Chapter 309

Catherine's POV

"Catherine?" Blake's voice was deep, and I could tell how tired he was. He didn't hide this languor in front of me, making me feel distressed.

"Blake, we have a visitor at home. Patricia said he was Richard's son. Did you know he was coming?" I said bluntly.

"Nick came to the villa?" Blake sounded surprised. It seemed that he had no idea.

"Yes. He showed up out of nowhere. Was he up to something?" I didn't have any good impression of Richard and his family. So, I wanted to warn Blake about them.

"I will be back early today. Don't worry. If he is on to something, I will replace out!" Blake

comforted me.

"Alright then. Go back to your work. I'll leave you to it," I said gently.

I raised my hand to look at the watch on my wrist. It was already four o'clock. I wanted to go pick up Noah and Hedwig together with Patricia.

When I went downstairs, Patricia was on her way out.

"Patricia, I'll go with you." I quickly stepped forward.

Patricia turned around and looked at me. She said a little seriously, "Why don't you stay at home? You might catch a cold if you go outside, and you'll get headaches in the future. Just stay at home. I will go and pick them up."

"Alright then." I could only nod.

Patricia left in Dowen's car.

It was snowing outside. A cold wind blew toward me, giving me a chill. I muffled up with my coat.

"Catherine, I've never been here before. Will you show me around?" Suddenly, Nick's voice sounded behind me.

I turned around and saw Nick come out of the side parlor with a gentle smile on his face. Though he looked friendly, I did not want to have too much interaction with him. I put on a smile and said, "Feel free to take a look around yourself. I have work to do. Sorry!"

After that, I turned and walked quickly towards the stairs.

Unexpectedly, Nick followed me upstairs, too.

I turned back and looked at him. "Nick, you..."

"Catherine, I meant no harm," Nick said.

"This is Blake's study. It's private. Only the servants are allowed to enter every morning so that they can clean it." I was worried that Nick would go through Blake's stuff, given that the villa was practically empty right now.

Nick looked at me in surprise and then smiled, "Catherine, you got me wrong. I wasn't going to visit his study. I wonder which one is my room during my stay. Catherine, will you kindly show me?"

I pointed to the rooms next to us stiffly. "Those three rooms are all guest rooms. Feel free to pick one."

"Awesome. Thanks." Nick was so polite that I was actually at a loss. How should I respond?

"Actually, I always wondered what Blake's mate would be like. And now, the mystery is solved. You are very pretty," Nick smiled and praised.

"Thank you. I'm sorry, but I'm really worn out. I have to rest now." After that, I quickly left.

I quickly entered the bedroom and closed the door. Though Nick was always smiling, I still had a feeling that he was a dangerous man.

I stayed in the bedroom until the kids came back from school.

Noah and Hedwig opened the door and rushed in. I put down the pencil and looked at their sweet faces. I was instantly in a better mood.

"Mommy, there's a man named Nick downstairs, and he just gave us gifts!" said Hedwig, beaming.

I frowned. "What did he give you?"

"A lot of stuff. He gave us toys and some snacks. They taste great! Patricia said that he is Daddy's brother," Hedwig blinked her big eyes and said with curiosity.

I was surprised that Nick bought gifts for the kids. It looked like he had come prepared.

"Hedwig, Noah, listen to me. If Nick asks you anything, keep your mouth shut, OK? I don't want you to tell him anything, especially when it concerns your daddy." I was afraid that the kids would spill out anything that they shouldn't have. After all, they were only kids.

Noah crossed his arms in front of his chest and said calmly, "Mommy, this Nick guy isn't here to snatch Daddy's money away, is he?"

I was stunned by Noah's words. Then I shook my head. "I don't know why he is here. Just bear in mind that you shouldn't get too close to him."

"Well, Mommy, whatever you say," Noah replied.

Hedwig nodded. "Mommy, don't worry. I won't say anything to him."

I found that my kids had become more mature. They were much taller and smarter.

At this time, the servant told us that Blake was back. I trotted downstairs to welcome him.

"Blake, you're back."

Just when I went downstairs, I saw Nick greeting Blake.

"Yes. When did you come?" Blake was very calm.

Nick shook his head and grinned. "This afternoon. I haven't seen Emerson and Patricia in a

long time."

"Why isn't Richard with you?" Blake asked.

Nick smiled, "Richard just came out of the werewolf prison, and he still needs some time to get used to the outside world. He will be back soon. Also, Richard asks me to apologize to you on his behalf. He is sincerely sorry for what happened back then."

After that, Patricia could no longer stay relaxed.

Blake quipped, "That's it? Is he sorry?"

Nick's expression was stiff, and the room fell silent.

Patricia quickly said, "Enough about that. Today is supposed to be a joyful day. After all, Nick rarely comes back."

I walked over to Blake and took his hand. I would always be by his side no matter when.

I thanked the Moon Goddess for making us mates.

The dinner was very fancy. Though Nick rarely met Patricia and Emerson because of Richard, Patricia and Emerson still doted on Nick very much.

At the dinner table, I was busy taking care of Noah and Hedwig. Blake didn't say a word.

Only Emerson would occasionally ask Nick some questions.

After dinner, Nick offered to go to Emerson's room to play chess with him to kill time, and Emerson happily agreed.

I told Noah and Hedwig that they could have an hour in the toy room before taking a bath, and they ran away with joy.

With a gloomy face, Blake unbuttoned his suit jacket and tugged at his tie. His expression softened only after we returned to our bedroom.

"I think Nick was peeping at you during the meal," Blake sounded strange and got jealous.

He gently embraced me. Then he rested his forehead on my shoulder. He said unhappily," Don't you look at him!"

I turned to look at him. His lips brushed past my face, and I immediately became shy.

"What are you talking about? I didn't look at him at all," I said firmly. I cared about no other men besides Blake.

The Moon Goddess could vouch for me. Blake owned my heart, and now, no other man was

ever as perfect as him.
