My Mate Has Two Wolves

Chapter 259

Catherine's POV

"What difference does it make? Now that I know who you are, it's over between us." Blake was a little afraid to look me in the eye.

I was in a mess and overwhelmed by the blows.

Blake and I were separated by the desk. Suddenly, I felt as if we were never in love. We were so cold to each other, worse than strangers.

"Don't worry. I won't bother you anymore. If you hate me and don't want to be with me, I will be out of your sight. You will never see me again. I just want my kids back. They are mine, mine alone!"

Since Blake cut me out ruthlessly, I had no choice but to accept it. I had to accept the fact that Halsey was my father.

I finally knew why I had a pair of twins. It turned out that there was a reason for this. I also had a twin brother, but he died early.

"You can't take the kids." Blake finally raised his head and looked me in the eye. He said in a low voice.

"What?" I crossed my arms in front of my chest, finding his words ridiculous. "Are you saying that you want to kick me out alone? Are you sure?"

"Cathy..."

"Don't call me that, Blake. Don't call me that ever again!" I shouted angrily. "Only those who love me can call me by that name!"

"Fine. We need to talk about the kids. I am their father, right?" Blake said.

I held back my tears with a self-mocking smile, "Are you blaming me for things my father had done before? Good for you, Blake. What did I do wrong? Why did I deserve this?"

"Sorry. I didn't expect it to turn out like this..." Blake whispered.

"Don't say sorry to me. Shouldn't I be the one to say this to you? There is no need to talk about the kids because I believe that they will make their own choice. There is no point in us fighting here!" I pretended to be cold and indifferent.

My heart was hollow. All the warmth and love I ever had was gone.

I looked at his handsome face in front of me, full of reluctance and despair. I wanted to cry, but I wanted to laugh at the same time. Fate screwed me up once again.

This time, it pushed me into a deeper abyss.

I stood there stiffened, confronting Blake. I thought I could be as indifferent as I was, and treat him as if he were nothing.

I should think of these days as a game, which I played for free. I thought of myself as a good player.

But why was I enveloped by a sharp pain? It was killing me. I couldn't even utter a word.

"I thought I could keep this a secret forever. I didn't know you had those photos on your phone. And I didn't expect Patricia to see this necklace with her own eyes before. Catherine, so be it. Let's end it here."

"OK. So be it. I agree!" I did what I could to keep myself from breaking down. I knew Blake. He would not have spoken so calmly if he had not had a way out. As a woman who loved him deeply, I could only choose to be decisive, as he was.

"I accept your rejection," I said.

Then I felt a burst of pain in my heart, and Eva cried out in pain.

I saw the pain on Blake's face.

"Reject me now," I continued.

Blake was in pain, but he did not speak.

"Can we not tell the kids about this?" I suddenly opened my mouth and begged.

Blake frowned slightly.

I mocked myself, "I didn't want to give the kids to you before, and I didn't want you to bond with them. But now, I have changed my mind. Both you and I are important to them as they grow up. I will let them make their own choice. I won't change their environment, just because we broke up."

"OK. I won't stop the kids from seeing you. If you want to see them, you can call Dowen and ask him to drop them off. You don't have a place to live, so I can give you one."

"There's no need. Now that we've broken up, let's be clear about the money." When I heard his offer, I refused right away. I did not want to lose my last bit of self-esteem.

Blake was rich, but it was his money. I wouldn't take any of it.

Blake's expression was a little stiff. He was silent for a long time. Then he nodded and said awkwardly, "Alright. I won't force you if you don't want it."

I could tell that Blake wanted me to accept his gift, but I was stubborn. I didn't want to take anything from him.

"If you really want to make it up to me, I hope I can continue working in your company," I pondered and said.

I didn't need his money or anything related to it, but I wanted my job. In such a way, I didn't just take his money but earned it. I would work harder and earn money with my own hands. So, I could take the money without feeling guilty.

Blake nodded and said, "Sure. Breaking up doesn't make us enemies. Of course, you can continue to work here. It's your career. You built it on your own. It's your right."

I glanced at Blake again and pursed my lips. "That's it then. I'll leave now. I'll call Dowen about the kids from now on."

"Wait!" Blake sounded a little anxious.

I turned around and paused with a glimmer of hope.

However, he asked coldly, "What are you going to tell the kids about you moving out?"

I said calmly, "Don't worry. I have my ways. I believe the kids are strong enough and will understand whatever I'll have to say to them."

The glimmer of hope I had for a second was gone. I walked away determined, and I left his office as quickly as I could.

I leaned against the elevator wall in a daze. My legs could barely support my body. I could no longer hold back the tears in my eyes.

But I didn't want to cry here, because I was still in his territory.

I didn't want to look vulnerable.

I walked out of the hall as fast as I could. In fact, I almost ran out. The minute I got into the car, I burst into tears. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

I held the steering wheel with both hands and cried hard. I couldn't help it at all. I felt my tears would run dry after this.

I have no idea who to hate or blame. Perhaps it was my fate. It was meant to be all alone.

Should I be punished for Halsey's sins, just because I was his daughter?

I had nothing to do with it. I never knew him at all, and he was never my father for a day.
