Chapter 186
Catherine's POV
I quickly hugged Hedwig and kissed her cheek. "Don't you have daddy with you?"
"Daddy is not enough. I want both of you!" Hedwig said greedily.
Noah snorted, "Stupid Hedwig. When can you learn to be independent? I've seen you eat every day, but I haven't seen you grow up."
I couldn't help but chuckle as I saw Noah tease Hedwig again.
Hedwig glared at Noah. "I miss mommy. What's wrong with that?"
I turned to Noah and said, "Enough. Stop talking to Hedwig like that. Hedwig was sick the other day, and I wasn't there for her. I'm so sorry."
Noah instantly grinned. "Mommy, you have no idea. When the doctor was treating Hedwig, she kept screaming, 'Daddy, it hurts!' She screamed so loudly!"
I looked at Hedwig's face, which was still a bit pale, and my heart ached.
"Mommy!" Hedwig immediately leaned into my arms. "Mommy, when you are done with your work, you have to accompany me more, OK?"
I nodded. "Don't worry. When my work is finished, I will ask for a leave and accompany you for a few days!"
Meanwhile, Dowen walked over. "Ms. Wyatt, King Blake just said he would be back later."
"I see!" A sense of loss flashed across my heart. I came back early, because I didn't get to see enough of him these days. It was unfortunate that he couldn't come back for dinner.
However, at the thought of the kids, I put my bit of loss away.
Blake's POV
I told Dowen that I would go back late tonight, because I was about to meet someone.
I went to a luxurious box. My mood changed instantly when I saw the gorgeous woman sitting in the box.
"Blake..." The woman suddenly stood up from the chair, looking at me with her beautiful eyes happily.
I looked at her and said indifferently, "When did you come back to Sayreville?"
"I just got back several days ago." The woman lowered her head, her eyes filled with sadness. "Blake, for so many years, I've been ashamed to see you. I couldn't face you."
"Is your father released?" I looked at my uncle's adopted daughter, Emily Chavez. My feelings were complicated.
I couldn't deny that Emily had been with me through my saddest, darkest times. At that time, I even thought I had some feelings for her that I failed to understand.
Until that day, she followed me to the mating gathering in Shadow Forest, and I drank the drink she gave me.
All my feelings for her turned into smoke and vanished.
"Yes. He was released two days ago. He's suffered a lot in the werewolf prison, and he's aged a lot." Emily lowered her head. Her voice was sad.
"What does he want from me by sending you here?" I sneered.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Emily's body trembled, and she looked at me sadly. "Blake, he didn't ask me to come back. It's me who wants to see you. For so many years, I have been blaming myself for what happened five years ago. I didn't know there were poisonous weeds in that drink."
"Didn't your father want me to be weak after having that drink? In such a way, you could do whatever you wanted to me," I sneered. "Didn't he just want to destroy me?"
"No, Blake, it's not like that. I never meant to ruin our relationship. I know that you have always been very respectful to me. That day, after you ran out, did you go and find another woman?" Emily's face turned pale.
My voice was flat and calm as I said, "Emily, you may have misunderstood. I have never liked you. You're the woman my uncle sent to get close to me. When I was most sad and painful, you took care of me both physically and mentally. Yes, I thought that I almost fell in love with you. But I kept my sanity till I knew what my uncle was up to."
"But I like you. I do. Blake, I know you are well aware of my feelings for you. I admit that my adoptive father arranged for me to take care of you in the beginning, but I did it willingly. He didn't force me." Emily's eyes were wet.
Looking at her crying face, I stood up and said, "You are right about one thing. I met another female werewolf in Shadow Forest that day, and we had sex. Now, I'm in love with her. Emily, you are my past. I am nothing but ruthless. I don't care about the past."
Emily's face was deadly pale. She shook her head sadly. "No! Blake, it's not funny. I don't believe you. How can the woman you randomly met be your mate?"
I ignored her tear-streaked face and said coldly, "It seems that you don't know me well enough. Emily, I let go of the past, because I am grateful for your care for me. Don't call me ever again."
"Don't go..." Emily suddenly rushed over and hugged my waist tightly from behind. She said, "Blake, you've been on my mind for five years. I miss you so much. I miss our past. Blake, I am still your favorite Emily. I have not changed, and my feelings for you have not changed."
Her words were so affectionate, yet I mercilessly pulled her hands away.
"I might have feelings for you once, but not anymore. Don't flatter yourself. I have already found the love of my life."
"Is it that Catherine?" Emily was heartbroken.
I replied in a low voice, "Yes, it's her!"
"Blake, does she have something on you? I know you. You won't get attached to a woman so easily." Emily's voice was still filled with disbelief.
I stared at her. "I know you have a lot of spies in the company, but don't be too presumptuous. No one is allowed to fathom my feelings."
Emily closed her eyes and said painfully, "I've been regretting it these years while taking care of our grandparents. I regret it. Blake, can we go back and start all over again?"
I growled, "No! Never! Stop dreaming."
"Do you remember the knife I blocked for you? I am willing to risk my life to protect you. Why can't you repay me with your love?" Emily suddenly undid her blouse, revealing the faint scar on her breasts. "I still remember. You held me in your arms and ran for a long time to find me a doctor that day. Blake, at that moment, I knew you loved me. You had me in you."
I quickly looked away from her fair, bulging breasts.
"You were hurt because of me. I saved you, because I had a conscience. You've got the wrong idea."
