Catherine's POV
As soon as Blake left, I immediately felt that the office was extremely empty. I felt so bored that I paced in his office. I checked every comer.
Though his office was big, there weren't many things in the room. In this case, it seemed empty. And that was why I felt lonely here.
Yet, Blake worked here for several years. He was able to endure this loneliness. It could feel how lonely he must have been.
When I thought of this, my heart ached. The more I loved him, the more I could experience the loneliness he had once felt.
An hour had passed. The office door was pushed open by a pair of slender hands.
I saw him while sitting on the sofa.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
"Were you bored?" He threw the documents on the desk, walked to my side, and sat down.
I shook my head. I looked at every corner of his office. I felt that I understood the man in front of me more.
"Hedwig and Noah are going to start their holiday today, right?" Blake suddenly asked.
"Yes, it is today." I nodded lightly.
'I want to send you and the children › Europe for Christmas. Do you want to go?" Blake suddenly said.
When I heard his words, I was stunned. "Why?" I asked.
Blake laughed and explained, "I just want the children to be happy."
'I don't think so. They are happy when they are with you." I wasn't stupid. I could guess why Blake said this. How could I be at ease?
Blake was stunned for a moment. He reached out and pulled me into his arms. He patted my shoulder lightly." Catherine, you should know that I have other intentions. Richard might come back. I don't want you and the children to meet him."
"What will happen if we meet? Will he eat us?" I laughed lightly.
Blake shook his head. "Of course not, he won't eat you. He seems to be kind to everyone. But people don't know how scary he is under that disguise. I don't want you and the children to meet him. I am afraid that he will have evil thoughts about you or the children without me knowing."
"I will tell the children and let them be wary of Richard." I stretched out my hands and hugged him tightly. I was really afraid of being separated from him.
Blake sighed softly. His voice was filled with love. "Alright, I won't force you if you don't want to go. I am happy to stay by your side."
"Promise me, no matter what, don't push me and the children away, okay?" I said in his arms.
Blake chuckled "Okay, I promise you, I will protect you and the children. The children are on holiday, so you don't have to go to work. Take care of the two children at home. I'm afraid that Patricia can't handle them."
"Why don't you take Abigail back? The children like her very much." I didn't intend to leave the job of taking care of the children to Abigail. I just felt that since the relationship between Abigail and Blake had eased, they should live together then. That was what home meant.
"Ask her to come over for dinner tonight. We can discuss this when the time comes. I called Leo as well. He promised to come over for dinner," said Blake.
"Okay! If Abigail is willing to take care of the children at home, they won't be so bored," I said happily.
"Are you trying to slack off?' Blake laughed.
"No!" I immediately shook my head.
At night, Blake brought me back. Abigail had already come over. She was gently making paper flowers with Hedwig.
"Daddy, Mommy, you are back!" Hedwig looked up and saw us. She ran over happily.
Abigail also had a smile on her face.
*Abigail!" Blake felt uneasy since they had been distant from each other over the years.
"Blake!" Abigail was overjoyed.
"Daddy, Abigail, and I made a lot of paper flowers. Later, I want to make Emerson a gift. He is ill, lying on the bed. I'm so worried about him." Hedwig couldn't understand the feelings between adults. Because of this, her words made us even sadder.
Especially Blake, he squatted down and touched his daughter's soft long hair. He said gently, "Hedwig, you are such a good girl. Can you help me take care of Emerson when I go out to work?"
'I will. Noah seriously. Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.
upstairs right now. Emerson wants to chat with him." Hedwig blinked her big eyes and nodded
'Really? Do you know what they are talking about?" Blake was startled.
"I don't know. Emerson only called Noah upstairs." Hedwig pouted and said.
Blake stood up and turned to me. "You and Abigail stay here with Hedwig. I will go upstairs to have a look."
"Okay!" I nodded.
Blake's POV
I climbed the stairs with heavy steps. This time, I did not stand outside the door and eavesdrop, but knocked on the door and went in.
I saw Noah standing on the edge of the bed, listening to Emerson.
"Daddy!" Noah smiled cutely when he saw me come in.
