Catherine's POV
I reached out and held my head. Blake immediately got worried. "What's wrong? Headache again?" I shook my head. "No. Blake, would you believe me if I told you what happened?" "Yes," Blake said in a low voice. He looked at me firmly. "But you must tell me the truth." "I will. Something did happen between me and Leo, but it wasn't like what you thought." I looked at Blake nervously. I was afraid that he would be angry. "What is it?" Blake's face was gloomy. I plucked up my courage and said, "He did tell me that he had feelings for me before. But please don't get it wrong. Nothing ever happened between us. I always think of him as a friend." "He told you he had feelings for you? When?" His body was tense, and his voice suddenly lowered. It took all his strength to get the question out. Blake was trying his best to press his anger. I was worried. I wanted to hug him and comfort him. When my fingers toBlake's POV I stood on the garden path. The warm orange light of the street lamp shone on me, giving me a warm feeling. I looked ahead, and my heart gradually calmed down. Soon, Leo came out. I heard his hesitant footsteps. When he came behind me, I did not look at him. I continued to walk forward while he followed me. Finally, when we reached a lake far away, I stopped. Leo stopped as well. For a moment, neither of us spoke. After a while, Leo broke the silence. "Blake, I thought you said you wanted to talk to me about something," he said in a low voice. I turned to look into his eyes. "Yes. I want you to put aside your love for Catherine. Can you do that?" Leo looked shocked and frightened. Perhaps he needed some time to understand my words. I waited quietly. We fell silent again. After a while, Leo started again. "Blake, I think there's some misunderstanding..." "Just promise me to
Catherine's POV I was in the living room. At first, I wanted to go upstairs to check on Noah and Hedwig while Blake was bathing them, but Patricia stopped me. Patricia's attitude had changed recently, and I had a better impression of her. Since she had something to say to me, I was willing to listen carefully. Patricia looked at the gauze wrapped around my head, and her tone softened. She asked, "Does it still hurt?" I shook my head and replied softly, "Only sometimes. It's almost healed." "I can't believe this would happen to you. It was your sister who did this to you, and you two never got along. Right?" "Yes. We haven't been on good terms since we were kids," I didn't hide it. "Well, she got what she deserved. You may put it behind you now. I am looking forward to you and Blake's wedding, with the Moon Goddess' blessing," Patricia said softly. I looked at Patricia in surprise. My tone was filled with gratitude. "Th
Catherine's POV Blake stopped and looked at me in surprise. "Abigail's reason is her love for Halsey, right?" he said coldly. "You know nothing about women. We won't walk away from our children. No matter how hard it is, we will always bring our children with us. You should try to get to know Abigail. Perhaps she had special reasons to leave you," I explained. Blake was stunned. He had never thought of it that way. His confused look upset me. "Cathy, if I accidentally did something that made you disappointed and sad, would you abandon the kids and leave me?" Blake suddenly asked. I curled the corners of my mouth. "Even if I did, I would take Noah and Hedwig with me." Blake chuckled. He gently held me in his strong arms. His lips pressed against my shoulder. He gently said, "I see. I will keep your words in mind. I won't upset you." Blake's words made me happy. I was surprised at how dependent he was on me. Blake wiped
Blake's POV Early in the morning, the sun shone into the room. I got up to take Noah and Hedwig to school. Catherine was still asleep. Noah and Hedwig quietly approached her. Each of them gave her a morning kiss. Seeing Catherine wake up, Hedwig laughed. On the contrary, Noah complained, "Hedwig, you woke Mommy up." Hedwig felt a little aggrieved. She said, "I just wanted to kiss Mommy. It feels like ages since the last time I kissed her." I listened to their conversation, feeling that I had never been in a better mood. Nothing was better than opening my eyes in the morning and seeing my kids and my beautiful wife. Catherine hugged them and said, "I'm awake. Are you going to school now?" "Yes. I wanted Daddy to talk to the teacher and get us another day off, but he turned me down. Bad Daddy!" Hedwig pouted. I was already standing at the door of the coat room with Noah and Hedwig's uniforms in my hands. When I he
Blake's POV I sat in the office with a cup of coffee in my hand. I turned the chair to the glass window. I looked through the bright glass window into the distance. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Noah and Hedwig should have taken a bath and were ready to go to bed. They had school tomorrow. And Catherine must be sitting by their beds, telling bedtime stories with a storybook in her hands. Or perhaps she was humming lullabies. Noah and Hedwig were getting more independent after Catherine's identity was exposed. In the past, Hedwig always felt insecure and would ask Catherine to hold her to sleep every night. Yet now, Noah and Hedwig were used to sleeping on their own beds. I had to admit that kids grow up so fast. However, I felt distressed every time I saw them curling into balls in their beds. I never thought that I would become a father so soon. I didn't even think I'd find my mate. I thought
