Chapter 349
Catherine's POV
In the morning, the sun was shining brightly. In this month of snow, it was a rare sunny day today.
On this day, the love story between Blake and me finally had a perfect result. We were going to be engaged. This made the whole city excited. Everyone was talking about it, looking forward to seeing the scene of our engagement banquet.
Blake prepared this engagement banquet in a hurry. In his view, everything was not perfect, but he was already doing his best to do everything.
The Moon Goddess could vouch for me. I didn't care about this. As long as he was by my side, I would be satisfied.
Emerson was very happy and very pleased. He could finally see his grandson getting married.
At my engagement party, Abigail was present, but Halsey could not come. Because he did not want to ruin my engagement party.
Today was the engagement party. It was not our wedding yet, so I did not wear a white wedding dress. I only wore a dark blue dress, but this dress was extraordinary. It was decorated with more than a thousand diamonds, and the dress was dazzling like the starry sky.
Blake was dressed in a black suit. He was tall and handsome. When we appeared together, we instantly attracted everyone's attention.
At around eleven o'clock, the guests were already seated in the main hall. Most of the guests invited this time were big shots and famous people. Blake was holding my hand, and our two kids were beside me.
Noah's facial features were very similar to Blake's. At such a young age, his expression was already calm, and he looked elegant.
Hedwig looked more like me. Her small round face was inlaid with large, crystal-like eyes. When she grew up, she would definitely be a beauty.
Emerson went up to the stage to make his speech. His face was ruddy and he looked very happy.
After Emerson made his speech, Blake held my hand and stood in front of the stage. His handsome face was full of joy. He said in a low and gentle tone, "Thank you everyone for coming to my engagement party with Catherine. I am very grateful!"
The audience burst into applause.
Patricia and Emerson were also very happy. They gently looked at us on the stage.
"Here, I want to thank my grandparents, Emerson and Patricia, and my mother Abigail!' As Blake spoke, he had already looked over to where Abigail was sitting. He continued in a low voice, "She has done a lot for me and Leo. In the past, I have always ignored her care and love for us. Today, I want to apologize to her. There were some misunderstandings between us. But from now on, I will take good care of her!"
Blake's touching speech made Abigail a little stunned. She covered her mouth and burst into tears.
Emerson and Patricia sighed, but they were gratifying. Blake's gesture was mature and he was a responsible man. I also did not expect that Blake would admit the relationship with Abigail in public. I was stunned for a moment. Then, I felt happy about their reunion. At the same time, there was a touch of shame and loss in my heart. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.
At this moment, I suddenly missed Halsey. If Halsey was sitting in front of us, it would be great. Everything would be perfect.
However, there was always pity in life. I sighed.
At this time, someone suddenly let out a cry.
"King Blake, I think you should see this news." Someone said anxiously.
Blake froze. I held his hand tightly.
"What's going on? Why does it say that Catherine is the biological daughter of Abigail's current husband?"
"Isn't it ridiculous? But, is it true?"
*There are pictures online. This is Halsey, right? He and Catherine are very close, and he even put on a bracelet on her wrist.'
Voices of surprise and suspicion rang out all around. Everyone had received a piece of shocking news.
There were also some photos of Abigail and Halsey showing up in public. It was simply shocking.
The weird atmosphere was fermenting. Everyone looked at Blake and me who had just come down from the stage. They did not expect that they would receive such explosive news at this time. It was so coincidental as if someone did it deliberately and was trying to ruin the engagement party.
Abigail had also heard the discussions around her. She froze in an instant, and her face was as pale as snow. Because of fear and uneasiness, her body also trembled slightly.
Emerson's and Patricia's faces were also not very good, especially Emerson's. He coughed fiercely.
Blake, Leo, Richard, and I rushed over immediately, concerned about Emerson's condition.
'Emerson, are you all right?" Blake asked with concern in a low voice.
Patricia rubbed Emerson's chest. Emerson stopped coughing, but his face was ashen. Since he was not in a good condition, Blake quickly said to Dowen, 'Call the doctors of the wolf pack and send Emerson back."
Dowen nodded. In a short while, two nurses and two doctors walked in. Emerson found it difficult to breathe. Although he had something to say, his chest was stuffy and his face was swollen. For a moment, he could not say anything. So the doctors brought him home.
Patricia was anxious. She said bitterly, "Who released this news at this time? The royal wolf pack will not let him go."
Blake said coldly, "Patricia, don't worry. I will find out who that person is and make him pay."
Blake stared at Richard. His hand that was holding mine trembled.
"Blake, think of a way to cover this issue first. Don't let it ruin your engagement party." After Patricia finished speaking, she left in a hurry. She had to go back and take care of Emerson.
After Blake and I watched Patricia leave, his expression turned cold instantly.
Some of the guests did not leave. They were waiting for an explanation.
Blake reached out and held my arm as if he was silently comforting me.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I saw Blake turn around again, step up the stairs, and pick up the microphone.
Just as Blake was about to say something, Abigail, who had been sitting still, suddenly walked up to the stage. Before Blake could speak, she took the microphone from his hand.
Her eyes were still gentle and glistening with tears, and she glanced at the guests present.
"Dear guests and friends, I know that you have received some news just now. It is about my marriage with Halsey.
In fact, Halsey and I have already ended our marriage. Blake and Catherine are together under the guidance of the Moon Goddess. I hope that you can bless them. Thanks very much!"
Abigail's voice was gentle and full of emotion. Every word she said was convincing.
After that, the guests started to calm down.
I looked at Abigail gratefully. Everyone began to enjoy the meal and discussed this happy marriage.
Although many things happened today, the engagement banquet ended smoothly.
What happened in the banquet hall just now left me with a lingering fear. In fact, I also knew that this was probably Richard's plan. He wanted Blake embarrassed in front of everyone.
Richard was vicious, not letting go of any opportunity to attack Blake.
After the shock at the banquet, with the help of the doctors, Emerson finally got better.
However, he was still very angry. Emerson did not expect that someone would play such a sinister trick.
In the afternoon, Blake and I returned home. In the bedroom, Blake held my hands.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Catherine, you are my fiancée now. There is something I don't want to hide from you anymore." Blake's warm palm gently rubbed against my slender arm. He said with a hint of sadness.
I knew that he was very anxious recently, and there must be something troubling him. However, he had been hiding it from me.
I asked softly, "What is it?"
'Emerson is dying." Blake looked at me and saw the tremor in my eyes. He lowered his head slightly and his eyes flashed with pain. "I'm not joking with you. It's true."
I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. The next second, I threw myself into his arms and hugged him tightly." This is why you always tolerate Richard, right? You don't want Emerson to worry."
Blake nodded and stroked my long hair gently. "Yes, if not for Emerson, I would have sent him to the werewolf prison."
"It must have been hard for you!" I felt more distressed and hugged him tighter. I wanted to share his pressure and didn't want him to bear it alone.
'I'm fine. I am gathering evidence and waiting for an opportunity. But I hope that the time will come a little later." Blake laughed bitterly.
I nodded and hoped the same. "I hope that Emerson can spend his last days in peace."
