My Mate Has Two Wolves
Chapter 296

  Chapter 296

　　Catherine's POV

　　Blake was stunned at Hedwig's words. He probably didn't expect Hedwig to pay so much attention to his emotions.

　　When I looked at him, he avoided my eyes.

　　"Who was it? Did something happen in the pack? Is the pack in trouble?" I thought his bad mood had something to do with that phone call.

　　Blake shook his head and replied in a low voice, "No. Nothing happened. Don't listen to Hedwig. I'm fine."

　　"Alright then. I guess Hedwig is making a big deal out of it." I chuckled.

　　Blake looked up at me. I knew that I wasn't pretty since my head was still wrapped in gauze.

　　Yet his look was filled with questions, as if he wanted answers from me. It made me worried.

　　"There's something urgent in the pack. Get some rest at home." Blake walked in front of me. He tucked my hair behind my ear with his slender fingers. His voice was very gentle.

　　"Just go ahead. I'll be fine." I knew that he had spent too much time taking care of me this week. Works in the pack must have piled up, and he needed to deal with them.

　　"Call me if anything happens. Whatever you want to eat, just tell Dowen. OK?" Blake needed to leave, but he was still worried about me.

　　I lowered my head and chuckled. I nodded. "Don't worry about me. I am a grown woman, not a kid. If I want to eat something, I will tell Dowen. Go ahead and deal with your work."

　　Blake looked at my smiling face and sighed. Then he said, "Cathy, you make me worry."

　　"Why?" I blinked, not following.

　　Blake sighed, "Nothing. I just don't want anything to happen to you again. Take care of yourself. I will come home soon. By the way, I'll ask Leo to come for dinner today."

　　I looked away when I heard that name. Then I lowered my head and replied, "OK. I will tell Patricia later and ask Dowen to prepare more food."

　　Blake stared at my face. I didn't know what was on his mind.

　　When I looked at him, I could tell he was in agony.

　　Then he turned around and left. I watched his tall figure disappear from my sight.

　　As Blake left, I felt powerless and sat down on the sofa.

　　For some reason, whenever Leo's name was mentioned, I got a little freaked out.

　　I felt as if I had betrayed Blake. Maybe I did, in a way.

　　I supported my forehead with one hand. For a moment, I didn't know what to do.

　　I would never hide anything from Blake except this. I wanted to hide it from him forever. Preferably, he wouldn't replace out about it till the day I died.

　　Time passed quickly, and the sky darkened.

　　Blake returned early. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

　　I had noticed Patricia and Emerson that Leo would come back for dinner tonight.

　　Patricia and Emerson were very happy, because today, the family got to gather together again.

　　Suddenly, the pack guards at the entrance of the Mountaintop Villa called.

　　I sat next to Blake, and I heard what they said on the phone.

　　"King Blake, Mr. Fox, and a lady who claims to be your mother were at the entrance. Shall we let them pass?"

　　Blake's expression changed instantly.

　　Patricia was standing next to him. She asked with concern, "Blake, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

　　"Halsey and Abigail are here. They want to come in." Blake said without hiding anything.

　　Patricia pulled a long face. She said angrily, "Why are they here?"

　　"They probably have heard about Cathy's accident and wanted to check on her." Blake had been keeping a low profile regarding my accident, so I had no idea how Halsey and Abigail found out about it.

　　Patricia's face was gloomy. Blake always cared about Patricia's health. Therefore, when he saw her expression, he immediately said, "Patricia, don't be angry. If you don't want to see them, I will tell the pack guards right away."

　　I bit my lip anxiously as I heard him say so.

　　"Never mind. Let them in!" after a few seconds of silence, Patricia spoke.

　　Blake was a little surprised and looked at Patricia. "I thought you didn't want to see them."

　　I also looked at her in surprise.

　　"I didn't. But Catherine is his daughter after all. Since she was in an accident, it's normal that he wants to visit her." Patricia somehow came around and became reasonable.

　　Blake nodded. "Alright. Let them in."

　　Blake told the pack guards to let them in and frowned.

　　I secretly glanced at his gloomy expression and said, "If you don't want us to meet here, I'll take Halsey out for dinner."

　　I would love that since I was trying to avoid Leo.

　　"No need. You can talk to him here," Blake immediately refused.

　　I said uneasily, "Or maybe I'll take him to the Lakeside Villa."

　　"Patricia has agreed to let them in. You don't need to go anywhere, just stay." Blake stared at me without blinking, as if I were his prey.

　　I bit my lips and nodded. Then I said gratefully, "Thank you for letting me meet Halsey."

　　"He is your father after all. The fact that he comes here proves that he is a good father," Blake said in a somewhat unpleasant tone. After that, he turned and went out.

　　I could tell that he was a bit unhappy. Was it because of Halsey?

　　I hurried to the door and soon saw a black car parked at the entrance to the hall. Halsey and Abigail stepped out of the car, both looking awkward.

　　"Halsey." I was very happy to see Halsey. Although he and I had never lived together, we were father and daughter after all.

　　Halsey saw the gauze wrapped around my head and felt worried. He quickly took a few steps forward and asked with concern, "Cathy, are you alright? I heard you were in a car accident. I was so scared."

　　I shook my head. "I am fine. See? I'm standing right here. Don't worry."

　　Abigail followed behind Halsey. I nodded at her, and she smiled.

　　"I'll leave you two to it. I will go in first," Abigail said and stepped into the gate of the Mountaintop Villa.

　　She was nice to let me and Halsey spend some time alone.
