Blake's POV
After I said goodbye to Benjamin, I got into the car with Catherine. Under the cover of the night, our car was rushing home. In the car, Catherine and I sat on opposite sides of the back seat, each thinking. "I hope you weren't offended by what my friends said." Since she sat away from me as soon as she got in the car, I figured that she might be angry. Catherine shook her head. "No. They are all very polite." "I always know who to choose. Friends, women." I smiled proudly. Catherine was stunned and said indifferently, "I can tell." The topic stopped abruptly. The atmosphere in the car became stiff again. "I wonder if the kids are asleep already." I didn't like the stiffness, so I found a topic. Catherine said uncertainly, "Maybe. Noah won't cry, but I'm not sure about Hedwig." I stared at her face and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me about what the kids were like when they were lCatherine's POV Blake didn't answer me. Instead, he smiled drily, picked up Noah, and walked to the bathroom. I also took Hedwig to take a bath. Blake and Noah had not been back when we came out. After a while, he came out with Noah. I looked at Noah with a cold face and pointed to him. "You, go to bed now." Then I pointed to Blake. "Come out with me. I have something to say to you." Blake immediately said to Noah, "Go to sleep. Daddy will come over later." I turned and walked out. "We can talk in my study." Seeing that I was going to the balcony, Blake immediately opened his mouth and said. I was furious, and I couldn't think straight. Hearing that, I immediately turned and walked toward his study. The study was separated from the bedroom by a long distance, so the children should not be able to hear us talking. As soon as I stepped into the study, I turned around abruptly, and I froze in an insta
Catherine's POV Blake opened his eyes, which had once again turned into bright gold. Blake fiercely took a step back. I no longer felt threatened anymore. "I'm sorry..." He raised his head with a regretful expression on his face. I was still sitting on the desk, my heart still beating. He scared me. I thought he would mark me here forcefully. It was so terrifying. I was utterly shocked. "I didn't scare you, did I?" In the deadly quiet study, we could hear the uneven breathing of both of us. Blake seemed to have recovered from the mad state. He looked up and asked me with concern. I still hadn't recovered from the shock just now. My wrist was still slightly hurting from his grip. I didn't want to answer him. I just tried to jump down from the desk. When my feet touched the ground, I felt my legs were so weak that I was going to collapse. I lowered my head and silently walked past Blake. I was about to walk
Catherine's POV "Stop it, Melinda." I looked at Melinda helplessly. Though she was a few years older than me, she could be so immature sometimes. I recalled what happened yesterday and said, "I don't know how to describe it. It was like I stepped on some trigger or something. He suddenly became so terrifying, as if he wanted to eat me alive. He became completely ruthless." "Are you sure you're talking about King Blake?" Melinda became more curious. I nodded. "I am. I didn't know how I offended him last night. He suddenly became so horrifying. I'm still shaking now." "Catherine, personally, King Blake is horrifying in any case." Melinda smiled drily. I thought and realized that Melinda was right. Blake was the CEO of the company and the Lycan King. Everyone was afraid of him. Though he wasn't a terrifying beast, he still intimidated others. I smiled bitterly. "I guess you're right. He's the Lycan King, after all." "Catherine, d
Third person's POV "What are you talking about? Vanessa, don't be unreasonable." Guy immediately lifted the quilt and left the bed. He took out a cigarette and smoked. He took two puffs and looked at Vanessa. "Vanessa, if I didn't love you, why would I meet you here? Use your brain, OK?" Vanessa snorted and said, "If you love me, prove it! Fire Catherine! She makes me sick. She acts like she's some woman who's so pure and harmless every day, but she's actually seducing the werewolves in the Design Department who have no mates! Plus, she stole my clients. She even made a client hate my design last time! I hate her guts. Guy, I don't care. I don't care! You have to let her go. This way, we can be together forever..." "Enough! You wouldn't think so if you knew who was behind her." Vanessa was giving Guy a headache. "Who is it? Stop being so mysterious. Just tell me and see if I'll be startled. If you don't tell me, I will think that you don't love m
Catherine's POV After I had dinner with Melinda, I did not stay outside for too long. I soon went back to lakeside. I worried about my two kids, especially Hedwig, who was so clingy. If I wasn't there for her, she couldn't sleep at all. She would even cry. By the time I rushed back, it was already past nine. As expected, Hedwig was sitting in the parlor, shedding tears. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and cried, "I want mommy. Daddy, can you call mommy and ask her to come back soon?" Blake sat aside and coaxed Hedwig, his face full of distress. Just as Blake was helpless, I walked into the parlor and said, "Hedwig, Mommy is back." "Mommy..." Hedwig ran to me with great grievances. I immediately squatted down and held Hedwig tightly in my arms. Looking at her crying face, I felt so distressed and said, "There, there. Stop crying. Mommy is back, right? Let's go. Mommy will take you upstairs to sleep. You have to go
Catherine's POV I slept soundly. The next morning, I felt refreshed. Maybe it was because Blake apologized to me yesterday, which made me feel less pressure, so I didn't suffer from insomnia again. "Where's your daddy?" I went downstairs and found Noah sitting alone at the table. I couldn't help asking. Noah pointed outside the door and said, "Daddy said he'd skip breakfast because something came up at work." "OK." I frowned. Did he really have something urgent to deal with? Or did he deliberately take off in advance just to avoid the embarrassment? I had no idea. But anyway, he made it a lot easier for me. After breakfast, Dowen sent the children to school. I arrived at the office and began my busy day's work. I had reached a consensus with Melinda, and we had our eyes on several people. So, while I was working, I was also secretly observing. I wanted to find the person who tripped me that day. I had to know. I wouldn
Catherine's POV "Of course! Leo prioritizes his family's company naturally. The Design Department of the Chavez Group belongs to the headquarters of the Chavez Group. If I ask you to be my designer, the money will come back to the Chavez Group eventually. Leo is very shrewd. Anyway, since he introduced me here, I might as well do him a favor. Ms. Wyatt, go get the contract now. I'll sign it and pay the deposit right away." Jessica's words made me feel wry. I suddenly grew fond of her. Surprisingly, she saw through the matter, yet she was still willing to accept such a thing. "Miss Hall, you haven't told me yet. What is it that you're going to work with me?" I couldn't help chuckling. "You're a designer, right? You'll get to decide what I wear in private. You'll design whatever suits me, and I'll wear it, whether it looks good or not. I am young and beautiful, so I'll look good in everything. Even if you give me a piece of cloth, and I wrap myself in it,
Catherine's POV "It's starting now. How is it? Are you satisfied with the client I set you up with?" I heard a clear male voice, which sounded slightly complacent. I took my phone and quickly walked towards a quieter place. "Why are you doing this?" I didn't call him by his name because there were always people walking past me. Compared with Blake, I had to be much more cautious when dealing with Leo, because Leo was too famous. If those women knew that I was talking to Leo on the phone, I would be in trouble again. "No reason. I'm just showing support for your work," Leo said faintly, and then he sounded unhappy somehow. "You don't sound happy at all. Don't you want me to help you?" "It's not like that. I am grateful to you for your help." "Really? You don't sound grateful at all. You didn't even thank me." I couldn't help but chuckle. Then I formally thanked him, "Leo, thanks for your help." "I don't think expressing
