Catherine's POV
"And the second..." Leo said. "Next will be my target!" Leo smiled. He did not seem to care what the next woman looked like. "Whatever. As long as you find it funny!" I said angrily. I shouldn't have let Leo drive to such a remote place to eat with him. We didn't do anything that we shouldn't have. We were just sitting and eating like friends. However, I still felt guilty. I felt like I had betrayed Blake. "Leo, I won't go out with you alone from now on. I hope you can understand what I mean." I knew Leo's feelings for me, and I knew Leo had no bad intentions, but I knew more that I couldn't let him go on like this. Leo lowered his head. I could not see his face. "Alright. I won't ask you out alone anymore. I know it's not appropriate," Leo whispered. "Let's go back. I booked a flight home tonight. What about you?" I changed the subject. "You can go back first. I still want to hang out for a few mCatherine's POV I returned to the lakeside villa just as Noah and Hedwig were finishing class. I sat in the parlor and waited. When I heard the sound of the car, I quickly walked out. The car doors opened, and Noah and Hedwig ran toward me. "Mommy, I miss you so much!" Hedwig hugged my neck tightly and kissed my face. "Mommy, don't leave anymore, OK?" Hearing Hedwig's words, Noah looked at me with anticipation. "OK, I promise. I won't go anywhere from now on. I will stay with you and Noah," I comforted Hedwig. To my surprise, Noah and Hedwig missed me so much, though it had just been a few days. "Mommy, daddy also went out to work, but he came back earlier than you. He came back yesterday. Can you call daddy over for dinner tonight?" Hedwig pleaded in a low voice. Of course, I knew Blake was back early, but I couldn't say yes to Hedwig. "If you miss daddy, you can have dinner with him tonight. I'll have to skip
Catherine's POV Soon, I returned to work. But I could sense a shift in the attitude of my colleagues towards me. In the morning meeting, Mark, the deputy director, had a big fight with Melinda over a contract. Melinda said angrily, "He did it on purpose because everyone in the company is gossiping about you and King Blake's breakup." "I'm sorry, Melinda. I got you into this mess. If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have made it difficult for you." I felt guilty. "Catherine, don't say that. Mark has a beef with me anyway," Melinda comforted me. The incident with Melinda occurred only a few days before the project in my hands was snatched away. I won the project from Leo's company. I asked Lucy to take care of the project while I was on leave. When I came back to work, she said that she wanted to sort out some files before giving the project back to me. I agreed. However, she kept stalling every time I asked her. She was unwill
Catherine's POV After hanging up the phone, I was still a little unsettled. I wasn't being cruel. It was just that the truth was too harsh. I didn't want Emerson and Patricia to find out about this. If they did, they wouldn't allow me to stay at the lakeside villa. I had to stick to my bottom line, for Noah and Hedwig and my uncertain future. Night fell. After work, I returned home a bit worn out. I saw Noah and Hedwig doing their homework as I walked in the door. They were doing some handwork. Noah had already finished his homework and was helping Hedwig. "Mommy, you are back! Are you tired today?" Hedwig said with a smile. I stroked her head. "I'm not tired. Not after I see you guys." "Mommy, we want to have dinner with you tonight!" Noah said with a smile. I was touched. Noah and Hedwig were very considerate. Even if I didn't ask for it, they were both on my side. "Why don't you go and have dinn
Catherine's POV I stood in the doorway, looking at Patricia. I didn't know if I should say something. Patricia saw me and said, "Come and sit here." I walked over and sat on the sofa next to her. Patricia sighed. "I never wanted to see you again, but I just couldn't bear to part with Noah and Hedwig. So, from now on, you may come and join us for dinner." Blake and I looked at each other, and Blake smiled. "Thank you, Patricia. I love you so much!" Hedwig kissed Patricia on the face. "Thank you, Patricia." I was very grateful. Patricia turned around and said, "I only said you could come here and eat with us. I didn't promise you anything else." "I know." Still, I was very happy. I knew that Patricia had a good heart. She was simply stubborn. I didn't hate her, because Halsey hurt her. At least Patricia didn't kick me out of the lakeside villa and still allowed me to spend time with Noah and Hedwig.
Catherine's POV When I checked on the news in the afternoon, I was surprised that someone had found out the identity of the girl in the photo. The girl's name was Sunny. She was a reporter and had just graduated from university. In my opinion, she was pretty with a good figure. I had mixed feelings. I felt that Leo was a nice and responsible person. I hoped that Leo could soon let go of his feelings for me because I did not want him to suffer from them. At night, when I returned to Lakeside Villa, Patricia called me to Mountaintop Villa to have dinner. Patricia was still quite cold to me, but at least, she did not stop me from spending time with Blake. At the dining table, Patricia smiled, "Blake, I was surprised that Leo finally found his mate. I always believe that the Moon Goddess is watching over us. I heard that his mate is a reporter. It seems that she is not a member of the royal family or a descendant of the elders of the Council."
