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. BThird 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
Catherine's POV "I feel it, Catherine. We are about to see our mate!" Eva confirmed it again. I doubted it. I was on the top floor of the hotel. Even if Eva was right, how would my mate get up here? I didn't think he would climb up! Startled by my thoughts, I hurried off the terrace. I was about to have sex with Blake. What should I do if my mate showed up here? I was upset, thinking about the possibility of breaking up with Blake. Just as I was sad, the bathroom door opened. Blake walked out with a bath towel around his waist. He then walked toward me. "You shouldn't stand here. It's cold outside." Blake said to me when he saw me at the door of the terrace. I came back to my senses and saw that his body was still dripping. The bath towel made his masculine aura stand out in full. My heart beat faster. Then I walked towards him in a daze. "Catherine, this is it. I found our mate!" Eva shouted excitedly in
Catherine's POV I fell asleep just like that. I slept through the night without dreams, and I was woken up by Hedwig the next morning. Today was the weekend. She didn't need to go to school. She rolled up, looked at me, and said, "Mommy, I might have made a big mistake!" Hedwig pointed at the drawer beside the bed in a daze. "I messed up all the jewelry that daddy gave you!" I was stunned for a moment. Then I quickly got up and opened the drawer. I turned serious when I saw the necklaces and bracelets piled up in a mess. "Hedwig, why did you play with my things? You are not supposed to play with them. Do you know that?" They were expensive and delicate. I always put them in the drawer carefully. But Hedwig fiddled with them like they were toys! "I'm sorry, mommy. I won't do that again!" Hedwig quickly raised her hands and apologized softly. I wanted to lecture her more, but she already knew she was wrong. So, I stopped blamin
Catherine's POV Blake smiled and asked, "What is it? Are you too touched to eat it?" "Not at all!" I took a big bite of the bread. It tasted so good, so I took another bite. Blake opened his car door and said, "What are you waiting for?" I quickly turned around and sat in his car. Blake suddenly reached out and gently touched the corner of my mouth. "You ate like a kid." Blake smiled. I felt shy again. I quickly finished the bread in silence. Then he passed me a bottle of water. I was stunned for a moment and saw that Blake had already unscrewed the lid. He looked at me with a smile. "Drink up." "OK!" He was so considerate and took good care of others. He always made me feel warm. He was my mate. I had never loved someone so much. But I'm not used to such sweet feelings. I drank up the water. Suddenly, Blake said in a low voice, "Come to my office later. Let's have lunch together." "Why? " "
Catherine's POV I took a few sips of the hot drink. It tasted good. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Blake came in. He looked at me with a smile on his face and walked toward me. I stood up, and in the next second, he pulled me into his arms. His smell was so familiar, and it made me want to stay in his arms. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment quietly. "You never came to visit me here," Blake complained as if he felt hurt because of this. I couldn't help but laugh out loud and didn't know what to say. "I know you are busy and I don't want to disturb you!" I comforted him. If there was anything that I needed to discuss with him, I could always leave it till night when he got back home. "I don't care. You simply don't care about me that much!" Blake complained. "Of course, I care about you. That's why I married you." Blake took a step back and looked down at me. "You are so independent. I used to think
Catherine's POV After taking a shower, I quickly put on my clothes and combed my long, messy hair in the bathroom. I came out of the lounge and was about to go and say goodbye to Blake. The assistant outside the door did not stop me, because everyone knew who I was. I could push open Blake's door without anyone's permission. I thought Blake was alone in the office, but when I pushed the door, I saw a beautiful woman sitting on the sofa. I was stunned. It was Blake's biological mother, Abigail. Abigail's eyes were red. She had been crying. Abigail was also a little surprised at the sight of me. But soon, her surprise was replaced by delight, because she already knew about me and the kids. Blake looked gloomy, so I stood at the door and didn't know if I should go in. Blake quickly walked over and whispered to me, "You can go back to work now. I will contact you later." I looked into his eyes and grabbed his big ha
Blake's POV I saw Abigail today, and I had mixed feelings. So, I asked Benjamin and Howard to hang out. In the evening, Benjamin and I pushed open the door of a private room and entered. "You're here. Drink with me!" The room was large. Howard sat alone on the sofa and looked at us. As soon as I stepped in, I knew something was wrong. I threw the car keys on the table, looked at Benjamin, and asked in a low voice, "What happened to him?" Benjamin shook his head. "I just arrived. I asked him, but he said nothing and just kept drinking." "It has got to do with women again." I made a guess. Howard suddenly threw the bottle on the table, looked up, and stared at the ceiling with a look of despair. He sadly announced, "I'm single again. I don't have a woman or a daughter. I'm alone again!" Benjamin and I looked at each other. Then we turned to Howard with concern. "Harry, what happened? Tell us, and we'll see how we can hel
Catherine's POV After finishing work at noon, I suddenly thought of the important task Blake gave me. He wanted me to take Rowena to lunch and talk to her. On the way to work today, Blake walked me through Howard and Rowena's current situation briefly. It sounded like the two had been through quite a hard time. I felt bad for them with mixed feelings. Blake wanted me to find out whether Rowena still loved Howard or not. What a tough job! I was not very close with Rowena, yet I still called her and asked her for lunch. To my surprise, Rowena agreed without hesitation. We met at a restaurant. Rowena looked haggard and was in low spirits. It seemed that she didn't rest well. "You didn't go to work today?" I asked curiously. "I quit my job!" Rowena's words surprised me. Blake told me that Rowena worked hard, and she took her current job very seriously. Rowena took a sip of her glass of water. She laughed at h
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
