Catherine's POV
Dawn came faster in early winter. I had just drawn a couple of designs in the room when I heard my kids running fast outside. I quickly put down my pencil and drawing board and saw the bedroom door pushed open. Two small figures came in one after another. Hedwig ran over and threw herself into my arms. She looked up and asked, "Mommy, are you better? I am so worried about you!" I listened to her childish voice and gently comforted her, "Much better. I'm fine! Don't worry!" Noah stood to the side, his hands crossed in front of his chest. He smiled and said, "Mommy, do you have something to say to us?" I was immersed in Hedwig's concern when I suddenly heard his question. I blinked. "What?" "Are you sure you don't have something to say to us?" Noah immediately pursed his lips. Hedwig also blinked. She grinned and shouted, "I know what Noah wants to ask you. Patricia said that you and daddy are going to get marrieCatherine's POV I found that Leo was getting better at racing. Noah suddenly looked up at Blake and asked, "Daddy, when are you going to marry mommy? Will it take a long time?" As soon as Noah finished speaking, Leo's RC car suddenly rushed off the track and turned upside down, leaving only the two wheels spinning at a rapid speed. Noah turned around and looked at Leo strangely. "Leo, your car ran off the track!" Leo quickly stood up, picked up his RC car, and put it back on the track. Then he casually asked Blake, "You are getting married?" The corner of Blake's mouth rose. "Yes. Patricia is fine with it." I looked at them and found a slight change in Leo's expression, but it quickly returned to normal. Leo immediately laughed and congratulated us, "Congratulations!" Blake looked at Noah next to them and nodded. "Can you believe it? Our kids are so big." "That's all thanks to my mommy!" Next to Noah, Leo sudden
Catherine's POV The two of us continued to walk. "Cathy, I'm asking you seriously now. When do you want to get married?" Blake held my arm tightly and said in a low voice with strong tenderness. I was momentarily stumped. "What do you think? I'm fine with the date, actually." "Then I'll leave it to Patricia," Blake said. I nodded. "OK. Let her help us settle a date. But before we get married, I have to see Dr. Cooper again." "Why? Are you too impatient to wait?" Blake's eyes instantly darkened. My face was a bit hot, and I looked into his eyes. "Aren't you?" "Of course I am. How can I not?" said Blake. My face became even hotter. When he said things like that, he became charming indescribably. "Weren't you here to help me get inspiration? Such a topic won't help!" I couldn't help but chuckle. Blake held my hand and walked forward. There was a pond next to us, and a lot of fireflies suddenly flew up
Catherine's POV That night, I had a beautiful dream. In my dream, I wore a pure white wedding dress and walked down the red carpet. Step by step, I walked toward the tall man in front of me. Far away, through the veil, I saw the man reach out to me. The feeling was somehow unreal, yet it was so beautiful, making me unwilling to wake up. But the red carpet was so long. I walked for a long time, and my legs were sore from walking. However, I still couldn't walk to his front, though he was there, right in front of me. Although my legs were tired from walking in the dream, I just didn't want to open my eyes and end the dream. I reluctantly opened my eyes until I felt something warm and soft on my face. Then I saw a pair of crystal-like beautiful eyes. It was Hedwig, who woke up earlier than me. This seldom happened. "Mommy, it's time to get up. Today is my last day at school. No school tomorrow!" Hedwig happily jumped on the bed and said
Catherine's POV Lorelei was no longer as arrogant as before. She sat in front of me with a modest smile. She said with politeness, "Ms. Wyatt, we had a little misunderstanding earlier, and I hope you were not mad at me. I was a bit hasty, only because I was in a rush for my performance." I immediately smiled, "What happened is our company's fault. You don't have to say that." "That's not true. I was too anxious and offended you!" Lorelei was eager to take the blame. I didn't want to waste my time arguing with her. Anyway, it was all over. "Ms. Pope, how may I help you?" I asked. "Well, there is something. But I'm worried that I might offend you if I say it!" Lorelei immediately blushed. "Just tell me." Lorelei quickly told me the purpose of her visit, "Ms. Wyatt, I don't know if you've been paying attention to showbiz lately. Right now, no one is a match for you in showbiz." I was stunned. "Oh? Since when did I h
Catherine's POV I agreed. Melinda's words made sense. As arranged by my assistant, I had to meet three female stars today. One of them was Leo's new star. I heard that she came from a rich family. She was dressed very beautifully and had the pompous temperament of a rich family's daughter. Everything she used was from famous brands, and the total price was over a million dollars. I sized her up and figured that the car she drove was definitely expensive as well. A woman walking with a net worth of tens of millions of dollars should be able to afford such an expensive design fee. "Ms. Wyatt, I'm Sandra Newman!" The woman immediately smiled and introduced herself the minute she came in. She did not put on airs as some stars would do. "Hello, Ms. Newman. I heard that you want me to design something for you?" I quickly smiled and asked. Sandra smiled and said, "Yes. I heard that your design is very unique and stylish, so, I want to ask
