Blake's POV
After my two friends left, I could finally work in peace until 4 pm in the afternoon. Noah and Hedwig had left the werewolf school. I asked Dowen to send them to the mall. Noah and Hedwig got out of the car and found no one in the brightly lit hall. Their black eyes widened in disbelief. "Noah, why is no one here? Did daddy bring us to the wrong place?" Hedwig instantly felt a sense of loss. Noah looked around with his big eyes and said, "No. See? The shops above are open." While Noah and Hedwig were talking to themselves, I had already bent down and followed them out of the car. "Daddy, where are the people here? How come there's nobody here? Have they been taken away by monsters? I'm so scared!" Hedwig sat firmly on my strong arm while putting her two short arms around my neck. She looked around in a panic. Hedwig's naive and frank words immediately amused my subordinates. I comforted her, "They haven't bBlake's POV In a spacious corridor on the fifth floor, Noah and Hedwig suddenly stopped. Two pairs of big eyes stared at the row of jewelry stores ahead. Hedwig looked at the shiny jewelry. Her two big eyes lit up. "They are so beautiful!" Though Hedwig was still at such a young age, she favored such shiny things already. "Mommy likes them as well!" Noah also leaned against the glass and looked at the jewelry. Henry laughed out loud at once. "King Blake, it seems that children also like these shiny things." "You're right. It's a shame that Hedwig is too young. Otherwise, I would have bought something for her," I said emotionally. "Daddy, daddy, come here!" Hedwig looked back and saw me standing behind her. She immediately waved her little hands at me. I immediately stepped forward and stood beside Hedwig, bending down and admiring the jewelry together with her. "Daddy, will you buy me anything I want?" Hedwig suddenly raised her fa
Catherine's POV Blake took Noah and Hedwig shopping at the mall today. I got to work quietly for a while after coming back. It was getting late. I was drawing in my room when I heard Hedwig's happy voice from afar. I guessed that she was so happy because she had bought a lot of toys. I put down my pen and quickly walked to the door. When I opened the door, a soft, delicate body pounced on me. She hugged my leg. "Mommy, come downstairs now..." One of my fingers was held tightly by her small hand. She pulled me downstairs with force. I smiled as I saw how excited Hedwig was. As long as the kids were having fun, I wouldn't say no to them hanging out with that man anymore. In the parlor, high on the roof, a huge chandelier was lit up, and the lights were bright. I saw the man sitting on the sofa. He turned his head and looked at me. Our eyes met for only a second before I quickly lowered my head and looked at the stairs.
Catherine's POV "Hedwig, Noah, come and wash your hands," I said to them. The two kids immediately sprang over. As I washed their hands, Noah looked up and asked, "Mommy, are you still angry?" "No, I'm okay now!" I took a towel and wiped their hands clean. "I'm glad you always think of me. I was a little harsh to you just now because I hope you'll bear in mind never take anything that does not belong to you. No matter how valuable it is, no matter how much you like it, you just can't take it. Do you understand?" Noah immediately nodded. "I got it!" Hedwig also nodded, but maybe she still didn't understand what I meant. After helping Noah and Hedwig wash up, I held their hands and led them to the table. Blake fixed his eyes on me. I couldn't tell what exactly he was thinking, but I bet he had some bad ideas. I glanced at him snappily. I caught a glimpse of his smiling lips. My heart beat wildly. Why did I have such a we
Catherine's POV It was soon noon. In a high-end restaurant in downtown Sayreville, all the tables were reserved by the Chavez Group. King Blake would treat us there. Melinda led everyone in our department. We stood at the entrance of the restaurant, waiting for Blake. These female werewolves were usually cool when they were working, but now, they were so excited that their hands and feet were trembling. A few young and beautiful girls had put on delicate makeup, hoping that Blake might fall in love with them at first sight. Around 12 pm, Blake's fleet stopped outside the restaurant, and he came with several subordinates. I could recognize his Beta, Henry. And it seemed that his Gamma also came. I lowered my head and stood behind the crowd. I could feel that when Blake passed by, his gaze rested on me for a few seconds. "King Blake, we are really honored to be the first to enjoy the company's new benefit." Melinda walke
Catherine's POV I heard the colleagues around me exclaiming. I looked over unhappily. Why was Gina here at this time? Gina walked over to me. I glanced at her and said, "What do you want?" Gina, who had been cocky, immediately changed her tone. She became a little gentler. "Cathy, get in the car. I have something to tell you." "I still have work to do. I don't have time." In fact, I was lying. I just didn't want to talk to her. Everyone there was staring at me. In their opinion, I was putting on airs while Gina came to me personally, which was very baffling. Of course, those people only thought so because they didn't know about the history between Gina and me. "Catherine, are you sure you want to talk about things between us here?" Gina threatened. When I heard this, I couldn't help but freeze. Gina and I had nothing to talk about at first. But ever since I brought up the matter with Blake five years ago, Gina seemed t
Catherine's POV "Dowen, what happened to Hedwig? Do you know something?" I asked curiously. Dowen replied honestly, "The Princess has been like this after King Blake sent her back this afternoon. I don't know what happened either. Maybe she was frightened." My brows couldn't help but twitch. It was the same time that Eva told me that something was wrong with Hedwig. But what exactly happened to Hedwig? I looked up and saw that Dowen was still looking at me, so I smiled and said, "OK. I'll take her upstairs to play with Noah." Dowen nodded and went off to do something else. I squatted down and smiled at Hedwig. "Hedwig, come here. Let's go upstairs to find Noah and let him play with you, OK?" "Mommy, I don't want to play... I want to wait for daddy to come back." Hedwig said in a low voice, as if she was afraid. "Your daddy won't be back so soon. Mommy will play with you for a while, OK?" I still smiled gently. Hedwig im
Catherine's POV After I chatted with Eva for a while, I felt better. I couldn't just let it get to me. Since Blake wouldn't tell me the truth, I would find out about it on my own. At dinner, Noah and I were the only ones at the table. I questioned Noah sternly. I frowned more deeply when I saw Noah sighing. Usually, Noah could eat a plate of food. Yet today, he only had a little. "Noah, what's wrong?" I reached out and stroked his head. Noah glanced at me and sighed again. "Where did daddy take Hedwig? Were they out to eat something good?" I realized that Noah wanted to go out to eat with Blake. "Noah, if you tell me what happened to Hedwig at school today, I'll tell you what daddy took her to eat." I learned to be smart enough to know that I should exchange conditions with Noah. Noah had been dejected just now. When he heard my words, he immediately sat up straight and shook his head firmly. "Mommy, stop asking me. I really d
Catherine's POV I looked back and frowned. "Don't get me wrong. I only agreed to raise the kids together with you. I didn't mean anything else." "So, will you try to get along with me?" asked Blake. I straightened my long hair, turned my head, stared at the scenery in the distance, and said indifferently, "I won't make things difficult for you anymore. As long as you behave yourself, we can live peacefully." "What do you mean by behaving myself? Can you be more specific?" His lips rose, and he couldn't help but take a few steps closer to me. I turned around and looked at him with vigilance. "You can't go over anything that the kids are not involved in. Last time, you... It was ... out of line." I wanted to say that he kissed me last time, but I just could not say those words bluntly. It was so embarrassing. "Last time? What do you mean?" Blake pretended he didn't understand and looked curious. I felt that I was blushing. I hel
