Blake's POV After Catherine left, I was not in the mood to work anymore. I lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and looked up at the closed door. The door wasn't pushed open again till midnight. It meant that she gave up on the idea of making a deal with me. At the thought of this, I was even more upset. She was so ridiculous. She acted as if nothing had ever happened after tempting me. The next morning, she held Hedwig's hand and walked into the dining room. I sat at the dining table. Noah was sitting next to me, already having his breakfast. "Morning, mommy!" Noah greeted her smilingly. "Morning!" Catherine patted Noah's head. "Noah, I dreamed of you last night!" Hedwig said with a smile. "What was I doing?" Noah asked curiously. Hedwig immediately said loudly, "You were taking a dump on the bed in my dream. It was so stinky that I woke up." I was eating, and her words almost made me choke. Catherine could not help but chuckle. Noah turned pale with anger, poi
Blake's POV After kissing Catherine this morning, I was in a particularly good mood. A day of tense and busy work passed again, and I went home early to accompany Noah and Hedwig. When Catherine walked into the parlor, I was watching the kids playing and enjoying themselves. "I'm so happy to finally have a holiday tomorrow!" Noah was jumping around in the parlor, talking non-stop. Hedwig ran beside him with a smile. "Noah, I want to go for a picnic tomorrow. What do you think?" "Sure! I'm already excited!" Noah had a rare look of childlike innocence on his face. "Noah, let's go for a picnic. And we should let daddy and mommy come with us together. I'm sure it'll be fun!" said Hedwig. "What are you little things talking about?" Catherine came in and asked with a smile. "Mommy, you came back just in time. Noah and I are talking about having a picnic tomorrow." Hedwig smiled happily when she saw Catherine. Then she held Catherine's hand tightly and looked up at Catheri
Blake's POV When the kids heard that there was a picnic tomorrow, they were so happy and ran back and forth in the parlor. For now, I shared my room with Noah on the second floor. Our room was next to Catherine and Hedwig's room. I went to the second floor and stood at the door of my room. Suddenly, someone opened the door next to the room and didn't close it. The feeling of kissing Catherine this morning flashed across my mind. Her lips were soft and fragrant, with the sweet smell of milk. I was addicted to kissing her at once. I didn't know if it was because I hadn't found my mate for too long. Yet somehow, I felt that the kiss made me lose control in the blink of an eye. My wolf began to stir again, and I also felt suffocated. I reached out and wanted to push open the door, while someone beat me to it. Catherine had changed from her suits and stood in front of me in a loose blouse. My hand that was about to push open the door froze in midair. When I saw the tw
Catherine's POV I was forced to agree to Blake's terms, and I was about to leave in frustration. But I still felt unwilling. After a few steps, I suddenly turned back and asked, "Blake, tell me, are you seeing someone?" Blake was stunned and frowned slightly. "Who said that?" "No one. I just want to hear it from you." I didn't want to tell him that when he was drunk that night, I heard something I shouldn't have heard. "No. You are the first so far," Blake said seriously. I could not be sure whether he was telling the truth. I frowned. "The deal is off once I find out you're lying." "Don't worry. There will be no other woman," replied Blake. When I met his firm eyes, my heart trembled slightly. His eyes were deep and glowing, making my face a bit hot. I didn't dare to look him in the eye anymore. I quickly turned around and went downstairs in a panic. After dinner, I took my son and daughter for a walk in the garden. "Mommy, when we were eating just now, I foun
Catherine's POV I heard Blake laugh behind, so I quickened my pace to catch up with Noah and Hedwig. "Mommy, do you have a fever?" asked Hedwig, looking at me as I ran to them. Noah also cried out in concern, "Mommy, your face is burning. I remember that when stupid Hedwig was having a fever, her face was also like that." My body froze. Then I heard someone laughing even louder. Noah's concern put me in a very awkward situation. "I'm not sick. I just ran too fast. Go ahead. Remember. Be careful!" I reached out and touched my face. It was indeed burning. It was all Blake's fault. Why did he say those things to me? After half an hour, the four of us finally arrived at the picnic spot, which was a large lawn located at the mountainside. The grass was green, and the view was very nice. It offered views of downtown Sayreville down the hill and the surrounding nature. "Mommy, look! It's so beautiful. Take selfies with me." Hedwig loved beautiful things and naturally wo
Catherine's POV Blake pulled a long face when he heard what I called him. "Don't you think you should change the way you call me?" "What should I call you?" I curled my lips in disapproval. "Just Blake," Blake said in a deep and hoarse voice, mixed with a hint of expectation. I stood up from his side and said lightly, "Whatever. I can call you whatever I want. It's just a name." "Cathy..." Just as I was about to walk away to admire the scenery, I suddenly heard Blake's deep voice coming from behind. I froze and turned to look at him. "This is how I am gonna call you from now on!" I stared at him in disbelief. His handsome face was slightly raised. With the sunlight reflected in his golden eyes, they were deadly charming. "Whatever!" I suddenly felt numb and itchy, and I was even about to have goosebumps. Did he have to call me that? It sounded so intimate. It made me uncomfortable all over. I quickly walked away from Blake and went to Noah and Hedwig. They were
Catherine's POV Blake stroked Noah's head and said, "Help me out here and talk to Hedwig. Your mommy and I are going out. You two should stay home and wait for us." Noah immediately narrowed his big dark eyes. "You're going out together? To where?" Seeing Noah's suspicious look, I felt guilty somehow and coughed. "We're meeting some friends. We will be back soon." "Don't come back so soon. It's so rare that you two go out together. You should spend some more time outside," Noah immediately said while scheming. Hedwig glared at Noah and said, "Noah, don't you want to tag along? Daddy and mommy are leaving us behind." "Stupid Hedwig, don't go with them. You will be the third wheel. I will play with you. Let's go find Chestnut." Noah was indeed Blake's wingman. He immediately held Hedwig's hand. "Let's go. Come on!" "But..." Hedwig still looked unwilling. "But what? Chestnut must be starving. I'm sure it misses you very much. Come with me." Noah dragged Hedwig away with
Catherine's POV The shop assistant heard my words, and her expression changed. But she didn't apologize to me. Instead, she said arrogantly, "Miss, since you know our products so well, may I ask you something? Are you here today to buy the new arrivals? Or are you here for the ones from previous years? You come here today because you know they're on sale, right?" I didn't expect that after I exposed her lie, she would insult me in return. "You think I can't afford the new ones?" I asked. "I didn't say that. I'm just saying that since you know so much about our products, you must have studied them. If so, won't you be humiliating yourself if you can't afford our new arrivals?" she said disdainfully. I laughed mockingly. "If I hadn't done some diggings about your products, I'd be misled into buying those from previous years." "Check our clothes out. They are flawless. Any of them would make you look good. Why don't you take your pick? After all, there will be no discount
