โDad, I didnโt marry Wesley because I loved him. I might have liked him a little, but it was more so because I was moved. He had done so much for me, so I wanted to give him happiness. I thought he was worthy of my dependence.โCatherine bowed her head bitterly. โOnly recently did I realize that I might not understand him very well. I often feel tired and stressed when Iโm with him. Of course, itโs also because I have great responsibilities.โJoel sighed deeply. He had also married a woman he did not love, so he understood her feelings well.โFine, do what you want. Iโm willing to support you unconditionally. Even if you remain unmarried and stay at home for life, I wonโt dislike you. Besides, a man who would raise a hand against a woman is not a good man.โ Joel was the protective kind. He used to like Wesley before, but since Wesley had hit his daughter, he no longer liked him.He did not care if his daughter had done something wrong. In any case, his daughter should be treated
Just as Suzie finished speaking, Shaun called again in a hurry. โSuzie, you said that your mommy wants to divorce Wesley. Is that true?โโScummy dad, donโt ask any more questions. Iโm going to accompany Mommy now. Her face must hurt a lot now.โSuzie mercilessly hung up the phone again.Shaun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a while, his eyes cold with anger.How dare Wesley hit her? Damn it! He had to teach Wesley a lesson.However, what he was more worried about now was Catherine.He immediately asked Chester to get the best ointment and headed to the Yule villa.When he reached the door, he called Catherine. โCome out. I brought you some ointment. Chester said that this ointment is very useful. Youโll get better after using it for a day or two.โCatherine very quickly understood what had happened. Suzie must have snitched. She started to have a headache and said, โI already put on ointment. I donโt need you to care about me.โโYours isnโt as good as mine,โ
However, Shaun did not give up.Instead, he hugged her, tightly holding her delicate body in his arms.The evening breeze blew her silk nightgown.โCathy, divorce him. Wesley doesnโt deserve you.โCatherine was stunned for a moment before returning to her senses. She pushed him away. โLet me go. If people see us alone in the middle of the night, I wonโt be able to wash my name clean even if I jump into the river. Do you want me to get beaten again?โShaunโs heart ached when he heard her words and he let go of her.Although he wanted to hold her like this forever, he was even more afraid that she would get hurt because of him.โShaun, even if I divorce him one day, it wonโt be because of you. Donโt flatter yourself.โ Catherine cooled her expression and deliberately said in a harsh tone.โCathy, you know best if Iโm flattering myself or not.โ Shaun looked at her and smiled. โIf it were another man, would you have helped him like you helped me that night?โAt the thought of what
Maybe Shaun would also suddenly disappear like that one day...She clenched the steering wheel involuntarily....When Shaun saw her car disappear and was about to get into his own car, he received a text message from Catherine: [Shaun, promise me you wonโt go to Wesley, or Iโll never talk to you again for the rest of my life.]Shaunโs thin lips curled faintly.โCathy, your heart is clearly still concerned about me.โEven if you keep saying you donโt love me, my position in your heart is still different.โHe lowered his head and replied: [Okay, I wonโt go to him, so talk to me forever, okay?]After the message was sent, there was no response.However, he was not disappointed.He already knew that she would not respond.As for Wesley hitting herโฆ He had agreed to Catherineโs request, but if he did not teach Wesley a lesson, his name was not Shaun Hill.Wesley liked maintaining his gentlemanly and elegant image, so Shaun would let him make a fool of himself....When Cather
Wesleyโs eyes were red. โI was just irritated that day. First, it was that incident with Senator Mead, and then there was Shaun and you. I was too afraid of losing you.โAs he spoke, a pained expression suddenly appeared on his face.โWhatโsโฆ wrong?โ Catherine was startled.โItโs nothing. I just didnโt rest well, so my chest is a little uncomfortable,โ Wesley pretended to casually say.Catherine knew that he often felt unwell because he lost a kidney when he saved her three years ago.Back then, the doctor had also said that he could not be too stimulated.โCathy, come home, okay?โ Wesley suddenly kneeled on the ground. โI promise Iโll never hit you again. Letโs go back to how we were before, okay?โCatherine looked at him silently for a while before saying in a low voice, โGet up. Iโll go back in the afternoon.โWesleyโs eyes looked up in surprise. โReally?โโYeah.โ Catherine lowered her eyes. โI donโt blame you either. What happened that day wasโฆโโDonโt say it. I know you
โThatโs true, you might not be used to working a nine to five job,โ Wesley said cordially. โIf you like freedom, I can arrange a job for you. I need someone to help me examine the pharmacies abroadโโโThat wonโt do. My left and right-hand men are Logan and Austin. I canโt let them get too far away from me,โ Catherine came down from upstairs and interrupted him with a laugh.โThatโs true. I didnโt think it through.โ Wesley saw her smile and his heart finally let out a sigh of relief. โYou guys talk. Iโll cook tonight.โThen, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.Catherine walked over to Logan and glanced at him, deliberately asking, โHave you thought about what position you want?โLogan lowered his voice and said, โThere are hidden cameras installed in the living room, dining hall, your bedroom, and the kitchen. I didnโt dare to go anywhere else. There must be someone watching behind the scenes, so Iโm afraid of arousing suspicion. But Iโm guessing there are hidden came
โHow would a bodyguard like him dare to eat a meal cooked by the great President Lyons?โ Catherine smiled faintly.She looked at Wesleyโs handsome face. The more she smiled, the more her heart trembled.It seemed like ever since she met Wesley, he had the same gentle and silent watchful look.It was the same now as well.Had he changed somewhere along the way, or had he always been this good at hiding his true colors?If Ethan died in his hands, how vicious must this person be to be able to kill his own nephew without mercy?Did such a terrible person know how to love?Was his love for her real?She thought about what Shaun had said. Wesley was holding back because he wanted to take revenge on her. She would become the second Lea Hill.The thought flashed in her mind.She had a suspicion that if her guess was right, she might end up worse than Lea.At least no matter how bad Mason was, he still cared about the Campos family.โLogan is very important to you, so he is to me t
