“Are you sure?” Shaun said coldly, “I don’t have any grudges with Thomas.”“Are you sure you don’t?” Chester reminded him.“Are you talking about my breakup with Sarah?’ Shaun was astonished, but hostility then welled up in his eyes.He did not think he owed Sarah anything. After all, the Neeson siblings played so many tricks behind the scenes after he made up with Catherine back then.Chester sighed. “I’m not sure. I can only say that Thomas has never been a good person to begin with. Someone like him will only take your help for granted, but if you don’t, he’ll hate you in return.”“He did it on purpose.” Shaun quickly understood. “It wasn’t convenient for him to do it as he was afraid of offending you guys, so he instigated Simon to come over.”“I reckon that was the case. When he drugged Freya last time, Rodney wanted to teach him a lesson, but he escaped overseas. I guess he came back thinking that Rodney’s anger has subsided, and it has been more than a month since that inc
Wesley started the car with a twisted expression. On the road, he gave Regina a call. “Go to the suite in the office. Wait for me.”He needed to find a woman. If not, he could not tolerate the anger he felt.When he was almost at the company building, his phone rang again.“President Lyons, you’ve been followed by Logan.”Logan?Wesley was shocked. “How long has he been following me?“Ever since you left Hudson Corporation. He’s very careful. If we didn’t send someone to observe him and Austin from the start, I wouldn’t have noticed it too.”“I got it.” Wesley tightened his grip on the phone. Then, he laughed coldly.Logan only obeyed Catherine, which meant that Catherine had asked Logan to investigate him.Did she suspect something?It made no sense. Wesley was very cautious all along. Where did it go wrong?It seemed like his top priority was to clear her suspicions of him. Hence, he called Regina again. “You don’t have to go to the office anymore. You no longer have to wa
“I have something else to do. Bye…”Catherine noticed the call went silent again, so she spoke.“Cathy…” Shaun suddenly called out to her. She could hear his heavy breathing. “You… saw everything?”“...”Embarrassment washed over Catherine’s face. Could she say she did not see it?“You’re talking about that?” A while later, she found her voice. “That’s none of my business anyway.”Shaun’s heart tugged.None of her business. Her words were so heartless.“You’re right.” He let out a self-deprecating smile. “I don’t have the right to be a part of your world anymore.”Catherine was surprised. If it were in the past, he would have lost his temper. Did the fact that he got hurt in that area really changed his personality? In fact, she really wanted to ask how he became like that. However, she was just about to say it when she stopped, afraid that he would think she was still concerned about him.Shaun said, “I don’t have any particular reason for calling you. I just wanted to say
“My condition is fine now, but lately… I suddenly realized that although I’ve forgotten a lot of things from the past, what I’ve forgotten most is the memories with my ex-wife.“I always thought I didn’t love her in the past. All I remember are the bad things about her. I hate her a lot, but recently, subsequent evidence has appeared, proving I might’ve cared about her in the past. However, I don’t know why I can’t remember that I cared about her and some other things relating to her.”Shaun muttered, “I used to hate going to places like KFC, but a while back, I heard from my friend that I accompanied Catherine there before. I even offended many people to get revenge for her. I also spent a huge amount of money on buying her a very expensive and meaningful diamond necklace.”Professor Lincoln’s eyebrows knitted into a frown. He was deep in thought. “You just don’t remember things regarding her?”“Not really. I can’t remember some other things too. That was why I didn’t take this se
Shaun’s handsome face paled. Someone had deleted programs from his brain?He laughed dryly. “This is impossible, Professor Lincoln. I’m not a robot…”Professor Lincoln put on a straight face. “No, as far as I know, Y country has an ancient hypnotic skill that does this. This hypnotic skill can tamper with a person’s feelings and memories. It can even go unnoticed by the person concerned.”Shaun’s brain rumbled.Hypnosis?Someone had altered his memories and feelings. “You mean the person I loved might’ve been my wife, but someone altered it afterward and made me love another woman?”“This is just my guess. I can’t confirm it,” Professor Lincoln said, “but the symptoms you mentioned are similar to being under the influence of Country Y’s ancient hypnotic skill. Not only that, the person who carried out the hypnosis on you should be a person you trust very much. If not, that person wouldn’t have succeeded. At the same time, this person must be considerably skilled in the field of p
“That’s… so evil.” Shaun’s hands, which were resting on his knees, trembled.“Yes, it is quite evil.” Professor Lincoln nodded. Then, he looked at Shaun complicatedly. “If you have someone you’re suspicious of, stay away from that person. Of course, I sincerely hope that you weren’t hypnotized. Maybe all of these are just your delusions.”“Thank you.” Shaun stood up and bowed.… After leaving Professor Lincoln’s place, Shaun did not drive. He simply walked around the university campus quietly. His long legs were trembling.Not only that, but his mind was blank.He, too, hoped that everything was just his imagination.Did Sarah hypnotize him despite knowing that he might become a retard?That was impossible. It did not make sense for Sarah to be so evil.However, what if it was true? His hair stood on end when he thought about Sarah’s gentle, kind, big-hearted character during those three years.No. He absolutely had to find out the truth. Even if he could not remember, he ha
“You want to look for her? It’s been so long. Wait a moment.”Chase made a phone call to the housekeeping agency and checked for a while before reaching Aunty Linda. “Aunty Linda is working as a nanny in this villa.”Chase gave him an address. “I’ll send you there.”“No need.” Shaun took the address. “Thank you.”“Don’t mention it. I’m not used to you behaving like this.” Chase threw the car keys at him. “You can drive my car over. We’ll have dinner together later.”“That’s rare.” Shaun glanced at him. “You rarely contact the three of us now. How many times have you gone to Canberra and not invited us out for a meal? You’re quite comfortable staying in Melbourne alone.”For some reason, he suddenly envied Chase.Although Melbourne was small, Chase was basically the overlord here. Life here was not as insufferable as Canberra. Chase smiled awkwardly. “I didn’t mean to lose contact with you guys, but you three always brought Tracy and Sarah around. I really didn’t like them. I f
It was understandable to forget one or two things, but it was really strange that Shaun had forgotten all the proof that he cared about Catherine.He could not imagine that he almost died trying to save her once.He even accompanied her to eat hot pot and got a stomach ache.He would never eat hotpot.How special was Catherine to him?He wanted to find out quickly, but he was suddenly afraid.He was afraid that Catherine and he really were deeply in love, but since his memory was tampered with, he later abandoned her and hurt their children.He was afraid that he had hurt her deeper than he thought.He sat in the car for half an hour before finally going to see Aunty Linda.After Aunty Linda answered his call, she quickly walked out holding an old booklet. When she saw Shaun, she called out tentatively, “Eldest Young Master Hill…”“Aunty Linda, you still remember me.” Shaun looked at Aunty Linda and found that he still remembered her.“Of course I do. I’ve been a nanny for s
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
