　　Catherine's POV　　After hanging up the phone, I was still a little unsettled. I wasn't being cruel. It was just that the truth was too harsh.　　I didn't want Emerson and Patricia to find out about this. If they did, they wouldn't allow me to stay at the lakeside villa.　　I had to stick to my bottom line, for Noah and Hedwig and my uncertain future.　　Night fell.　　After work, I returned home a bit worn out. I saw Noah and Hedwig doing their homework as I walked in the door.　　They were doing some handwork. Noah had already finished his homework and was helping Hedwig.　　"Mommy, you are back! Are you tired today?" Hedwig said with a smile.　　I stroked her head. "I'm not tired. Not after I see you guys."　　"Mommy, we want to have dinner with you tonight!" Noah said with a smile.　　I was touched.　　Noah and Hedwig were very considerate. Even if I didn't ask for it, they were both on my side.　　"Why don't you go and have dinn

　Catherine's POV　　When I checked on the news in the afternoon, I was surprised that someone had found out the identity of the girl in the photo.　　The girl's name was Sunny. She was a reporter and had just graduated from university.　　In my opinion, she was pretty with a good figure.　　I had mixed feelings. I felt that Leo was a nice and responsible person.　　I hoped that Leo could soon let go of his feelings for me because I did not want him to suffer from them.　　At night, when I returned to Lakeside Villa, Patricia called me to Mountaintop Villa to have dinner.　　Patricia was still quite cold to me, but at least, she did not stop me from spending time with Blake.　　At the dining table, Patricia smiled, "Blake, I was surprised that Leo finally found his mate. I always believe that the Moon Goddess is watching over us. I heard that his mate is a reporter. It seems that she is not a member of the royal family or a descendant of the elders of the Council."

　　Catherine's POV　　When Sunny and I stepped onto the stairs, we saw a figure running over in a hurry.　　It was Leo. He looked serious, and he pulled Sunny to his side.　　"Come with me!" Leo's voice was low, and he was very angry.　　Leo dragged Sunny away. He was being rude, so I blocked their way. "Stop treating her this way!"　　"Catherine, leave us alone. This is between me and Sunny!" Leo softened his tone, but he deliberately raised his voice so that everyone in the living room could hear him.　　I was stunned.　　Sunny immediately whispered to me, "Ms. Wyatt, help me..."　　I turned around again and saw them walking toward the garden in the dark.　　I felt worried. What was Leo up to?　　Did he think Sunny had told me things that she wouldn't have?　　I had the urge to go over and help Sunny.　　Blake suddenly walked over. He said in a gentle tone, "Come on, don't be nosy. Maybe that's how they handle things together."　

　Catherine's POV　　"I'm in the building across from you. You can't see me, but I can see you!" Blake smirked.　　I said angrily, "Blake, don't you have better things to do than spying on me?"　　"Are you angry?" Blake asked nervously.　　"Yes, of course, I am angry. I have already told you that I am here to see a client, but you still don't believe me," I said madly. I was happy that Blake cared about me, but he shouldn't have watched me when I was having dinner with my client.　　"I'll get out of your hair after you tell me whether your client is a man or a woman," Blake asked in concern.　　I was amused by his words. "You have excellent eyesight, right? See for yourself."　　"Shall I come over and ask your client in person?" Blake said anxiously.　　I was startled. Blake couldn't be here, and on no ground should he show up to see me.　　If he was seen by others, our relationship would be exposed.　　"She is a woman. All my clients are women

　　Catherine's POV　　"I'll call Patricia now to check on Noah and Hedwig." Blake was in a pickle, too.　　"Maybe you can tell them I'm on an urgent business trip. I'll go back and see them when I'm better," I put forward an idea.　　"Are we really going to lie to them?" Blake frowned. He seemed reluctant. "We keep telling them not to lie, but we can't set a good example."　　He looked serious. I couldn't help but laugh. My wound was torn by my sudden move, and I groaned with pain.　　Blake quickly came over and blamed, "You know you are injured, right? Why can't you learn to take care of yourself?"　　I looked up at his worried look, and I gently said, "I'm fine. Don't worry."　　"How can I not be worried? Do you know how much it hurts to see you like this? I'd rather it was me lying there." Blake would rather be injured than watch me like this.　　"Don't say that," I said angrily. "I don't want you to get hurt."　　Blake leaned over and kissed me
