Chapter 123
Catherine‘s POV
Blake turned his head and looked around. He saw my mother‘s tombstone and asked in a low voice,
“Was she your mother?”
“Yes.” I nodded.
“You didn‘t look alike,” said Blake.
My heart suddenly ached, and my tone became cold. I said, “What has it got to do with you?”
Blake said flatly, “What is it? Am I not allowed to say what I think?”
I didn‘t want to bother with him anymore. I squatted down and gently wiped the water off the
tombstone. “Don‘t you know that the truth is the most hurtful?”
Blake said disapprovingly, “That depends. Can‘t I say that I have fallen for you? It‘s the truth.”
“Stop it! I want to talk to my mother.” He pissed me off.
“I‘ll leave you to it. I‘ll be waiting for you down there.” After saying this, Blake took the umbrella and
turned to leave.
I was left alone in front of the tombstone. I crouched down and gently placed the bouquet in my hand
next to the
tombstone.
I settled down.
“Mom, can you tell me whose daughter I am? Can you give me some clues?” I was so sad. I felt sorry
for myself when I thought of my unknown background.
“Thank you for buying me back then. You treated me like your own daughter, but I didn‘t have a chance
to repay you.”
After I finished speaking, I stood up, my eyes already misty.
When I got down, Blake was standing beside his car, waiting for me to come over.
Seeing him, I flustered. I lowered my head and quickly walked to my car.
His tall body blocked me. “Take my car.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“No. I have to get to work.” I lowered my head.
“In such a state?” asked Blake.
“I‘ll go home and change my clothes first.”
“If so, take my car. I‘m heading back as well.” After finishing, his words, he grabbed my hand directly.
My body trembled, and by the time I came back to my senses, I was already in his car, and he sat in as
well
“Wipe your face” His large hand handed over a tissue to me
I reached out, took it, and wiped my lace and eyes with it
“Mayl ask how your mother left you?” Blake asked curiously
“Rogues invasion,” I said simply
“How?” Blake was a little surprised.

“I don‘t know. I was still a kid when it happened. My mother and the Beta were killed by rogues.” 1
closed my eyes and recalled the painful past.
“Don‘t be sad. Let bygones bebygones,” Blake comforted me in a low voice.
I nodded. “I know it, and I‘ve accepted it.”
It was a slow drive back.
I gradually calmed down.
Just when the atmosphere in the car was quiet, suddenly, the car screeched to a halt, and I lurched
forward.
I was shocked. I thought my head would hit the seat, but a big hand reached over and blocked my
chest, preventing me from being hurt.
“I‘m sorry! Some students suddenly rushed out and startled me. Are you alright?”
Blake said in a low voice, “We‘re good. Keep driving.”
I looked down and saw that his hand was still propped up against the car door, and his arm was
pressed against my chest.
“You...” I felt that I should be angry, but then I realized that I shouldn‘t. He just instinctively reached out
to protect
mne.
“Thanks,” I said in a low voice.
Though I could be unreasonable sometimes, I could still tell right from wrong.
Blake looked at me with concern and asked, “Are you alright?”
“Yes,” I said.
The car arrived at the lakeside villa, and we got out of the car. We saw Dowen.
“King Blake, Ms. Wyatt, why are you both wet?” Dowen asked with concern.
Plakr said lightly, “Nothing. We came back to change.”
“OK. Hurry up before you get sick,” Dowen urged anxiously.
I changed my clothes and went downstairs. I saw Blake standing downstairs in a suit as if he was
waiting for me.
“Why are you still here?” I asked in a low voice,
“I‘ll take you to work.” There was a hint of gentleness in Blake‘s voice
I furrowed my brows. I didn‘t refuse him. Instead, I simply thanked him in a low voice,
I got out of the car and stood at the door, watching his motorcade disappear. My heart was a mess.
I was not blind to Blake‘s kindness to me. On the contrary, I sensed it strongly, which made me
flustered
To be honest, I didn‘t know anything about romantic relationships at all i was completely unaware of
how a man
courted a woman
What did the man have to do? And how should the woman tespond? I had no idea. I was completely at
a loss.
I stepped upstairs. The moment I walked into the office, I heard the people in the office talking about
something
Chapter 123
I realized that they were talking about me, since all of them went silent the second they saw me,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd I was right. Melinda came out of her office and called me in after she saw me,
“Catherine, a difficult client is liere. She insists on seeing you I don‘t even know how to send ber away,”
Melinda mocked.
“Who is it?” I was curious.
“Gina.” Melinda said directly. “I know you two have a beer, and I tried to send her away. But she just
wouldn‘t leave, She‘s been here since this morning.”
When I heard Gina‘s name, my face turned cold.
“I‘ll go see her.” I turned and went to the reception room. Then I pushed the door open.
Gina sat on the sofa with her two assistants, looking like a noble young lady.
“I want you to design several clothes for me. You won‘t turn me down, right?” Gina put on a lake smile
when she saw
1. me.
I frowned. “I have two clients already. I‘m fully occupied now.”
“You don‘t want to have me as your client, or you don‘t dare to?” Gina sneered. “You are a designer
working here. Your company has always had a good reputation. I am a customer. How can you turn
down a customer?”
I knew Gina was provoking me on purpose, so I said lightly, “Alright. Tell me. What are your
requirements?”
“In my style, of course. Do you know what my style is? Sexiness!” Gina smiled smugly when she heard
that I agreed.
“OK. I can design a few sets for you. Are you going to pay the deposit now?” I asked professionally.
“Sure!” Gina said directly.
“When do you want them?”
“Next Monday. I have a few outdoor shows. Figure something out for me, will you? Thanks.” Gina
raised her eyebrows with a smile.
