Blake'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 faCatherine'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
Catherine's POV The next morning, I dragged Hedwig downstairs. She was still half-asleep. Yesterday, Hedwig slept for a while, and then she woke up at about 12 am. After I helped her take a bath, she refused to sleep anymore. She kept bouncing on the bed until it was past 2 am. And then she continued to sleep. I kept accompanying Hedwig, so I did not sleep well. I was so sleepy right now. Noah sat at the dining table, and he made his hair exactly like Blake's. Though I disliked it, I did not mess up his hairstyle. Since Noah wanted to imitate Blake, I wouldn't stand in his way. "Mommy, are you going to take us to school later?" Last night, I lectured Hedwig and then promised to squeeze some time to send her and Noah to school in the future. Therefore, she started to pester me though it was still early in the morning. I was in a dilemma, because I still had a regular meeting in the morning. I didn't want to give others an excuse to point fingers at
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
Third Person's POV"Pregnant?" Sunny's mind buzzed, going blank for a moment, then she hurriedly said, "That should be quite unlikely. We always took precautions.""I know, but precautions aren't one hundred percent effective. I'm just looking out for you because there are many medications that pregnant women shouldn't take." The doctor patiently explained to her."Oh! Alright then." Sunny's expression stiffened slightly, and then she was forced to recall every moment she was with Leo, thinking of those blush-inducing and heart-racing scenes, her pale cheeks flushed with a rosy hue.Leo sat on the sofa outside the door, and as soon as he saw her come out, he immediately asked, "Did you get the medicine?""The doctor wants me to get a blood test. She's worried I might be pregnant." Sunny let out a bitter smile."What?" Leo's eyes lit up instantly.For werewolves, the conception of new life is a joyous event for the family, and having a
Third Person's POV"Damn it!" Leo's heart lurched at the high-temperature reading, and he cursed under his breath.He rummaged through the first-aid kit but found no spare fever-reducing medicine.With Sunny in her current state, if her fever didn't subside quickly, she could end up delirious.Leo glanced at the time. It was a little after three in the morning. Where could he find an open pharmacy at this hour?Should he take her to the hospital? After a moment's thought, he decided to call his assistant instead.The assistant, groggy from sleep, was jolted awake by the urgent call. He quickly dressed and rushed to the hospital to fetch the medicine.Leo made a silent vow to reward his assistant handsomely for this.At five in the morning, the assistant arrived with the fever-reducing medicine.Leo expressed his gratitude, and the assistant was touched. He hadn't expected his usually aloof boss to become so considerate.With the medicine in hand, Leo brought a glass of warm water and
