Catherine's POV
The night fell. I had been feeling like I was in a dream lately since my life had been so wonderful.
Patricia and Emerson appreciated me, and Blake indulged me. He would surprise me from time to time to make me happy.
Blake was a perfect mate. Wealth made him confident. And though many people also had money, they weren't as delicate and gentle as him. Therefore, Blake was simply attractive.
I used to think he was arrogant and self-centered, but after I fell for him, I realized that Blake did have what it took to attract women.
"Mommy!" Hedwig suddenly ran over. She asked me seriously, "After you and daddy get married, are you going to call him honey?"
I was a little surprised that she asked so. I smiled, "Who told you that?"
"I saw it on TV. A kid's mommy calls his daddy honey," Hedwig said, blinking her eyes like a curious baby.
I chuckled. "Why don't you go and ask your daddy? I can't explain this."
"OK! I'll ask him!" Hedwig quickly ran away.
I followed her with a smile. Hedwig pushed Blake's door. Blake just finished the shower and put on his pajamas. Then, he saw Hedwig, his precious daughter, push the door and walked in.
"Daddy, I have a question for you!" Hedwig rushed over and hugged his thigh. "What does honey mean?"
"Honey is... the way married couples call each other."

"But you and mommy are not married yet." Hedwig tilted her head and blinked her big eyes.
Blake smiled gently and said, "Yeah, not yet."
"That's right. Mommy hasn't worn a beautiful wedding dress yet." Hedwig nodded seriously as if she understood everything.
I listened to the funny conversation between them for a while, and then I returned to my room.
I opened the box on the dressing table and looked at the jewelry that Blake had bought me.
Suddenly, I noticed that the obsidian necklace my mother left me was missing. I quickly checked all the jewelry in the box. Yet it was nowhere to be found.
I rushed to Blake's room and said anxiously, "Blake, did you see the obsidian necklace my parents left me? I couldn't find it anywhere. Will you help me?"
Blake's arms froze slightly as he hugged Hedwig.
"Calm down. I'll go with you to take a look!" Blake put Hedwig down and followed me into my room.
I opened the drawer and said nervously, "I always put it here, but now it's gone. How could it be? Has Hedwig been playing with it again?"
Blake turned around and looked at Hedwig, who had poked her head in.
I trotted toward her. "Hedwig, I want you to be honest with me. Have you been going through my drawer again?"
"No, I didn't!" Hedwig shook her head. "Mommy, I didn't take your necklace!"

Hedwig was startled. Blake said, "Catherine, let's look again. Hedwig won't lie. She said she didn't take it. Then I'm sure she didn't."
I put my hand over my forehead, regretting that I had failed to control my temper.
I muttered, "It's all I have from my parents. If I lose it, I'll have nothing to memorize about them."
"Mommy, don't cry. I'll help you find it!" Hedwig ran over and hugged my leg to comfort me.
I nodded. "OK. Hedwig, come and help me find it."
"It must still be in the room. I will look around again!" I opened all the drawers, rummaged through stuff, and tried to find it.
I was so anxious that I almost went crazy. It was in the drawer. How could it disappear?
I remembered that Patricia had spoken of the necklace not long before, and I had seen it then. It had been only a few days, and yet it was missing.
Blake suddenly said in a low voice, "Catherine, calm down. I'll ask Dowen and see if he knows anything."
I calmed down and nodded. "Alright. Ask him if he put it away for me while he was cleaning."
Blake walked out the door. I waited for a while, and I still felt unsettled. So, I rushed out.
I walked to the stairs and saw Blake and Dowen. I asked anxiously, "Dowen, have you seen my obsidian necklace?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDowen said, "Ms. Wyatt, I haven't. But I sent a maid to clean your room the other day."
"Really? Then can you find her and ask her about it? Maybe she put my necklace elsewhere." I asked in a hurry as if there was a clue to find it.
However, Dowen had an awkward expression on his face. "I'm so sorry, Ms. Wyatt. The maid resigned a few days ago. I'm afraid I can't find her."
"What?" I froze.
Blake walked to my side and comforted me, "Catherine, don't be sad. We think she might have stolen your necklace."
"Why would she steal it? It isn't worth much." I was furious.
Dowen quickly explained, "She probably had never seen any diamonds or jewelry before, and your necklace looked valuable to her. So, she took it."
"Blake, can you help me find the maid? I can give her money. I just want her to give it back. That's the only thing my parents left me. Please help me!"
I grabbed his hands and pleaded, "I can't lose the necklace. You know it means a lot to me. I can give her money. All I ask is that she gives me the necklace back!"
Blake's tone was still gentle. He said, "OK. I'll send someone to look for her. But I can't say for sure. What if she sold the necklace? I don't know if we can get it back."
I nodded. "Alright. Just help me find her first."
"I will. Don't worry. Let me take you upstairs to rest." Blake held my hand and brought me upstairs.
Blake took me back to my bedroom. Hedwig was still rummaging in the bed. When she saw me come in, she immediately said with a disappointed face, "Mommy, I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find it."
I forced a smile. "Hedwig, go play with Noah. You can stop looking for it now."
"Is it nowhere to be found?" Hedwig blinked.
Blake pushed Hedwig out of the door. "Go find your brother. Mommy is tired. We should let her rest."
"OK, daddy. Take care of mommy." As Hedwig finished talking, she ran away.
