and dazzling a high-society event could be.In reality, Blake had prepared for the engagement party somewhat hastily. In his eyes, many aspects were far from perfect, but he had done his utmost to make everything as good as it could be.Emerson was particularly delighted and felt a deep sense of relief, knowing that he would witness his grandson's engagement in his lifetime, leaving him with no regrets.Abigail attended Catherine's engagement party, but Halsey was unable to make it
Third Person's POVBlake, too, wished they could keep kissing forever. But he was also worried that he might make it hard for her to breathe.Catherine's pretty face flushed with pink. Blake reluctantly let her go."I'm going to take a shower. Wait for me!" Blake had a knack for easily unsettling her. Just that one word, "wait for me," seemed to encompass all the sweet nothings.Catherine's heart fluttered slightly as she watched his figure disappear into the bathroom. She suddenly felt the bedroom was empty and didn't know what to do next.At that moment, her phone rang, signaling a new message.Catherine walked over and saw that the message was from Harley. She was taken aback for a moment but still picked up her phone to check it."Catherine, congratulations!" The message was simple, yet it was filled with his affection for her.Catherine understood the weight behind those few words and sighed softly.She remembered H
Third Person's POV"Mirabel, I have to ask, these two men, you didn't hire them, did you?" the assistant asked nervously.Mirabel's face froze for a second, and she turned her head to glare at the assistant fiercely. "Don't talk nonsense. This has nothing to do with me!"The assistant shrank back, quickly forcing a smile. "Good, I'm glad it's not related. Mirabel, I wonder who Sunny offended this time. It seems like there are quite a few people who want to get back at her."Mirabel narrowed her eyes, clenching her fists in anger. She thought to herself that since Sunny had escaped this time, she wouldn't be so lucky next time.In fact, these two thugs were indeed hired by Mirabel.She had originally planned to grab Sunny, humiliate her thoroughly, and make her feel unclean, so she would be too ashamed to pursue Leo anymore.But now, things had gone beyond her expectations.Sunny had good fighting skills and had fought against t
Third Person's POVA hint of embarrassment flickered across Sunny's face. Although she had courage and fighting skills, these didn't seem like things worth boasting about in front of the man she liked.What if Leo didn't like such a strong woman? Would he be put off by her?"Rest assured, I only fight bad guys. I would never raise a fist to you," Sunny said with a forced laugh.Leo, however, chuckled softly. "If one day I really become too much of a jerk, you'd have every right to teach me a lesson. I wouldn't have a word to say."Sunny just shook her head and remained silent. Of course, she could never bring herself to hit the man she liked."From this video, we can see the faces of those men. Don't worry, I will definitely catch these two jerks and get revenge for you," Leo said in a low voice, his tone firm."I just want to know why they were after me. Did I really offend someone at some point?" Sunny felt a vague sense of unease.
Third Person's POV"Take me to the hospital. I'm in pain." Sunny was at her breaking point, feeling like she was about to pass out from the agony.Without a word, Leo scooped her up into his arms and hurried towards the door."Close the door. I still have a lot of stuff inside." Sunny gritted her teeth and said.Leo, however, ignored her. "What's more important than your life?"Sunny could only watch helplessly as her front door remained wide open and the elevator doors swiftly closed.Leo held her tighter, noticing the cold sweat streaming down her forehead like a small river. It was then that he realized the extent of her suffering."Who did this? Who stabbed you?" Leo finally had a moment to ask her in a calm but forceful tone.Sunny shook her head. "I don't know. I don't recognize those people."Hearing her words, Leo's face turned ashen, nearly driving him to the brink of madness. She had been attacked by strangers.
Third Person's POVSunny returned home and, after a while of overthinking, decided to go out and buy something to eat.The news of her breakup with Leo had already faded a few days ago. Now, the engagement of Blake and Catherine had taken over the entire internet. The buzz around her had significantly diminished.Sunny put on a mask, went out without makeup, and wore a white woolen coat.She walked along the avenue outside her block, remembering a delicious cupcake shop she had visited before. She hadn't been there in a long time and was craving their food. Maybe her mood had improved, because she felt lighter on her feet, not as burdened as before.After all, Leo had proposed to her, and she was the one who had turned him down.Thinking of this, Sunny let out a quiet breath and felt a fleeting sense of triumph.But such thoughts were short-lived. In the world of love, there are no real winners. As long as one doesn't lose too badly,
Eda's POV"Eda, if only I had met you earlier, I would have always been by your side." Benjamin walked over to me, gently wrapped his arms around me. He held me tightly.I'm a very strong woman. I've hardly ever cried from childhood to now.But at this moment, for some reason, I felt like I needed protection. My heart was as fragile as glass, craving comfort."Yeah, why didn't you show up sooner?" I murmured with a smile, though my voice was a little choked up.Benjamin held me. His tenderness enveloped my heart.The things that scared me were indeed terrifying, but right now, his embrace made me feel safe.He said softly, "Eda, if you're scared, let's not do anything. If you don't want to get married, we'll just keep dating; if you don't want to have kids, we won't have any. I don't want you to face those things that scare you anymore."After hearing his words, I gently pushed him away, blinked my eyes, and asked in disbelief,
Eda's POVI stared at the beautifully designed wedding invitation on my desk. The minimalist yet elegant style exuded a casual and refined vibe.The off-white card was adorned with a light blue ribbon and featured the wedding details of Blake and Catherine in an exquisite font.Blake and Catherine were getting engaged. From the bottom of my heart, I was genuinely happy for them and sent my heartfelt congratulations.They had the courage to step into marriage and continue their sweet love story, which was truly enviable. But at least, I couldn't do it myself.I reached out and touched my still-flat stomach. Besides the occasional waves of nausea, I hardly felt any different. My body seemed to be functioning as usual."Ugh, this is so annoying!" I propped my head up with my hand and fiddled with my bangs, too agitated to focus on work.I felt like I was going through the worst phase of my life."Turns out, enjoying happiness come
