Catherine's POV
I was just reaching out to respond to Blake's hug when Patricia's voice suddenly came from the stairs. "Why are you two hugging each other here? There are still children at home. Isn't it too much for you two to do this?" Patricia's voice startled me, and I quickly pushed Blake away. When Blake heard Patricia's voice, his body tensed up. Then, he let go of me and walked toward the bedroom. "What happened to him?" Seeing that Blake had not even greeted her, Patricia was stunned. I hastily chuckled and said, "He might be a little tired from work. Patricia, don't mind him." "Of course not. He has made me mad countless times since he was young," Patricia smiled. I laughed softly, "I'll check on him." Then, I held his coat and walked quickly to the bedroom. I opened the door and saw him sitting on the sofa with a blank face. His eyes were glistening with tears. I was shocked. "What happened to you?" IBlake's POV One night had passed. The first thing I did when I came to the company was to ask about the results of Dowen's investigation, but the results were irritating. "We have investigated all the properties under Olivia's name. She is still nowhere to be found. King Blake, do we need to expand the scope?" Dowen asked me nervously. "Who is with her? Can others use the people around her to threaten her? Does she have any children?" I had been busy looking for Olivia and forgot to investigate her further. Last time, Patricia asked me to look into her background, but I only had some brief information about her and didn't pay attention to such details. However, Dowen shook his head. "When I investigated her last time, I mentioned that she had never given birth to a child. So, she doesn't have any children. However, I saw some of her old photos. She spent a lot of time with a little girl. I don't know if the girl is her illegitimate daughter. However, fo
Third People's POV Back at the apartment building, Sunny got Leo to leave. Then, she took out her mask and put on her hoodie. She stood by the roadside and hailed a taxi. She gave an address, and then the car left. Two hours later, on a farm on the outskirts of the city, the car stopped. Sunny paid the driver and went straight to the farm. Sunny knocked on the door. Someone came over to open the door and was surprised to see her. "Sunny, why are you here?" "Is Olivia here?" Sunny asked. That person was stunned for a moment. "Let me in. I have something urgent to tell her!" Sunny seemed to know something and asked. "But..." "I came alone. No one followed me!" Sunny could hear the worry in that person's voice. "Come in!" The door was opened. Her name was Teresa, Olivia's childhood friend. She was the only woman who did not despise Olivia. She has been ugly since she was a child. Olivia helped her a lot and they had been friends
Blake's POV At this time, I was busy looking for Olivia, but I did not expect that there was an even more serious thing happening. The newly developed high-end apartment of the Chavez Group was located in an excellent location. There was a bay next to it, so the apartment was very popular. The entire apartment was in final progress. However, at this time, a construction worker fell from the tenth floor, fell directly onto the floor, and died on the spot. I woke up from the warm blanket at the shocking news. When I received the call from my assistant, Dowen, my expression instantly changed. "First, send someone to his family first. I'll be right there. Also, don't let this matter be exposed." It happened at such a time, making me suspicious. "What's wrong?" Catherine asked with concern when she saw that I had changed my clothes. "It's nothing. Just go back to sleep. I have to go to work now." I comforted her. In the col
Catherine's POV As soon as Blake left, I immediately felt that the office was extremely empty. I felt so bored that I paced in his office. I checked every corner. Though his office was big, there weren't many things in the room. In this case, it seemed empty. And that was why I felt lonely here. Yet, Blake worked here for several years. He was able to endure this loneliness. It could feel how lonely he must have been. When I thought of this, my heart ached. The more I loved him, the more I could experience the loneliness he had once felt. An hour had passed. The office door was pushed open by a pair of slender hands. I saw him while sitting on the sofa. "Were you bored?" He threw the documents on the desk, walked to my side, and sat down. I shook my head. I looked at every corner of his office. I felt that I understood the man in front of me more. "Hedwig and Noah are going to start their holiday today, right?" Blake su
He walked into the room and saw her sitting on the couch. She looked up and smiled at him. He could see the sadness in her eyes. He sat down next to her and asked if she was okay. She nodded and said she was just feeling a little down. He reached out and held her hand, letting her know that he was there for her. They sat in silence for a while, just enjoying each other's presence. Eventually, he broke the silence and told her that he loved her. She looked at him, her eyes filled with tears, and said she loved him too. They hugged each other tightly, finding comfort in each other's embrace. As Blake descended from Emerson's room, he happened to see Leo walking in. He came alone, without Sunny, and his expression was somewhat tense as he entered. "Where's Sunny? Why are you here alone? Didn't you bring her?" Patricia was the first to ask him. Leo's face was calm as he replied, "She's got something to do, can't make it. Maybe next time." "Mom!" Leo saw Abigail nearby, and his ha
