Blake's POV
"Are you curious?" I took another puff and sneered.
"Not at all!" Henry's expression was very interesting. I could tell that he was indeed very curious.
I was amused by his expression, and then the atmosphere relaxed a little. "I know him."
Henry quickly nodded. "Really? How?"
My voice was as cold as ice. "He is old. If your investigation is right, he is Catherine's grandfather."
"What? How is that possible?" Henry was stunned.
I stood up from my black office chair, and my voice was a little irritated. I said, "So, Catherine is the lost
daughter of the Fox family."
"It seems that I met her when I was a kid, and I even kissed her cheek before." I was lost in my
memories, and there was a hint of mockery and sadness in my tone.
When I was young, the Fox family had twins. They were extremely cute and made countless people
envious.
The girl was particularly pretty. Her eyes were like crystals, delicate and cute.
I suddenly woke up from my memories and thought of Hedwig. Hedwig's big eyes were so similar to
Catherine's. And now that I thought about it, Hedwig's eyes were almost identical to the girl's eyes in
my memories. No wonder I felt that Hedwig's eyes were so beautiful.
I went to the Fox's home to congratulate them together with my parents. At that time, I was just a kid,
and I knew nothing. But I always remembered the girl's beautiful, big eyes. However, later on, I hated
the Fox family to their guts. Their boy died of illness, and their girl went missing. The tragedies, in my
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteyes, were a kind of punishment for them.
"King Blake, are you alright?" Henry asked with concern.
I tried my best to suppress the raging anger in my heart. I turned around and looked at Henry, saying,
"Do you know why I have twins?"
"No." Henry replied.
"Because it runs in Catherine's family. Your investigation is correct. She is the lost daughter of the Fox
family." My tone became more and more agitated, because everything was verified.
And the pain in my heart was tearing me apart.
"King Blake, do you have a grudge against the Fox family?" Henry asked in confusion.
"Yes. The man is the man I hate the most in my life, and now I'm in love with his daughter. How
ridiculous!" Fate played a joke with me. I fell in love with Halsey Fox's daughter.
No! I didn't want to accept it! I hated Halsey to his guts!
Halsey took my mother away from me.
"King Blake, if all of this is true, you and Ms. Wyatt..."
"I won't let her find her family. Ever!" My voice grew cold.
Henry nodded. "King Blake, if you love Ms. Wyatt, I think it's best that she doesn't know. Your
relationship won't be affected in such a way."
"How I wish I didn't know. Now that I know about it, it irritates me. I can't get rid of it whatsoever. It's so
annoying!" I said, vexed.
Henry was so scared that he quickly apologized, "King Blake, it's my fault. I shouldn't do the
investigation!"
"I don't blame you. You may leave. I want to be alone for a while." I raised my hand.
Henry quickly retreated.
I sat alone in the office, drew the curtains behind me, turned my chair back, and lit another cigarette.
I stared at the building that Catherine was in without blinking, my mind in turmoil.
I wished so much that Henry was wrong. However, there was too much evidence showing that
Catherine was Halsey's daughter.
What should I do? Should I let Halsey's daughter be my Lycan Luna?
I even refused to see my mother now. That dark time seemed to have come back to haunt me.
So ridiculous. All of this was so ridiculous.
I didn't even know what kind of feeling I had for Catherine anymore.
I reached for the phone on the desk, clicked on the screen, and saw the picture of Catherine and the
kids hugging and smiling. My body froze.
I asked Noah to send the picture from Catherine's phone to me, because I liked the way she smiled in
that picture. It was so charming.
But I had mixed feelings right now while looking at it. I loved seeing her smile, but I had to force myself
to look away.
I felt so conflicted.
I knew. This feeling would stay with me till I made the final decision.
Before I knew it, my fingers had already dialed Catherine's number.
Catherine's gentle voice sounded, "Hey!"
"It's me." I pulled myself together before I spoke.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I know it's you. Why did you call me? Did you find out about my parents?"
"Yes." I couldn't help but sound a little cold. "I'm sorry. They passed away."
"What?" Catherine's voice trembled a little when she heard the news. "What did you say?"
"I know it will upset you, Cathy. But I have to tell you anyway. Your parents are no longer with us. They
are dead." My tone eased a little, because it was cruel news after all. I heard her trembling voice, and I
could not bear it.
"How ... did they die?" Catherine seemed to have gone through a lot of effort before completing her
sentence.
I knew that she must be devastated now. Maybe she couldn't even stand steadily. My heart ached
when I thought of this.
My voice softened as I said, "They died in an invasion of rogues."
After a long time, Catherine said self-mockingly, "Then I guess I have nothing to look forward to!"
"Cathy, I'm sorry..."
"Don't say that. I ... I still have to thank you. Thank you for finding it out for me. Otherwise, I would have
always thought that my parents were in this city. I would still have had hopes, and I would have felt that
I could meet them at some point in time. I was wondering if I should greet them. I wanted to know why
they didn't want me. I guess there's no need for any of that now." Catherine was sobbing while she
spoke.
"Cathy..." I suddenly felt that I was so cruel, but I had to. I would never allow anyone to ruin my
relationship with Catherine. She was painful indeed, but I would make up for her by loving her even
more.
"I'm fine. I'll hang up now." Catherine's voice was very sad. She quickly hung up the phone.
I held my phone tightly and stared out the window for a long time.
