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 suHe 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 POV Leo strode up behind her, his deep eyes fixed on her pale face, devoid of any color. Then, with arms as strong as pincers, he pulled her into his embrace, feeling as if he was holding a block of ice. This woman was radiating cold. Was she not concerned about her own life? "You..." Sunny didn't expect him to hold her suddenly. The words she was about to say instantly stuck in her throat, so she just stayed still in his arms. Two seconds later, Leo took her into the hall, shutting the cold outside, his handsome face as cold as frost, extremely unpleasant, and he questioned, "Do you want to die?" Sunny was stunned for a moment and quickly shook her head. "Of course not, I just..." "Don't think that if you get sick, I won't force you to go find Olivia!" Leo misinterpreted her words to mean what he thought. "..." Well, she didn't think that much. She was just feeling upset, took her phone and listened to that recording twice, feeling more and more that O
Third Person's POV Catherine let out a soft laugh, "How did you notice that?" "Can't you feel that his gaze on you is ill-intentioned?" Blake asked her with a hint of discontent. "Of course. I just ignore him." "From now on, you need to stay far away from him and never see him again, understand?" Blake seemed to have reminded her before, but at this moment, he still couldn't help but warn her again. "By the way, there's something I should tell you. While you were abroad, Troy called me and invited me to dinner." Catherine hadn't mentioned it before because she didn't think it was necessary. But since he was so concerned about her meeting with Nick, she decided to be honest. If he found out later, there might be a misunderstanding. Blake's deep eyes narrowed as he stared at her somewhat anxious face. His tone carried a hint of annoyance, "Why did you go to see him? Have you forgotten how he insulted you before? Those unpleasant words. If it weren't for the fact tha
Third Person's POV "Tonight, I'd like to have dinner with Catherine and the children. I'm not sure if Blake will agree," Halsey said, a hint of worry in his voice. "If it's difficult for you to talk to him, I can ask him," Abigail thought that if Halsey called Blake, he might be refused, but if she spoke to him, there might be a glimmer of hope. "I don't want to put you in a difficult position. Forget it. If I can't see the children, then seeing Catherine would be nice. I really want to see her," Halsey chuckled softly. "Alright, you father and daughter should have a get-together, and I won't join," Abigail replied. "Okay, I'll call Catherine later and ask her," Halsey nodded. Even though he wished Abigail could come along, he felt it wasn't quite appropriate. Upon receiving Halsey's call, Catherine was delighted. "Dad, why have you suddenly returned? You didn't give me a heads up." "I decided to come back on a whim. Can we have dinner together tonight? It would be wonder
Third Person's POV Catherine was well aware that Halsey must have also longed to see his grandchildren. "I'm not angry, just a bit disappointed. After all, I can't come back often, and I really want to see them," Halsey's words carried a hint of bitterness and sadness. "Dad, I'll have the little ones call you more often. Hedwig is quite the chatterbox," Catherine comforted. "Yes, that little one is indeed interesting. Catherine, you must have been this cute when you were little. Seeing Hedwig reminds me of you when you were her age," Halsey said, his eyes reddening and his heart filled with inexplicable sadness and self-reproach. "I can't be as cute as Hedwig. I was quite naughty and wild when I was a child," Catherine said with a smile. "By the way, Catherine, I've been thinking. You don't have to take my surname. Keep Wyatt. It will avoid gossip. Besides, you were raised by the Wyatt family, so it's fitting to keep their name, not forgetting your roots," Halsey said. Ca
Third Person's POVRichard said mysteriously, "Just wait and see. Someone will expose it.""Isn't it supposed to be made public?" Nick asked curiously."If it were made public, Emerson might just be so angry that he'd die," Richard glanced in the direction of Emerson.Nick nodded in agreement. "His condition does seem really serious. Dad, are you starting to care about Emerson?""I just don't want him to collapse so soon," a complex expression flickered across Richard's face.Nick let out a cold laugh. "I thought your hatred for him had already faded.""He gave me life, but at the same time, he subjected me to countless blows and torments. I don't even know whether to hate him or respect him," Richard snorted coldly.At that moment, the sound of flattery from the crowd outside the main door could be heard. Nick looked over and saw Blake and Catherine walking in, receiving everyone's congratulations.Since it was an engag
Third Person's POVThe morning sun shone brightly. After a month of continuous winter snow, the city finally welcomed such a sunny day.On this day, the entire city was buzzing with excitement over the Royal Pack's joyous occasion—Blake and Catherine's long-awaited engagement was finally coming to fruition.The news had the city abuzz with anticipation, as everyone eagerly awaited photos or videos from the engagement party, curious to see just how luxurious and dazzling a high-society event could be.In reality, Blake had prepared for the engagement party somewhat hastily. In his eyes, many aspects were far from perfect, but he had done his utmost to make everything as good as it could be.Emerson was particularly delighted and felt a deep sense of relief, knowing that he would witness his grandson's engagement in his lifetime, leaving him with no regrets.Abigail attended Catherine's engagement party, but Halsey was unable to make it
