Catherine stroked her hair unnaturally. “Don’t take Freya’s words to heart. Actually… That, just now, was still okay.”She really wanted to kill Freya at that moment. She did not know how many times in her entire life Freya’s words had put her in trouble. “What was still okay?” Shaun raised his head. His eyes shone with a bright smile. Only then did Catherine realize she was tricked. She glared at him, turned around, and got down from the bed. “I’m not talking to you anymore.”“Don’t.” Shaun wrapped his hand around her waist in a hurry. He sounded slightly down. “Actually, what Freya said isn’t wrong. Cathy, if I can’t recover, will you leave me?”Catherine put on a straight face. “Shaun, whether I’ll leave you or not has nothing to do with this matter. If I really cared about it, I wouldn’t have made up with you from the start. None of us knows what will happen in the future, just like in the past. Although you whispered countless sweet nothings, we still separated in the end.
“I know.” Freya said, “I’m just worried Rodney will be there too. Think about it. Sarah is the woman he loves the most, so I must dress up nicely. I can’t become a plain, unattractive woman whom he looks down on just because I’m pregnant.”“You’re overthinking. Rodney is still in the hospital.”“That’s not for sure. His obsession with Sarah is especially deep. Alright, let’s not talk anymore. I’m hanging up.”“Hurry up…”The call ended before Catherine could finish her sentence.After waiting for another 10 minutes, Freya finally appeared. However, her dress-up was indeed very thoughtful. Her thick, long hair rested on her back. Her petite face that looked mixed-race seemed like there was no powder on it, making her look clean, natural, and fresh. There was tomato-red lipstick applied on her lips. She exuded a youthful feeling without makeup and just a little lipstick. As for her clothing, Freya wore a denim dress with a brown leather belt on her waist, exposing her pretty, fair
“...”Catherine, who was in the midst of putting on makeup, was stunned.“You can’t possibly have… forgotten about it, right?” Shaun gritted his teeth. “How’s that possible? I’m just picking Freya up, but she was dilly-dallying.” Just as Catherine finished speaking, she received a death stare from Freya.“Why are you picking her up? Why is a pregnant woman like her running around?” Shaun was angry and gloomy. “Come over quickly. If you aren’t here, it’s meaningless even if I win.”“Okay. I’ll come immediately.”After Catherine hung up, Freya rolled her eyes at her. “I dilly-dallied and delayed your time?”“I waited for you for half an hour. I’m not lying, right?” Catherine said with a smile.Freya turned her head around and ignored her.Fortunately, the court was near that area.Although they were a few minutes late, they managed to make it in time.The trial had already started, and the seats in the front were full. Hence, they bent over and sat on the second last row quie
Catherine really wanted to pay attention to the trial, but Freya was too noisy.Did Freya come to see Sarah lose or make friends?In just a moment, they had even settled dinner plans.Just as she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, a man in front suddenly turned around. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, “Freya Lynch, can you be quiet?”The Snow family may have asked Rodney to please Freya, but that woman was busy socializing once she arrived, and her enthusiastic look made him a little angry.She was Nathan’s goddaughter after all. Was she not afraid of people approaching her with bad intentions? She even invited that person for a meal after knowing her for less than a minute.Freya was taken aback. Only then she realized Rodney was sitting in front of her.That b*stard really came. He even dared to be so fierce to her. “Rodney, it’s none of your f*cking business.”She kicked his butt hard with her leg. The backrest of the chair had a cut-out, so her kic
Sarah sat on the defendant’s seat. Her gaze was cold, and she felt very smug.Her attorney, Stevens, said indifferently, “The rumored top attorney in Australia is nothing much.”Sarah asked in a low voice, “Are we guaranteed to win?”“Almost. Didn’t you see the judge’s dissatisfactory gaze toward Shaun? Now, let me trample him for the last time.”Stevens stood up and asked Shaun, “Mr. Shaun Hill, I heard that you hooked up with a married woman recently. Is that true?”Shaun’s lips moved. “She’s my ex-wife…”“All you need to answer is whether it’s true or false. Did you hook up with a woman who has yet divorced?” Stevens said. “Yes.” Shaun nodded.Stevens smiled. He looked toward the judge. “Your Honor, you’ve heard that too. No matter what reason Shaun has, the fact that he is together with a married woman publicly states that he has low morals. This is even a negative influence on society. Therefore, him cheating Sarah’s feelings and wasting more than ten years of my client’s
When Thomas saw Sarah, he could not help but shudder. Sarah quickly said with reddened eyes, “Brother, where have you been all this time? I was so worried. How did you get hurt? Did Shaun threaten you?”Shaun immediately rebuked, “Sarah, please mind your words. I can sue you for defamation.”The judge glared at Sarah as a warning too. “The witness can take his place.”After Thomas nervously got into the witness box, Shaun asked, “Mr. Thomas Neeson, I would like to ask a question. Did I help Neeson Corporation many times after your father passed away? Did I secretly help Neeson Corporation to look for collaboration partners multiple times as well?”Thomas nodded fearfully. “Yes.”Shaun said, “If it weren’t for me, could Neeson Corporation have lasted until today?”Thomas shook his head. “No.”Shaun asked again, “Your sister said I had sex with her before. Do you think this is true?”Stevens stood up. “Objection. Thomas is just my client’s brother. How would he know such a priv
Sarah’s whole body trembled with an embarrassed expression.Thomas continued saying, “You’re clearly a home-wrecker that ruined other people’s marriage. After Shaun and Catherine had a conflict, and after you wounded yourself that time on purpose, you asked me to tell Shaun that you wanted to live in the seaside villa. The real reason is that you wanted to live in the seaside love nest that Catherine and Shaun used to stay in, then show it off to Catherine to give her a blow.”“Moreover, that year when Catherine was pregnant with fraternal twins, you told me that you would definitely deal with the twins after Shaun handed the children to you.”“...”When Thomas revealed incident after incident, everyone in the courtroom was stunned.Some even could not resist discussing it.“Didn’t she say she was an innocent victim? That it was Shaun who betrayed her and married another woman, and he coaxed her back with sweet words again afterward.”“So in the end, she was the mistress. Ew.”
When he thought of those years he and Sarah lived in the seaside villa, he wanted to slap himself right there and then so badly. All his actions were torturing his own heart.“You b*tch.” Shaun’s eyes were bloodshot. Even a well-mannered man like him could not resist cursing vulgar words at that moment. “That’s not true,” Sarah shouted amidst her frustrated and hopeless crying. “I didn’t do that. Thomas, why are you framing me? What benefit did Shaun give you? I know. Are you scared of Chester? Did you forget who made you this way?”“You. It’s all you.” Thomas became unreasonable too. “Why didn’t you, as my sister, stop me whenever I had evil thoughts? As long as it could hurt the people by Catherine’s side, you would encourage me to do them. If it weren’t because you were so close to Shaun and his friends, I wouldn’t have been so arrogant. You were the one who made me this way today.”“You brought everything today upon yourself. Haven’t I cleaned up after you enough all these yea
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
