Catherine's POV
"Catherine, stop standing there. Go out and see Hedwig and Noah," Melinda said.
"Not now. I still have work to do." I didn't know how to face Blake. I chose to avoid him.
"I'll help you with the rest. Catherine, get out of here. Go!" Melinda pushed me, and I went outside the
curtains.
Melinda smiled and said, "Catherine, they're so cute. They look like a princess and a prince."
I looked at the man sitting in the front row stiffly. His temperament was extremely noble.
He held Hedwig in his arms. Hedwig was dressed very beautifully by him. She was just like a princess.
Noah sat beside Blake. Noah was still a kid, but he was intimidating enough. He was wearing a plaid
suit with a golden vest underneath, and he had Blake's hair cut.
I was so nervous that my palms were sweating. Shall I go over to them?
Just as I was feeling uneasy, I suddenly heard a sweet and happy voice, shouting, "Mommy... Mommy,
you're here!"
Hedwig looked at me with her big eyes. Then Blake looked at me deeply.
I met his gaze and felt a little nervous. I quickly looked at Hedwig.
Hedwig immediately jumped down from Blake's legs and ran towards me.
I looked at Hedwig's small body and instinctively crouched down. I opened my arms and hugged her.
"Mommy, daddy brought me here to watch such a great show. I'm so happy!" Hedwig immediately
kissed my face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Come here, Mommy. Come here and sit next to daddy. Let's watch the show together." The next
second, Hedwig grabbed one of my fingers and pulled me with force.
I had no choice but to walk to Blake's side.
Blake quickly held Noah in his arms and smiled gently at me. He said, "Come and sit here."
His smile intoxicated me.
The lights on the stage seemed to have gathered at the bottom of his eyes. His eyes were so bright
and deep, taking my soul away.
I couldn't say no to him long ago. With Hedwig in my arms, I sat beside him.
I sat in my seat, looking straight at the center of the stage, but I could feel Blake's eyes on me the
whole time.
Suddenly, a warm hand held my hand. I immediately looked at Blake.
"Something on your mind?" Blake leaned over and asked in a low voice.
I was about to lose it.
My nerves had been tense since I saw Emily yesterday.
If Blake stopped asking me and caring about me, if he let me handle it myself, maybe I could dissolve
all my fantasies and expectations about him within a few days.
"No," I answered softly and lowered my head.
"Noah, Hedwig, sit here with Ben and watch the show. I have something to say to your mom." After
that, Blake grabbed my hand and walked toward the gate.
Blake stood up and held my wrist overbearingly. I was caught off guard. I could only follow in his
footsteps and walk out.
"What are you doing?" I was shocked and angry. What was wrong with him? Couldn't he see that I was
furious?
Blake didn't say anything. He quickened his pace.
I didn't want to embarrass him in front of so many reporters and guests, and I didn't want to look like a
fool either. So, I followed in his footsteps and walked out.
There weren't many guests and reporters outside the gate.
Blake directly pulled me into his car.
"Stop dragging me! I still have work to do."
"Don't think about working, unless we are clear here," Blake said in a low voice.
"What do you want me to say?" I was powerless, and I felt aggrieved even more.
Blake stared at my face. "What happened? It's about me, right?"
I underestimated his insight. Perhaps I was too bad at hiding my emotions.
Since he asked me, I turned my face to the side and sneered, "Who is Emily?"
Blake was silent and did not answer. I immediately turned to look at him and laughed sarcastically.
"Don't tell me you don't know her. She is your ex-girlfriend."
"She is not!" Blake retorted instantly. "She is my uncle's daughter."
Hearing him tell me about his relationship with Emily, I trembled and felt a chill all over.
"Let me out!" I wanted to run away.
I actually fell for such a pervert. Wasn't I stupid or what?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"She came to you? What did she say to you?" asked Blake, frowning.
I pushed his hand away. "Don't touch me!"
Blake looked at me seriously and said, "Cathy, is running away your solution to everything? It's driving
me mad."
I was driving him mad? Hearing that, I immediately glared at him. "So what if I'm not perfect? I'm still
better than you! I didn't have sex with my cousin!"
Blake stared at me for a long time before laughing in disbelief. "What did you say?"
I gritted my teeth. "Drop the act. Emily told me everything. She said that you two had a relationship,
and she took care of you for many years. You are a bastard, Blake. You lied to me! You lied to me when
you said I was the only woman you ever loved. I'm warning you! Stop treating me like I'm a fool! I am
not as smart as you, but I am not that stupid either. I won't be played by you."
"Emily told you herself? Did you buy it?" Blake asked in disbelief.
I immediately said, "Of course, she told me herself. I should thank her for telling me about your past
misdeeds so that I wouldn't get caught up in them and become your plaything."
"Cathy, listen to me. Emily is my uncle's adopted daughter. I'm not related to her. Also, she is not my
first love, nor is she my ex-girlfriend. I have never slept with her. All of this was a lie she made up to
drive a wedge between us. Yet you took her words for it, and you doubted my feelings for you. You
broke my heart." Blake stared into my eyes and spoke clearly.
I was stunned.
Blake's voice was firm as he said, "Cathy, you are the only woman I've ever had in my life. Do you
understand?"
My breathing suddenly paused.
