I hated Gina’s phony face. I felt that she was always wearing a mask. Her expressions changed constantly, and her true colors remained unknown to
- me.

was
I was very stubborn, and the dispute I had with Gina five years ago also because of my temper. Otherwise, I would not have met Blake in Shadow Forest.
It was useless for her to hunker down to ask for my help. She probably knew this as well, so she put away her pitiful appearance.
“Do you really want to be against me? Think about it. You and I are from two worlds now. Making me your enemy will do no good to you.” Since I wasn’t moved by her acting, she began to play tough.
That was who Gina really was. She enjoyed the feeling of being high above others.
“New Jersey is so big. Does staying in New Jersey make me your enemy?” I no longer wanted to talk to this unreasonable woman.
Gina’s face became even more sullen. Her eyes were filled with resentment. “I am warning you. Don’t even think about taking Blake away from me. You know how important he is to me.”
“If he is meant to be your mate, I can’t snatch him even if I want to. But if he isn’t, then you shouldn’t blame anyone else,” I said sarcastically.

Gina looked like she had been pricked by a needle, and she became even more furious. “Even if Blake’s mate is someone else, that person will never be you.”
I thought Gina was insane. Did she really think all the women in the world wanted Blake’s attention?
I ignored her and strode out.
Harley looked at me as I walked out and asked with concern, “Cathy, you two quarreled again?”
“I’m taking off now. Harley.” I was in a bad mood and went straight to the elevator.
Inside, Gina suddenly swept the things on the table to the ground. I looked back and saw that the expression on her face was constantly switching between fear and anger. I shook my head and continued walking forward.
After I was done with this, I went straight back to Blake’s lakeside villa, which was the place where I was staying with the kids.
When I returned to the villa and walked into the parlor, I saw a drawing board standing in the middle of the parlor, and Blake was holding Hedwig in one hand and drawing something on paper with the other hand.
I thought that Blake wouldn’t be able to handle the two kids at first, but…
“Mommy is back!” Hedwig saw me first. She immediately jumped down from Blake’s leg excitedly and ran over. She grabbed one of my fingers and pulled me forward. “Mommy, come over here. Daddy is drawing for
us.”
I didn’t want to go over at all, but I couldn’t bear to see Hedwig’s big eyes, so I had to go over and pretend to appreciate it.
“What is it? A Bat?” I looked at Blake’s work and smiled.
Blake’s eyes darkened in an instant, and he said with extreme unhappiness, “It is an angel.”
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Although Blake was under the nurturing of the royal family, his drawing was obviously lame.
“Seriously? You don’t say,” I teased.
Blake’s face sank.
He walked away from the drawing board, threw away the pencil in his hand, crossed his arms, and snorted, “Then why don’t you draw it? I want to admire your painting.”
I didn’t want to, but when I saw his contemptuous face, I immediately sat beside him and took a brush.
I pondered for a moment. Then the image of the Moon Goddess that had appeared in my dreams emerged in my mind.
She wore a white gauze dress, and her body was surrounded by silvery white moonlight. She soothed my pain in my dreams, giving me hope.
I immediately waved the pencil in my hand and began to draw on the drawing board.
In fact, Blake didn’t have any professional training in painting. For someone like him, it was already a good drawing. When I was in Pennsylvania, I went to a college together with humans, and I studied painting and design.
So, for me, painting was easy peasy. With just a few strokes, I sketched out the outline of the Moon Goddess in my dream. Blake saw it, and his face went even gloomier
As time passed, the Moon Goddess on my drawing board had become more and more lively.
“Mommy is so great. The painting is so beautiful.” Noah immediately clapped his hands.
Hedwig also supported her face with her hands, looking at the Moon Goddess I drew with great interest.
I finished my painting and looked at Blake provocatively.
However, I found that Blake looked strange. It was as if he had discovered some secret, and he looked at the painting with confusion and
astonishment.
“What’s wrong? Are you impressed by my outstanding painting skills?” I asked.
“Who is the woman in your painting?” Blake did not answer my question.
“The Moon Goddess. Or rather, the Moon Goddess in my dream.” I was somehow confused, but I still answered him.
“In your dream?” Blake looked at me with a frown.
“Is there a problem? This is what the Moon Goddess in my dreams looks. like. I think all werewolves have dreamed of the Moon Goddess more or less.” I placed the brushh in my hand on the table.
Blake’s expression softened a little, and his tone also became gentle. He said, “Then what did the Moon Goddess say to you in your dreams?”
My heart skipped a beat. I immediately said unhappily, “It’s none of your business!”
I did dream of the Moon Goddess. She guided me back to New Jersey and said that I would meet my mate.
Yet, I did not meet my mate. Instead, I found Noah and Hedwig’s father.
In fact, I was not so obsessed with finding my mate anymore. Now that I
had Noah and Hedwig, even if I found my mate, he would find it hard to accept my children. He would probably reject me.
I couldn’t get over the fact that I lost the obsidian necklace my mother gave me. That was why my dreams hinted at me using such a way.
And that was why I brought Noah and Hedwig back to New Jersey this
time.
But I didn’t want Blake to know any of this.
Fortunately, he didn’t ask further. Instead, he said indillerently, “Fine. You win. Tell me what you want, and you shall have it!”
I was stunned and blinked. Did I make a bet with him back then when I was drawing?
“Mommy, hurry up and tell him! Daddy is offering you a chance,” Noah immediately jeered.
I coughed unnaturally. “I… I don’t want anything.”
“Are you sure?” Bloc raised his eyebrows.
I nodded.
“What a shame. I was going to offer you a job in the Chavez Group, but since you said that…”