Third Person's POVBlake, too, wished they could keep kissing forever. But he was also worried that he might make it hard for her to breathe.Catherine's pretty face flushed with pink. Blake reluctantly let her go."I'm going to take a shower. Wait for me!" Blake had a knack for easily unsettling her. Just that one word, "wait for me," seemed to encompass all the sweet nothings.Catherine's heart fluttered slightly as she watched his figure disappear into the bathroom. She suddenly felt the bedroom was empty and didn't know what to do next.At that moment, her phone rang, signaling a new message.Catherine walked over and saw that the message was from Harley. She was taken aback for a moment but still picked up her phone to check it."Catherine, congratulations!" The message was simple, yet it was filled with his affection for her.Catherine understood the weight behind those few words and sighed softly.She remembered H
Third Person's POV"Mirabel, I have to ask, these two men, you didn't hire them, did you?" the assistant asked nervously.Mirabel's face froze for a second, and she turned her head to glare at the assistant fiercely. "Don't talk nonsense. This has nothing to do with me!"The assistant shrank back, quickly forcing a smile. "Good, I'm glad it's not related. Mirabel, I wonder who Sunny offended this time. It seems like there are quite a few people who want to get back at her."Mirabel narrowed her eyes, clenching her fists in anger. She thought to herself that since Sunny had escaped this time, she wouldn't be so lucky next time.In fact, these two thugs were indeed hired by Mirabel.She had originally planned to grab Sunny, humiliate her thoroughly, and make her feel unclean, so she would be too ashamed to pursue Leo anymore.But now, things had gone beyond her expectations.Sunny had good fighting skills and had fought against t
Third Person's POVA hint of embarrassment flickered across Sunny's face. Although she had courage and fighting skills, these didn't seem like things worth boasting about in front of the man she liked.What if Leo didn't like such a strong woman? Would he be put off by her?"Rest assured, I only fight bad guys. I would never raise a fist to you," Sunny said with a forced laugh.Leo, however, chuckled softly. "If one day I really become too much of a jerk, you'd have every right to teach me a lesson. I wouldn't have a word to say."Sunny just shook her head and remained silent. Of course, she could never bring herself to hit the man she liked."From this video, we can see the faces of those men. Don't worry, I will definitely catch these two jerks and get revenge for you," Leo said in a low voice, his tone firm."I just want to know why they were after me. Did I really offend someone at some point?" Sunny felt a vague sense of unease.
Third Person's POV"Take me to the hospital. I'm in pain." Sunny was at her breaking point, feeling like she was about to pass out from the agony.Without a word, Leo scooped her up into his arms and hurried towards the door."Close the door. I still have a lot of stuff inside." Sunny gritted her teeth and said.Leo, however, ignored her. "What's more important than your life?"Sunny could only watch helplessly as her front door remained wide open and the elevator doors swiftly closed.Leo held her tighter, noticing the cold sweat streaming down her forehead like a small river. It was then that he realized the extent of her suffering."Who did this? Who stabbed you?" Leo finally had a moment to ask her in a calm but forceful tone.Sunny shook her head. "I don't know. I don't recognize those people."Hearing her words, Leo's face turned ashen, nearly driving him to the brink of madness. She had been attacked by strangers.
Third Person's POVSunny returned home and, after a while of overthinking, decided to go out and buy something to eat.The news of her breakup with Leo had already faded a few days ago. Now, the engagement of Blake and Catherine had taken over the entire internet. The buzz around her had significantly diminished.Sunny put on a mask, went out without makeup, and wore a white woolen coat.She walked along the avenue outside her block, remembering a delicious cupcake shop she had visited before. She hadn't been there in a long time and was craving their food. Maybe her mood had improved, because she felt lighter on her feet, not as burdened as before.After all, Leo had proposed to her, and she was the one who had turned him down.Thinking of this, Sunny let out a quiet breath and felt a fleeting sense of triumph.But such thoughts were short-lived. In the world of love, there are no real winners. As long as one doesn't lose too badly,
Eda's POV"Eda, if only I had met you earlier, I would have always been by your side." Benjamin walked over to me, gently wrapped his arms around me. He held me tightly.I'm a very strong woman. I've hardly ever cried from childhood to now.But at this moment, for some reason, I felt like I needed protection. My heart was as fragile as glass, craving comfort."Yeah, why didn't you show up sooner?" I murmured with a smile, though my voice was a little choked up.Benjamin held me. His tenderness enveloped my heart.The things that scared me were indeed terrifying, but right now, his embrace made me feel safe.He said softly, "Eda, if you're scared, let's not do anything. If you don't want to get married, we'll just keep dating; if you don't want to have kids, we won't have any. I don't want you to face those things that scare you anymore."After hearing his words, I gently pushed him away, blinked my eyes, and asked in disbelief,
Eda's POVI stared at the beautifully designed wedding invitation on my desk. The minimalist yet elegant style exuded a casual and refined vibe.The off-white card was adorned with a light blue ribbon and featured the wedding details of Blake and Catherine in an exquisite font.Blake and Catherine were getting engaged. From the bottom of my heart, I was genuinely happy for them and sent my heartfelt congratulations.They had the courage to step into marriage and continue their sweet love story, which was truly enviable. But at least, I couldn't do it myself.I reached out and touched my still-flat stomach. Besides the occasional waves of nausea, I hardly felt any different. My body seemed to be functioning as usual."Ugh, this is so annoying!" I propped my head up with my hand and fiddled with my bangs, too agitated to focus on work.I felt like I was going through the worst phase of my life."Turns out, enjoying happiness come
