Blake's POV© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Inside the manor.
Richard stayed for dinner. Nick was also called back by Patricia. Patricia called Leo, but Leo rejected her. Patricia scolded Leo for that. Leo was depressed and went to eat with Sunny. Because of Olivia, the relationship between him and Sunny had been bumpy recently.
Since it was a family dinner, Catherine had to bring the children downstairs. Richard was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Nick. I sat next to him as the host. I was already Lycan King. I had the final say in the entire royal wolf pack. Therefore, Richard and Nick didn't seem happy.
After Catherine brought the two children downstairs, Nick's eyes focused on her.
Catherine wore a long white knitted coat. Her long hair hung on her back. She looked sweet and warm.
My gaze inadvertently swept across Nick's face, which was filled with obsession. Although he quickly put that look away, I saw it clearly. I became wary. How dare he covet my woman in my house? He really provoked me! After Catherine went downstairs, the two children stayed by her side quietly.
The two little guys washed their hands. Then Nick walked to them with a smile. "Hedwig, Noah, I brought you guys gifts. Do you want gifts?"
Hedwig blinked her big eyes. Noah answered first, "Daddy bought all the gifts we wanted. Thank you, Nick!"
I looked at Noah with praise.
Nick froze.
Richard walked over and patted Nick on the shoulder. "It seems that you like children very much. Hurry up and find your mate. Then you can have your own children." Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.
Nick looked at Catherine.
I stared at Nick fiercely, wishing I could tear him apart right now.
Catherine brought the two little guys to my side. Hedwig climbed into my arms and sat down, one hand touching my face.
I was amused by Hedwig's cute actions.
Dinner was ready at this time. The family sat around the table. Even Emerson, who rarely got out of bed, came downstairs in a wheelchair.
"After dinner, let's take a photo!" Patricia suddenly suggested.
Everyone had different expressions. Since Patricia proposed to take a picture, nobody would refuse.
So, while we were eating, Dowen took a lot of photos of us.
Patricia took the photos and looked at them. She nodded and smiled, 'Not bad. The photos look good. Hedwig is such a naughty girl. She made a face. Noah seemed too serious. Dowen, wash the photo and frame it up."
"Patricia, it is a pity that Leo did not come! Dowen said.
Patricia sighed, "Yes, Emily isn't back either. There are always people absent. Forget it. I can't ask for more." Everyone could see the sadness on Patricia's face.
*Emerson, I have a meeting with a few old friends tomorrow. Do you want to come?" Richard suddenly asked. Emerson didn't look good. But since Richard was by his side, he forced himself to cheer up. In this case, he
looked quite normal.
"Who did you invite?" Emerson asked.
Richard said a few names. They were all Emerson's old friends. Emerson was once close to them. Emerson nodded. "Okay. I will go tomorrow."
Patricia suddenly frowned and objected, "I don't think you should go. I'll be worried."
Richard laughed, "Patricia, as always, you still like to meddle with Emerson's personal affairs. I'm with him. Relax." Patricia and Emerson looked at each other. Emerson seemed to want to go out to relax, so Patricia had to nod and agree, "Alright then, he can only stay out for a few hours in the morning. Then bring him back quickly. He has to take medicine."
*Patricia, what medicine does Emerson have to take? Give it to me, I will let him take it." Richard asked in a concerned tone.
I watched as Noah and Hedwig ate. Hearing Richard's tone, I sneered in my heart.
Patricia nodded. "Okay, I will prepare the medicine for you. Nick, do you want to go with them?"
"I've been busy recently, so I might not have the time!" Nick shook his head.
The dinner was over. Everyone left the table with their own worries.
Richard did not stay and left with Nick's car.
After Richard and Nick left, Mountaintop Villa returned to silence. The kids lived a regular life. At about nine o'clock, they began to yawn. Catherine knew that I was unhappy because I saw Richard and Nick, so she put the kids to sleep.
I returned to the bedroom. Because I was in a bad mood, I went to the balcony alone and looked into the distance, lost in thought.
I didn't know when the door of the balcony was open. Catherine poked out half of her head. I saw her at once.
I only wore a suit, and I stood there alone smoking.
Catherine walked behind me in the cold wind. She whispered, "You can smoke at home. Don't stand here. The wind is cold. Get in."
I turned around abruptly. "Don't come out. It's cold outside!"
Catherine dragged me into the room. The next second, she closed the door and blocked the cold outside.
Catherine was also a little pale from the cold, but she still asked me softly, "Are you cold? Hurry up and take a shower."
"Let's go. Are the children asleep?" I nodded and asked softly.
"Yes. Now they are getting harder and harder to deal with." Catherine smiled sweetly.
I gently touched her long hair and said gently, "Thank you so much for what you have done. The kids will be more and more difficult to handle as they grow older."
"I didn't do much. Compared to you, I'm living a relaxed life." Catherine looked at me with worry. "I can see that you are in a bad mood."
We entered the bedroom. I reached out and untied the buttons of my suit. I took off my coat and placed it on the back of a sofa chair on the side. Only then did I turn around. I held Catherine's slender waist and gently hugged her. "Yes, I have been a little depressed recently. I want to solve some problems as soon as possible, but I can't do it for various reasons."
"Can I help?" Catherine leaned into my arms.
"Catherine, just take care of the children. You already helped me a lot by doing that, "I said gently. I kissed her forehead. "I need to make my own decisions. Don't worry about me. I know what to do."
"I can't help but worry!" Catherine sighed, "Are we really going to get engaged the day after tomorrow? I always feel a little uneasy. It's too rushed. Is everything gonna run smoothly?"
I reached out and patted her on the back. I comforted her, "Don't worry. There won't be any trouble. I will find someone to keep an eye on everything!"
Catherine let out a light breath and said something that was pressing down on her heart, "Tonight, Nick always looked at me. How annoying."
"I saw that too. If Emerson and Patricia weren't there, I would have found someone to dig his eyes out." I said in a tone as cold as the temperature outside. I didn't know whether Nick was doing this on purpose or he couldn't control himself. No matter what, I was angry.
"How could he be like this?" Catherine was also annoyed.
*He used to love to snatch things from me. Maybe now, he wants to snatch you away again. He is too ambitious."
I was angry when Nick looked at Catherine. It seemed that he was serious. He might not do this for fun.
"Don't worry. I'd rather die than fall in love with him." To make me feel at ease, Catherine made such a ruthless vow.
"Of course, I know. I never doubted you. Catherine, don't think about it anymore. I will make him regret it." I was afraid that Catherine would be afraid because of this, so I held her face with both hands and looked at her warmly to comfort her.
Catherine nodded. "I will no longer think about him. That's a waste of time."
I chuckled. "Alright, then we won't talk about him. Sooner or later, I will dig out his eyes and feed his eyes to the dogs.
*Forget it, Emerson and Patricia definitely won't let you do this. I am happy that you are so protective of me." Catherine was amused by my words.
