Catherine's POV
I woke up with a splitting headache, which was probably the result of being drunk. Although my wolf could help me with injuries, she couldn't do anything about my hangover. I got up and took out my phone to check the time. It was three o'clock in the morning. I didn't expect to sleep till this time. "Where am I?" I stumbled to find the switch. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the living room light was on. It was so bright that I covered my eyes with my hand. "Catherine, finally! You are awake!" I heard Melinda's concerned voice. Then I started remembering what happened. "Does your head hurt? Have some milk," Melinda said. I felt cold all over. I took the glass from Melinda. I was so touched that I almost cried. "Thank you, Melinda!" After having some milk, I felt a little better in my stomach, and my head stopped hurting so badly. It was only then that I realized what time it was. ICatherine's POV Though I tried my best not to look at him, I could still sense the powerful aura coming from him, the Lycan King. "Daddy, do something. Talk to mommy. I don't want her to be with another man!" Hedwig was not as smart and mature as Noah. She was just a four-year-old girl. Blake still looked cold. He crouched in front of Hedwig and looked into her large, watery, and concerned eyes. "Daddy, what's wrong? Why don't you say something? Don't you want mommy anymore?" Hedwig was getting anxious. Noah walked over from the sofa as well. He didn't sound as panicked and helpless as Hedwig. Instead, he was calm. "Daddy, you and mommy are really breaking up this time, aren't you?" Facing his children, Blake had no choice but to nod. "Yes. We both made a choice!" "No!" Hedwig shouted. "I don't want you to break up. No! If you break up, I will... I will not eat anything. I will starve myself to death!" Though Hedwig wa
Third person's POV "All you have to do now is to accept mommy being with Harley. Let's go piss daddy off together!" Noah whispered into her ear. "But this is unfair to daddy. Daddy will be so sad!" Hedwig loved Blake very much. She did not want to hurt him. "Idiot! Daddy made a mistake first. You should trust me. I don't think they will truly break up!" Noah said confidently. "I don't want to believe you!" Hedwig curled her lips. "Who else can you believe? I'm telling you, if you want daddy to make up with mommy, you have to listen to me!" Noah still said confidently. Hedwig's head went blank. She couldn't think of any ideas. When she thought that her parents were going to separate, she became anxious. Noah seemed very confident, so she nodded. "Fine. I believe you. What do you think we should do next?" "Let's go downstairs now, and do as I say. Remember to say whatever I told you to, and everything is going to be alright!" Noah gra
Blake's POV I was a little stunned watching Hedwig leave without looking back. It seemed that Hedwig blamed me for everything. It was my big mistake not to ask Catherine to stay and Hedwig had every reason to be mad at me. "Is Hedwig never going to talk to me again?" I turned around and asked Noah as I assumed that kids always understood each other better. Noah shrugged and said indifferently, "I don't know. When stupid Hedwig is sulking, it usually takes a week for her to get over it. So, just give her some time." "A week?" I was dumbfounded. "Alright, forget about stupid Hedwig now. Daddy, what happened to you and mommy? Why did you suddenly become like enemies?" Noah began to question me. I knew Noah was going to ask, but I didn't want to tell him. "Noah, just remember that I didn't have a better choice. My hands are tied!" I couldn't hide the sadness in my tone. "Why? What's troubling you? Tell me. I can change mom
Catherine's POV The parlor of the lakeside villa was brightly lit. As I entered the door, I saw Patricia sitting on the sofa drinking coffee. It was late, the kids must be asleep. I had mixed feelings when facing Patricia. We had been getting along very well. Patricia was a nice person who cared for her family. It was a pity that we couldn't become a family. "Ms. Wyatt, have a seat. We need to talk," Patricia put down the cup and said to me. I nodded, and then I sat on the sofa next to me. Dowen asked a servant to bring me a cup of coffee. "Blake has told you everything, right? I can only say sorry about this. You are not wrong, but we are not wrong either. Blake's mother left her two children and married your father. In any case, I hate your father and Blake's mother. They are selfish," Patricia said calmly. I nodded. "I know. This is more than right or wrong. I understand." "So, I didn't mean to ask you
Catherine's POV It was early the next morning. When I woke up, I saw Noah and Hedwig on my bed. They lay on the bed, blinking and watching me sleep. "Mommy, did we wake you up?" Hedwig asked. I sat up from the bed. "Why are you two up so early?" "Mommy, have you and daddy made up?" Hedwig asked without answering my question. Noah, who was lying beside her, sighed like an adult, " Looks like they haven't. Didn't my plan work yesterday? No way! Daddy should have been jealous by now." Noah's words left me a little speechless. I knew it. Of course, Noah didn't want me to be with Harley. What Noah said yesterday was just to piss Blake off. "Noah, Hedwig, drop this, OK? Don't make your daddy mad." Blake looked so tired and painful last night. How could I go on to hurt him? Hedwig's eyes widened. "Really? Will daddy leave us?" Noah patted Hedwig on the head. "You are so stupid! Daddy is so much better than that! He will be
Catherine's POV I followed Leo to a separate room. Leo suddenly turned and stared at me fiercely. "Are you really Halsey's daughter?" I nodded. "Yes. I am Halsey's daughter. Do you hate me?" Leo walked to the sofa and sat down. He said, "Are you sad that your wedding is off?" "Yes, I am!" I did not attempt to conceal my emotions. "But there's nothing we can do. There's no way we're getting married..." I was in so much pain that I could not speak. Leo looked away and said sarcastically, "How was this possible? You are his mate!" "But my father hurt you and Blake. I'm sorry," I apologized. "Why should you be apologizing to me? It's not your fault. Halsey should make up for the mistake he made," Leo snarled. "I know. But I'm still his daughter!" I was so sad. "What does Blake think? Does he hate you?" Leo asked as he looked at me. I shook my head. "No. He's in pain, too. He's sick now. Maybe you should go check on him." "Loo
Third person's POV Soon, Catherine returned to the lakeside villa. She knew Blake was in the study, yet she did not go over to see him. Catherine walked into the bedroom and began to sort her things out. The pain in her heart was killing her as she packed her suitcases. She wanted to see Blake. Catherine suddenly did not want to pack up. She did not want to leave... The bedroom door was pushed open, and Noah and Hedwig stood at the door. "Mommy, are you really moving out?" Hedwig cried. She ran over and snatched the clothes in Catherine's hands. "Don't go. Stay here. Daddy won't let you go." Noah turned and ran out. He could not bear to separate from his mother. Catherine crouched and hugged Hedwig. She said gently, "Hedwig, I'm not going far away. I'll still live in this city. If you miss me, you can ask Dowen to take you to see me." "No! I want mommy and daddy to be together. I don't want you to be separated!" Hedwig sobbed.
Third person's POV Patricia crouched and said, "Noah, Hedwig, I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying here. Your mommy and daddy are now siblings. Do you get it?" Catherine was angry and said to Patricia, "Patricia, how can you tell them that? This is too much for them." Patricia looked at Catherine and said, "If I didn't tell them, they would think that we bullied you." Noah looked at Catherine in confusion and asked, "Mommy, how can you and Daddy be siblings?" Catherine didn't know how to answer Noah's question. Patricia said to Noah, "Because your mommy's father married your daddy's mother." Noah and Hedwig looked at Catherine. "Mommy, that's messed up!" Noah said to Catherine. Hedwig looked up and asked Catherine, "Mommy, I can't understand!" Patricia said sarcastically, "Catherine, you should explain it to them." Catherine crouched and said gently to Noah and Hedwig, "It will take time for you to understand it.
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
