Catherine's POV "Well, have you finished? Do you want to see the ponies or not?" I didn't want to quarrel with Blake because I was going to work soon. I looked at Noah and Hedwig. They immediately put the knife and the fork down. Then they jumped off their seats and claimed that they were full. "Okay, daddy will take you to see the ponies." Blake led them out of the door. We left the lakeside villa. On the lawn outside the villa, there were two beautiful ponies. The two ponies, one white and one black, were definitely carefully selected. Their fur was very shiny and they were eating grass with their heads lowered. They looked so cute. Hedwig and Noah forgot all their worries and rushed toward the two ponies. "You two... Be careful!" Blake suddenly chased after them like a mad man. "Daddy, run faster..." Hedwig shouted excitedly as she ran. Dressed in a suit, Blake ran to Hedwig, failing to keep his hairstyle. I followed behind them and watched them running. My he
Catherine's POV I took my drafts and sat in the reception room to wait for Lorelei. Before she came, I pondered how to explain my design idea to her. Suddenly, the door opened and a few people walked in led by an assistant. "Catherine, they've arrived." I stood up and looked at her with a smile. Suddenly, the beautiful woman in the lead pointed at my face. "You?" I was stunned. I searched my memory, but couldn't recall meeting her before. "I know you. You are the one who quarreled with Gina at the mating gathering. What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here." Seeing that I was confused, the woman explained how we met. Only then did I realize it. It was very late that day. I didn't notice the people around Gina because I wanted to get my mother's necklace back. Even if I met her once, I wouldn't be able to recognize her. "Call Ms. Caldwell over. I don't want to cooperate with this woman." Lorelei was in no mood to listen to me at all. She scolded the assi
Blake's POV After sending the kids to school, I went directly to the council hall of the Chavez group. Today, I needed to deal with the royal family's affairs, as well as the reports submitted by the Alphas. Ever since I became the Lycan King, I asked the Alphas of each pack to intensify the patrols, which greatly reduced the number of attacks by rogues in New Jersey. When I stepped into my office, I saw several photos on my desk. I narrowed my eyes slightly. I picked up the photos and looked at them one by one. I asked Henry to send someone to keep an eye on Catherine yesterday, and he handed me the photos just now. I had thought that Catherine was going to meet another man, but I didn't expect that she was with her line manager. It seemed that this woman had some tricks up her sleeve. It turned out that she was quite in her element in the workplace. I sat in the chair and picked one photo which showed Catherine's face. I didn't know what they were talking about,
Blake's POV "Blake, it's not that I can't have your money, I just don't want it. I am not interested. I want to make my own money. Of course, I can't be richer than you. But it's my own money and I feel comfortable using it." "Catherine, I can fire you directly. You know I can do that," Upon hearing that she wanted to focus on making money, I immediately said mischievously. "According to the contract, if you want to fire me, you have to pay me at least 100 thousand dollars as a penalty. With this money, I can hold on for quite a while and find other jobs." Catherine was not threatened by me at all. "I can make it impossible for you to find any jobs in New Jersey," I threatened. Catherine was immediately annoyed. "Do you dare to do so? If you do, Noah and Hedwig will not acknowledge you as their father anymore. Don't go too far." Catherine's voice was so sharp that I had to take my phone away from me. This woman was so shrewish! "I was just joking with you. How can you
Catherine's POV I planned to finish the designs at the company because Lorelei stated that I had to complete the work within two weeks. I would have to give her ten designs that she would approve of. Currently, she was only satisfied with three. Therefore, it was challenging to finish the task within two weeks when facing such a picky customer. Blake said that he had schedule tonight, so I had to take the designs home for completion. When I drove back and stepped into the parlor, I saw a ridiculous scene. In the luxurious parlor were two more adorable creatures. "Mommy, you're back. Come here and take a look. They are Chestnut and Peanut. Are they cute? I like them so much." As soon as Hedwig saw me come back, she ran over happily. She grabbed my finger and pulled me to see her new pets. "You..." I had yet to recover from this ridiculous scene when I saw Dowen walking over from the dining hall to me. When Dowen saw me, he had
