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 mCatherine'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
Catherine's POV Hearing my words, Blake looked up again. His eyes were glowing with determination. "I've thought it through. I want you to be my Lycan Luna." "Blake, you're insane!" How could he say this at this sensitive moment? And it sounded like he had feelings for me! "I am not insane at all. I have already made up my mind. I am not joking." Blake took a few steps forward. "I'm attracted to you." When I saw him come closer to me, I couldn't help but take a few steps back. My heart was beating so fast, and my mind was blank. I didn't expect that Blake would say to me that he had feelings for me right now. Eva never said Blake was my mate. Even if he fell in love with me, what should he do when he met his real mate someday? Plus, he didn't really know me. Even if he was capable enough to see me through, how well did I know him? That night emerged in my mind again. He frightened me utterly back then. It made me feel
Catherine's POV After wandering for a while, I simply threw my pencil away and decided to let go. Wandering wouldn't help at all. Life would continue anyway. I drove home. In the brightly lit parlor, my two kids were playing happily. Hedwig always liked to be Noah's tail. Wherever he went, she followed, while kept staring at him with her big, innocent eyes. She did it on purpose, since she knew he could do nothing about it. "You dropped your eyeballs. Pick them up!" Noah suddenly said to her. Hedwig widened her eyes and instinctively looked down. Then she reached out and touched her eyes. "My eyes are still there. I didn't drop them. Noah, you're lying." Noah chuckled. "You are indeed a fool, Hedwig. How can you still see me if you drop your eyeballs?" "Noah, you are so bad. You are lying! I will tell mommy!" Hedwig went upset at once. She turned around and saw me standing at the door. She immediately ran to me excitedly. "Mommy, yo
Catherine's POV I panicked and quickly explained, "Yes, I'm out with a friend. She brought her kids here. Harley, I've got to go. Talk to you later. I'll congratulate you properly when I see you!" I quickly held my phone in my hand and looked down. I saw the two kids staring at me in a daze. Noah narrowed his eyes. "Mommy, were you on the phone with some man? When we called you just now, you ignored us and said we were your friend's children. I'm so sad." I knew Noah was discontent. Just as I was about to squat down to comfort him, I turned around and saw a tall figure leaning against the door behind me. Blake stared at me without blinking. His hands were crossed in front of his chest, and his face seemed a bit livid. "Noah, I'm sorry. Mommy doesn't want him to know about you yet. Don't be angry, OK?" I deliberately ignored Blake and comforted Noah in a low voice. Hedwig blinked innocently. "Mommy, who was he? Why don't you want him
Catherine's POV Blake became serious and scolded Noah, "Watch your mouth. You're going to make Hedwig cry." Noah curled his lips in disapproval. "What can she do besides act pettish in front of you?" Hearing that, Hedwig cried. I heard Noah's words and then looked at Hedwig, who was leaning against Blake's arms pitifully. I thought about it, and I realized that Noah was right. Hedwig did like to act pettish. Blake immediately said to Noah, "That's what makes a girl adorable. Don't you understand?" Noah was stunned and suddenly grinned. "Daddy, are you saying this to my mommy? You're saying that she's too stubborn and doesn't know how to act pettish, right?" "That's not what I meant!" Blake immediately tried to defend himself. I wondered who he was explaining to. "I'm done. You guys take your time. Be good and listen to Dowen. Don't be late for class." I stood up and wiped my mouth with a tissue. After telling the two kids, I
