Catherine‘s POV
I thought I‘d never talk to him again. I didn‘t expect to receive his call.
I pressed the button to answer the call, but for a moment, I did not know how to address him, because he was not my father.
“Catherine, how have you been?” Alpha Wyatt asked me in a concerned tone.
“I‘m fine,” I replied.
“Are you free tonight? I want to have dinner with you. Even though we can‘t be father and daughter, you can still think of me as your family.” His words upset me.
I refused him directly, “No. I‘m busy tonight. I‘ve been caught up with work lately. Also, I don‘t think we should meet again. We are no longer relatives.”
“Catherine, I can understand that you don‘t want to be family with me. But are you serious about not seeing me ever again?” He said sadly.
I was now officially Blake’s girlfriend, which was a known fact. After we got married, I would be the Lycan Luna of the royal pack.
I would no longer be a rogue.
Alpha Wyatt was smart. Though he wasn‘t a man in search of fame and fortune, he knew very well that I would be distinguished.
“Yes. I have made up my mind. Since you‘re not my father, we might as well be strangers. You have your life, and I have mine. I won‘t bother you, and I hope you can leave me alone as well.” My words sounded harsh, but they came from my heart.
I would never forget what Gina and Elena did to me. The only reason that I didn‘t get even with them was that I had lived in Black Moon Pack for years.
I had repaid Alpha Wyatt for his upbringing. Therefore, we were done.
“Catherine, I‘m sorry. The thought of not being able to see you ever again makes me so sad.” He suddenly became very emotional, and he choked with sobs.
I said indifferently, “Don‘t be sad. All this time, I have been dispensable to you. Now
that I‘m gone, shouldn‘t you be glad?”
“Catherine, don‘t think like that. I‘ve always treated you as my daughter. I didn‘t do well enough to be a good father, but I think of you as my daughter from the bottom of my heart.”
“If there is nothing else, I‘ve got to go. I still have work to do.” I did not give him a chance to speak. I hung up the phone.
I should be tough. I was not alone anymore. I had two kids. I needed to toughen up for the kids‘ sake.
It was already past six o‘clock in the afternoon, and I still hadn‘t finished my work. I might have to go home late.
“Mommy... Haven‘t you finished your work yet?” Hedwig picked up and asked in a cute voice.
All of a sudden, my heart was warmed by my daughter‘s childish voice.
My tone softened as I said, “Yes. I have something important to do recently.”
“Mommy, why don‘t you let daddy help you? I’m sure daddy will be very helpful!” Hedwig was very considerate.
Ichuckled. “It‘s my job. Daddy can‘t help it. I have to do it myself.”
“Well, mommy, don‘t be too tired. And don‘t come back too late. I want you to hold me to sleep!” Hedwig pouted and said with great concern.
“OK. Once it‘s over here, I will go back and be with you!” I nodded with a smile.
Hedwig blew me a kiss and hung up the phone.
I suddenly felt much more energetic and high–spirited to work.
I was busy in the meeting room when someone knocked on the door suddenly. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
I opened the door and saw Henry. He smiled at me and said, “Ms. Wyatt, King Blake is here!”
“That‘s so romantic. King Blake is here to see you personally! What a perfect boyfriend!”
“That‘s right! Can I sneak a peek at King Blake?”
My face burnt up as I listened to the people exclaiming.
Henry clapped his hands, and a few pack guards came in with a lot of delicious food in
their hands.
“‘This is from King Blake for your service to the company. Thanks for your devotion!”
I looked at the table full of delicious food, and my heart beat faster.
Blake was here for me, and he also brought delicacies for my colleagues. Was he buying his popularity?
“Ms. Wyatt, King Blake is waiting for you in your office!” Henry said.
I thanked him in a low voice and quickly walked to the office.
I pushed open the office door and saw Blake leaning against my desk in an unbridled manner with his hands in his pockets.
He was wearing a suit and tie. The flame in his eyes was flickering, which was intoxicating. My heart was already a mess under his gaze.
“Why are you here?“I asked, trying to suppress my flutter.
I was confused. I didn‘t tell him that I was working late. How did he know I was still
here?
“Noah called me, so I came here to see you.” Blake told me honestly. His voice was low and magnetic.
I was slightly stunned. Naughty Noah!
“You‘re already working so late. You don‘t have to come here. Go home and get some rest. Be with Noah and Hedwig,” I said, pretending to be calm and modest.
“Aren‘t you happy that I‘m here for you?” Blake raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes a little disappointed.
I took a decp breath. I knew that he would twist my words.
“I‘m happy, of course. I’m certainly honored to have King Blake here.” I smiled shyly.
Blake approached me slowly. His voice was still low as he said, “Drop the business–like tone. I want to hear the answer from your heart. Are you happy that I‘m here for you?”
I nodded slightly. “Yes.”
“Have you had dinner yet?” asked Blake.
“Not yet. I ordered some pizza.” I glanced at a big bag on the desk. Did Blake bring me food as well?
“Don‘t eat junk food anymore. You‘re skinny enough. Come here!” Blake gently took my hand and led me to the small sofa at the side. “I asked Henry to bring you something to eat. Eat it while it‘s still warm.”
Hearing that, I was somehow grateful. “Thanks! Care to join me?”
Blake chuckled. “Open it. If there‘s enough, I’ll grab a bite together with you to eat a little. I‘ll go home and eat with the kids later anyway!”
I opened the bag. In the bag were a portion of nice roasted steak and a bowl of creamy mushroom soup.
