“Ah, why did you drop the towel?!”

Catherine was completely stupefied as it was the first time she encountered this kind of situation. She reached out to cover her eyes and that was when she realized the white towel was in her hand.

Did she… Did she accidentally pull the towel off him earlier?

“The towel came off?”

Shaun’s indifferent voice swept past her cheeks like cold ice. “I’ve never seen a woman as shameless as you.”

She felt like crying, but no tears came out. “I didn’t plan to do so. I accidentally tripped on the mat.”

“I’ve been walking on this mat every single day but I’ve not tripped before. Not once. You can’t convince me with this ridiculous excuse.” The man did not believe her at all.

She blinked blankly. The situation was beyond mending now, so she replied innocently, “Perhaps after having a glimpse of your god-like and impeccably perfect body, my mind went blank and I lost my ability to focus…”

The man scoffed out of anger. He had encountered numerous women in his life, but not one was this brazen.

“So you’re shifting the blame onto me now?”

“No, not at all. It’s my fault, really, for I’ve not seen much of life…”

“Will you stop staring? Get out.” Shaun could not hear more of that. He felt the blood boiling in his veins and tried really hard to resist kicking her in the face.

“Yes, of course. I’ll leave right away.”

Catherine hurriedly rose to her feet and headed for the door.

“Stand right there!”

A frustrated voice shouted behind her. The man was fuming with rage and said between gritted teeth, “Give me my towel.”

She lowered her eyes to the towel she was clutching. She was so embarrassed that she wished there was a hole she could just crawl into.

“Here.”

She put on a bold face and shoved the towel into his hands.

“...”

He was speechless when he realized the direction she was looking in.

What an audacious woman!

Slam! Catherine slammed the door shut behind her, patting her chest while puffing.

She seemed to notice the tips of the man’s ears turning bright red before she left the room. Was he embarrassed?

It was quite adorable, to be honest.

However, after this incident, she dared not linger in the living room anymore and returned to her bedroom right away.

Nonetheless, her mind did not seem capable of recovering from the surprise.

She had no idea how much time had passed when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

The woman jumped up in fright. A couple of seconds later, she replied timidly, “Can we talk about this tomorrow? I’m sleepy.”

“Do you keep your lights on when you sleep?” Shaun’s deep voice entered through the gap beneath the door. “Don’t make me get the key.”

She scratched her head in frustration before opening the door.

The man who was standing by the door was dressed in his gray pajamas. The refreshing scent of his aftershave smelled pleasant.

The buttons of his shirt were done all the way to the top, covering his Adam’s apple. It was only autumn now, so it was not even that chilly.

“What are you looking at?”

Shaun became more furious upon sensing her gaze. This woman sure had the cheek!

Speechless, Catherine did not know what his piercing stare meant. “Nothing.”

“You know better than anyone else.”

He lowered his head to look at the woman. From this angle, her neck appeared slim and elegant. Perhaps it was the light or another reason, but her face seemed to be illuminated with a charming sunset glow.

His gaze moved down to the neckline of her cotton pajamas.

Right away, his eyes narrowed as he became more determined about his decision.

“Well, what are you looking at?”

She posed the same question.

The man’s piercing stare was so intimidating that she, who was mentally prepared to seduce him, was having cold feet. She cast her gaze downward and immediately used her hands to cover her chest instinctively.

He scoffed. “I’m trying to see how you’ll seduce me.”

“...”

She was at a loss for words. Admittedly, she did have that thought before but not now.

“I wasn’t…”

The woman pouted. Her face was clean, fair, and tender. She looked beautiful.

Shaun withdrew his gaze, and indifference instantly returned to the features on his handsome face. “I can give you the money to rent a place somewhere else. It’s not appropriate for us to live in the same house.

He was chasing her out of the house.

Catherine became nervous upon hearing that. “How is it inappropriate? We’re lawfully wedded.”

A sarcastic smile spread across his face. “I think you know the real reason why we got married.”

Upon hearing that, she attempted to put on her best seductive smile while trying to look shy at the same time. “Isn’t it because I fell for you at first sight? Since that moment, my young heart has been deeply attached to you.”

“...”

Speechless.

He must have been bewitched that night.

Out of the blue, she said, “I get it now. You must still be mad about the incident earlier. I know you feel as if you’ve been taken advantage of and it’s normal to think that way.”

She bit her pink lip, looking as if she was trying to make up her mind.

“Well… What about I show you what I have as well?”

Then, she reached out to undo the top button of her pajamas.

He subconsciously stopped breathing for a split second before he turned around and slammed the door shut, not forgetting to comment on her outrageously brazen behavior.

She heaved a sigh of relief as she looked at her collarbones. She found it quite funny that he had left before she could show anything.

