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 letCatherine'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
Catherine's POV I noticed that Emily, who was next to me, had a look of resentment on her face after what Patricia had said. I shook hands with the elders of the royal pack and greeted them one by one with Patricia's introduction. "Madam Chavez, your future granddaughter-in-law is so beautiful." "Yeah, and she looks young as well. I heard that she already has two kids. How nice!" Patricia could not help smiling when her two lovely great-grandchildren were mentioned. They were the best gift she could ever dream of. "That's right. Noah and Hedwig are lovely. They are simply adorable! I will bring them over someday!" Patricia said proudly. "We saw them last time. Their pretty faces are so cute!" I stood beside them and listened as Patricia chatted with them about the kids. As their mother, they're perfect in my eyes. Others, however, may not share the same feelings. And I was embarrassed by the compliment. Emily st
Catherine's POV "There must be some misunderstanding. She is just a rookie in the Design Department. When did she become a big shot?" Emily said indignantly. "Emily, who are you to her?" Someone was curious. I knew Emily was trying to embarrass me on purpose. I had to defend myself. Then I said, "I am Catherine!" Everyone was shocked. They were stunned and admired me. "Are you King Blake's girlfriend?" "Do you just know it now? She already has two children with King Blake. Why do you think her designs are so expensive? It's because of her identity!" explained the girl who recognized me at once. It never occurred to me to use the Lycan Luna identity for bragging rights. Emily sneered at the girl's words, "Are you saying that she is the Lycan Luna? That would be premature to say. They are not married yet. They aren't even engaged. They have two kids. That's all." Emily was such a pain in the ass today. I felt the u
Third person's POV "Ms. Wyatt, did you know? I'm engaged. I'm getting married at the end of the month!" Roxanne's voice turned sad. Catherine was dumbfounded. For a moment, she did not know how to comfort Roxanne. "You must find it very funny, right? The marriage is between two families, and he is my childhood sweetheart. I do not hate him, but I have no affection for him. He has always been kind to me. I agreed to marry him for my folks' sake. I've always loved Leo, so I wanted to meet him. I tried many ways, and in the end, you made my dream come true. Although I said many things I should not have said, I felt much better. I hope you'll come to my wedding!" Roxanne tried to pull herself together and look less sad. It suddenly seemed to Catherine that Roxanne, though she seemed a spoiled girl, was a good daughter. She acted out of place with Leo, but she had her reasons. "Sure. I will be there with my best wishes to you," Catherine said.
Third person's POV At first glance, Emily was not interested in continuing the conversation. But Patricia was standing next to them, and she seemed pleased with the man. Emily forced a smile with ladylike manners, "Nice to meet you. You're flattering me!" "Alright. I'll leave you two alone!" Patricia said and left. The smile on Emily's face turned a bit stiff after Patricia left. Yet the man was interested in Emily. He passed a glass of wine to Emily and started chatting with her. Emily was resentful. In her eyes, the man before her was so average in appearance and height. He was not even worthy of being Blake's servant. She suddenly felt upset. Was this the kind of man Patricia thought she deserved? The more Emily thought about it, the sadder she felt. Patricia was so prejudiced, she thought. All was quiet in the car as they drove toward the city's bustling downtown. Catherine threw herself into Blake's arms. B
Third person's POV "Patricia, do I look pretty or not? Come on! Tell me." Hedwig pouted as if she would cry immediately if Patricia said otherwise. Patricia propped herself up on the bed beside her. She held her waist with one hand and continued to laugh. "Hedwig, who taught you this?" Hedwig said confidently, "Kids on TV do what their mommies do. Don't I look pretty?" Patricia walked quickly over and crouched down. Then she carefully removed, one by one, the diamond necklaces that Hedwig wore around her neck. Patricia said, "It seems that your daddy sure did buy a lot of jewelry for your mommy. They've just started dating and he's already bought her so much jewelry! Why are you wearing all of them on your neck?" "I like shiny things. They are so beautiful. When I grow up, I want daddy to buy me necklaces too. I want many!" Hedwig said loudly. Patricia nodded and said, "OK! Sure! When you are old enough to wear them, you can ask your daddy
