Chapter 239
Catherine's POV
Blake smiled and asked, "What is it? Are you too touched to eat it?"
"Not at all!" I took a big bite of the bread. It tasted so good, so I took another bite.
Blake opened his car door and said, "What are you waiting for?"
I quickly turned around and sat in his car. Blake suddenly reached out and gently touched the corner of my mouth.
"You ate like a kid." Blake smiled.
I felt shy again.
I quickly finished the bread in silence. Then he passed me a bottle of water.
I was stunned for a moment and saw that Blake had already unscrewed the lid. He looked at me with a smile. "Drink up."
"OK!" He was so considerate and took good care of others. He always made me feel warm.
He was my mate. I had never loved someone so much. But I'm not used to such sweet feelings.
I drank up the water. Suddenly, Blake said in a low voice, "Come to my office later. Let's have lunch together."
"Why? "
"Because, if not, I'll miss you too much that I can't work," Blake whispered. It was intoxicating, making me drown in it.
I felt that I stopped breathing for a moment and I got his point.
"Why will you suddenly miss me so much?" I pretended not to realize what he meant and curled my lips into a smile.
Blake leaned toward me. He whispered in my ear with a hoarse voice, "You shouldn't challenge me."
"Just stop that." This was so embarrassing.
"I take that as a yes," Blake smiled sinisterly. He looked smug, like someone with a successful threat.
I pulled a wry face. After what he said, I had to agree with him. Otherwise, I would be too ruthless to him.
"Yes." I nodded.
When the car arrived in front of the lobby of the company, Blake pinched my palm gently. I couldn't help but chuckle.
Third person's POV
After Catherine entered the elevator, Blake told the driver to hit the road. Then he took out his phone and called Dowen.
When Dowen received Blake's call, he was a little surprised. "King Blake, what can I do for you?"
"Has Patricia sent the kids to school yet?" Blake asked in a low voice.
"Yes. They have just left!" Dowen replied.
"Go upstairs to Catherine's room and bring me her obsidian necklace from her nightstand," Blake said.
"King Blake, will that be OK? It's Ms. Wyatt's stuff." Dowen was in a pickle.
"Don't worry, Dowen. I will keep you out of this. But I have to get rid of the necklace as soon as possible. After you take the necklace away, pay some servant and make her the scapegoat."
Blake no longer cared what the consequences might be. He just wanted to hide the necklace as soon as possible. He didn't want Patricia to see it again. Maybe in this way, Patricia wouldn't remember who was the owner of it.
"OK, King Blake. I'll go get it now!" Dowen could hear the anxiety in Blake's tone, and he knew he was being serious.
Dowen found the necklace in the drawer and sent it to Blake's company immediately.
Blake sat in the office, holding the obsidian necklace in his hand.
Then he put the obsidian necklace into a safe next to his desk and locked it.
No one could stand in the way of the wonderful life he and Catherine shared now.
At the same time, Blake asked Henry to negotiate with the royal treasury. Since Blake was willing to donate two million dollars, the curator was more than willing to give him the necklace in exchange.
Henry gave Blake the necklace he brought from the treasury in confusion and asked curiously, "King Blake, two million dollars for a necklace? Is that really worth it?"
Blake locked the necklace into the safe and said faintly, "Two million dollars is nothing. I might even give him ten million dollars if that's what he asks!"
Henry was shocked again and was even more puzzled. "King Blake, what is this necklace to you?"
"I don't want to talk about it!" There was a hint of frustration in Blake's tone. He wished the result could be changed.
Henry knew that he may have crossed the line and stopped asking more questions. "I see. King Blake, is there anything else I can do for you?"
Blake looked at the time and said, "It's almost lunch break. Get someone to prepare some lunch. I will eat with Catherine."
Henry nodded. "Yes. I'll do it right away!"
Catherine's POV
At noon, when I got off work, I called Blake. He had already told the driver to wait for me downstairs.
I went downstairs, got into the car, and headed to Blake's company.
I got out of the car when I arrived at the headquarters of his company. When I passed by the grand hall, I caught everyone's attention instantly.
When I reached the elevator, Henry was already waiting there with a smile. "Ms. Wyatt, please follow me."
There was a private elevator exclusive to Blake. I glanced at Henry gratefully and followed him. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
The elevator reached the floor of the CEO's office, and Henry led me into a lounge.
"King Blake is still at work. He will be here soon!" After saying that, Henry closed the door and left.
I walked to the French windows. Standing at this height and looking down, everything looked tiny from this angle.
The cars on the streets were like small boxes moving slowly. Blake must be in a good mood to work in such a place every day.
I suddenly thought of Noah's wish. I hadn't brought the kids here for the view yet. I was sure Noah would love the scenery here.
I sat on the sofa, and an assistant came over with a hot drink. When she left, she couldn't help but size me up a few times.
I felt like I had become a rare species at some point, and there would always be too much attention on me.
I knew it wasn't because I was outstanding, but because I was related to the Lycan King.
So far, Blake had been handling his personal affairs well. At least I didn't find any traces of other women around him. Since I met him, he had always come home on time to be with the kids. When he got stuck at work, he would notice in advance.
If he had another woman, she would come to me and challenge me already.
Emily and Gina were perfect examples. Even if I didn't take the initiative to find them, they would come to me first.