Catherine's POV "Ms. Carroll, what makes you think I can help you?" I was a little helpless. "Of course, you can. You will become Mrs. Chavez soon. And Leo brought all his stars to the launch this time to support you. It means that he thinks of you as family. Does he dare to disobey you?" Roxanne immediately explained confidently. Well, she thought the whole thing through. I found it hard to turn her down bluntly. Since I could tell that she was very serious about this. "Ms. Carroll, Blake and I aren't married yet, so I'm not Leo's family for now. I may not be able to help you. I'm sorry." I politely declined. "Ms. Wyatt, you are too modest. You can just tell me that you don't want to help me. In fact, I know I'm pushing my luck. It's just that I like him so much. I have the feeling. He is the one! Of course, I know. I fell in one-sided love with him. And he is way out of my league. Why would he like me? After all, he is surrounded by so m
Catherine's POV I nodded. "Alright. Since you can handle so many styles, I'll think about it! But out of curiosity, of all the designers, why did you find me?" "I think you might be the inspiration for my next song. I want to get to know you!" Alina suddenly stared at me without blinking. What she said surprised me greatly. I blinked my eyes sheepishly. "I'm your inspiration? How so? You probably haven't seen me before!" "I've seen you before, but you probably don't remember me. After all, it was so many years ago." Alina's tone suddenly changed. I was even more shocked. I tried my best to recall her name, but nothing came up at all. "Sorry. It didn't ring a bell," I smiled and shook my head. "Catherine, I've been paying close attention to your launch a long time ago. I always thought it could not be you, but when I saw your work photo in your company, I was sure that it was you. I didn't expect you to be so successful in you
Catherine's POV Upon hearing Dr. Cooper's words, I tensed up. Yet I still nodded. "Sure. Go ahead." "Have you ever thought about that night in the last five years?" "No. I avoided it. I didn't want to think about it at all." "Then take a moment to think about what happened five years ago that caused you to break down." I closed my eyes and clenched my fists. For the first time, I was willing to face that night when everything went wrong. Suddenly, some images flashed through my mind. "I remember something!" My entire body trembled. Indeed, I recalled something. I just didn't want to dig into it. "What is it?" Dr. Cooper asked gently. "Tell me. Let me know what you are thinking." "I woke up once that night, because I was so painful. When I opened my eyes, I thought I heard Blake calling out a name, a woman's name." I suddenly sat up and covered my face. The pain deep down had nowhere to hide. "Do you remem
Third Person's POVRichard said mysteriously, "Just wait and see. Someone will expose it.""Isn't it supposed to be made public?" Nick asked curiously."If it were made public, Emerson might just be so angry that he'd die," Richard glanced in the direction of Emerson.Nick nodded in agreement. "His condition does seem really serious. Dad, are you starting to care about Emerson?""I just don't want him to collapse so soon," a complex expression flickered across Richard's face.Nick let out a cold laugh. "I thought your hatred for him had already faded.""He gave me life, but at the same time, he subjected me to countless blows and torments. I don't even know whether to hate him or respect him," Richard snorted coldly.At that moment, the sound of flattery from the crowd outside the main door could be heard. Nick looked over and saw Blake and Catherine walking in, receiving everyone's congratulations.Since it was an engag
Third Person's POVThe morning sun shone brightly. After a month of continuous winter snow, the city finally welcomed such a sunny day.On this day, the entire city was buzzing with excitement over the Royal Pack's joyous occasion—Blake and Catherine's long-awaited engagement was finally coming to fruition.The news had the city abuzz with anticipation, as everyone eagerly awaited photos or videos from the engagement party, curious to see just how luxurious and dazzling a high-society event could be.In reality, Blake had prepared for the engagement party somewhat hastily. In his eyes, many aspects were far from perfect, but he had done his utmost to make everything as good as it could be.Emerson was particularly delighted and felt a deep sense of relief, knowing that he would witness his grandson's engagement in his lifetime, leaving him with no regrets.Abigail attended Catherine's engagement party, but Halsey was unable to make it
Third Person's POVBlake, too, wished they could keep kissing forever. But he was also worried that he might make it hard for her to breathe.Catherine's pretty face flushed with pink. Blake reluctantly let her go."I'm going to take a shower. Wait for me!" Blake had a knack for easily unsettling her. Just that one word, "wait for me," seemed to encompass all the sweet nothings.Catherine's heart fluttered slightly as she watched his figure disappear into the bathroom. She suddenly felt the bedroom was empty and didn't know what to do next.At that moment, her phone rang, signaling a new message.Catherine walked over and saw that the message was from Harley. She was taken aback for a moment but still picked up her phone to check it."Catherine, congratulations!" The message was simple, yet it was filled with his affection for her.Catherine understood the weight behind those few words and sighed softly.She remembered H
