Chapter 268


    Catherine''s POV


    I followed Leo to a separate room. Leo suddenly turned and stared at me fiercely. "Are you really


    Halsey''s daughter?"


    I nodded. "Yes. I am Halsey''s daughter. Do you hate me?"


    Leo walked to the sofa and sat down. He said, "Are you sad that your wedding is off?"


    "Yes, I am!" I did not attempt to conceal my emotions. "But there''s nothing we can do. There''s no way


    we''re getting married..."


    I was in so much pain that I could not speak.


    Leo looked away and said sarcastically, "How was this possible? You are his mate!"


    "But my father hurt you and ke. I''m sorry," I apologized.


    "Why should you be apologizing to me? It''s not your fault. Halsey should make up for the mistake he


    made," Leo snarled.


    "I know. But I''m still his daughter!" I was so sad.


    "What does ke think? Does he hate you?" Leo asked as he looked at me.


    I shook my head. "No. He''s in pain, too. He''s sick now. Maybe you should go check on him."


    "Looks like he takes it hard. I always thought that the Lycan King would not get sick." Leo seemed


    surprised.


    "I assume Patricia has exined everything to you. I won''t show up if you don''t want to see me again."


    Leo suddenly pulled me into his arms. I was so scared that my body stiffened.


    Leo gently kissed my forehead and whispered, "No. I refuse to be strangers with you. Catherine,


    believe it or not, if ke does not marry you, I will. I want you to be my wife!"

    "What are you talking about?" I was so scared that I pushed him away. "Leo, are you crazy? How can I


    marry you? I''m ke''s mate!"


    "Yeah, so? If ke rejects you, then why can''t I pursue you? I could be your mate, too!" said Leo


    boldly.


    "You must be out of your mind!" I turned and left.


    Leo stood in front of me. "Catherine, you can only marry me or ke. I won''t let you have any other


    choice. Do you hear me?"


    "You are out of your mind!" I covered my ears.


    Leo growled, "Then marry ke. Forget about others'' opinions. If you love him so much, why don''t you


    be with him? Why did you let others end it for you?"


    I was stunned for a second, and then I said, "You are right. But tell me, would you dare say that to


    Emerson and Patricia? It''s not that ke and I don''t want to be together, but they won''t let us be


    together."


    Leo looked sad.


    I said nothing more, then, I opened the door and left.


    I ran back to the car. Leo''s words were too much for me.


    I felt bad and it was tearing me apart. I figured I should stay away from Leo from now on.


    I walked into the entrance of the Chavez Group, then I heard my colleagues chatting.


    Yesterday, the Chavez family announced the cancetion of my wedding to ke, and almost


    everyone felt that I was the one to me.


    I lowered my head and entered the elevator, not wanting to hear more of it.


    I entered the office, and Melinda walked over and asked me, "Cathy, are you OK? Did ke say


    anything else?"


    I sighed, "No. Melinda, I hope your career won''t be affected by me."


    Melinda shrugged. "I''m doing OK so far. ke is a good boss."


    I agreed, "He is indeed a good boss. He is a good Lycan King as well. It''s just that he and I are no


    longer possible."


    "Cathy, be patient. ke wille around. What happened among the elders has nothing to do with


    you," Melindaforted me.


    "I hope so!"


    In fact, I didn''t know what would happen.


    I knew ke still loved me, which made me feel at ease.


    My situation in thepany was getting upsetting. Wherever I showed up, everyone would look at me,


    as if I did something wrong.


    I knew. It was because ke and I broke up.


    I hid in the office and didn''t want to go out. Fortunately, Melinda was there for me.


    In the afternoon, I got off work early. When I reached the lobby, someone stopped me.


    It was Gina.


    She was wearing sunsses and was in high heels, dressing fashionably.


    Gina took off her sunsses and sneered, "You got dumped so soon. Catherine, poor you."


    I ignored her and headed to the parking lot.


    Gina caught up. "Catherine, ke abandoned you. Do you know that?"


    I looked at her. "Gina, I''m not in a good mood. Don''t mess with me!"


    "What is it? Do you still think of yourself as the future Lycan Luna?" Gina stopped me again.


    I stopped and said, "I may be abandoned by ke, but I''m still the mother of his kids."


    Then I ignored Gina and walked towards my car.


    Instead of going back to thekeside vi, I went to my new home.


    Harley paid for the furniture, and I was embarrassed, so, I paid more rent to him.


    I arrived at my new home and made a cup of coffee. The aroma made me feel better.


    From the balcony of my new home, I could see the headquarters of the Chavez Group.


    "You are missing him," Eva said to me.


    I would always love ke.


    The thought of this broke my heart.


    I told myself that I would move here tomorrow.


    The sky darkened.


    I received a call from Hedwig, and she begged me over the phone, "Mommy,e home. It''s getting


    dark, and daddy is sick. He is sick because he misses you so much. Come back quickly."


    Kids were simple. Hedwig''s words made me feel bad.


    "Hedwig, take care of daddy. I will be back soon." I began to miss ke.


    "OK, mommy. Come back quickly. I will go and check on daddy." Hedwig quickly hung up the phone.


    ke''s POV


    I was in the study, handling today''s business. I felt weak being away from Catherine.


    "Daddy, mommy says she''ll be back to take care of you!" Hedwig came running in.


    When I saw Hedwig smiling, I couldn''t help but extend my hands. "Hedwig,e here. Let me hug


    you!"


    Hedwig ran over happily. I hugged her and sat her on myp.


    I lowered my head and kissed Hedwig''s face.


    Hedwig reached out her hands and held my face. She kissed me back.


    "Where''s Noah?" Something had been bothering Noahtely, and I was worried about him.


    "He is in the toy room. He seldom ys with me now." Hedwig looked disappointed.


    I stroked her long hair and said gently, "I will y with you."


    "But daddy, you''re so busy every day. Patricia told me not to bother you."


    "When I''m done with work, I will have time for you."


    "Alright. Is mommy really going to move out?" asked Hedwig sadly.


    "Hedwig, what if I say yes? Do you want to live with me or your mommy?" I couldn''t help but ask.


    "I want to live with both of you!" Hedwig immediately said.


    "OK. Remember to say the same thing to your mommy! Then, we may still have a chance to be with


    her," I told Hedwig.


    Hedwig''s eyes widened and said, "Daddy, will mommy let you move in with her?"


    "Hedwig, I''m counting on you." I believed Hedwig would help me.


    "Well, I will help you to see mommy!" Hedwig grinned.


    After Hedwig left, Iy weakly in bed.


    I felt like a liar. I pushed Catherine away, but I couldn''t help wanting to be closer to her.


    "She is our mate," my wolf said firmly.


    We both loved her and wanted to be with her.
