Chapter 279
Catherine's POV
"And the second..." Leo said.
"Next will be my target!" Leo smiled. He did not seem to care what the next woman looked like.
"Whatever. As long as you find it funny!" I said angrily.
I shouldn't have let Leo drive to such a remote place to eat with him.
We didn't do anything that we shouldn't have. We were just sitting and eating like friends. However, I still felt guilty. I felt like I had betrayed Blake.
"Leo, I won't go out with you alone from now on. I hope you can understand what I mean." I knew Leo's feelings for me, and I knew Leo had no bad intentions, but I knew more that I couldn't let him go on like this.
Leo lowered his head. I could not see his face.
"Alright. I won't ask you out alone anymore. I know it's not appropriate," Leo whispered.
"Let's go back. I booked a flight home tonight. What about you?" I changed the subject.
"You can go back first. I still want to hang out for a few more days." Leo shook his head. I knew he needed time.
"OK then. I will go back by myself. You don't have to send me off." I decided to leave on my
own.
"Let me take you. It's not safe for you to go back to the city by yourself," Leo said.
I thought about it and did not turn him down again.
Soon, we returned to the hotel. Leo stopped the car. I opened the door and got out of the car. Leo stared forward and did not look at me again.
"Drive safe. I'm leaving," after I finished speaking, I closed the car door.

I watched him drive away and was a little worried.
I returned to the room, took a shower, poured a glass of wine, lay on the sofa, and looked at Noah and Hedwig's photos. I didn't know that Leo would meet his mate today.
I booked a flight home tonight. I packed my luggage. I should have gone back a few days later, but when I thought of Blake, Noah, and Hedwig, I couldn't persuade myself to continue to stay here.
"Go back. You should be with Blake," Eva said.
I checked out and rushed to the airport.
I came back without asking anyone to pick me up. I took a taxi and went to Melinda's place.
Melinda was surprised to see me. She hugged me and said, "Cathy, did you get to see Halsey? What was he like? Was he surprised to see you?"
"I saw him. Both of us were surprised. He was nicer than I thought, and he was good to me," I told Melinda about my feelings.
"Weren't you blaming him for abandoning you? I thought you were going to settle accounts with him." Melinda shrugged.
"I thought I hated him at first, but then he told me about what happened back then. When I knew the reason why he abandoned me, I couldn't hate him anymore," I said.
"Cathy, you must be struggling and in pain. I hope I can share your pain, but you'll have to face it yourself." Melinda looked at me intently, and I felt it.
"Melinda, I'm fine. I can do it," I said. When I thought about Blake's commitment and his strong love for me, I felt that it wouldn't be a big deal even though I couldn't be the Lycan Luna. What I wanted was just Blake's love. Nothing else. I was glad enough that he felt the same about me.
"Good to hear that. Are you going back to work?" asked Melinda.
"Yes. I will work harder!" I nodded. Now that I had it all figured out, I didn't have anything to worry about.
"Are you still living in the lakeside villa? I hope they haven't sent you away again," Melinda asked curiously.
"I was determined to move out, but Noah and Hedwig wouldn't let me, and I was reluctant to leave them. Patricia let me stay there in the end. It's just that Blake and I don't live together. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to see each other again." I was a little sad.
"What did I tell you? Kids are something you can never let go of. Rest assured. Patricia will come around, and she'll let you guys be together. Kids are very helpful in this case!" Melinda comforted me.
"I hope so. I hope everything will be fine!" I was in a much better mood after chatting with Melinda.
"By the way, take a look at these!" Melinda took the iPad over and clicked on a set of photos. While showing them to me, she said sarcastically, "It's a new girl singing band that's trying to replicate the success of that girl band back then. Do you know who their manager is?" "Who?" I glanced at the photos. The girls looked very unfamiliar and I didn't know them. However, they dress very sexy.
"It's Gina!" Melinda said sarcastically. "It's unbelievable, isn't it? She built a team in such a
short time and went back to showbiz!"
I frowned and said, "Where did she find so many girls of the same age?"
"I don't know, but I think she was just unwilling to be banned. That's why she returned to showbiz by becoming a manager. Watch out for her from now on. I have a feeling. She's targeting you," Melinda said, worried.
I knew that since Blake and I had broken up, many people wanted to see me doomed.
Gina was arrested because of me, which was why she could no longer be a star. She was definitely up to something. That was why she formed a girl band in such a short time.
"I'm not afraid of her. She can come at me as she pleases." Anyway, I wasn't scared of Gina.
"I'm just worried that she might play dirty. You'd better watch out. You're still in the middle of things with Blake. Emerson and Patricia's attitude is vital to you now. If Gina gets in the
way, things will be more difficult for you," Melinda said gently.
I was touched when I heard that. I said, "Thank you, Melinda. I'll keep an eye on her." "Alright. I just hope that you don't get backpedaled by Gina again! You're my mascot. I'm counting on you!" Melinda joked.
"I'm afraid that I might fail you," I said sadly.
"How so? King Blake is your mate. You'll be together eventually." Melinda seemed sure.
I felt better and said, "Melinda, it's getting late. I should get back. Noah and Hedwig are going home from school."
"Alright. Go. Say hello to Noah and Hedwig for me!" Melinda said with a smile.
After I said goodbye to Melinda, I took my luggage and rushed to the lakeside villa.
Thinking that I had not seen Noah and Hedwig for so many days, I was even more anxious to
go home.