Elle lowered her voice. โDuring this period of time, Chance would accompany Yael every day and occasionally bring her out for maternity check-ups or buy groceries. I didnโt dare to follow too closely because I was afraid that Chance would find out. After all, heโs very good at not being followed.โโSoโฆ you didnโt find out anything?โ Shaun was very disappointed. Had he made a wrong guess?โNo, I found something,โ Elle said. โYesterday, Chance and Yael went into a private restaurant for dinner together. I didnโt dare to go in after them, but I saw that Ivan and Charlie Campos also arrived shortly after. They stayed in the restaurant for more than an hour.โShaunโs hand on the table slowly clenched into a fist. โThatโs too coincidental.โElle nodded with a complicated gaze. โYes. Not long after Ivan and Charlie left, Chance and Yael came out too. Yael seemed to be in a very good mood.โโLooks like my guess might be right.โShaunโs thin lips pursed with a chill. He had thought about
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. โI didnโt expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. Iโm old.โLooking at Charityโs pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. โIf youโre considered old, Iโm even older.โโFor men, the older, the more charming,โ Charity said.โReally?โ Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. โDo you think Iโm charming?โCharity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. โNot in the slightest.โChester was exasperated. โEven if Iโm not, I wonโt allow you to escape my clutches.โAs 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.โGo away. You may kiss your girlโฆโCharity
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, โDo you want me to toss the bouquet to you?โ โNo.โCharity 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.โAlright. Although you donโt want it, it doesnโt mean he feels the same.โ 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?โWhat gives? Could he have done it with you?โ As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.โYouโre overthinking it.โCatherine said with a discreet smile, โEven if thereโs something wrong with that part of his, he couldโve done it if he wanted to.โโWow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.โ Freya chuckled. โCharity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.โHowever, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. โShaun 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.โ After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, โIt doesnโt matter to me. Iโll let nature take its
โYou havenโt answered my question.โ Charity asked in annoyance, โWhy were you in a hurry to get away from me?โ A miserable look washed over Chesterโs face. โIf I hadnโt done that, Iโm afraid I wouldnโt have been able to get hold of myself.โCharity looked down at the lower part of Chesterโs body. โIs it becauseโฆ you canโt control it anymore?โHer directness caused Chesterโs face to turn grim. โCharity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine canโt function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.โOnce 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.โCharity, next time, can Iโฆโ Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. โKiss you?โCharityโs 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. โCharity, itโs about time to wake up. Youโre going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.โWhile 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.โAre you planning to lie in?โAs it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. โLet me help you get changed.โBy the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaidโs outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. โWhy 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 Chesterโs deep, gentle voice. โCharity, wake upโฆโShe opened her eyes to see Chesterโs face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. โHow did I fall asleep?โHer hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her bodyโs 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. โWho allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.โโI called you, but you didnโt hear me.โChester lied without flinching. โI came in because I was worried something happened to you. Youโve been in
โI should be the one asking you why youโre in my room,โ Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.โ...โCharity 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. โAre you afraid that Iโll eat you up?โโYou think you can do that, huh?โ Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. โCan you do it now?โChesterโs 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.โSince you know I canโt do that, what are you afraid of?โ Chester gripped her waist. โCharity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you donโt stay here, you have nowhere else to go.โCharity stomped on his foot. โDid y
โSuspect that the child is yours?โ 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. โAs 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 hasnโt noticed it?โChester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. โDo you meanโฆโโPerhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasnโt exposed it.โ Shaun said indifferently, โI 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?โChester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. โMaybe she didnโt guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, โWhatโs wrong?โ โYour husband is bullying me.โ Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. โMove your paw off my wife,โ Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherineโs presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. โWhat are you doing?โCatherine glared at her husband. โChase and I are friends. Weโre besties. Whatโs with your attitude?โโThatโs right.โ Chase straightened his back with Catherineโs support. โI 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. Iโm so much better than you guys, yet I still donโt have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?โโIs he angry because of that?โ Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. โWas I wrong?โ Catherine threw the bag o