Blake's POV "Fine. You got me. You are right. I was waiting for you. I was worried about you!" Catherine said loudly. Her face was already red. I reached out and pinched her cheek. Then I stuffed the file bag into her hand. Catherine was stunned for a second. Then she quickly grabbed the bag. I bent down, picked her up, and walked upstairs. Catherine stretched out her hands and put her arms around my neck. She pressed her cheek against my shoulder like a docile sheep. She had lost a lot of weight after the car accident, which made my heart ache. I could feel she loved me deeply. I was also content to see her, my mate, when I came back late at night. In the bedroom, I gently placed her on the bed and asked softly, "Have you taken a bath? Do you need my help?" Catherine blushed a little and shook her head. "I took a bath already. Go take a shower now." "OK. Just lie down." I gently tucked her in. Catherine hid und
Blake's POV After I arrived at the company, I had several important meetings to attend, and I immediately got busy. When I returned to the office after the first meeting, Dowen knocked on the door and came in. "King Blake, someone sent you a package." I frowned and asked coldly, "What is it?" "I don't know. It's not signed." Dowen looked puzzled. "Give it to me." I rarely get delivery or anything like that. Most of the things were sent to Dowen, who would pass them to me. Dowen placed the package on my desk, and I tore the wrappings. A few photos fell from the package to the desk. I picked them up at once to take a look. It was my father, Marc, and a woman in those photos. At the sight of the woman, my eyes widened in shock. It was the woman Patricia asked me to investigate a while ago. What was the relationship between Olivia and Marc? Patricia wouldn't ask me to investigate her for no reason. I g
Catherine's POV "Catherine?" Blake's voice was deep, and I could tell how tired he was. He didn't hide this languor in front of me, making me feel distressed. "Blake, we have a visitor at home. Patricia said he was Richard's son. Did you know he was coming?" I said bluntly. "Nick came to the villa?" Blake sounded surprised. It seemed that he had no idea. "Yes. He showed up out of nowhere. Was he up to something?" I didn't have any good impression of Richard and his family. So, I wanted to warn Blake about them. "I will be back early today. Don't worry. If he is on to something, I will find out!" Blake comforted me. "Alright then. Go back to your work. I'll leave you to it," I said gently. I raised my hand to look at the watch on my wrist. It was already four o'clock. I wanted to go pick up Noah and Hedwig together with Patricia. When I went downstairs, Patricia was on her way out. "Patricia, I'll go with you." I quickly stepped forward. Patricia turned around and
Third Person's POVThe man who had been so brazen just moments ago now trembled at the sight before him. His legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud.Clutching his bleeding head, he broke down in tears. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't really mean it—I was just talking nonsense! Mr. Chavez, please! I'm stupid! I'll never say anything like that again!"Blake watched the man's frantic apologies, the anger in his eyes slowly fading. He spoke coldly, "This isn't over. Not by a long shot."With that, he signaled his bodyguards to carry Leo out of the scene.Blake wasn't like Leo. He couldn't afford to throw punches in public, not when he had to maintain the dignity of the royal family. If their grandfather found out that they were brawling like teenagers, he'd be furious. Blake wasn't about to let years of careful upbringing go to waste over a fight.But that didn't mean he'd let this slide. He had other ways to make these men pay—ways that would leave a lasting impressi
Third Person's POV"What?" Blake's expression froze for a moment. The next second, he grabbed his coat and rushed out the door.As he hurriedly put on his jacket, he called out to Patricia, "Grandma, I'm heading out!"Patricia, noticing his frantic demeanor, had no idea what was going on. She chased after him, asking a few questions, but Blake didn't answer. He quickly got into his car, called his assistant, and sped off toward the scene where Leo was causing trouble.Inside the hotel, a group of men were shouting and cursing. On the nearby sofa, a man sat slumped over.He had been wearing a mask earlier, but now it was off, revealing a strikingly handsome yet arrogant face—Leo.Next to him, several men were nursing their injuries. One of them held a hand to his face, blood trickling down his forehead. They had ganged up on Leo earlier, but when his mask fell off, they froze in fear and stopped attacking. Despite that, Leo was still battered and bruised, looking utterly disheveled."I
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