When Emerson saw me come in, he also smiled, "Noah is very much like you when you were a child. He's smart."
I couldn't help but chuckle. "Yes, very much like me, but I feel that he is a little naughtier than me."
Noah pouted.
"What did you talk to Emerson about?" I changed the subject.
*Emerson said he would give a lot of money," Noah said, blinking his big eyes.
I immediately looked at Emerson, who was lying on the bed weakly with a pale face, 'Emerson!".
Emerson was tortured by the pain and became thinner. However, he seemed to be pleased when he looked at me. "Noah and Hedwig are the best gifts you have given me. I am very happy.".
'Emerson, why do you say so?" I tried to hold back my sadness.
"It's nothing. I just suddenly thought of this. Hedwig and Noah are the future of our pack. I decided to divide my shares into five parts. Hedwig and Noah will get 40 percent. The rest will equally go to Leo, Nick, and Patricia." Emerson said in a gentle voice.
'Emerson, Noah, and Hedwig are still young. You don't have to...' I couldn't help but say.
"I know. I do it simply because I love them." Emerson looked lovingly at Noah next to him.
'Noah, go downstairs to find Patricia. I have something to say to Emerson." I said to Noah in a relatively serious tone.
Noah waved his hand at Emerson and ran out.
I sat down and looked at Emerson with a distressed gaze. "Emerson, Richard will be angry if you do so." "It's pointless even if he is angry. This is my decision and my shares should be distributed by me.' Emerson did not have the angry expression he usually had when he talked about Richard before. He just said calmly.
'I know, but I still hope that you can think it over again."
"Blake, did Richard do anything again..."
'No, Richard stayed quiet," I replied immediately.
Only then did Emerson seem to heave a sigh of relief. "As long as he doesn't do anything stupid again, I am relieved. To be honest, what I am most worried about is the grudge between you two. You don't hate him, but I am afraid he will not let go."
"Richard should have figured it out as well," I said.
'That's true. No matter how fierce he was, after staying in the werewolf prison, he should be much calmer now. He is not young anymore, so he should not be so ambitious. Emerson smiled helplessly.
I knew that Emerson was most worried about the grudge between Richard and me. However, Richard framed Marc, and I was almost killed by him. Fortunately, I escaped and sent him to prison. Only then did I win five years of peaceful life. Now, I was afraid that my peaceful life would end soon.
"Blake, there is something I want to tell you!" Emerson suddenly sounded hesitant.
I looked at Emerson and waited for him to speak.
Emerson suddenly reached out and covered one side of his face and eyes. seemed that he didn't want to think about it and he didn't have the face to say it.
"It's about Marc!" After Emerson said it, an expression of self-mockery appeared on his face. 'Marc disappoints me. I expected so much from him."
"Emerson, what exactly is it? Tell me, no matter what it is, just tell me." I had a hunch that what Emerson was about to say would be very helpful to me.
'Not long after Marc was rejected by Abigail, he suddenly regretted what he had done. I went to ask the doctor in the pack. I was told that a drug had been found in his system. The doctor said this kind of drug has an
aphrodisiac effect on werewolves." Emerson said painfully.
"Emerson, was Marc drugged by someone, or did he take it himself?" I couldn't help but ask.
'I asked Olivia. She said that Marc asked her to bring the wine over. And he also asked her to add the drug to the wine." The more Emerson said the paler his face became.
I was shocked. This meant things about Marc were getting more complicated. Emerson said that Olivia had given the messages on Marc's mobile phone as evidence, but were those messages really sent by Marc? Or had someone forged the evidence and escaped the crime?
"I hated such kinds of things, so when I found out that Richard drugged your wine, I was angry and locked him up.
I had already lost a son, and I did not want to lose you again. I knew that Richard must blame me for being cruel
to him, but I did want such a tragedy to happen again." Emerson coughed.
I asked with concern, "Emerson, are you alright?"
'I'm fine. I just want you to know about this. In the future, you must be careful when you do everything.' Emerson
instructed me.
I nodded, but I was even more determined in my heart. I had to find Olivia so that the truth would come out.
