Catherine's POV
The next morning, I enjoyed my vacation lazily. The kids also wanted to stay at home, but Patricia insisted on sending them to school. After I had breakfast, I received a call from Leo's assistant, asking me to go over at noon today to talk about cooperation. I had nothing else to do anyway. I washed up and drove to Leo's company. Downstairs the company, I saw a male assistant waving at me. "Ms. Wyatt, it's a great honor to have you here." I smiled, "I'm glad to be here." "I mean it. Everyone is saying that you are about to marry Mr. Chavez. I didn't want to disturb you, but my boss urged me to do it. I had no choice but to call you here to sign the contract." I was a little surprised. Why was Leo in such a hurry? However, since it was an internal matter, I didn't ask much. Signing the contract meant I could get a lot of money, which was a good thing. The assistant and I discussed the details of the conCatherine's POV After a long time, I finally said, "Since when did you have feelings for me? We don't see much of each other." Leo turned around and said, "That day, when I went to your company to look for you, I was deeply impressed by the way you reasoned with me. I don't know why I like you. I think I am just like that. There are things that I know I shouldn't do, but I just want to give it a try. At first, I didn't think my feelings for you were a big deal. I thought I could control my emotions, and I could get you out of it any time I wanted. I thought I could convince everyone around me with my acting skills as if I was in a show or something. But I was wrong. I am obsessed with you, and I'm trapped in it. Catherine, it hit me hard when I heard that you are marrying Blake. Only then did I realize that I couldn't get you out of my mind. I'm struggling. I don't know what to do now." As I listened to him, I was at a loss, too. If Leo hadn't said this
Third person's POV In a nearby cafe. Howard and Rowena sat by the window. Rowena was staring at a corner of the park, while Howard was looking at her. "I heard you resigned. Why?" Howard stirred the coffee in his cup, asking her in a low voice. "No reason. I just felt tired and wanted to rest," Rowena replied. "Was it because of me? My mother exposed our relationship and made things awkward for you at work." Howard's voice was filled with guilt and self-blame. Though Rowena did not say anything or blame him, he knew. That was the reason she resigned. Rowena was silent. She couldn't get those humiliating words from her colleagues out of her head. "It turns out that she wants to marry into a rich family. How ambitious!" "That's right. I have no idea that she was secretly dating Mr. Twitty. She hid it so well. If Mr. Twitty's mother hadn't come to the company to make a scene, none of us would have known." "I heard that sh
Catherine's POV The night fell. I had been feeling like I was in a dream lately since my life had been so wonderful. Patricia and Emerson appreciated me, and Blake indulged me. He would surprise me from time to time to make me happy. Blake was a perfect mate. Wealth made him confident. And though many people also had money, they weren't as delicate and gentle as him. Therefore, Blake was simply attractive. I used to think he was arrogant and self-centered, but after I fell for him, I realized that Blake did have what it took to attract women. "Mommy!" Hedwig suddenly ran over. She asked me seriously, "After you and daddy get married, are you going to call him honey?" I was a little surprised that she asked so. I smiled, "Who told you that?" "I saw it on TV. A kid's mommy calls his daddy honey," Hedwig said, blinking her eyes like a curious baby. I chuckled. "Why don't you go and ask your daddy? I can't explain this." "
Third person's POV In the bedroom on the second floor, Catherine sat on the bed with a sad look. Blake sat beside her. He held her hand and said, "We will be your family from now on. Don't be sad anymore, OK?" Catherine closed her eyes and said, "Without the necklace, I'll have no connections left with my parents, right?" "It's just a necklace," Blake comforted her. "I know. But it was from my parents. I should have been more cautious with it," Catherine sighed. Blake promised to help Catherine find the necklace, but he didn't mean it. He hoped that Catherine would never see the necklace again. The next morning, the sun shone brightly. With his phone in hand, Benjamin pushed open Cedrick's office in a hurry. Cedrick looked up at Benjamin and said, "When will you learn to knock?" Benjamin put the phone in front of Cedrick and pointed at it. "Cedrick, is this you?" Cedrick shifted his gaze to Benjamin's pho
Third person's POV Lillian completely froze. Then a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. She bit her lower lip, tears welling in her eyes. "You didn't come to the wedding. You didn't rescue me. You made me the person I am today. Do you have any idea what I've been through these past few years? I had to put up with my husband staying out all night. He didn't love me at all. He just thought that I was pretty, and going out with me by his side made him look good. I was too young to make the right choice. I was wrong. You are the man that I want to spend my life with." "Enough!" Cedrick's face was utterly sullen as he interrupted her with a cold voice. Then he said, "The past is the past. I have nothing to do with you from now on. I heard that you received five hundred million dollars from your divorce. It is enough for you to enjoy the rest of your life!" Lillian's face was a little pale. She realized that Cedrick was serious. He did not love he
