Chapter 265

Blake's POV

I was a little stunned watching Hedwig leave without looking back. It seemed that Hedwig blamed mefor everything.

It was my big mistake not to ask Catherine to stay and Hedwig had every reason to be mad at me.

"Is Hedwig never going to talk to me again?" I turned around and asked Noah as I assumed that kidsalways understood each other better.

Noah shrugged and said indifferently, "I don't know. When stupid Hedwig is sulking, it usually takes aweek for her to get over it. So, just give her some time."

"A week?" I was dumbfounded.

"Alright, forget about stupid Hedwig now. Daddy, what happened to you and mommy? Why did yousuddenly become like enemies?" Noah began to question me.

I knew Noah was going to ask, but I didn't want to tell him.

"Noah, just remember that I didn't have a better choice. My hands are tied!" I couldn't hide the sadnessin my tone.

"Why? What's troubling you? Tell me. I can change mommy's mind. You have to believe me!"

I could tell that Noah wanted to help me get back with Catherine.

"This time, you can't!" I stood up and walked upstairs.

"Daddy... How do you know if you don't give it a try? Do you not love mommy anymore? You don't evenwant to try!" Noah's face froze, and he looked concerned.

I stood on the stairs and turned my back to Noah. My voice was heavy and tired. "It doesn't matterwhether we still love each other or not. Noah, from now on, both you and Hedwig should stay out ofthis, OK? I'm begging you!"

"Are you not afraid that mommy is going to be with Harley? What if they get married? What if they havebabies? Do you really not want mommy anymore?" For the first time, Noah panicked.

I didn't want to lie to Noah. I looked back at Noah's disappointed face. "I want her, but it's not an optionanymore."

After I said so, I walked up the stairs without answering Noah's questions anymore, because everyquestion Noah asked would break my heart.

I went up to the second floor and sat in the study, falling into a trance.

After a long time, I called Henry and asked him to replace someone to keep an eye on Catherine andHarley.

Henry dared not to delay my order. He asked someone to tail Harley and Catherine's car.

What happened was too much for me. I didn't reject Catherine. I couldn't declare to the Moon Goddessthat I was rejecting my mate.

Whenever I thought that I was going to be separated from Catherine forever, my wolf, Leroy, would letout a painful wail.

"Blake, you can't reject our mate," Leroy ordered tiredly.

I couldn't refuse Leroy's request, because that wasn't what I wanted either. But if things went on likethis, I would suffer more and more.

In the afternoon, Patricia came to the lakeside villa to help take care of Noah and Hedwig.

I sat listlessly on the sofa in the parlor, looking at Patricia and Hedwig.

Hedwig looked dejected. She seemed not in the mood to eat or do anything, which made Patricia alittle anxious.

Thus, Patricia stepped forward and asked, "Hedwig, what's the matter?"

"Patricia, do you know that my parents are quarreling?" Hedwig looked up and asked Patricia, her facefull of pleading. "Patricia, I know you love me and Noah the most. Can you talk to them? Can you stopthem from breaking up? If they break up, Noah and I will become orphans!"

"That's not true! You still have your daddy and us. Your daddy and mommy are breaking up. Thedecision was made. I will take care of you and Noah, OK?" Patricia comforted her.

"No... I want mommy. If they break up, I will live with my mommy!" Hedwig said firmly.

Patricia froze.

I could tell that Patricia was surprised at Hedwig's decision because Patricia's expression wassomewhat anxious.

"Hedwig, don't you want to live with me and your daddy? If your daddy doesn't get to see you, he willbe very sad," Patricia tried to persuade Hedwig in a gentle voice.

"Patricia, if I live with my mommy, daddy will come to me when he misses me. He can also see mymommy at the same time! See? I'm so smart!" Hedwig blinked her big eyes, and she was alreadyplanning on getting me and Catherine back together.

Patricia's expression changed slightly. For a moment, she did not know what to say.

In the face of an innocent child, Patricia could no longer utter another harsh word.

I was even more depressed, and so was my wolf.

I returned to the room upstairs alone and quickly fell asleep since I was so tired.

I woke up in the evening. I didn't feel better, instead, I felt more tired.

I heard from other members of the pack before, that werewolves would be weakened when they wereforced to separate from their mates.

I didn't know if I was getting weaker.

Catherine was everywhere in my dreams. I didn't sleep well. In my dreams, I kept seeing her leave andsaw her holding hands and hugging another man.

I must be sick. I always slept well. Why did I suddenly have nightmares like this?

The phone on the nightstand suddenly rang. I glanced at it and reached out to answer it.

"King Blake, the man I sent to follow Ms. Wyatt just reported back. Ms. Wyatt and Harley had lunchtogether and spent the afternoon at several furniture markets. It seemed that they were shopping forfurniture!" Henry spoke in a low voice.

"Shopping for furniture?" I pulled a long face the second I heard these words. I sounded jealous. "Isshe really going to move in with that man?"

"King Blake, does Ms. Wyatt strike you as that kind of woman?"

Henry asked back.

I always thought that Catherine was a simple woman. She would do anything for her kids and she wasnever involved with any men. The villa and the company were the only places she would go. Whathappened to her this time?

She just moved out of my villa, and she went shopping for furniture with another man.

I had a very bad feeling about this. I paced back and forth in the room in frustration.

I had the urge to rush over and bring her over to question her.

How could she be so cruel to me? Why couldn't she give me some time to adapt to this situation?

I was so angry that I was about to lose it. But I knew that I had no right to question her.

I was the one who made all the decisions. She just chose to leave.

She did nothing wrong.

I smashed my phone against the wall. For the first time, I felt like I was going crazy.

Catherine and I had nothing to do with each other from now on. She went shopping for furnituretogether with Harley like a couple. Such thoughts were tearing me apart.

But what could I do?

I picked up the desk phone and called Dowen. "Bring some wine to my study!"
