My Mate Has Two Wolves

Chapter 255

Third person's POV

Since Jessica was no longer in a pickle, Catherine was prepared to leave. She said to Leo, "I'm leaving now. Have fun!"

"Alright!" Leo wanted Catherine to stay longer, but he dared not to say it.

Catherine said bye to Jessica and left.

Catherine drove home. The lights in the parlor were dimmed. She tiptoed upstairs, cracked the door of Noah's room, and heard Blake whispering bedtime stories to the children. For an instant, Catherine was stunned and somehow felt warm inside.

Blake raised his head. His eyes met Catherine's as she leaned against the door.

"Mommy..."

"Mommy, didn't you go to a birthday party? You're back so early!"

"Is it because you miss us so much?" Hedwig asked with a smile.

Noah pursed his lips. "I think she missed daddy!"

"It's late. Why are you still up? Don't pester daddy all the time. He has a lot of work during the day and is very busy." Catherine lectured the kids with a serious face.

"Mommy, daddy wanted to read bedtime stories to us. We didn't ask him!" Hedwig complained.

Blake kissed Hedwig on the head. "Hedwig, go to sleep with Mommy. You still have school tomorrow."

"No! I want daddy tonight!" Hedwig lay in Blake's arms, stretched out her hands, and hugged him tightly. "Mommy, can I switch with Noah tonight? I want to be with daddy."

Blake seemed happy with Hedwig's request. He reached out and hugged her. "OK. You'll stay in daddy's room tonight. Noah will go with mommy!"

Noah jumped off the bed quickly and put on his slippers. "Good night, daddy!"

Catherine pulled Noah's hand and went to her room.

The kids fell asleep around ten o'clock, and they slept soundly.

Catherine set her phone on silent mode. Suddenly, her phone vibrated. She wondered who would text her at this time.

She checked her phone. It was Blake.

He texted two words.

"The study!"

Catherine chuckled and quickly covered her mouth, trying not to wake Noah.

She got up and put on her slippers quietly.

As she reached the door, she looked back at Noah. She was relieved that he was still sleeping soundly.

Catherine walked out of the door and saw the light in the study was on.

It seemed that Blake was already in the study.

She walked over quickly.

The door was opened. Blake caught her face and pressed his lips to hers before Catherine could speak.

The two of them rolled onto the sofa. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Catherine was so shocked that her scalp went numb. Blake calmed down as well. He looked at Catherine and frowned.

"Blake, are you in there?"

Patricia's voice came through the door and shocked both of them.

Catherine almost cried. She lowered her voice as much as she could. "I'm going to hide. Patricia can't see me here!"

"It's fine..."

"No! No way! I'll go hide over there!" Without waiting for Blake's reply, she rushed to the bookshelf and hid behind it. She also drew the drapes from the French windows to completely cover herself.

Blake tied his robe and went to open the door.

"Patricia, it's so late. Why are you here?" Blake asked lazily, pretending that nothing was going on.

Patricia entered the door and sat down on the sofa. Her breathing was a little rapid as she said, "I just remembered something very important."

Blake was a little surprised. He said gently, "Just catch up with your breath first. Why were you in such a hurry?"

"The obsidian necklace... The one belonged to Catherine... I finally remembered where I had seen it before! Though I'm not so sure, I have to check it!" Patricia caught her breath at last and told Blake what she wanted to say.

Blake had a bad feeling about it. He glanced at the spot where Catherine was hiding, and his breathing became a bit rapid. "Grandma, is this why you come to me at this hour? Can we talk about it tomorrow? You shouldn't stay up so late. Let me get you back to rest, OK?"

"I can't sleep at the thought of this and the Fox family. Is Catherine asleep? Can you go into her room and take her necklace out for me to take a look? I didn't get a good look last time!" Patricia ignored Blake's words and brought up the Fox family.

Blake's voice was a little dry. "Grandma, what does the Fox family have to do with this? You must have made a mistake. It's just an ordinary necklace. Many families will keep one or two." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"I know. I just want to be sure. Do you know where the necklace comes from? It was your grandfather's father who gave it to the Fox family. I was there when the two families became friends!" Patricia sounded excited.

Blake trembled. He was shocked at Patricia's words.

"Grandma, it's late. Let's talk about that tomorrow. I've looked into Catherine's parents. They passed away. And her necklace was missing. We do not know who took it. Anyway, it's nowhere to be found now!" Blake struggled for breath. He feared that Patricia might say more about it, and his heart skipped a beat.

"What? Missing? How could that be? I saw it a few days ago. Did Catherine toss it away? Was it because she didn't want me to see it again?" Patricia asked bluntly.

Meanwhile, Catherine froze and she was hiding behind the drapes. Her eyes were filled with confusion.

She didn't know anything about the Fox family, and she wondered if her necklace had anything to do with them.

Blake said seriously, "Grandma, why would you think that? She was worried too, and wanted to find it more than anyone else!"

Patricia frowned, looking puzzled. How could the necklace disappear just like that? That's strange.

"I'll ask her myself tomorrow. Go to sleep!" Patricia decided to ask Catherine personally tomorrow.

After Blake closed the door, he suddenly realized something. He looked up at Catherine as she came out from behind the drapes.

Catherine was stunned. She looked at Blake in confusion and asked, "Patricia just mentioned my necklace. Does she know where my family is?"