Catherine's POV After a long kiss, I was almost out of breath, then Blake let go of me. He said in a low voice, "You are not allowed to fall in love with anyone else. Understand?" "Why are you being so bossy?" I laughed. "You know me well. When it comes to love, I can be very possessive. You're the one I chose, and my love for you will never change! You should never betray me because I don't know what I'll do when I get mad," Blake said seriously. "Okay, I promise you. I will only love you. Do you hear me, Blake? I only love you!" I looked at him. Blake laughed, "OK, got it." When I saw him laugh, I secretly let out a sigh of relief. "Let's go. Noah and Hedwig are not home, we should put our time to best use!" Blake stared at me, and I knew what he wanted. I didn't expect Blake to be so bold. Patricia finally let us see each other, but he wanted more. "It's better not to do it tonight. How about another day..."
Catherine's POV When Sunny and I stepped onto the stairs, we saw a figure running over in a hurry. It was Leo. He looked serious, and he pulled Sunny to his side. "Come with me!" Leo's voice was low, and he was very angry. Leo dragged Sunny away. He was being rude, so I blocked their way. "Stop treating her this way!" "Catherine, leave us alone. This is between me and Sunny!" Leo softened his tone, but he deliberately raised his voice so that everyone in the living room could hear him. I was stunned. Sunny immediately whispered to me, "Ms. Wyatt, help me..." I turned around again and saw them walking toward the garden in the dark. I felt worried. What was Leo up to? Did he think Sunny had told me things that she wouldn't have? I had the urge to go over and help Sunny. Blake suddenly walked over. He said in a gentle tone, "Come on, don't be nosy. Maybe that's how they handle things together."
Catherine's POV I called Blake and told him that I wouldn't be going home for dinner tonight. Then I called Noah and Hedwig. I was going to ask Melinda to join us today, but Melinda had other plans, so I went to the restaurant alone. I booked a relatively luxurious restaurant since I wanted to thank Alina for her support. I parked the car in the restaurant's parking lot and saw Gina when I closed the door. Gina looked as rich as she used to be. She was holding the arm of a middle-aged man and asked him to go first when she saw me. Then she walked toward me. She was wearing high heels, and her clothes were very fashionable. "I'm curious. Why did Blake dump you? It must have been a juicy story!" Gina burst into laughter, which sent a shiver down my spine. I frowned. "What do you want to do? Gina, stop causing trouble. Don't ruin your career again." "Catherine, do you know Halsey?" Gina suddenly said. My fac
Third People's POV After what happened last time, Emerson's condition got worse quickly. Blake did not know if Richard would ever regret what he did. Right now, Blake simply wanted to spare Emerson any regrets. Then, it was time for him to settle accounts with Richard and Nick. Therefore, with Catherine's consent, in less than a month, he and Catherine sent out wedding invitations after their engagement. Abigail and Patricia gave Catherine a white wedding dress that cost nearly 10 million with thousands of diamonds on it. Catherine was so moved that her eyes turned red after learning that Abigail and Patricia had given her such a precious gift. Their ring had been custom-made a long time ago. It was a rarity with only the best diamonds, and it took the most skilled craftsmen nearly a month to polish. The ring, which had yet to be named, was finally given a name by the purchaser, Blake, and he called it "the one". It was Catherine's wedding
Catherine's POV In the morning, the sun was shining brightly. In this month of snow, it was a rare sunny day today. On this day, the love story between Blake and me finally had a perfect result. We were going to be engaged. This made the whole city excited. Everyone was talking about it, looking forward to seeing the scene of our engagement banquet. Blake prepared this engagement banquet in a hurry. In his view, everything was not perfect, but he was already doing his best to do everything. The Moon Goddess could vouch for me. I didn't care about this. As long as he was by my side, I would be satisfied. Emerson was very happy and very pleased. He could finally see his grandson getting married. At my engagement party, Abigail was present, but Halsey could not come. Because he did not want to ruin my engagement party. Today was the engagement party. It was not our wedding yet, so I did not wear a white wedding dress. I only wore a dar
Third People's POV The next morning, the news of Blake and Catherine's engagement was spread. It was not discovered by the reporters. Instead, because the Chavez Pack had sent the invitations early in the morning, the people who were invited would naturally talk about it. Thus, some media outlets took the opportunity to report it. They did not exaggerate the engagement banquet and simply reported it. The media and reporters were smart enough and knew clearly about what they could report unrestrainedly and whom they couldn't afford to offend. Blake was a good example. The rumors about him on the internet would always be removed in less than an hour. Therefore, if someone was ignorant and posted something about Blake randomly, he would never be able to bear the consequences. He would lose his job, implicated the entire company he was in, and even go to jail. Emily browsed the news on the internet with an ashen face. Blake and Catherine were about to get engaged.
