My Mate Has Two Wolves

Chapter 342

Catherine's POV

Blake went to work early the next morning.

Suddenly, my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and found that it was Halsey. I was very glad to receive his call. 'Halsey, why are you back so suddenly? You should have told me in advance."

"It was a last-minute call. Can we have dinner together tonight? It would be even better if you could bring the kids together with you," Halsey said gently.

I hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "Let me ask Blake. If he doesn't want me to bring the kids out, I will come alone."

"Alright. See you tonight." Halsey hung up the phone.

Then I called Blake and told him about the call with Halsey. There was a bit of displeasure in Blake's tone. "Is he back?"

"Yes. Can I bring the kids to eat with him?" I asked him nicely, wanting to know his opinion.

"At a time like this, I don't think you should take the kids out." Blake still blamed Halsey.

I didn't insist. "OK then. I will go see him alone. I will be back early."

I went out in Blake's car. Ever since the last accident, Blake had attached great importance to my safety, and he wouldn't allow me to drive whatsoever. Though I felt a bit helpless about this, I didn't dare to express my opinion. Having an exclusive car to pick me up at any time couldn't hurt anyway, right?

I arrived at the restaurant that Halsey picked. Under the escort of two pack guards, I entered the restaurant. From afar, I saw Halsey waving at me. He was sitting by the window. Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.

I said a few words to the guards and walked towards Halsey's table alone.

'Halsey, you are here so early," I smiled.

"I came back this time to see you. Of course, I'm here early." Halsey sized me up.

*Halsey, you don't need to do that. I'm sure you are busy. You'll be exhausted traveling back and forth like this." I felt distressed.

"That won't happen. At the thought of seeing you, I won't be tired at all." Halsey looked at me without blinking. I knew that he treasured every second he spent with me, and he wanted to make up for his absence of more than twenty years.

I smiled heartily. I used to be very tentative about what I said and did when I was with Troy, and I never dared to show a genuine smile. Back then, I figured that he disliked me. I never knew till now that a daughter would only reveal her purest smile when she was in front of her real father.

"Halsey, where are you staying now? Did you go see Abigail?" I asked in a low voice with concern.

"Yes. I had a meal at her place at noon. She told me she was moving in with you, which is a good start. Take care of her for me from now on. I owe her a lot," Halsey said softly and was emotional.

*Sure, Halsey. She is like my mother. I will take care of her and treat her like my own mother," I said seriously.

My response gratified Halsey. He nodded and smiled, "I know you are a good kid. You won't let me down."

"Halsey, are you mad that I didn't bring the kids over?" I asked apologetically.

I knew Halsey wanted to see Noah and Hedwig badly.

"I'm not mad. I'm just a bit sad. After all, I can't come back often. I really want to see them." There was a hint of bitterness and sadness in Halsey's tone.

"Halsey, I will ask them to call you more often. In fact, you know what? Hedwig is such a chatterbox," I comforted him.

"Well, she is a funny one. Catherine, I'm sure you were as cute as her when you were a kid. Hedwig is like the younger version of you." Halsey's eyes turned red, and he inexplicably felt sad and guilty.

'Halsey, let bygones be bygones. On no ground could I be as cute as Hedwig. I was very naughty and wild when I was a kid." I laughed.

"By the way, Catherine, I've thought about something. You don't need to take my sumame. I think you can keep Wyatt as your surname so that others won't be pointing fingers. Besides, you grew up with the Wyatt family after all. Continuing to be part of them might not be a bad thing." Halsey said with a serious expression.

I nodded. "OK. I'll keep the surname as long as you're fine with it."

"How is your head injury? I've always been worried about you," Halsey said.

I reached out and touched my head. The wound had healed completely, leaving only a scar. Fortunately, it was underneath my hair, so it wouldn't affect the way I looked.

"Halsey, don't worry. It's healed now," I said softly.

Halsey and I had never had such a relaxed conversation like this. We chatted as we ate. I asked him a lot about the Fox family's past, and he showed concern about my time with the Wyatt family.

"By the way, Catherine, how do you know Blake? Did you date five years ago?" Halsey suddenly asked, full of curiosity.

My hand that was holding the fork froze for a moment. Then I smiled and said, 'Yes. We met five years ago, and we kind of dated, but we haven't been in touch since, and I never told him about the kids."

Halsey could tell that I was reluctant to talk about this. He didn't ask further and just said with a distressed voice, "If only we had met a few years earlier.'

*Halsey, I dealt with it alright. I didn't find my life hard. The kids are very cute," I immediately smiled.

Still, Halsey felt bad for me. "If you have any troubles, don't hesitate to tell me. Don't keep it to yourself. OK?"

"I promise." I nodded, not wanting him to worry.

After dinner, Halsey took out a box from his bag. "I bought it for you. See if you like it.'

"What is it?" I asked curiously.

Halsey opened the box and took out a bracelet. "Try it on. Let me see."

I reached out so that Halsey could help me put it on my wrist. Under the crystal lamp, the bracelet was glowing and dazzling.

"Halsey, you have great taste. It's so beautiful," I praised sincerely.

Halsey nodded. "It is indeed stunning."

"Thank you, Halsey. I like it very much," I smiled. I would never reject his gifts anymore, since I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

'Don't take it off. If I come across something nice again, I'll get it for you." Halsey was also very glad.

We chatted until we finished the meal. It was almost nine o'clock before I left the restaurant with Halsey.

At this moment, I had no idea that I was stepping into a trap.

I went back to Mountaintop Villa.

It was almost ten o'clock. I went up to the second floor, and the villa was quiet.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

It seemed that Noah and Hedwig were already asleep. I walked to the bedroom, opened the door, and went inside. Blake sat casually on the sofa with the iPad in his hands, staring at the screen. He asked me without raising his head, "You're back so late. Who did you meet?"

My heart skipped a beat. I immediately smiled, "Sorry. I lost track while chatting with Halsey."

"You told me that you would come back early. Yet you made me wait for so long. Only then did Blake throw the iPad away and stood up with a gloomy expression.

'Let's get engaged. I'll tell Patricia to pick a date, and we'll get engaged as soon as possible, Blake suddenly said.

"Where does this come from? I thought you had been busy lately. And we still don't know what will happen to Richard." I was surprised and delighted. Of course, I wanted nothing but to get engaged to Blake as soon as

possible.

It wasn't because I was insecure. It was just that Blake and I were deep in love, and both of us craved proof of our affection. Also, I longed for the Moon Goddess to witness our marriage.

"I have changed my mind. No matter what, we will get engaged." Blake nipped my ear with his lips. "We'll get

down to it tomorrow. I want to be engaged to you in ten days.'

"Alright. You get to call the shots. I was happy when I heard his firm tone.

"What is this?" Suddenly, Blake grabbed my left hand. "Where did it come from?"

I explained, "It's a gift from Halsey."

Blake let go of my hand without saying any harsh words.

I smiled bitterly and shook my head. I realized that it wasn't going to be easy for Blake to accept Halsey.

Blake lay down and waved at me. "Come here. Time for bed."

I nodded and climbed into bed, figuring that I could get a good night's sleep.

But soon, I realized that I was wrong.

Blake rolled over and landed on top of me. His kisses rained down on my face. Finally, he kissed me on the lips.

"It's late," I finally caught a chance to breathe, so I reminded him quickly.

"Don't worry. The later it is, the stronger I am," Blake said cheekily.
