Chapter 303
Blake's POV
‘Snow.”
| frowned watching her back away. My cat, who normally ran towhen called, hissed and pressed herself
against Evelyn Knox's legs.
This wasn’t like Snow at all. She always jumped into her carrier when we traveled, eagerly following me
everywhere. Now she looked atlike | was a stranger - worse, someone to fear.
Snow kept her eyes onwhile staying glued to Evelyn’s side. What happened to make her act this way so
suddenly?
“Emma.”
The woman crouched down and handed Snow to her daughter.
“Take Snow to the bedroom. Mommy needs to talk with Mr. Parker.”
The little girl nodded. “Okay! I'll take Snow to the bedroom!”
What surprisedwas how easily Snow went to her. My cat, who typically avoided strangers, settled
comfortably in the child’s arms. Snow even adjusted her paws around Emma’s arm to make herself easier to
carry.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEmma struggled a bit with Snow’s weight but looked determined.
“Mommy, be careful,” she warned, glancing nervously my way. “This man doesn’t look very nice.”
‘I'll call Daddy and tell him to cback soon!”
She gaveone last nervous look before closing the door.
“Mommy, be careful!” she called out.
Now only Evelyn and | remained. She walked to the coffee table and poured tea without looking at me. “Since
you found your way here, Mr. Parker, it seems you already know that Dr. Clarke has given the cat to me.”
Her voice was flat, matter-of-fact.
“From today on, Snow is my cat and has nothing to do with you anymore.”
| took a deep breath. “Mrs. Knox. You must have realized how much you resemble my ex-wife when you first
arrived on Long Island.”
“Dr. Clarke is elderly. When he saw your face, he mistakenly believed you were my ex-wife. That's why he gave
Snow to you, thinking he was returning her to her rightful owner.”
“But... you should know better than anyone that you're not Audrey Sinclair, and you're not Snow's true owner.
You have no right to keep this cat.”
She looked atwith a hint of mockery in her eyes. “I have no right? And you think you do, Mr. Parker?”

Chapter 303
‘I saw Snow's reaction to you quite clearly just now.”
She set her cup down. “If you truly took good care of this cat, would she prefer to go withand Emma,
strangers to her, rather
than with you?”
| didn’t expect that line of questioning.
“That hiss she directed at you - you should know that’s the sound cats make when they feel threatened.”
Her voice cooled further. “You make her feel danger and fear. How can someone like you claim to be her owner?*
| stepped closer, my tone hardening. “Mrs. Knox, | believe with your and your daughter's status, if you wanted a
cat, you could buy any breed, no matter how expensive or cute.”
“Why are you so insistent on taking this particular two-year-old ragdoll cat from me? Her coat isn’t even that
nice, and her temperament is worse than most ragdolls. And after our interactions today, I'm certain you don’t
likevery much. So why would you fight so hard to take my ex-wife's cat from someone you dislike?”
She met my gaze. “I choose pets based on instinct. The moment | saw Snow, | fell in love with her. So when Dr.
Clarke offered to give her to me, | didn’t hesitate. Is that wrong?”
Her answer sounded rehearsed. My suspicions grew stronger.
I moved toward her.
‘Indeed, you fell in love with Snow the moment you saw her. After all, you're the one who named her.”
| gripped her chin, forcing her to look at me.
“Audrey Sinclair, is it tiring to pretend you're someone else in front of me?”