Blake's POV Inside the manor. Richard stayed for dinner. Nick was also called back by Patricia. Patricia called Leo, but Leo rejected her. Patricia scolded Leo for that. Leo was depressed and went to eat with Sunny. Because of Olivia, the relationship between him and Sunny had been bumpy recently. Since it was a family dinner, Catherine had to bring the children downstairs. Richard was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Nick. I sat next to him as the host. I was already Lycan King. I had the final say in the entire royal wolf pack. Therefore, Richard and Nick didn't seem happy. After Catherine brought the two children downstairs, Nick's eyes focused on her. Catherine wore a long white knitted coat. Her long hair hung on her back. She looked sweet and warm. My gaze inadvertently swept across Nick's face, which was filled with obsession. Although he quickly put that look away, I saw it clearly. I became wary. How dare he covet my woman in
Blake's POV The night fell. I returned home at six o'clock in the evening. My face was cloudy. At this time, Richard should have arrived home. The car stopped outside Mountaintop Villa. I strode into the parlor. Dowen quickly came over and greeted me. "Is Richard here?" I asked in a low voice. Dowen pointed upstairs. "He just arrived. Now he is talking to Emerson and Patricia upstairs." I frowned deeply and snorted in my heart. I had made a difficult decision that I would not do anything to Richard when Emerson was still alive. However, if he kept making trouble, I wouldn't show any mercy to him. I climbed the stairs. I did not go up to see Emerson and Patricia immediately. Instead, I walked to the toy room. Then, I saw two little guys quietly practicing writing and drawing. Catherine sat gently on one side and was teaching them. Under the warm light, the scene of two children staying with their mom looked sweet. "Daddy
Blake's POV I had heard the news from my assistant and knew that Leo had come to see me. When I saw Leo push the door open, I immediately frowned. "How much did you drink?" "I have something very important to tell you!" After Leo finished speaking, he raised a mobile phone. "This is Sunny's phone. She went to see Olivia and recorded Olivia's statement. It seemed that Richard was really behind it." "Play it, now!" My face instantly darkened and my voice was urgent. Leo clicked the recording. After the two of us listened to it, Leo said coldly, "This is the evidence. We can send Richard to prison again. The werewolf court will give him the trial he deserves." "Leo, I also have something to tell you!" I was very angry after listening to the recording, but I could not be impulsive. After a few seconds of silence, I finally made a decision. When Leo saw that I didn't react the way he did, his expression changed greatly and suppressed his anger.
Third People's POV At noon, the sun hid in the clouds and the sky was dark as if there would be a blizzard at any time. Emily paced back and forth in the room uneasily. She had someone keep an eye on the development of the accident. She didn't expect that the accident would end in just a few days. The family of the deceased accepted Blake's large sum of compensation. The man she picked was still held at the police station. Thus, Emily felt as if she was waiting for the coming of death. She felt sadder day by day. The man had received 100,000 from Emily. Emily believed that she would be investigated soon. However, she didn't understand why the police hadn't called her yet. This matter had already come to an end. On the night that the man was arrested, he confessed everything. The police found out that the man had several bank accounts. Although he received the money in batches, there were 100,000 in total. The money and the man's ambiguous attitud
Catherine's POV It was early in the morning. At breakfast, Blake brought up the engagement. The others were very supportive. No one had any objections. Emerson was simply thrilled. He rarely came down to have breakfast with us. Hearing that Blake and I were going to get engaged, he said excitedly, "That's great! The sooner the better!" Hedwig stirred the oats in her bowl, pouted, and asked, " Daddy, Mommy, after you get engaged, can I have a younger sister?" Everyone was amused by her words. I was the only exception. I blushed. Blake's gaze swept across my face, and he gently put his arm around my slender waist under the table. I was startled and quickly pushed his unruly hand away. "Hedwig, no talking when eating. Have you forgotten?" I was worried that Hedwig might say something blunter, so I reprimanded her softly. "I'm sorry, Mommy." Hedwig immediately became obedient again. "Catherine, are you on vacation? I
Catherine's POV Blake went to work early the next morning. Suddenly, my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and found that it was Halsey. I was very glad to receive his call. "Halsey, why are you back so suddenly? You should have told me in advance." "It was a last-minute call. Can we have dinner together tonight? It would be even better if you could bring the kids together with you," Halsey said gently. I hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "Let me ask Blake. If he doesn't want me to bring the kids out, I will come alone." "Alright. See you tonight." Halsey hung up the phone. Then I called Blake and told him about the call with Halsey. There was a bit of displeasure in Blake's tone. "Is he back?" "Yes. Can I bring the kids to eat with him?" I asked him nicely, wanting to know his opinion. "At a time like this, I don't think you should take the kids out." Blake still blamed Halsey. I didn't insist. "OK then. I