Catherine's POV After Noah and Hedwig cleaned the floor, I took them to the bathroom. At that moment, the bathroom was misty with vapor, and the kids were sitting in the huge bathtub. Hedwig had washed her hair. Her long and slightly wet hair was tied into a bun. Her chopped hair hung down and was stuck to her fair face, making her look so adorable. Hedwig was holding a few wolf toys. She was playing a mother-wolf-protecting-her-cubs game. Noah was messing around, and Hedwig was so angry that she kept calling him a bad boy. "The cub is lost in the forest." Noah hid a doll behind him and smiled proudly. "Mommy, Noah stole my cub. You have to teach him a lesson." Hedwig had no choice but to ask for help. As I applied the shower gel on them, I glared at Noah sternly, "Give the toy back to your sister. Don't you find such toys boring before?" "I chose the doll for her. So what if I play with it? Hedwig is so stingy!" Noah
Catherine's POV "No." I lowered my head and kept staring at the drawing paper. "Sorry, I can't do it. I can't force myself to talk to you properly." "Do you hate me that much?" Blake's voice was full of anger. I fell silent. The bedroom was originally quiet, and I could even hear the sound of breathing clearly. After I fell silent, it became deathly silent. "Well, I will take care of our children in my own way in the future. I will never say these meaningless words to you again," Blake said coldly and then turned to leave. "Close the door, please. I need a quiet environment. Thanks." I heard Blake's words, but I was calm. Then I heard Blake slam the door heavily. He had always wanted more. He forcefully stopped me and my two children from leaving. Then we stayed by his side as he wished, and he could finally enjoy the happiness of being with his children. But now, he asked me to be nice to him and get along well with him. Was
Gina's POV I got a phone call this morning that made me very nervous. The company that hired me as their spokesperson suddenly stopped renewing the contract with me. I got a lot of help ever since Blake thought I was the woman who had a one-night-stand with him five years ago. I became a star in New Jersey with the help of Blake, though I had zero experience and talent in acting and singing. I earn a lot of money every year. Therefore, I could afford an extravagant, carefree life. My father's pack, the Black Moon Pack, also received quite a lot of benefits because of this. Today, I came early to the hall of the Chavez Group and waited. Finally, I saw a tall figure appear at the entrance. "You're finally here, King Blake." I walked quickly to him and said in a gentle and sweet tone. I looked at Blake obsessively. He was so perfect, and his whole body exuded a charming aura different from that of ordinary Alphas. Blake l
Third Person's POVThe evidence Cedrick provided was like a belated Christmas's gift, bringing Leo immense relief.He had tried investigating before, but Samuel was overly cautious, making any prior attempts fruitless.Cedrick, through unknown means, had infiltrated Nebula and unearthed these critical clues—Leo would have to find a chance to thank this prudent business magnate later. But he knew the credit should go to Jessica.Cedrick's willingness to help was clearly for her sake.Leo and Sunny headed straight to Samuel's office, catching him in a compromising situation with a new female star from the company.The star was perched on his lap, Samuel's hands wandering freely over her body, with no regard for discretion.The office door burst open, catching them red-handed.The female star's face drained of color, and Samuel's panic was evident."Boss!" Samuel quickly pushed the stunned star off him, and she hurrie
Third Person's POV"Of course not! You have such a piano gift. I love listening," Leo didn't dare to discourage the little one. Otherwise, Blake would scold him again."Really? Then sit and listen to me play again!" Hedwig insisted.Leo inwardly groaned but stayed at his mother's gaze.When the song finally ended, he almost wanted to flee. "Hedwig, something's come up at the company. I have to go!"Watching his mother patiently guide Hedwig, Leo daydreamed—if he ever had a daughter, he'd definitely leave her in Abigail's care. Only her gentle temperament could raise a well-behaved child.Back at the company, Leo found Sunny had come in at some point—he'd told her to rest at home. Seems this woman just couldn't stay idle."Miss me?" Leo stood before her with a self-assured smile.Sunny paused, then nodded coyly. "It's so boring at home!""Since you're here, keep working on your script and study the character,"
Third Person's POV"Nothing really, just curious," Patricia sighed. "To be honest, I admire you both. If that happened to me, I might not be as poised as you are."Abigail grew even more embarrassed."How about Leo and Sunny?" Patricia changed the subject. "Haven't you called to check in?""No, Leo's not one for sharing personal stuff," Abigail said with a light laugh.Patricia frowned, then leaned in suddenly. "You've met Olivia, right? Don't you think Sunny resembles her a bit?"Abigail stiffened, recalling the resemblance but not daring to dwell on it—could the world really be that coincidental?"Probably no connection," she said with a frown."True, there are plenty of people with the same surname," Patricia agreed, though she noticed the flicker of doubt in Abigail's eyes.Two children bounced into the room, Hedwig holding up a pale purple flower. "Granny, look at the flower Noah put on me. Isn't it pretty?"
