“Huh? You guys got back together?” Rodney was shocked.“Yeah.” Shaun narrowed his eyes. “I hope that you’ll be more polite to Cathy. She doesn’t owe you anything, nor does she owe Sarah anything. I don’t have to be responsible for Sarah either. In the past, I never helped Cathy when you targeted her, which caused the distance between us to grow. That was my greatest mistake. If there’s a next time, I’ll beat you up directly.”Rodney almost spat out blood. “Are you here to visit a patient or threaten me? Who’s the one who has known you longer? Haven’t you heard the saying ‘bros before h*es’?”“I used to choose my friends in the past. As a result, my children lived their lives without a father. I almost lost two lovely children and a perfect family. I won’t let that happen in the future.”Shaun paused and changed the topic. “Also… Cathy is super smart, calm, and wise. She knows how to identify b*tches. She noticed many things before us and has been working in the business world for m
“Remember what I said today and be polite to your sister-in-law in the future.”Shaun smiled and left.Rodney wanted to cry. He was a patient but he was being threatened by someone else. That was too much....Shaun quickly drove to Hudson Corporation.Catherine had been waiting downstairs for a while.When she got into the car, her little face looked cold and it was clear she was in a bad mood. “Shaun Hill, you kept me waiting for more than five minutes.”Actually, she had the patience to wait. However, they had just gotten back together yet Shaun was already making her wait. It made her feel like he no longer cherished her the moment she agreed to get back together with him.“Cathy, don’t be angry. It’s my fault.” Shaun hurriedly apologized. “I just came from the Jewell family’s hospital. There’s always a traffic jam near that hospital.”“Why did you go to the hospital?” Catherine’s expression changed slightly.Shaun rubbed his nose unnaturally. “I… went to the andrology de
“But… the baby still needs a father,” Shaun mustered up the courage and said cautiously.“That depends on what kind of father it is. If it’s a father with a head full of sh*t, it’s not necessarily good for the child to be raised by a father like him. It’ll only harm the child.” Catherine disapproved.Shaun fell silent.He felt that Rodney would not be able to return to the Snow family anytime soon....The car drove for a while.Catherine suddenly realized that Shaun was deliberately driving around the city. After a while, he accelerated and drove quickly toward the esplanade.“Who are you taking me to see? You’re being so mysterious, and you’re also afraid of being followed.”“You’re so smart, Cathy,” Shaun praised. “You’ll know later. I won’t tell you now.”Catherine looked at how mysterious he was being and did not ask any more questions.50 minutes later, they drove into a villa. Although the villa was not next to the sea, it was possible to see the sea below the mountain
“You’re a very smart woman.” Brennan looked at her and suddenly said, “You’re smarter than I was back then. Shaun and you ended up better than me.”He was persecuted by Mason in the past and could only come back after more than 20 years.Mason had also misled him into thinking that Liam was not his son.That caused the biological brothers, Liam and Shaun, to hate each other for decades. Now… Liam was gone.Catherine knew he might be thinking about Liam and thus, was upset. “Uncle, don’t blame yourself. It wasn’t your fault.”“Yes.” Brennan nodded bitterly. “You’re smarter than me and made Shaun open his eyes to the truth. You were right to make up with him. Children need their parents.”“Yes, yes, yes, Cathy and I are luckier than you. Stop thinking about unpleasant things. Let’s eat.” Shaun served the food.Catherine talked with Brennan about business. Brennan was worthy of being an international business tycoon. He would casually point out a few things that would benefit Cathe
“No, strictly speaking, it was 11:28 p.m. last night,” Shaun corrected.Catherine was exasperated.Brennan looked at them bicker childishly as a complex smile flashed in his eyes.Once upon a time, Lea and he were like that too. However, they were young back then and did not know how to cherish each other.After living half their lives, they were still alone.“Wait here.”Brennan suddenly got up and went upstairs.Three minutes later, he came back downstairs with an envelope and handed it to Catherine.Catherine took it and saw that it was the title deed and real estate certificate to Hill Manor, as well as a bunch of keys.She was taken aback. “So it turns out that the mysterious buyer of Hill Manor was you.”“This is the first time we’re meeting, so I’ll give you this manor.” Brennan smiled. “Think of it as a birthday present for my grandchildren.”Catherine was shocked. “That’s too much. I can’t accept this.”“I’m giving it to Suzie and Lucas.” Brennan waved his hand. “T
Catherine sighed.It was true that Lea had made a lot of mistakes.Since she was married back then, she should have kept her distance from Mason. That way, she would not have misunderstood Brennan time and again.Between couples, the more they cared about each other, the more fragile the trust between them was.She and Shaun used to be like that.However, unlike Lea and Brennan’s marriage, Shaun had never slept with Sarah nor did they have children together—let alone get married. Otherwise, she would not have gotten back together with him at all.“Does your mom know that Liam is Brennan’s son?” Catherine asked.Shaun shook his head. “I didn’t tell her. I’m afraid she won’t be able to stand the shock.”In addition to marrying a scumbag like Mason, if she also found out that the child from that year was not Mason’s at all, Lea might break down.“Yes. Liam is already gone. If you tell her that… she might not be able to take it.” Catherine thought about it from a woman’s point of
Catherine looked at his forced smile and could not bear to hit him.“Cathy, we should cherish the present, so come back with me to the Hills’ residence tonight…”“Send me back to the Yules’ residence,” Catherine interrupted him. “I’m not divorced yet, so it’s not appropriate for me to stay in the Hills’ residence every day. Besides, I’m not married to you.”Shaun was silent for a while. “Then I’ll go back to the Yules’ residence with you.”“Do you want your leg to be broken by my dad?” Catherine did not doubt that Joel would do it. “Although my dad doesn’t like Wesley, he has disliked you for a long time.”“Then… when can I sleep with you at night?” Shaun was depressed. His tone made him sound like a complaining woman.Catherine blushed at his straightforward words. “Do you want to be told off? We just made up last night and you want to sleep with me tonight? Sorry, but I’m afraid this pace isn’t suitable for me. Why don’t you find a different target—”“I was wrong, Cathy. I won
“Who is it?”Shaun glanced at her while driving and could not help but get nervous when he saw her staring at a picture of a woman. “You’re not… getting obsessed with female celebrities again, right?”Then, he comforted himself. Forget it. Her being obsessed with female idols was better than her being obsessed with male idols.“It’s the rising theater star, Eliza Robbins.”Catherine said, “I wanted to see if she could compete against Cindy.”Shaun gave her a complicated look and told her the truth, “You’re talking about the female lead role? She definitely has no chance.”Catherine looked at him gloomily.“Don’t look at me like that.”Shaun felt aggrieved. “You might not know the Jewell family’s power in the entertainment industry. Chester is a major shareholder in the three largest media and film companies. As long as he says the word, not even the most arrogant director will dare to offend him. If they offend him, it’ll be the same as cutting off their livelihood in the enter
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
