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 youCatherine'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
Catherine's POV It was Leo. He was wearing sunglasses and a cap, so no one would have recognized him. "Leo!" The moment Leo took off his sunglasses and cap, Roxanne almost pounced on him for a hug. Leo ducked quickly to one side. Roxanne did not get to throw herself into his arms, but she did not mind that at all. Instead, she said excitedly, "Sorry, I was too happy to see you. Leo, I didn't scare you, did I?" My heart skipped a beat when I saw the scene just now. Roxanne might come out a bit strong. I knew Leo was a bit of a neat freak. "It's fine. Please sit down!" Leo said politely after calming down. Roxanne then sat down happily next to Leo without hesitation. Then, like a young girl in the first flush of puberty, she put her hands to her cheeks and stared at Leo without blinking. Leo was a little helpless, and I could see the reluctance flash across his handsome face. I sat aside. To lighten the mood, I qui
Catherine's POV "That's enough, Ms. Carroll. You'll get drunk if you keep drinking!" I said quickly to Roxanne. "I'm fine. I can hold my liquor. I won't get drunk!" Roxanne said with a smile. She was very confident, but I could tell that she was already a little tipsy. I couldn't stop Roxanne, so I walked over and snatched Leo's glass. "Please stop drinking. You should go now?" Leo was also slightly drunk. He smiled and reached for the glass. I tried to stop him by lifting the glass. But Leo pounced upon me. Leo suddenly put his arms around me, and I was stunned. Then he took the glass from my hand. Leo returned to his seat and sat down. "Catherine, I got the glass!" I was startled by his sudden embrace. "Fine. Keep going. Drink as much as you want! I'll watch you drink. I will call your family later and let them pick you up." I didn't bother to stop them anymore. As expected, Roxanne was wasted. She lay
