“...Fine,” Catherine finally gave in. Her son and daughter were her beloved.Shaun was very pleased. “Then I’ll tell Aunty Yasmine to buy more groceries and cook what you like.”Catherine rolled her eyes at him.Did he think that she was as thick-skinned as him?They were already divorced, but she was going to the Hill family for dinner. What would others think of her?“Aunty Yasmine always talks about you.” Shaun ignored her glare and added enthusiastically, “She misses you a lot.”Catherine’s heart warmed. At that time, Aunty Yasmine always helped her. “She’s still around?”“Always has been. After Hill Manor was sold, many servants were dispersed, but Aunty Yasmine stayed. She thinks of the Hill family as her home.” Shaun bent down to fasten her seatbelt.When he saw her slightly distracted, he took the opportunity to steal a kiss from her lips.“Peach-flavored lipstick,” Shaun raised his handsome brows. His elite business appearance made it so that people would find him doi
Wesley tried to fling him away, but Shaun’s hand was stuck to his arm, unable to be shaken off no matter what.Wesley’s expression changed slightly, “Shaun Hill, let go.”“You want me to let go? Sure, but show me your face. I’m going to let you go back the same way you hit Cathy that day.”Shaun’s eyes burst with cold anger. “Wesley, you were pretty arrogant just now. If I didn’t come today, were you gonna beat her up again? Do you like slapping people that much?”Then, he slapped Wesley’s face mercilessly.Wesley did not expect that he would get hit and could not react for a while. When he finally felt the burning pain on his face, he was furious.“How dare you hit me. You’re asking to die.”He used his other hand to hit Shaun.Shaun caught his hand and kneed him unexpectedly.Wesley bent over in pain, and Shaun pressed him down on the car hood and slapped him again. “Damn it, your face is really freaking hard. It’s like pigskin. No wonder you like pretending to be affectiona
Shaun’s voice was deliberately loud.Catherine noticed clearly Wesley’s facial muscles twitching violently when he heard Shaun.She almost shed tears from laughter.To be honest, she never knew that Shaun had the potential to antagonize people like this.However, seeing how angry Wesley was, she felt quite happy.She did not forget how savage Wesley was a few days ago. She had never been beaten like that before.“Let’s ignore him and go. When you’re up, tell the guard at the door to strengthen the security, lest a random person runs in.” Shaun pushed her into the elevator.“You… be careful too.” Catherine pressed the button and said hesitatingly.She knew Wesley’s personality too well. He would not just forget this humiliation.He could even kill Ethan, let alone Shaun.“Are you concerned about me?” Shaun’s handsome face immediately overflowed with joy.“I just… don’t want you to die because of me. Also, would you die if you stop projecting your desires on me for a day?” Cat
“Yeah, we’re eager to watch how you’re going to turn things around.”“Can you tell us what you’ll be revealing this evening? We’re already not in the mood to work hard.” “...”With all these arguments going on in the meeting room, Catherine was at a loss for words. This was quite different from her expectations. She thought that these executives would, to a certain extent, blame her.Who knew the situation would turn out to be more like a press conference that’s filled with paparazzi?She clenched her fists, coughing lightly. “Can all of you behave yourselves? We’re supposed to discuss matters related to the company during the meeting instead of my private affairs.”General Manager Wolfe said with a grin, “We can’t help ourselves. Almost everyone in Australia is talking about the love triangle you’re involved in. Everyone’s saying that your love life can be turned into a romance movie that’s full of ups and downs.” “Exactly. A well-known writer contacted me this morning, say
General Manager Wolfe raised his thumb. “You’re truly brilliant and resolute. I’m sure Hudson will rise to international heights under your leadership…”“Don’t say that.” Catherine’s face darkened. “General Manager Wolfe, what happened to you guys? All of you are like brown nosers now.”“No, Chairwoman Jones. You’re currently a well-known figure in Australia. Everyone knows your name, and the public has been paying attention to everything you do,” General Manager Wolfe replied with a smile.Catherine sighed, feeling mentally exhausted. “Enough. I understand. Do keep an eye on our company’s employees because Charlie’s spy is definitely among us. When Shaun came to my office to look for me last time, Charlie arrived right after him.”“Alright.” When General Manager Wolfe walked to the door, he could not help looking back with anticipation. “Chairwoman Jones, I’ll be waiting for your big news at six o’clock.”Catherine was speechless.If she did not announce anything later, was she
Shaun’s eyes flashed with misery. He stretched out one hand to hold her hand and squeezed it gently. “I can take over the role of searching for evidence. I don’t want you to suffer so much.”“Can you stop… groping me?” Catherine lifted her hand that was held in his palm, her eyes looking helpless.“Cathy, don’t get me wrong.” Shaun blinked innocently. “I was afraid that you were cold, so I just wanted to warm your hand.”His shameless behavior made the corners of Catherine’s mouth twitch. “It’s 25 degrees Celsius today.”“No, it’s freezing. If you don’t believe me, let’s see.” As Shaun was speaking, he turned on the air conditioner in his car and set it at 16 degrees Celcius.Since it was a superb car, the air conditioner immediately buzzed. The cool air blew on her, nearly causing her to have goosebumps.“...”Catherine completely lost to him.She swiftly turned off the air conditioner before glaring at him fiercely. “Childish.”Shaun laughed, his thin lips curling into a swe
Catherine was speechless.Before she could speak, Old Madam Hill’s agitated voice rang out. “What? You guys have gotten back together?”Aunty Yasmine grinned from ear to ear. “That’s great! If it weren’t for those misunderstandings, you guys wouldn’t have separated in the first place.”Lea sighed with mixed feelings. “That’s good. The children will be able to grow up healthily in a complete family.” Old Master Hill, who was seated in a wheelchair, gave a light cough. “Now that you guys have gotten back together, don’t break up so easily anymore.”“...”Catherine was speechless when she saw the large group of people from the Hill family behind her.What made her even more speechless was when Shaun said earnestly, “I’ll definitely treat Cathy well. After all the obstacles we’ve been through, I’ve already realized my mistakes—”Before he could finish his sentence, Catherine caught him off guard by stepping on his foot forcefully. “You guys have misunderstood. We haven’t made pe
Catherine had heard about Lea’s suffering.She was fortunate that Ethan had tried to warn her and Tracy let her know about it. Otherwise, she would have ended up in the same situation as Lea.“Mommy, draw with us, okay?” Suzie ran to her with some pencils and pestered her.Catherine immediately turned all her attention to the kids.Due to her presence, the kids ate obediently, which was a rare occurrence.After finishing their meals, the kids dragged her to play football.Toward the end of the activity, Catherine was exhausted, so she just watched Shaun play with them at the side.Lea walked to Catherine and gazed at those figures on the lawn. With a smile, she said, “It’s been a while since these two kids were this happy. Although they call Shaun ‘scummy dad’, they’ve slowly accepted him. Lucas is no exception.”Catherine bit her thin lip. “Aunty Lea, what are you trying to say?”“I just hope that you’ll give Shaun a chance.”Lea added in agony, “As Shaun’s mother, I’m large
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
