Catherine’s POV
“You asked for it.” I didn’t pity her. I took the necklace and turned to leave.
When I got back to the car, I opened my palm and looked at the necklace that was broken in half. My heart ached.
Gina was so out of line.
If I hadn’t seen her cry so desperately, I would have slapped her.
What should I do?
My heart ached, and I was at a loss, so, I decided to find a place to have my necklace repaired.
In fact, there were a lot of jewelry stores on Sayreville’s main street, and they offered jewelry restoration services.
But the necklace was an important relic my mother left me, and I was worried that they wouldn’t take it seriously enough.
I pondered for a moment and went to Mabel’s Aurora Pack to find an old craftsman there.
The old craftsman was a werewolf in his fifties.
“Is there something broken?” the old craftsman asked me with a smile.
I nodded and took out two pieces of broken obsidian wrapped in a piece of tissue with great care. “Can it be repaired?”
The old craftsman took the two pieces of obsidian and looked at them carefully under the light. He suddenly smiled. “I’ve seen this before… Maybe years ago. I don’t know if it’s the same piece.”
“You have seen a similar one before?” I was surprised at first, and then I asked anxiously, “Do you still remember the person who brought it to you?”
“Yes. It was a werewolf a lot older than me. My repair skills are the best in Sayreville, so a lot of werewolves from other packs will come to me to repair their jewelry. The piece you have here is different from his, but I think the two necklaces are a pair. Judging from the workmanship, they must be a hundred years old or so,” the old craftsman muttered as he examined the obsidian.
“A very old werewolf? Do you remember what he looked like? Is his obsidian necklace really the same as mine?”
“They have the same shape, and they both have a moon symbol on them. I think they are a pair. I still remember the workmanship. The carved patterns are very exquisite. I’m sure a skilled craftsman made them.” Then he looked at me. He said, “I can fix it for you, but it won’t be as perfect as it was before.”
I quickly handed him the money. “Thank you! I’ll be glad as long as it can be fixed.”
“Come back in two days!”
His words made me hopeful again.
If the two necklaces were a pair, maybe I could do some digging starting from the necklace I had. Maybe I could find my family.
But what good would it do?
Alpha Wyatt and my mother bought me. When I thought of this, my heart was filled with sorrow again.
My desire to find my family became less strong.
After I sent the necklace to be repaired, I returned to the car and heard my phone ring.
I looked at the caller, and my heart skipped a beat.
“Hello.” I said, pretending to be indifferent.
“You mixed my number with someone else’s? You’re really something,” Blake said in a lazy and magnetic voice, teasing me.
I said flatly, “Everyone gets confused sometimes.”
“I look forward to seeing you get confused with my own eyes.” Blake’s tone suddenly became a little hoarse.
My heart beat faster, and I said a little angrily and shyly, “I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I have always been sober in front of you.”
“Fine. I know my existence can always keep you vigilant. It can refresh your mind. We’ll take the kids to Disneyland this Saturday. I hope you can have a good time,” Blake said gently.
“You’re weird. Are you so gentle to every woman?” I could feel concern in his words, and I asked.
“Of course not,” Blake answered seriously. “I only care about four women.”
His words made me stiff. Sure enough, the number was more than I expected.
“One is my grandmother, and the other is my mother. You are also included. And Hedwig as well,” said Blake. I was stunned.
“Weren’t you very distant before? How come you are so cheesy now?” I felt a little angry that he had made me look like a fool.
“Do you want to go out for dinner tonight? I’ll make some arrangements. Take the kids as well!” Blake suddenly suggested.
My mind was a mess, and I couldn’t make a wise decision. I could only vaguely say, “Up to you. You don’t need to ask for my opinion.”
“OK! Then it’s settled.” After saying that, Blake smiled and hung up the phone.
I gawked at the phone screen. My mind was in a mess again. I tossed the phone away. I felt uncomfortable every time I talked to Blake. Did that count as some kind of disease?
I laughed self-mockingly and drove away.
Since I sent the necklace to be repaired today, I didn’t go back to work. I went straight back home.
As soon as I stopped the car, I heard a servant shouting, “Ms. Wyatt, you’re back so early today!”
As soon as I entered the parlor, I saw Howard and the cute kid in his arms.
“What’s going on?” I put my purse on the sofa and asked with a smile, feeling surprised.
When Howard saw me, it was as if he had seen his savior. He immediately asked me for help, “Catherine, you came back just in time. Quick! I need your help. My daughter Ash seems to have peed. Can you help me deal with it? I have no idea what to do…”
Howard talked to me so naturally, as if we were so close. I was stunned and blinked. “Did you just say she was your daughter? Since when have you had a daughter?”
“It’s a long story. I’ll tell you later. Help me deal with the situation first. Thanks!” A hint of bitterness flashed across his face.
I was very skilled at dealing with such a situation. Seeing that Howard was about to freak out, I was more than willing to help him.
Surprisingly, the little girl, Ash Twitty, was very willing to let me hold her. Perhaps it was because I had the radiance of a mother. In my arms, Ash became quiet. She was no longer noisy.
When I carried her into the bathroom, Hedwig followed us in.
Hedwig stood aside and looked at Ash. Then she asked seriously, “Mommy, she is so small. She can’t even speak.”
I chuckled. “That’s right. You used to be this small as well. Do you still remember?”
“I’m not as small as her. See? I’m much taller than her!” As Hedwig spoke, she deliberately walked over and compared her height with Ash. Hedwig felt so superior.
