“What’s the point of calling the doctor? He can’t help reduce my pain either.” Shaun closed his eyes, and his eyelashes curled upward. He let out a moan weakly.He acted as if he was trying hard to endure the pain. That expression, coupled with his pale handsome face, made Catherine subconsciously clutch his hand. “Is there anything I can do for you?”“Are you going to help me?” He opened his dark eyes.“Yeah.” Catherine nodded seriously.“Uh…” Shaun frowned as if he was thinking it over. Then, he casually said, “Why don’t you give me a kiss so that I’ll be distracted?”“...”Catherine widened her eyes, wondering what kind of solution that was.If it had not been for his weak condition, she would seriously doubt whether that was his intention.“If you’re not willing to do it, it’s fine then.” Shaun turned his face away and continued to moan.“No, no. I’m willing to do it.”He was her savior, after all.Catherine summoned up the courage to approach him. She lowered her head a
Catherine finally figured out why everyone had looked at her in a strange manner just now.A moment later, she walked out sulkily with the water she used to wash up. “It’s all your fault. Look at how my lips are after you kissed me. How am I going to live this down?”After glancing at her, Shaun was inwardly satisfied with what he had done. With a pale face, he moaned weakly. “Sorry. That was very careless of me. My body hurt too badly last night, and it was my fault. Tonight, I’ll try to endure the pain and not trouble you.”Considering how feeble the handsome man looked, Catherine could not bring herself to criticize him at that moment.Fine. She had no choice since it was painful for him.When Hadley and Chase came at 9:00 a.m., they were shocked to see Catherine wearing a mask. “Cathy, why are you wearing a mask?”“The hospital is crowded, so I think it’s safer to wear a mask,” Catherine replied with a stern look. “I heard quite a lot of people have been infected with the flu
“I’m really sorry, Mr. Hill. It was our worker’s mistake. Here’s the compensation for Miss Jones and you.”Catherine blinked at the sight of the check worth 300,000 dollars in her hand. Then she glanced at the check worth 100 million dollars that was with Shaun.Damn, what a huge gap in treatment between them both.Although she was not hurt, she experienced severe trauma and nearly lost her life. She was utterly dejected.What dejected her further was that Shaun simply tossed the check on the bedside table. “Okay. You guys may leave now.” “...”“Mr. Hill, do you mind exchanging business cards with me?” The deputy general manager attempted to seize the opportunity to get acquainted with the big lawyer.“I’m tired. See him off, Catherine.”Shaun closed his eyes impatiently.The deputy general manager, who was hardly treated with disrespect elsewhere, felt rather bitter. He instantly walked out with a long face.Catherine embarrassedly saw him off at the door. “I’m sorry. Mr. H
“Yeah, I’m fortunate to have met you. You’re my lucky star, my savior.” Catherine did not feel like arguing with a patient.As soon as she finished speaking, Wesley sent her a WhatsApp message. [I heard from Joseph that something happened to you when you were working. Are you okay? Can I come and visit you? I’m quite worried.]Catherine sighed deep down. Indeed, Wesley treated her quite well. Sadly, there was already no need for her to take revenge on Ethan. There was no need for her to marry Ethan’s uncle as well.She replied, [Thank you for your concern. I’m fine. The renovation progress of the villa won’t be affected.]Wesley: [The villa project isn’t urgent. What matters most is that you’re safe.]“Who are you chatting with?” Shaun asked glumly.“Freya.” Catherine immediately put down her phone. When she told the lie, she did not blush, nor did her heart race.“I thought you were chatting with Wesley, Ethan, and that bunch of people. You’d better not let me find out that y
“Don’t you get it? I’m in control of your body and life. You have no power over your life anymore.”Without further hesitation, Shaun used the hand that was not injured to carry her from the chair.“Shaun…”“If you’re planning to resist, you’d better shut your mouth,” Shaun warned her with a frown.“No. I wanted to ask you to put me down. I can walk back to my room. Your injuries will get worse if you use your other hand to carry me this way,” Catherine responded. She sighed and surrendered to her fate.Shaun was satisfied with how obedient and understanding Catherine was. After he let go of her, she went to the bedroom with him cooperatively.She initially planned to continue with her work after Shaun fell asleep. However, once she was in bed, she was so sleepy that she became sound asleep.The moment Shaun came out of the bathroom after brushing his teeth, he saw the woman sleeping like a log on the bed. She had fallen into such a deep sleep that even the saliva from the corne
“...”Shaun’s handsome face froze imperceptibly for a moment.“By the way, what were you going to say?” Catherine asked when she remembered.Shaun snorted in a teasing manner. “I wanted to ask why you weren’t choked to death.”Catherine was at a loss for words, wondering why the man was speaking so cruelly. What piqued her curiosity more was what happened last night. Since the villa belonged to him, he was sure to know. “Last night… Do you know who entered the study and used my laptop? Someone finished my sketches for me.”“Oh. I found a friend to complete them for you last night so that you wouldn’t die of cardiac arrest. Otherwise, I’d need to get a new chef.” Shaun sipped on the glass of milk he was holding. He replied so calmly that he appeared to be talking about the weather. “Well, this is an exception. No more next time.”Catherine was absolutely stunned. She remembered that it was almost 12:00 a.m. when she went to bed last night.He actually managed to call someone to h
The initially strange act of kissing had now become familiar to Catherine.Even her body seemed to have adapted to the kiss.However, she felt her heart race even more madly than before. The kiss came with a hint of sweetness as well.Back then, she was often annoyed at how harshly Shaun spoke. Even so, he had actually helped her a lot. The kiss ended with the growling of her stomach.After running out of his arms, Catherine embarrassedly headed to the kitchen to get some food.Looking at her back, Shaun gave a smile....After breakfast, Catherine contacted Mr. Frank to inform him that she was done with the sketches.Mr. Frank replied that he had gone out for work during the day and asked her to come to Linden Clubhouse at night. His leader happened to be there, so they could discuss the designs together. Catherine used to attend these kinds of social activities quite often when she met her clients.Although she did not feel like going, she eventually agreed to do it. A
Those words seemed like a bomb that sounded beside Catherine’s ears. Even so, Catherine found herself unexpectedly calm.The truth finally hit her. It was no wonder Sally treated her more icily and strictly since she was young. Catherine had always assumed that Sally was an inherently unfriendly mother, but when Rebecca returned, she saw the other side of Sally.She had long since suspected that she was an orphan without parents, yet she refused to believe it.The truth turned out to be nastier than she had imagined.Her family actually hated her and had the thought of abandoning her.Hah.“Do you know that you’ve always disgusted me?”Rebecca tapped her pretty little face. “I suffered so much during the abduction, but what about you? You took my place and lived in luxury. Even handsome men like Ethan chased after you…“But now, I’m left with nothing, and I won’t snatch things that belong to you.” It dawned on Catherine that Rebecca was not just a hypocrite and an angelic b
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