Third person's POV Jessica was chatting with her friends. Then, she received a call. She excused herself and then answered the call, with joy on her pretty face. However, after Jessica hung up the phone, the smile on her face faded. More people came to the party. Jessica was standing at the door. She froze. There were several of Jessica's friends standing outside the door. Then, someone came uninvited. It was Lillian. Lillian was dressed up, and she was stunning. Standing outside the door, the light fell on her, and for a moment, Jessica was overshadowed by her. "Hi, Miss Hall, am I not welcome here? These are my friends. I just came back from abroad and didn't know many places to hang out. So, I thought why not come to your party," Lillian said with a graceful smile. Jessica was young and inexperienced. She couldn't handle such a situation, or, at least, she shouldn't show it on her face. "Jessica, this is Lillian. Sh
Third person's POV "Catherine, will you stay for a bit longer? You are Blake's fiancee after all. I won't be afraid of her with you by my side." Jessica pulled Catherine's arm. Catherine pulled a wry face. "Alright, let's go inside. Let me take a look at that woman!" Catherine patted Jessica on the shoulder with sympathy, and also tried to comfort her. Lillian was already here to challenge Jessica. She should fight back and not back off. "Don't defeat yourself. Chin up. Be confident!" Catherine encouraged Jessica with a smile. The two of them returned to the private room. Then, they heard a woman's loud laughter. "It's her!" Jessica winked at Catherine. Catherine looked over and was a little stunned. Lillian was around 1.7 meters tall and had a slender and exquisite figure. She had the look that most men would prefer. Lillian had an attractive face, and her slender, ice-blue dress made her look even more ladylike.
Third person's POV Since Jessica was no longer in a pickle, Catherine was prepared to leave. She said to Leo, "I'm leaving now. Have fun!" "Alright!" Leo wanted Catherine to stay longer, but he dared not to say it. Catherine said bye to Jessica and left. Catherine drove home. The lights in the parlor were dimmed. She tiptoed upstairs, cracked the door of Noah's room, and heard Blake whispering bedtime stories to the children. For an instant, Catherine was stunned and somehow felt warm inside. Blake raised his head. His eyes met Catherine's as she leaned against the door. "Mommy..." "Mommy, didn't you go to a birthday party? You're back so early!" "Is it because you miss us so much?" Hedwig asked with a smile. Noah pursed his lips. "I think she missed daddy!" "It's late. Why are you still up? Don't pester daddy all the time. He has a lot of work during the day and is very busy." Catherine lectured the kids with a
Third Person's POV"What's going on here? I just heard him mention a breakup. He wouldn't be breaking up with Sunny, would he?" Patricia was so agitated because she had caught those words.Catherine, of course, also pondered over what Leo had said, and then replied, "Grandma, it seems he announced a breakup with Miss Garcia in front of the reporters.""What's this all about? They were getting along just fine, and now suddenly a breakup? Did he initiate it?"Patricia was truly a worrier at heart. She had finally seen her grandsons with girlfriends, on the verge of settling down, but now they were talking about breaking up."Grandma, don't get so worked up. Why don't you give him a call and find out what's really going on?" Catherine comforted Patricia.In reality, she too felt a growing unease.She sensed that this matter might be far more serious than she had imagined.Patricia picked up her phone and dialed Leo's number, inten
Third Person's POV"What on earth is going on? I was telling everyone that Leo was going to be my son-in-law, and now look, everyone's calling to mock me, to make a fool of me. You unambitious girl, you've disgraced me!"Moira clearly couldn't accept this reality and the blow it dealt her, venting all her resentment on Sunny.Sunny let Moira scold her without a word of retort.Only after Moira had finished did she say, "Mom, I'm tired. I'm going to hang up now."After ending the call, Sunny closed her eyes, lay back on the bed, and felt utterly drained.She knew the days of being ridiculed were far from over, and she could only resign herself to accept it all.The news of Leo and Sunny's breakup indeed caused quite a stir. Some gloated, those who watched indifferently, and those who were secretly delighted and mocking.Among them, the most elated was undoubtedly Mirabel Field, who had always taken a dislike to Sunny.She
Third Person's POV"Fine, let's break up then." Leo snorted coldly, his tone devoid of any reluctance, "I'll have someone pack up your things and send them back to you.""Leo, I'm really sorry. Thank you for not despising me in the past...""Don't say such insincere words. If I liked you, I would naturally treat you with utmost kindness. But you didn't cherish it. You betrayed my trust, and this is all on you," Leo cut her off abruptly, then stormed out of the hospital room, slamming the door behind him.Sunny felt as if she had been struck by lightning, standing there motionless for a long time, like a frozen statue.A gust of cold air came through the window, jolting her awake. It felt like she had been in a beautiful dream, but the man who had been good to her was now gone.In the world of werewolves, the departure of a mate is a tremendous blow to the other party.Sunny felt her world collapse in an instant, as if she had lost the
