“In the end, it’s all because Shaun is in a relationship with Miss Mead.”“But Catherine has married Wesley, hasn’t she?”“You won’t understand. A lot of women have a roving eye. What’s more, she might be dissatisfied that Shaun managed to play up to the Mead family.”“She looks pretty, but I didn’t expect her to be so disgusting.”“...”When those disparaging comments reached Shaun’s ears, his bright eyes revealed a sense of grimness. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he heard Catherine snort.“Are you sure I pushed you?” Catherine fixed her sharp eyes on that servant. “I came here with you just because you told me that Miss Lynch called me over. When we walked by the pool, you claimed that your shoelaces were loose, so I stopped to wait for you. But you tried to push me and ended up falling into the pool yourself.”“You’re bullsh*tting.” The servant, who had come up with a lie on the spot, panicked upon hearing Catherine’s clear explanation. “I didn’t say that Miss Lync
After the cake was cut, Hannah gave the first slice of cake to Catherine. “Madam Lyons, our family servant was quite thoughtless just now. Please don’t be offended.”She deliberately said ‘Madam Lyons’ loudly and used polite words, which made Catherine sound very old.Everyone could sense it.However, Catherine accepted the cake while smiling without any care. “I never took it to heart in the first place. Thank you, Miss Mead. You and your friend are so polite. Your friend even called me ‘Aunty’ just now.”Camilla, who was brought up all of a sudden, was stunned.A trace of glee flashed across Shaun’s eyes. He raised his eyebrows and continued where Catherine left off. “You’re my ex-wife and we’re of the same seniority. Won’t Miss Mead and Miss Cross have to call me ‘Uncle’ then?”Catherine looked at Shaun approvingly. He was doing a decent job of cooperating with her.Shaun saw Catherine’s dark eyes sweeping across him charmingly, which was rare. He was in such a good mood that
Shaun finally found the opportunity to escape while Hannah was being held back by other people. However, after a while, he felt his body growing very hot. Something was not right. He had not eaten any contaminated food. He quickly understood that the glass of wine must have been spiked.It must have been Hannah who did it. She was so shameless despite her young age. Shaun quickly strode toward the entrance of the villa. However, before he could go near the door, he saw two of Hannah’s friends guarding the door. If he went over at that time, he would surely be blocked.Damn it!As his body got hotter and hotter, someone tapped him on the back all of a sudden.Shaun looked back. Ryan was standing behind him and looking at him in astonishment. “Brother Shaun, what’s wrong with you? Your face is very red.”“My wine was spiked.” Shaun smiled bitterly.Ryan was dumbfounded. “It can’t possibly be… Hannah who did it, right?”“Mm, it was her.” Shaun’s breathing grew heavy. He was f
“If I intervene in this matter, it’ll be very awkward for the Mead and Snow families if this gets out of hand. Brother Shaun will be put in an awkward spot too.”Ryan was in a dilemma. He explained, “You don’t understand. There are so many people here tonight. Since Hannah dares to do this, she must’ve gotten her parents’ permission. She’s their only daughter. The Mead family dotes on her a lot. My dad and the Mead family are on the same boat now. There can’t be conflicts between us.”Catherine’s scalp tingled. She was still slightly angry. “Who let him attend the party in the first place? It’s none of my f*cking business. Just let Hannah give him relief. Maybe he can even play up to the Mead family.”In the end, Shaun was the one who got into this trouble himself. Why must she be the one to handle it?The bathroom door abruptly opened. Shaun had already taken off his outerwear. He just had a shirt on him, and the buttons were all open, exposing a large area of his muscular chest
“I’m looking for someone.”Hannah said without concealing anything, “Have you seen Shaun?”Freya said calmly, “Hasn’t Shaun been with you all along? You kept holding onto him so tightly. How could we have seen him?”Hannah pouted. “He was gone in a blink of an eye.”Ryan flashed a vague smile. “Looks like Shaun doesn’t like you that much. It’s no use forcing something if it isn’t meant to be. There are so many guys outside who like you. Why must you insist on a man who’s a lot older than you?”“He’s not a lot older than me. Isn’t it just a difference of ten years?” Hannah hmphed. “Anyway, I must have him.”“Fine, I’m too lazy to care about you. Anyway, I didn’t see him.”Ryan waved his hand and asked her to leave.Hannah was in a hurry to look for Shaun and did not have much time to chat with Ryan. She turned around and went elsewhere to look for Shaun.When the door closed again, Freya let out a huge breath of relief.Luckily, Hannah did not suspect anything. If she had chec
Catherine took pleasure in his misfortune. She mocked, “I never thought that there would be a day when Young Master Hill would be forced by a woman. It looks like you’re quite miserable these days. Why don’t... you just promise yourself to her? Hannah has a reputable status. When her dad becomes the deputy—”Before she could finish her sentence, Shaun blocked her mouth again. Her butt was spanked hard by him too. Catherine’s face flushed red from embarrassment. Her gaze looked as if she wanted to gobble him up. “Shaun, how dare you hit me?”“Cathy, some words can’t be said even as a joke. The one I love is only you. I don’t even care if Hannah makes me lose all my wealth.”Shaun buried his head beside her ear. He confessed to her in a low, hoarse voice, “We’ve experienced too many things between us. I understand now that power and money are just fleeting things. You’re the only one who’s worth treasuring.”Catherine’s whole body tingled from his hoarse voice and hot breath. She c
“You should let me go out instead,” Freya said in a low voice, “I feel very awkward staying in here.”“You’re pregnant. My mom will understand if you stay up here. She can cover up for you as well. If I keep staying upstairs, other people will come in to visit me.” Ryan gave her an encouraging gaze. “Good luck. You’ve experienced it before. I’m different. I’m still an innocent boy.”“...”Freya cleared her throat heavily.Ryan smiled. He turned around and went out.Freya was on the verge of crying. She continued her battle inside the room....Downstairs, Hannah had nearly searched the whole building but she could not spot Shaun at all.She was infuriated.The drug Shaun took must have taken effect by now. Where could he have run off to in that state?If he really could not control it and found another woman to relieve himself, Hannah would spit out a mouthful of blood.“By the way, have you all seen Catherine?” she suddenly said.“Ah, now that you mention it, I think I hav
The expression on Catherine’s pretty face gradually became cold. “Miss Mead, I understand that you like Shaun. Even so, he’s indifferent toward you. You can’t forcibly push the blame on me. Please mind your manners.”“What right does a shameless woman like you have to educate me?” Hannah scolded.“We don’t have the right, but I can look for your mom or your dad,” Freya said furiously, “We’ll let them educate their daughter properly.”Hannah snorted. “Freya Lynch, do you insist on going against me? Let me remind you of this. Frankly speaking, you’re just Uncle Nathan’s goddaughter. You’re not even his biological daughter. Why are you showing off? Everyone knows that the Snow family took you in as their goddaughter simply out of pity because no one wanted to take responsibility after Rodney had sex with you.”Freya’s face went pale.“Shut your mouth!” Senator Mead’s roar came from behind all of a sudden.Hannah was startled. She turned back and saw her parents, Heidi, and Ryan stan
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
