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 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