Third Person's POVLeo sat on the sofa directly opposite the hospital bed, his hands constantly flipping a mobile phone.The thought of how tightly this woman had concealed things from him made his heart feel stifled.He began to doubt how genuine her feelings for him were.Perhaps her intentions for getting close to him were becoming increasingly clear—was she trying to atone for her despicable Olivia?On what grounds did she beg for his forgiveness? Shouldn't mistakes be punished?"Mmm..." Sunny, on the hospital bed, let out a faint moan, seemingly due to discomfort.Then, her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing the white ceiling and the IV drip hanging nearby.'Was this a hospital?'Sunny suddenly sat up, only to meet a pair of dark eyes, their depths flickering with cold light as if carrying a Siberian chill, causing her to gasp in fright."Did you bring me to the hospital? Thanks." Sunny vaguel
Third Person's POVAt that moment, a middle-aged woman emerged from inside, her face turning pale with fright at the sight of a group of people intruding on her farm."Sir, why have you broken into my farm? Is there something you need?" This woman was Teresa, who feigned surprise as she stepped forward to inquire."Bring Olivia out!" Leo said with a stern expression."Olivia? She's not here!" Teresa immediately shook her head in response."Do you really think we'll believe that?" Leo suddenly turned around, grabbing Sunny who was walking last, and said with a gloomy face, "Didn't she come here looking for Olivia? Stop wasting time and bring her out."Sunny's face had already turned pale, devoid of any color, and her body was on the verge of collapsing.Teresa looked at Sunny, her face clearly showing a look of reproach, "Sunny, how could you do this? Do you have any idea...""Teresa, I..."Sunny tried to explain, but fou
Third Person's POV"Now?" Sunny's head buzzed, wishing she could just faint on the spot.She knew that once they went, the hidden secrets would likely be exposed. Faced with Leo's insistent attitude, she didn't know how to refuse, her heart filled with panic and helplessness.Sunny reached for her phone, but suddenly, a hand as strong as a vise clamped down on her slender wrist, gripping it tightly.Leo's voice was as cold as a winter wind, "That's right, now. You lead the way."Sunny considered pretending not to know anyone named Teresa, but her mother had already revealed everything.There was no room to feign ignorance.She forced a laugh, suppressing her inner turmoil, "I'm feeling a bit dizzy now, could we...?""No, Sunny. I want you to lead the way right now." Leo's voice grew even colder, the threat in his tone leaving no room for doubt."Alright," Sunny sighed, reluctantly agreeing.Her heart pounded, and
Third Person's POVSunny couldn't fathom his thoughts and let it go. They drove to the company.The employees at the company regarded Sunny as the future boss lady.Previously, they might have ignored her, but now, everyone was vying to get close to her and become familiar.Changes in status and identity often lead to starkly different attitudes from others. As an important person by Leo's side, Sunny naturally received special treatment and was treated differently by everyone. Everyone wanted to maintain a good relationship with her in the future to gain some benefits or avoid unnecessary trouble.Sunny knew that all of this was the special treatment Leo had given her, so she didn't dare to be too complacent.In reality, Sunny had also made quite a few enemies at the company. Female artists who had admired Leo before were now cursing her behind her back.These women, driven by unrequited love, resorted to various underhanded tactics
Third Person's POV"Pregnant?" Sunny's mind buzzed, going blank for a moment, then she hurriedly said, "That should be quite unlikely. We always took precautions.""I know, but precautions aren't one hundred percent effective. I'm just looking out for you because there are many medications that pregnant women shouldn't take." The doctor patiently explained to her."Oh! Alright then." Sunny's expression stiffened slightly, and then she was forced to recall every moment she was with Leo, thinking of those blush-inducing and heart-racing scenes, her pale cheeks flushed with a rosy hue.Leo sat on the sofa outside the door, and as soon as he saw her come out, he immediately asked, "Did you get the medicine?""The doctor wants me to get a blood test. She's worried I might be pregnant." Sunny let out a bitter smile."What?" Leo's eyes lit up instantly.For werewolves, the conception of new life is a joyous event for the family, and having a
Third Person's POV"Damn it!" Leo's heart lurched at the high-temperature reading, and he cursed under his breath.He rummaged through the first-aid kit but found no spare fever-reducing medicine.With Sunny in her current state, if her fever didn't subside quickly, she could end up delirious.Leo glanced at the time. It was a little after three in the morning. Where could he find an open pharmacy at this hour?Should he take her to the hospital? After a moment's thought, he decided to call his assistant instead.The assistant, groggy from sleep, was jolted awake by the urgent call. He quickly dressed and rushed to the hospital to fetch the medicine.Leo made a silent vow to reward his assistant handsomely for this.At five in the morning, the assistant arrived with the fever-reducing medicine.Leo expressed his gratitude, and the assistant was touched. He hadn't expected his usually aloof boss to become so considerate.With the medicine in hand, Leo brought a glass of warm water and
