“Even if you’re fine now, you still have to take the medicine later. Come here, I’ll braid your hair.”Catherine picked Suzie up and began to braid her hair.After dressing her up, she walked out with Suzie in her arms.Shaun was not at home, and she could not help but complain. The child was sick but he went out early in the morning.Just as she wanted to open the fridge and make breakfast for Suzie, Shaun came back dressed in a white T-shirt, sweatpants, and running shoes. His handsome face was slightly flushed from exercise, and his tousled hair stuck on his forehead due to the sweat. His white T-shirt was very thin and clearly showed off his sexy, hard abs.Catherine sighed in her heart. Any photo of him used to advertise a sports brand would be sure to take the world by storm.However, the thought that he was still in the mood to go running was inexplicably infuriating.“I went on a run and got breakfast too,” Shaun put the breakfast on the table and explained.“The child
While Shaun was having a headache, Hadley brought him the news. “Sarah got Stevens, the top lawyer from Country Y, to represent her in the lawsuit.”“Stevens?” Shaun was surprised. Stevens’ status in the legal industry was similar to his. People like them were not impressed by money. He did not expect Sarah to be able to invite Stevens to take her case.It seemed like he would have to reevaluate Sarah once again.“Eldest Young Master Hill, not only is Stevens powerful, but he’s also despicable and vicious. I’m afraid it won’t be easy for us to win this time.” Hadley also hesitated. “The person who helped her find him wouldn’t be Young Master Snow, right?”“The Snow family has already cut ties with Rodney. Stevens definitely wouldn’t have agreed because of that.”Shaun raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Don’t worry, this is Australia, not Country Y. The judges here are a little more biased toward me.”“But…”“I’ll ask Chester.”...Rodney learned that Sarah had hired Stevens to h
The people of Snowden clearly used to follow Rodney’s orders.However, they were protecting Freya now.Freya and his identities seemed to have been switched.“Director Lynch, you’re coming back to work?” Rodney was not in a good mood, and even his tone was dull.Freya glanced at him and curled her red lips. “Nope.”She directly handed in her resignation letter.Rodney’s face suddenly turned cloudy. “You want to resign?”“Yes.” Freya nodded in a good mood.Rodney got angry. “When I gave you ten percent of Osher’s shares, we signed a contract in black and white. You can’t just say you want to resign.”“Then I’ll return the shares to you,” Freya said nonchalantly.Rodney did not expect her to be so frank and froze for a few moments before sneering. “What? Do you think your status is different because my uncle has acknowledged you as his goddaughter? You don’t even care about Osher’s shares anymore.”He admitted that his heart was sour when he said those words.However, the bod
Hah! Did Freya think starting a business was that easy?However, if she had the Snow family’s support, coupled with Freya’s skills, she might really become Osher’s rival in the future.Rodney’s scalp tingled.What kind of grudge did Freya have with him in their past lives?Not only did she steal his family, but she was also starting a company to steal his business too....“You want to start your own cosmetic company?”Catherine froze when she received Freya’s call.“Yeah.”Freya grinned and said, “When I chatted with Godmother yesterday, she said that my products are very good and it’s a shame I’m working for someone else. I can start my own company. The Snow family will help me work out some of the relevant documents.”By ‘Godmother’, she meant Nathan Snow’s wife.Catherine could not help but admire the wife of the future president. She could really see the bigger picture.“Actually, your godmother has a point. I support you.” Catherine smiled. “If you don’t have enough m
It just so happened that Wesley was also wearing a black suit tonight.He did look good, but compared to Shaun, he did not look as refined.Catherine could not help but sigh in her heart.Suits still looked the best on Shaun.While she was distracted, Shaun seemed to sense something and turned to face her.She quickly looked away and glanced at Wesley with a little guilt.She thought that Wesley would be unhappy, but unexpectedly, Wesley was not looking at her at all. His eyes were focused on the other side where a group of powerful people was gathered.Catherine was slightly stunned. Then, Wesley turned and said to her, “Cathy, Freya is there. Let’s go and say hello.”“Okay.” Catherine had the same idea.Freya was undoubtedly the most eye-catching person tonight. She wore a beautiful gown, her body slender and graceful but also dignified and elegant. She looked just like a real princess.The wives of those influential bigwigs surrounded her with smiling faces.However, when
The guests immediately looked over.They recognized the woman as Chelsea Holt, the youngest daughter of the Holt family. They had already heard that the eldest daughter of the Holt family, Joanne Holt, had become Mason Campos’ woman.The smart ones immediately figured out what was going on when they saw this scene. Someone attentively came forward and asked, “Young Lady Holt, what’s wrong?”Chelsea pointed at Shaun with red eyes and complained, “I saw him standing here alone so I came to greet him, but after a few words, he started to flirt with me. I wanted to leave, but he grabbed my hand and pulled me. He even spilled his wine on my dress. Oh, how can I face other people like this?”She clutched her chest and sobbed.“You’re shameless!” A young man immediately pointed at Shaun and yelled, “Shaun Hill, who do you think Ms. Holt is? Do you think you can lay a hand on her? Why don’t you take a mirror to look at your current self?“Why did the Snow family invite such a rogue like
Freya looked at Catherine with a vague smile. “Can’t bear to see him like that?”“Don’t be ridiculous.” Catherine rolled her eyes. “I’m a kind-hearted person whose heart overflows with justice. I can’t stand to see any acts of bullying.”“But my heart isn’t overflowing with justice. I haven’t forgotten how Shaun allowed Thomas to hurt me,” Freya deliberately said.Catherine, “...”“Forget it, I’m just kidding.” Freya suddenly smiled. “I’m the same as you. I don’t like to see others bullying the weak.”Catherine was speechless. That woman actually teased her.“Wait here.”Freya flicked her hair and put on a princess-like temperament before walking over just in time to see Shaun grab the wrist of a young man who was pushing him.“Ouch, it hurts!” The young man bent over and screamed, “Help, Shaun is bullying me!”“You’re also a man, but you only know how to shout for help. If I were you, I’d be too embarrassed to shout.” Shaun gripped the man’s wrist tightly, giving off a chilly
Freya appeared at that moment. She grabbed Jason’s arm and smiled like a pampered child. “If you tell him to leave like that, he’ll be unconvinced. No matter what, tonight’s party is still for me. I think for the sake of fairness, let’s check the surveillance footage. It’ll be clear at a glance who’s in the right and wrong.”At those words, everyone’s faces immediately changed.Shaun looked at Freya in shock. He thought that Freya hated him very much.“Ms. Lynch, what do you mean? You don’t believe me?” Chelsea got a fright and hurriedly spoke up like she was being wronged.“Yeah, it’s clear that he started it. My hand still hurts even now,” Young Master Riley piped up immediately.“When did I say that I didn’t believe you?”Freya pretended to be aggrieved and pouted. “It’s because Shaun isn’t convinced, and I don’t want to give him the opportunity to argue again. You guys don’t care, but if news of this spreads, people outside will say that I bully the weak.”Jason’s expression
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