Despite his bad temper, he was still a decent gentleman.

It was quite rare to meet a man like this nowadays.

Midnight. Catherine was woken up by the noise of the cat meowing incessantly.

She got out of bed and turned the lights on. Fudge was laying under the table, throwing up weakly.

“Fudge.” Startled, she reached out to get the cat, but Shaun’s indifferent voice rang behind her.

“Get out of the way.”

Her hands froze mid-air. He stepped forward to pick the cat up.

His chiseled jawline appeared indifferent and distant under the soft illumination of the lights. Nonetheless, beneath the messy black hair, somewhere deep within his pair of dark brown eyes was sparkling with an enchanting gentleness.”

“What happened to her?”

Catherine felt lost and helpless to see the adorable cat suffering.

“What do you think?” Shaun glared at her with rage in his eyes. “She’s a cat but you’ve been feeding her trash. Do you seriously think her stomach can handle it?”

She felt utterly remorseful. She had seen stray cats before that ate almost anything they could find on the streets. This was why she thought cats had a strong digestive system.

“I’m sorry.”

“I won’t let you off the hook if something bad happens to Fudge!”

He glared at her long and hard before rising to his feet and grabbing the car keys. He then hurried out of the house with Fudge in his arms.

She quickly followed him to the elevator. “I know a good veterinarian. Let me show you the way,” she said anxiously.

He pursed his lips coldly without acknowledging her.

The elevator stopped at the parking lot and he stepped out of it in big strides.

When they got to the car, she had just opened the door to the passenger seat when a strong arm pulled her away forcefully from the back.

Catherine, who was wearing slippers, staggered backward. Being tipped off her balance, she fell backward and landed on the ground.

He stood in front of the car. She was frightened by the intense despise that exuded from his dark pupils. “Get out of here immediately. I don’t wish to see you here by the time I come home. I won’t ask politely again.”

Then, Shaun carried Fudge into the car. The white Lexus sped off into the distance in no time.

Left alone in the dark parking lot, Catherine’s eyes welled up with tears as she looked at the car driving off. The grievances that she had been holding back the entire day finally poured down her face like a broken dam.

Everyone had been giving her the cold shoulder today, keeping her at a distance.

She did not feel as if she belonged to the Jones household anymore.

Fudge was the only one left that was nice to her.

However, she could not even remain at this place any longer.

Her lips twitched into a sarcastic smile. Suddenly, the image of Fudge throwing up earlier popped into her mind and she felt deeply sorry.

Catherine knew Shaun was not interested in her, yet she persisted in pestering him anyway in order to achieve her own goal. She completely disregarded her own dignity. Was this really worth it?

She even put Fudge through this pain.

Perhaps it was time for her to leave.

  • Let Me Go, Mr. Hill!   Chapter 12

    Catherine got up to her feet. She returned to the house to pack up her belongings and left. 2:00 a.m.She did not want to disrupt her friend’s sleep, so she drove to the nearest five-star hotel right away.In the lobby, she retrieved her credit card and handed it to the receptionist. It was returned into her hands a few seconds later. “I’m sorry to inform you that this card can’t be used.”Startled, she received it and gave the person another card.However, she failed to make the payment even after several tries with her other cards.It finally dawned upon her that the Joneses had suspended all of her credit cards.Although she had earned a few million dollars in the past couple of years from working on several projects, she had handed over the money to Sally without keeping any for herself.She normally used the credit cards given to her by Jeffery for her daily expenses, but those cards were all currently suspended. All she had left was a pay card that only had a little over

    “Alright, I want to know more about the process. What’s the best way to keep her comfortable during pregnancy?” Shaun enquired. For the next ten minutes, the vet explained the process in detail and gave him a cat pregnancy guide in the end. “A pregnant cat must watch its nutrition intake. Your cat is quite weak to begin with, thus miscarriage might happen easily. It’s best if you hire someone to look after it.”“...”Shaun was at a loss for words.Was it a pet or a hardnut were they dealing with here?For some reason, he was suddenly reminded of Catherine’s exceptional cooking skills. It occurred to him that he might have been too rude to her just now.Right, he should probably stop bringing up the topic of her leaving the house when he returned later.Back at Jadeite Bay, he opened the door and turned the lights on.Something did not feel right.The door of the guest room was open and there was no one in sight. He could not find a single garment of women’s clothing in there.