Third Person's POV Leo felt a bit uneasy under the scrutiny, his eyes flicking to Blake beside him. “Keep talking. I just remembered I have a call to make,” Blake said suddenly. “Blake!” Leo didn't expect Blake to leave him alone like this, and he frowned in annoyance. But Blake ignored his helpless expression and closed the door. Leo was angry, thinking about what Blake was up to, knowing full well that he and Emerson didn't get along and would argue at the sight of each other. “Leo, you're twenty-five this year, right?” Emerson asked. Leo's expression was tense as he nodded. “Yes.” “How's it going with your girlfriend?” Emerson asked casually. “Uh... it's going well. She's quite considerate,” Leo said with an inexplicable sense of superiority. Emerson frowned and reprimanded, “You're already this age, and you still act like a child. You feel proud that your girlfriend is considerate?” Leo felt like he'd been slapped, his expression freezing. “Learn from Blake'
Third Person's POV Nick watched Catherine leave, a strange gleam in his eyes. Although their encounter was brief, Catherine's figure was deeply branded in his heart. For some reason, Nick felt his heart beating accelerate, and a long-lost fervor began to spread in his chest. He realized that this sudden emotional fluctuation left him somewhat at a loss. Nick took a deep breath, trying to suppress the restless emotions within, and continued up the stairs. When he saw Emerson's weakened face, he couldn't help but think, 'Emily was right. Emerson's health was indeed getting worse.' "Grandpa, how have you been feeling lately?" Nick asked with concern, his face full of worry. Emerson shook his head and sighed, "Not too well. How about you? Is everything going smoothly with the company?" "Thanks to your help, everything is going quite well. But... I've run into some trouble," Nick's face showed a hint of frustration as he said, "Perhaps it's because I don't have extensive c
Third Person's POV "What?" Leo blurted out, his face losing all color and turning pale instantly. His fingers clenched tightly, the knuckles cracking from the force. "How could this be? That was my birthday!" Blake noticed Leo's pale complexion, understanding the immense shock he was under. He soothed in a low voice, "Alright, it's been so long. Just let it go." "Ha, I just want to give up and not care. If he was going to be reckless, then let him be. The image of my father in my heart has long been blurred," Leo's heart was filled with sorrow. On his birthday, he had been eagerly expecting his father to come back to eat cake and blow out candles, but what about him? He had gone to see that woman and lost his life because of it. Blake was naturally also full of resentment, but dwelling on the past would only exhaust them. "He was wrong, but he was our father. If even we don't care, he will die in vain, and the murderer will go unpunished. I can't stand that outcome." Bl
Third Person's POVSunny then took a good look at herself from head to toe. 'Oh no, how had me let myself look like a ghost?'"Wait a moment, I'll tidy up!" Sunny said, then ran into her bedroom and shut the door behind her.Leo frowned. Was this woman really planning to give up on herself entirely?Sunny picked out a decent-looking outfit from her wardrobe, washed her face, combed her long hair, and came out again. To her embarrassment, she saw Leo bending down to clean up the snacks on her desk. His noble figure, squatting on the ground with his fingers meticulously picking up the mess, made Sunny feel utterly mortified."Did you live this poorly when you were alone?" Leo asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he continued to clean.Sunny quickly rushed over to help, replying in a low voice, "Of course not. I was doing fine before. It's just that I've been in a bad mood these past few days and haven't been tidying up.""Breaking
Third Person's POVSunny had been hiding at home, avoiding the light like a mouse. She felt like she had ruined her life. Everything was a mess. Her dreams, her future—all of it seemed bleak. Maybe Moira and Melissa were right. She wasn't the same person she used to be.The failure of a relationship could truly change someone.Every time Sunny thought about the things Leo had said in the hospital, her head ached, and her heart hurt. The higher she had been lifted, the harder she had fallen. She had learned that lesson the hard way.The sky outside darkened again. Sunny opened a small corner of the curtain and stared blankly at the lights outside.She wondered if she should take advantage of the darkness to go out for a walk.'At this time, no one would recognize me, right?' she thought.Sunny checked her bank account balance and realized it wasn't much. When she was with Leo, she had relied on him for food, clothing, and other e
Third Person's POVWhen Richard saw that Blake didn't want to bring up the past, he was slightly surprised. He had expected Blake to revisit old grievances and hold him accountable.Emerson, with a look of relief, praised Blake. "Blake, you have a generous heart. Let's not dwell on the past anymore. You are uncle and nephew, and you should support each other, not harbor resentment."Blake, mindful of Emerson's feelings, nodded. "We are family, and we shouldn't treat each other like enemies."Richard, however, felt uneasy. He realized that he was increasingly becoming an outsider in the Royal Pack. The affection and importance that Emerson and Patricia placed on Blake far surpassed what they had for him, their own son.He suspected that even his own son, Nick, might feel that he had lost his place in his grandparents' hearts."Richard, you and Emerson haven't seen each other in so long. You must have a lot to talk about. I'll leave you to it,
