“Yes, I’ll get to it right away.”… The next morning, Shaun was still sleeping in the lounge in his office when he suddenly heard Hadley’s voice from outside.“Eldest Young Master is still sleeping…”“Yes, I know. I won’t wake him up.”After the beautiful voice sounded, the door was gently pushed open, and Catherine walked in wearing a one-shoulder red plaid dress. Her exposed shoulder was as white as milk, looking bewitching and seductive. Along with her delicate eyes and features, Shaun suddenly felt a fire in his calm chest.“You’re awake.” Catherine paused the moment she met his eyes.“Why are you here so early?” Shaun rubbed his slightly messy hair.“I’m here to see… if you have hidden any beautiful women in the office lounge… Ah.” Catherine deliberately joked and looked around. However, before she could finish her sentence, she was pulled into a strong and hot chest by an arm.“There is one beautiful woman… right here.” Shaun then flipped her over and pressed her on t
“Suicide?”Shaun looked down and met Catherine’s eyes. He saw the shock in her eyes.“How did he commit suicide?”“He smashed his head on the wall.” The police said in a low voice, “He used a lot of force. It was clear that he didn’t intend on surviving it. He died on the way to the hospital. I was hoping to get more information out of him, but I guess there would be no leads now.”“Did anyone visit him before his suicide?” Shaun went straight to the point.“Yes, his woman, Joanne Holt.”Shaun fell silent. Many things were becoming clearer to him.“We’re planning to interrogate that woman,” said the policeman.“Okay.”Shaun put down his phone and frowned deeply.Catherine put on her clothes. She did not expect this to happen. “If he dies, the trail that Wesley is involved in the crimes will disappear.”“It’s my fault.” Shaun’s expression was as cold as ice. “I should’ve thought that someone would use unscrupulous methods to threaten Mason with his child.”There was nothing
Catherine was stunned for a moment. When she understood his meaning, she blushed and pinched his waist fiercely. “You pervert.”“Ouch. It hurts. I’ll stop teasing you.” Shaun quickly pressed her into his arms and kissed her little ear. “I’ll tell you some news. I’ve already appointed Elle as the new master of Liona. In the future, you can tell Elle to handle any task you have. After all, Logan and Austin are both injured, and they won’t recover in a short time. I think… Rebecca already knows of your left and right arm. That was why she hurt them as soon as she came back.” Catherine was deeply touched by his arrangement. Logan and Austin’s injuries troubled her, so Shaun’s actions were a solution to her most pressing issue. “I never thought Elle would be the master of Liona. She’s still young, and she’s also a woman…”“So what if she’s a woman? Don’t underestimate women. You’re a woman, but you’re much smarter and more rational than me.” Shaun kissed her cheek. “Elle is young, but h
“Yeah. I didn’t buy any clothes when I came to Canberra, so I thought about buying a few.” Matthew’s blue eyes exuded a charming smile. “We met just in time. Would you mind if I consult you?”Catherine was just about to speak when the clerk came over with a brown suit. “Miss Jones, is this the suit you were talking about?” “Uh… Yes.” Catherine nodded. “Can you help me get one with a bigger size?”“Of course.” The clerk turned and went to change it. Before she left, she secretly sized Matthew up.“Why did she call you Miss Jones?” Matthew blinked in confusion. “Isn’t your last name Yule?”“Sorry, my last name is actually Jones.” Catherine smiled helplessly. “My name is Catherine Jones.”“Carrie… No, Catherine. You’ve gone too far. I told you my real name and thought of you as a friend, but you gave me a fake name.” Matthew had a bitter look on his handsome face.If it were anyone else, Catherine would not bother to explain herself. However, Matthew was different. The familiar an
“Didn’t you say I have a good eye?” Catherine looked confused. “Besides, you have such a good figure, and you’re at a nice age. You don’t have to wear dark colors all the time. Young men should wear bright clothes.”Then, she picked out more than ten outfits in one go.The clothes in this shop were more suitable for people of Matthew’s age. He could wear a white vertical striped shirt with jeans, and he could also wear a sky blue plaid shirt with beige cropped trousers.If she had a younger brother, she would definitely dress him up like this.Matthew watched her in shock. Those clothes were completely different from his usual dressing style.He especially liked black, but Catherine did not pick a single one for him.“Sorry, I seem to have chosen too many. You can just buy…”“All of them.” Matthew took out a black card.Catherine was stunned. She remembered that Shaun had a similar card, and it was not a card available to ordinary people. Moreover, the clothes in this shop were
“I’m on the way back to the villa. What about you? Are you with the children?” Shaun’s hoarse voice came through from the other end.“I’m out eating fondue with a friend.” Catherine rubbed her nose.“Who?” Shaun asked overbearingly, “Freya?”“No, a colleague in the company. You go and accompany the children. I’ll go back once I’m done.” Catherine nodded vaguely. She did not mean to lie. Shaun’s jealousy was just too strong.“What colleague? Male or female?”“Shaun Hill, are you done?” Catherine pretended to be angry and said, “Why are you asking so much? Don’t you trust me?”“Is it that difficult to answer my question of whether it’s a guy or girl?” Shaun asked coldly.“So what if it’s a guy? It’s none of your business. I’m just eating with a friend.” Catherine hung up the phone without a second thought.Opposite her, Matthew looked at her playfully. “I’m your colleague?”Catherine explained awkwardly, “I can’t help it. If my boyfriend finds out that I’m eating with a handsome
“I’m young?” Matthew was stunned. “Not really. When I was 16, my dad left his business to me. I had to study and manage many businesses like banks and hotels.”Catherine looked outside the window.“What are you looking at?” Matthew was puzzled.“I’m looking if there are any cows outside taking a dump.” Catherine joked.Matthew was at a loss for words.He was telling the truth, yet she thought he was bullsh*tting.“You don’t believe me?”“All I know is that when I was 21, I was still dating and worried about love every day. How am I supposed to believe you if you say you’ve been managing so many businesses since you were sixteen?” Catherine shook her head. “People your age are at the peak of your youth. You should be dating, not earning money.”“Do you want to introduce a girl to me?” Matthew suddenly raised his brows.Catherine paused. “You’re too young. I don’t know anyone young and suitable for you. You should go find one yourself.”“But I like older girls like you.” Matthe
After seeing Shaun’s face clearly.Matthew seemed to understand why Catherine said her boyfriend was not inferior to him.He had seen Shaun’s face in the photo brought by his assistant. He was very handsome in the photo, but in person, he looked more noble and elegant.Matthew admitted he was very handsome too, but the age gap was undeniable.The steady and calm temperament on Shaun’s body was also something brewed by years, and was something that Matthew lacked.Shaun’s clear gaze swept over Matthew’s face.A mixed-race young man...Wait, mixed-race.He remembered Rodney saying that Catherine ate supper with a mixed-race young man in Melbourne the previous time. They ate from Melbourne to Canberra?Shaun’s handsome face turned cold immediately with a bitter frost. His sneering gaze fell on Catherine’s guilty and pretty little face. “Your colleague is mixed-raced? He’s very young too, huh?”The sexy trailing voice rose with a chilling hint. People close to him could feel his
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
