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
Catherine said expressionlessly, “Miss Mead, you have a special status, so you can just say whatever you want. However, have you ever considered that I’m a married woman? If rumors spread and everyone simply believes them, my reputation will be utterly ruined because of you.”Senator Mead did not expect Catherine to be so unforgiving. Nevertheless, Heidi was at the side. He could only keep apologizing. “I didn’t expect that you’ve been wronged so badly. I’ll definitely have my daughter give you an apology. I’ll immediately fire that servant too. Not a word about today’s incident will go out.”“Dad…” Hannah’s tears of resentment flowed.“Hannah, apologize. If you don’t apologize today, you’re no longer my daughter,” Senator Mead warned sternly.Hannah gritted her teeth. She had no choice but to hold back her hatred and say to Catherine and Freya, “I’m sorry.”“Are you a mosquito? I can’t hear you at all.” Freya dug her ears.“I said I’m sorry.” Hannah pushed away the people around
Heidi laughed. “You’re right. Unfortunately, many people can’t figure out this logic. Don’t worry, in consideration of your dad and Freya’s relationship with the Snow family, we’ll protect you even if Senator Mead wants to target you.”“Thank you.” Catherine thanked her sincerely again.After the car left, she went back to Wesley’s car.Wesley looked at Catherine. “Cathy, what did Madam Snow say to you?”Catherine sighed calmly. “She just told me off.”Wesley’s expression finally changed slightly. “What exactly happened tonight? The party hasn’t ended yet. Why did Senator Mead ask us to leave first?”“Maybe because I’m Shaun’s ex-wife, so Hannah takes me as an imaginary enemy. She kept messing with me. We accidentally had a conflict,” Catherine said with a bitter expression, “I’m sorry that I caused you trouble.”Wesley clenched his fists in secret. She had no clue how much effort he had put in to please Senator Mead. He was almost able to join their social circle, yet it was so
Catherine could no longer tolerate him and replied: [Get lost.]Shaun: [I won’t get lost. I’ll never get lost in this lifetime. You saved me again. You’re my savior. I’m unable to repay your kindness, so I can only present myself to you.]“Shameless!”After Catherine scolded Shaun, the sound of her heartbeat was like a drumroll.At that moment, the door to the bedroom was opened all of a sudden. Catherine frowned when she saw Wesley walking in with big strides. It seemed like she had to lock the door in the future.“Cathy, I called Senator Mead just now to apologize to him. He said… to contact him less in the future.”The expression on Wesley’s elegant, handsome face was awful. There was even uncontrollable anger in his eyes. “He said you were aggressive, and you even gave him no choice but to hurt his daughter at her own birthday party. He doesn’t dare to offend you anymore.”Catherine felt apologetic. She had already expected that Senator Mead would be petty. Heidi was at the
Catherine did not want to continue fighting with Wesley anymore. After throwing Wesley off, she took the opportunity to grab her phone and quickly ran out of the villa without even changing her shoes. She got in the car, started it, and sped off.From the rear-view mirror, she saw Wesley coming out to chase after her. That scene made Catherine’s heart tremble. Maybe it was because she never expected there would come a day when she and Wesley would fight.Moreover, Wesley used to be such a gentle person. She had been married to Shaun for so long previously, but they had never fought that way before. Her face, arms, and shoulders were in a lot of pain.Wesley’s expression just now frightened her.The previous time when he wanted to force himself on her, that same expression had appeared on his face as well. It had been fleeting then, so she thought it was just an illusion.This time, she saw it clearly. Had Wesley changed because she hurt him too deeply, or had he always been
“Ah, don’t say that. After all, Shaun is your ex-husband. Yes, you’re married to Wesley, but you’ve never had sex with him before. Maybe you’re still used to only being with Shaun. Everyone has some obsession with hygiene anyway,” Freya consoled her.“Stop consoling me.” Catherine was at a loss.She might have been forced by Shaun on the island, but tonight… she had been willing.Seeing Shaun look like he was in agony, she really could not control herself. She just did it instinctively.Maybe she was really bewitched by Shaun, that pr*ck, for a lifetime.“Fine, I won’t console you anymore. But I think the rift between you and Wesley is permanent. Although I should advise you to make up with him and not get a divorce, I’m still strongly opposed to men who commit domestic violence. You can figure this out yourself.”Freya said, “I thought Wesley was a gentle person. It’s quite scary that he showed this side of himself all of a sudden. Furthermore… Ryan told me that Wesley kept tryi
Catherine admitted that Shaun had done a lot of things that hurt her.However, they should not be used to force a child to make a choice.Children were the most innocent. They did not have the power to choose their parents. It was the nature of every child to yearn for their fathers. Catherine did not let her children acknowledge Shaun as their father at the start because she had worried that Shaun was still under Sarah’s hypnosis and would do whatever it took to snatch the children from her. Secondly, had worried that Sarah would become the children’s stepmother and hurt them.However, all those would not happen anymore. Therefore, she was no longer opposed to the idea. Nobody understood Lucas better than Catherine. Lucas was a prideful, haughty boy. Wesley’s words would make Lucas embarrassed and feel bad.“Cathy…”A deep trace of hurt flashed across Wesley’s face from being accused. “I just think that it’s unfair to you and the children. Have you forgotten? If I hadn’t prot
Shaun looked at the outline of Wesley’s car. He clenched his fists tightly.He knew that Wesley was definitely involved in the incident of him being attacked in the police station previously....Catherine brought the two children back to the Yule family’s villa.On the way, Suzie was doing fine, while Lucas was quite down. He kept looking outside the window with a cold expression.“Lucas, don’t overthink things,” Catherine consoled, “Don’t take Uncle Wesley’s words to heart. Just follow your own heart in everything you do.”“But Mom, I think Uncle Wesley is right.”Lucas said frustratedly, “Shaun has wronged us so many times. I shouldn’t recognize him as my father for the rest of my life, but lately, I keep going to the Hill family with him.”Shaun even accompanied him to play basketball, football, and went swimming with him.Lucas would feel happy without realizing it. Sometimes, he would even admire Shaun quite a bit for knowing everything and excelling in everything. “Lu
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
