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."
Blake nodded. "Yes, finally, he found his mate."
"I was always worried about him," said Patricia.
I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw that Patricia had no objection to Leo having a girlfriend.
"Mommy, you don't feel like eating again?" Hedwig suddenly asked.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on me.
Blake looked over. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
I had to lie. "Yes, I had a cold."
"It's getting cold now. Remember to keep warm at night. Otherwise, it's easy to catch a cold," Blake reminded me.
Patricia said, "You are a mother and shouldn't be so careless. Are you still worried about the matter between you and Blake? For now, forget the marriage. You should learn more about each other. When the time is right, I will consider whether to agree to it."
I was so happy.
Patricia's words gave me hope.
Noah ran to Patricia. He stretched out his little arms and hugged her. "Patricia, you agree to let daddy and mommy be together, right? You are awesome. I love you so much."
Hedwig also laughed. She ran over and hugged Patricia. "Patricia, you love me the most, don't you? Then don't let daddy and mommy break up, OK? Please."
In a great mood, the food suddenly tasted more delicious.
After dinner, Blake drove me back. Though Patricia wasn't happy about it, she didn't stop him.
Blake opened the car door and got in. Soon, he started the car.
"I didn't expect Patricia to agree to our marriage. Did something happen?" I thought it was strange.
Patricia was very indifferent to me. Now, Patricia agreed to let us be together. Something must have happened.
Blake frowned. He suddenly said, "Perhaps Abigail talked to her."
"Abigail?" I thought, 'Have they decided to divorce, so we could be together?'
"I guess so. She must have told Patricia that she would divorce Halsey, so we can be married," Blake said in a low voice.
"That's likely! What should we do? Are we going to watch them get divorced? Will we be too selfish if we do this?" I was confused.
Although I had just met Halsey, I didn't want to ruin his marriage.
"Do you think we can persuade them not to divorce?" After a long time, Blake finally opened his mouth.
I said painfully, "They will think for us which they shouldn't have."
"Have you seen the news about Leo? What do you think of that girl?" I knew that Blake was trying to change the topic. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
I tried to remain calm.
"I think she's very good. That girl is pretty," I replied.
"I hope they are serious. I hope that they can withstand the pressure and be together happily," Blake said sincerely.
"Yes, I also hope that they can be happy!" I knew that Blake was thinking about our situation.
"How much do you know about Leo?" Blake asked.
I was surprised that Blake asked me this. I was worried that he might know something.
"I don't know much about him. Why do you ask?" I said.
"I just feel that it was not his style to announce his relationship with that girl," Blake answered.
I was getting more nervous.
"Leo never likes to share his private life unless he has no other choices and it serves a certain purpose. Moreover, his new movie is going to be released soon, so it's not a good time to make his relationship public. It's no good for the box office revenue," Blake explained.
I was trembling in fear. Blake knew Leo well, and he got suspicious.
"Aren't you thinking too much? Love can make a person impulsive." My hands clenched the hem of my dress.
"Forget it. Maybe Leo has changed. I have been busy all these years. I didn't try to understand him better. From now on, I should care more about him." Blake was annoyed.
I was worried that the relationship between Blake and Leo would be ruined because of me.
Now my mind was a mess.
"Why aren't you talking?" Blake turned his head and asked.
I quickly said, "What can I say? I envy you guys since you two have such a good relationship."
"After we get married, you can check on him just like I do. He will be your brother-in-law," Blake said.
"Then let's get married first," I said.
"Are you blaming me for not giving you a wedding earlier?" Blake asked.
"No, that's not what I mean," I quickly explained. "I just felt it's too early to think about this now."
"Cathy, though I can't marry you now, I can give you everything else you want, including myself and my affection for you," Blake said gently.
Indeed, Blake's love for me was certainly no less than that of any other partner.
I felt guilty when I thought of how good Blake had been to me, and the fact that I had kept a secret from him.
"Blake, one day, if another man says he loves me, will you be mad?" I asked in a tiny voice.
Blake suddenly stepped on the brakes. He stopped the car in the middle of the road, looked at me, and roared, "Who's that man?"
I quickly explained in a low voice, "No one. I'm just asking. If a man tells me that he has feelings for me, will you be angry?"
Blake shouted angrily, "Of course!"
I shouldn't have asked this question. What should I say next to make Blake ignore this question?
"Don't be mad, okay? I won't be tempted no matter who that man is. Because I love you with all my heart," I said sincerely.
After listening to my words, Blake looked at me affectionately. Then he held me in his arms.
I leaned on his shoulder. Then he grabbed my neck and kissed me fiercely.
At this moment, nothing else was important and we only cared about each other.