Third Person's POVCatherine thought for a moment and replied, "It's like the handsome guys you see in cartoons.""Okay! Can you draw it for me now, Mommy?" Hedwig was a girl of action. Once she got an idea, she had to see it through. It was unclear who she had inherited this trait from.Catherine picked up a blank sheet of paper and a pencil, glancing helplessly at the man beside her, who was smirking. He really knew how to give her extra work.Blake leaned down, his lips brushing her ear as he whispered, "Are you really going to draw me?""Mm-hmm, I'll draw a picture of you taking a shower," Catherine said, her smile tinged with mischief.Blake knew she was teasing him. He raised an eyebrow slightly. "Sure, but if you forget how I look, I can give you a live demonstration tonight."Catherine's face flushed instantly. She glared at him, her eyes narrowing.Meanwhile, Noah, who was practicing his writing nearby, overheard their
Third Person's POV"You and Noah came from my belly, not from a box.""Oh, then who put us in your belly? Was it the 'heaven' you mentioned earlier?" Hedwig asked, her big eyes wide with curiosity.Catherine was genuinely stumped this time. She touched her chin, pretending to think deeply. "Uh, well... you'll understand when you grow up. It's not something we can talk about now."She couldn't possibly say that Blake had "put them there." If she did, Hedwig's next question would undoubtedly be, "How did Daddy put us in your belly?" Catherine's head was already spinning at the thought.Patricia walked in carrying a plate of fruit. When she saw Hedwig's paint-smeared face, she burst out laughing. "Oh my, when did we get a little calico cat in the house?""Great-grandma, where's the cat? Can I see it?" Hedwig asked, her face lighting up at the mention of a cat."The little calico cat is you! Look at your face—it's covered in paint!"
Third Person's POVBlake sneered, his voice laced with sarcasm. "Do you really think someone who could kill his own brother has any conscience left? He's always resented Grandpa for favoring Dad. If he finds out about Grandpa's condition, the first thing he'll do is fight for Grandpa's shares."Leo's expression darkened. He realized he had been naive to think Richard might have a change of heart."Blake, then we absolutely can't let him know about Grandpa's condition. If he finds out, he won't care about Grandpa's life at all!" Leo said, his voice filled with anger."He's arriving tonight. Do you want to come and see him?" Blake asked coldly.Leo shook his head. "I don't want to see him. I'm afraid I might lose control and kill him.""You need to stay calm. He's a dog, but you're not. You don't bite randomly," Blake said, lecturing Leo.Leo knew he wouldn't actually kill anyone, but his temper was fiery. If he saw Richard, he might no
Third Person's POV"I found out not long ago. Before that, I also asked the doctor about Grandpa's condition every day, and he always told me Grandpa was doing well," Blake explained, his voice strained with grief."That quack! How dare he lie to us? Does he think we're fools? He should be ashamed of himself!" Leo shouted, his anger boiling over."Yelling at him won't help. Grandpa and Grandma made this decision together," Blake said calmly."Grandpa is so stubborn. How could he keep something like this from us? Does he want us to feel guilty for the rest of our lives?" Leo's anger shifted to his grandfather."Grandpa just doesn't want us to grieve for him. I think any parent would want to spare their children that pain," Blake said.Leo realized there was no one left to blame. He sighed, his eyes filled with despair. "Then what can we do now? Blake, tell me."Blake looked at him steadily, then sighed. "At least, while Grandpa is stil
Third Person's POVSunny had obtained Olivia's recording, yet she hadn't handed it over to him immediately. She was still protecting Olivia. It seemed that in the face of love and family bonds, there was still a distinction in importance.Clearly, her feelings for him were far less significant than the familial ties she had with Olivia.Or perhaps, there was no comparison to be made at all.Leo's heart was like a chaotic storm, agitated and bewildered, searching for a reason to calm down.Upon reaching the base of the Imperial Building, Leo strode straight in and marched towards Blake's private elevator.As the second son of the Royal Pack, Leo had never concealed his identity. Thus, as he strode through the lobby, he attracted only envious glances from women.Even though Leo's expression was cold, his fervent female fans still pursued him relentlessly.Perhaps it was Leo's taut expression, coupled with the band-aids on his fac
Third Person's POVSunny let out a bitter laugh. "You really think too highly of me. Actually, I've already broken up with him, and I don't plan to be a star anymore. You can go back now.""Sunny, aren't you really considering your future? You're already famous now. Once you become well-known, it's hard to go back to your simple life. No matter where you go, people will pay attention to you. Instead of being ridiculed, why not hold your head high and be your own queen? You have the potential. You're very beautiful!" Melissa kept persuading her.Sunny's mind went blank. Where was her future? She really hadn't thought about it at all.She used to simply want to earn more money to improve her quality of life, travel when she had time, and treat herself to delicious food for her hard work. But now? She didn't dare to think about anything."A single romance has beaten you down like this. You don't seem like the Sunny I know. You used to be so brave and