    Cindy took off her sunglasses to throw a sarcastic glance at Catherine. “It’s not a bad thing that you bumped into me today as I’m tired of turning you down with excuses as well. Honestly, it’s your fault that you don’t know where you stand. Must you make me spell things out for you before you finally get it?”Catherine felt like a failure as she studied this beautifully made-up face in front of her face.Both Ethan and Cindy only chose to be nice to her before this because she was next in line as the heir of the Jones family.“Cindy, are you being serious?” Freya shouted, “Did you forget how you were bullied by Janet in the past? Or how Cathy helped you with the songs…”“Stop trying to restrain me using the past. She and I aren’t from the same world,” Cindy cut her off nervously. “Freya, take my advice. Some people will only bring you down. It’s best to stay away from them.”“Shut up! Friends are supposed to support each other without hoping to get something in return. Don’t you

    Catherine lifted her head, but the server kicked her out of the restaurant before she could take a good look.A tall and strong man suddenly approached with an aura of the warm sunlight. He appeared naturally elegant in his deep blue double-breasted blazer.His facial features were unusually defined and good-looking. His dark deep-set eyes and thick long brows gave out an imposing manner.Shaun Hill…This took her by surprise. Little did she expect to bump into this man so soon.Not to mention at a time when she was looking so battered and disheveled.Oh no, he already disliked her to begin with. He would probably propose a divorce right after this.Chase stepped forward from the back and instantly recognized Catherine.He had seen the woman before in other banquets, not to mention she was one of the few publicly recognized beautiful women of Melbourne.However, it was odd to see her in this distraught state. A playful tease spread across his face. “Shaun, isn’t this your…”

    Shaun suddenly curled a smile and raised his eyebrows. “You can leave, but you have to leave in the same way as they were dragged out just now.”Catherine was stunned as her eyes settled on Shaun. She was caught in a moment of conflicting emotions. She did not expect him to stand up for her. Somehow, she could not help but find him rather attractive. At that moment, Rebecca and the other two women could no longer keep their cool.Janet roared, “Who do you think you are? Do you know who we are?”Shaun kept still, throwing a glance at Chase.Chase looked sideways at the group of servers with a smile. “Should I personally give your boss a call? The person who’s the harshest in dragging them out will be rewarded.”Everyone in the restaurant was aware of Chase’s identity. Even the servers’ boss would treat him courteously.The group of servers immediately rushed to brutally drag Rebecca and the two women out.All of the three women had come well-dressed. However, their hair soon

    “That... You guys have misunderstood me. My stomach hasn’t been feeling well recently, so I’m opting for blander food…”“You don’t have to explain further. I understand.” Freya patted Catherine on the back of her hand while chuckling.Catherine was dejected. Sure enough, her friend turned out to be her betrayer.Shaun, who had been quiet, raised his long, thick eyelashes and glanced at the woman opposite him.She was wearing a pink knitted top today. The skin on her neck was milky, yet her face had reddened. The redness had even spread to the delicate skin around her ear lobes. His eyes sparkled without him realizing it. However, he soon stifled the look, then took a sip of coffee.Struck with an idea, Freya took out her phone and pretended to discuss something with her best friend. “Which place are you planning to rent? I think this apartment is pretty good. It only costs 800 dollars per month.” Chase said, “What kind of a good apartment are you able to rent with 800 dollars?

    Ethan’s thin lips opened and closed elegantly.Catherine had heard him saying sweet words countless times. This time, however, she was heartbroken.“Yeah, I’m awful. So are you here to take revenge against me on behalf of your fiancée?”“You still haven’t realized your mistake at this point,” Ethan furiously added, “Mr. and Mrs. Jones are already discontented with you. Why can’t you behave yourself? People out there are calling you small-minded.” “Yeah, I’m small-minded,” Catherine admitted it openly. “I’m not a saint either.”“Catherine!”Ethan could not help but knock on the car with his fist.“You’ve really let me down. I’ve been trying hard to endure for the sake of our future, hoping that I’ll be able to take over Lowe Corporation soon. What about you? Look at what you’ve done. Not only did you leave Summit and end up being jobless, but your reputation has also been ruined. Can’t you push yourself a little harder?”“I’m working hard.” ‘I’m working hard to consolidate my

    Kneeling down…Catherine was extremely aggrieved. “Why don’t you ask Rebecca what she did to me? She—”“Your sister is kind-hearted, unlike you. All you’ve done is have a falling-out with Janet. The Campbell family is one of the wealthiest families. Your sister deliberately established a rapport with Janet to ensure that the Jones and Campbell families would get along well. “What about you? You did so many evil things and even hurt your sister. How did I end up raising such an ill-bred daughter like you?” “I won’t go back.” Catherine gritted her teeth. Sally roared, “Don’t ever come back, then. I won’t treat you as my daughter anymore!”Catherine inhaled deeply. “Have you ever been concerned about me? Before she returned, you always thought that I wasn’t as good as others no matter how hard I worked. You wouldn’t talk to me apart from telling me off. Am I really your daughter?”After she howled in pain, her tears gushed out.Indeed, she was overwhelmed by frustration. She di

    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.

    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
