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