Third Person's POV"Mirabel, I have to ask, these two men, you didn't hire them, did you?" the assistant asked nervously.Mirabel's face froze for a second, and she turned her head to glare at the assistant fiercely. "Don't talk nonsense. This has nothing to do with me!"The assistant shrank back, quickly forcing a smile. "Good, I'm glad it's not related. Mirabel, I wonder who Sunny offended this time. It seems like there are quite a few people who want to get back at her."Mirabel narrowed her eyes, clenching her fists in anger. She thought to herself that since Sunny had escaped this time, she wouldn't be so lucky next time.In fact, these two thugs were indeed hired by Mirabel.She had originally planned to grab Sunny, humiliate her thoroughly, and make her feel unclean, so she would be too ashamed to pursue Leo anymore.But now, things had gone beyond her expectations.Sunny had good fighting skills and had fought against t
Third Person's POVA hint of embarrassment flickered across Sunny's face. Although she had courage and fighting skills, these didn't seem like things worth boasting about in front of the man she liked.What if Leo didn't like such a strong woman? Would he be put off by her?"Rest assured, I only fight bad guys. I would never raise a fist to you," Sunny said with a forced laugh.Leo, however, chuckled softly. "If one day I really become too much of a jerk, you'd have every right to teach me a lesson. I wouldn't have a word to say."Sunny just shook her head and remained silent. Of course, she could never bring herself to hit the man she liked."From this video, we can see the faces of those men. Don't worry, I will definitely catch these two jerks and get revenge for you," Leo said in a low voice, his tone firm."I just want to know why they were after me. Did I really offend someone at some point?" Sunny felt a vague sense of unease.
Third Person's POV"Take me to the hospital. I'm in pain." Sunny was at her breaking point, feeling like she was about to pass out from the agony.Without a word, Leo scooped her up into his arms and hurried towards the door."Close the door. I still have a lot of stuff inside." Sunny gritted her teeth and said.Leo, however, ignored her. "What's more important than your life?"Sunny could only watch helplessly as her front door remained wide open and the elevator doors swiftly closed.Leo held her tighter, noticing the cold sweat streaming down her forehead like a small river. It was then that he realized the extent of her suffering."Who did this? Who stabbed you?" Leo finally had a moment to ask her in a calm but forceful tone.Sunny shook her head. "I don't know. I don't recognize those people."Hearing her words, Leo's face turned ashen, nearly driving him to the brink of madness. She had been attacked by strangers.
Third Person's POVSunny returned home and, after a while of overthinking, decided to go out and buy something to eat.The news of her breakup with Leo had already faded a few days ago. Now, the engagement of Blake and Catherine had taken over the entire internet. The buzz around her had significantly diminished.Sunny put on a mask, went out without makeup, and wore a white woolen coat.She walked along the avenue outside her block, remembering a delicious cupcake shop she had visited before. She hadn't been there in a long time and was craving their food. Maybe her mood had improved, because she felt lighter on her feet, not as burdened as before.After all, Leo had proposed to her, and she was the one who had turned him down.Thinking of this, Sunny let out a quiet breath and felt a fleeting sense of triumph.But such thoughts were short-lived. In the world of love, there are no real winners. As long as one doesn't lose too badly,
Eda's POV"Eda, if only I had met you earlier, I would have always been by your side." Benjamin walked over to me, gently wrapped his arms around me. He held me tightly.I'm a very strong woman. I've hardly ever cried from childhood to now.But at this moment, for some reason, I felt like I needed protection. My heart was as fragile as glass, craving comfort."Yeah, why didn't you show up sooner?" I murmured with a smile, though my voice was a little choked up.Benjamin held me. His tenderness enveloped my heart.The things that scared me were indeed terrifying, but right now, his embrace made me feel safe.He said softly, "Eda, if you're scared, let's not do anything. If you don't want to get married, we'll just keep dating; if you don't want to have kids, we won't have any. I don't want you to face those things that scare you anymore."After hearing his words, I gently pushed him away, blinked my eyes, and asked in disbelief,
Eda's POVI stared at the beautifully designed wedding invitation on my desk. The minimalist yet elegant style exuded a casual and refined vibe.The off-white card was adorned with a light blue ribbon and featured the wedding details of Blake and Catherine in an exquisite font.Blake and Catherine were getting engaged. From the bottom of my heart, I was genuinely happy for them and sent my heartfelt congratulations.They had the courage to step into marriage and continue their sweet love story, which was truly enviable. But at least, I couldn't do it myself.I reached out and touched my still-flat stomach. Besides the occasional waves of nausea, I hardly felt any different. My body seemed to be functioning as usual."Ugh, this is so annoying!" I propped my head up with my hand and fiddled with my bangs, too agitated to focus on work.I felt like I was going through the worst phase of my life."Turns out, enjoying happiness come