Third Person's POV"Olivia was the woman who had an affair with Mark back then? I thought you'd already dealt with her," Nick said with a cold sneer after hearing his father's request. He believed Mark's misplaced mercy back then was like burying a landmine for himself.Richard gritted his teeth. "Not killing her back then was my mistake, but now she must disappear.""Why did you spare her back then, Dad?" Nick's piercing gaze made Richard somewhat flustered."I thought she wouldn't betray me," Richard equivocated."Come on, loyalty that can be bought with money isn't loyalty at all," Nick sneered. "I know the truth—you couldn't bring yourself to kill her because she has the face of your first love. Lust truly does cloud judgment. Your obsession with that woman even drove Mom to her death!""Nick!" Richard roared, as if struck in a sore spot.Nick's eyes turned cold and he fell silent.Richard realized his approach was to
Third Person's POV"Staring at me?" Blake suddenly turned his head, his sapphire eyes sweeping over her flushed cheeks, a mischievous smile tugging at his lips."N-no!" Catherine hastily lowered her head, her fingers crumpling the book pages, yet not a word entered her mind.Blake let out a low chuckle and strode to her side, his long leg bracing against the sofa back, trapping her in the soft confines."Is it nervous to stare at your fiancé?" He deliberately emphasized the word "fiancé," his warm breath grazing her reddening earlobe. "Or have you already decided I'm your 'husband'?"Catherine's heartbeat skipped. They were engaged, but the word "husband" still sent a blush to her cheeks."Don't jump the gun, we're not married yet," she whispered, her gaze involuntarily sliding downward as he began unbuttoning his shirt—his defined chest faintly visible beneath the white fabric, each button like a droplet being undone by
Third Person's POVNow, none of them dared to return home after midnight. They all felt as if going home was like admitting to a mistake, so they prepared mental scripts, thinking about how to deal with the questioning.This was the subtle difference between being unmarried and married in their minds."Blake, you and Catherine are already engaged. When do you plan to get married? How about having the wedding on the same day as ours? It might become a beautiful story," Benjamin asked with a smile, thinking that getting married on the same day could be quite a tale."Forget it. I don't want to run to two wedding venues in one day." Howard was the first to object, already looking forward to attending two wedding feasts.The corners of Blake's mouth twitched into a smile. "I might actually get married before you. My grandmother has already set the date for us.""Ah?" The other two were filled with shock. So sudden?Blake nodded. "I've alr
Olivia promised not to run and cooperated fully.That night, she detailed how Richard had found and bribed her to lure Mark.After settling Olivia in Blake's vacant villa, Leo left past eleven.Hungry and tired, he recalled cooking with Sunny—her average but heartwarming home cooking.On impulse, he drove to Sunny's building, seeing the light in her apartment.Regretting his harsh words, he hesitated but finally, masked and hat-clad, knocked on her door.Sunny opened it, red-eyed from crying.They stood in silence."Why are you here again?" Sunny asked hoarsely."Olivia came to me," Leo said, pushing the door open.Sunny's face stiffened. "Did you send her to the police?""Not yet. I have other plans. Don't ask," Leo said.The air grew tense. Leo stepped closer, tucking her hair behind her ear. "My words this afternoon—did they hurt you?"Sunny widened her eyes. "Of course not. I d
"I'm sorry." Sunny bowed her head, covered her face with her hands, and shook it violently. "Sorry, I really don't know what to do."Leo looked at her like a frightened child, muttering this sentence over and over.But he didn't want to hear her apologies."Maybe I loved the wrong person. Since you never tell me the truth, fine, let's stop torturing each other. Breaking up is the wisest choice," Leo steeled himself again, slammed the things he was carrying onto the table, and turned to leave.Sunny heard the door close heavily again, as if it had slammed right into her heart.She trembled all over.They must had been enemies in their past life.Sunny sneered at herself. That was why this life was full of torment.Leo went downstairs, got into his car. His mind went blank.He didn't know why he was so heartless, but he was just really angry, especially since he placed Sunny in the most important position, yet had to endur
"I had someone call Tasha, and she said your mom was home for dinner, so I came over." Leo had been particularly clingy with Sunny lately. Not having her even for lunch felt off, so he packed some food, deciding to eat with her.He didn't expect to see Olivia.Worse still, Sunny actually stood in front of Olivia, as if shielding her.Sunny's mind was blank. She underestimated her importance to Leo.Olivia, seeing Leo's dark expression and the flicker of anger in his eyes, panicked too.She pushed Sunny aside, stepped forward, and said humbly, "Leo, I was planning to apologize to you anyway.""Really?" Leo's voice was icy cold. Though addressing Olivia, his gaze pinned Sunny, as if trying to see through her pale face to her true thoughts.Olivia nodded earnestly. "Yes, I was going to seek your forgiveness. We were just discussing having Sunny call you later...""Enough! I don't want to hear your lies. Keep running if you will."
