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
Third People's POV After what happened last time, Emerson's condition got worse quickly. Blake did not know if Richard would ever regret what he did. Right now, Blake simply wanted to spare Emerson any regrets. Then, it was time for him to settle accounts with Richard and Nick. Therefore, with Catherine's consent, in less than a month, he and Catherine sent out wedding invitations after their engagement. Abigail and Patricia gave Catherine a white wedding dress that cost nearly 10 million with thousands of diamonds on it. Catherine was so moved that her eyes turned red after learning that Abigail and Patricia had given her such a precious gift. Their ring had been custom-made a long time ago. It was a rarity with only the best diamonds, and it took the most skilled craftsmen nearly a month to polish. The ring, which had yet to be named, was finally given a name by the purchaser, Blake, and he called it "the one". It was Catherine's wedding
Catherine's POV In the morning, the sun was shining brightly. In this month of snow, it was a rare sunny day today. On this day, the love story between Blake and me finally had a perfect result. We were going to be engaged. This made the whole city excited. Everyone was talking about it, looking forward to seeing the scene of our engagement banquet. Blake prepared this engagement banquet in a hurry. In his view, everything was not perfect, but he was already doing his best to do everything. The Moon Goddess could vouch for me. I didn't care about this. As long as he was by my side, I would be satisfied. Emerson was very happy and very pleased. He could finally see his grandson getting married. At my engagement party, Abigail was present, but Halsey could not come. Because he did not want to ruin my engagement party. Today was the engagement party. It was not our wedding yet, so I did not wear a white wedding dress. I only wore a dar
Third People's POV The next morning, the news of Blake and Catherine's engagement was spread. It was not discovered by the reporters. Instead, because the Chavez Pack had sent the invitations early in the morning, the people who were invited would naturally talk about it. Thus, some media outlets took the opportunity to report it. They did not exaggerate the engagement banquet and simply reported it. The media and reporters were smart enough and knew clearly about what they could report unrestrainedly and whom they couldn't afford to offend. Blake was a good example. The rumors about him on the internet would always be removed in less than an hour. Therefore, if someone was ignorant and posted something about Blake randomly, he would never be able to bear the consequences. He would lose his job, implicated the entire company he was in, and even go to jail. Emily browsed the news on the internet with an ashen face. Blake and Catherine were about to get engaged.
Blake's POV Inside the manor. Richard stayed for dinner. Nick was also called back by Patricia. Patricia called Leo, but Leo rejected her. Patricia scolded Leo for that. Leo was depressed and went to eat with Sunny. Because of Olivia, the relationship between him and Sunny had been bumpy recently. Since it was a family dinner, Catherine had to bring the children downstairs. Richard was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Nick. I sat next to him as the host. I was already Lycan King. I had the final say in the entire royal wolf pack. Therefore, Richard and Nick didn't seem happy. After Catherine brought the two children downstairs, Nick's eyes focused on her. Catherine wore a long white knitted coat. Her long hair hung on her back. She looked sweet and warm. My gaze inadvertently swept across Nick's face, which was filled with obsession. Although he quickly put that look away, I saw it clearly. I became wary. How dare he covet my woman in
Blake's POV The night fell. I returned home at six o'clock in the evening. My face was cloudy. At this time, Richard should have arrived home. The car stopped outside Mountaintop Villa. I strode into the parlor. Dowen quickly came over and greeted me. "Is Richard here?" I asked in a low voice. Dowen pointed upstairs. "He just arrived. Now he is talking to Emerson and Patricia upstairs." I frowned deeply and snorted in my heart. I had made a difficult decision that I would not do anything to Richard when Emerson was still alive. However, if he kept making trouble, I wouldn't show any mercy to him. I climbed the stairs. I did not go up to see Emerson and Patricia immediately. Instead, I walked to the toy room. Then, I saw two little guys quietly practicing writing and drawing. Catherine sat gently on one side and was teaching them. Under the warm light, the scene of two children staying with their mom looked sweet. "Daddy
Blake's POV I had heard the news from my assistant and knew that Leo had come to see me. When I saw Leo push the door open, I immediately frowned. "How much did you drink?" "I have something very important to tell you!" After Leo finished speaking, he raised a mobile phone. "This is Sunny's phone. She went to see Olivia and recorded Olivia's statement. It seemed that Richard was really behind it." "Play it, now!" My face instantly darkened and my voice was urgent. Leo clicked the recording. After the two of us listened to it, Leo said coldly, "This is the evidence. We can send Richard to prison again. The werewolf court will give him the trial he deserves." "Leo, I also have something to tell you!" I was very angry after listening to the recording, but I could not be impulsive. After a few seconds of silence, I finally made a decision. When Leo saw that I didn't react the way he did, his expression changed greatly and suppressed his anger.
Third People's POV At noon, the sun hid in the clouds and the sky was dark as if there would be a blizzard at any time. Emily paced back and forth in the room uneasily. She had someone keep an eye on the development of the accident. She didn't expect that the accident would end in just a few days. The family of the deceased accepted Blake's large sum of compensation. The man she picked was still held at the police station. Thus, Emily felt as if she was waiting for the coming of death. She felt sadder day by day. The man had received 100,000 from Emily. Emily believed that she would be investigated soon. However, she didn't understand why the police hadn't called her yet. This matter had already come to an end. On the night that the man was arrested, he confessed everything. The police found out that the man had several bank accounts. Although he received the money in batches, there were 100,000 in total. The money and the man's ambiguous attitud
Catherine's POV It was early in the morning. At breakfast, Blake brought up the engagement. The others were very supportive. No one had any objections. Emerson was simply thrilled. He rarely came down to have breakfast with us. Hearing that Blake and I were going to get engaged, he said excitedly, "That's great! The sooner the better!" Hedwig stirred the oats in her bowl, pouted, and asked, " Daddy, Mommy, after you get engaged, can I have a younger sister?" Everyone was amused by her words. I was the only exception. I blushed. Blake's gaze swept across my face, and he gently put his arm around my slender waist under the table. I was startled and quickly pushed his unruly hand away. "Hedwig, no talking when eating. Have you forgotten?" I was worried that Hedwig might say something blunter, so I reprimanded her softly. "I'm sorry, Mommy." Hedwig immediately became obedient again. "Catherine, are you on vacation? I
Catherine's POV Blake went to work early the next morning. Suddenly, my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and found that it was Halsey. I was very glad to receive his call. "Halsey, why are you back so suddenly? You should have told me in advance." "It was a last-minute call. Can we have dinner together tonight? It would be even better if you could bring the kids together with you," Halsey said gently. I hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "Let me ask Blake. If he doesn't want me to bring the kids out, I will come alone." "Alright. See you tonight." Halsey hung up the phone. Then I called Blake and told him about the call with Halsey. There was a bit of displeasure in Blake's tone. "Is he back?" "Yes. Can I bring the kids to eat with him?" I asked him nicely, wanting to know his opinion. "At a time like this, I don't think you should take the kids out." Blake still blamed Halsey. I didn't insist. "OK then. I
