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
“Then, were we… intimate?” Shaun asked in a low voice. In his memory, he hated when Catherine approached and touched him three years ago. She even took advantage of him being drunk to get pregnant.Aunty Linda blushed. “Oh, of course you were. Every time Ms. Jones kissed you, you were quite happy. There was once when you were injured, you lied to her and told her that it would stop hurting if she kissed you, and Ms. Jones actually believed you. Even my face turned red when I saw it.”“Thank you…” After hearing that, Shaun gratefully let Aunty Linda go back.He had no recollection of what Aunty Linda told him, but he knew that like Chase’s words, it was all most likely true.However, he had forgotten it. He had forgotten that three years ago, he once loved a woman named Catherine Jones.All his mind remembered were her faults.It was no wonder that after Catherine came back three years later, she could easily cook a meal he loved. She knew his appetite like the back of her hand.
“It’s just a failure. With your capability, whether it’s in law or finance, it won't be a problem for you to come back to Melbourne and become a big shot.”“That’s not it.” Shaun popped a bottle of beer and chugged it, his eyes red again.Chase was startled. “What’s up with you?”He had known Shaun for more than ten years, but this was his first time seeing Shaun cry. It was as if he saw a ghost.“You don’t understand. I lost the most important thing in my life.” Shaun looked up and said bitterly, “Chase, can you tell me about my past with Catherine? I want to know how we met, got closer, and fell in love with each other.”“Sure. Three years ago, you just came to Melbourne…” Although Chase was confused as to why he suddenly wanted to hear about Catherine, he still talked about it.He talked until Shaun fell asleep, drunk.He could not help but call Rodney. “Are you guys even brothers? You guys should accompany Shaun more since such a big thing happened to him. Look, now he’s her
“Don’t apologize. I’m not mad at you. I just can’t understand people like Thomas.” Rodney gritted his teeth. “Sarah, can you contact him? Yes, I want to teach him a lesson. Will you help me?”“Don’t say that. He should be taught a lesson. I’ll call him and try to find out, but I don’t know if he’ll answer.”Sarah found Thomas’s number and dialed it, but no one answered. She gritted her teeth and said, “He’s not even picking up my calls. Oh, right. How… is Shaun? After all, we’ve known each other for more than ten years. It’s… impossible not to worry about him.”“Oh, he went to Melbourne.” Rodney sighed. “I don’t know why he’s suddenly in Melbourne. He even went drinking with Chase too.”Melbourne...The word made Sarah’s heart skip.She remembered that Shaun and Catherine met in Melbourne. Did he suspect something?“Sarah…” Rodney’s voice once again pulled her out from her thoughts. “I saw a new sports car outside. Did you change it?”“Yes…” Afraid he would misunderstand that s
“I see…”Rodney froze. He thought that Sarah would agree without hesitation.This was not quite what he had expected.Sarah was now like a friend who found various excuses not to lend money to a good friend who was in a critical moment.“Forget it, then. It’s very late, so I’ll leave now. You should rest up. I won’t bother you anymore.” Rodney waved his hand, not in the mood to stay any longer.“Rodney, I’m sorry I can’t help you at all.” Sarah looked like she was on the verge of tears with guilt.“It’s fine. Chester and I can help if Shaun needs money. I was just asking.”Rodney reluctantly comforted her before walking out of the villa.As he drove out, he looked back at the villa. Although it was by the seaside, the beach was exquisite, the water was blue, and it was closest to the city. It was the most expensive waterfront land in Canberra. Shaun bought it with 300 million back then, and now, this villa was worth at least 800 million.When Shaun broke up with her, he gave t
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
