Catherine was speechless. “Suzie, as I said, it was very dangerous. Have you forgotten that you nearly lost your life when you were kidnapped previously?”Suzie went silent, but she still thought that it was a missed opportunity. Catherine was at a loss for words. “Lucas, it’s fine that you ate the food but why did you have to tell her about it?”Lucas responded honestly, “I just wanted to let her know that all the things she ate previously are trash compared to the yummy food tonight.”“...”His words came as a real blow to Suzie. She was so indignant that she broke into tears.Feeling speechless, Shaun promptly carried her and said, “Don’t cry. The chef who prepared the food tonight was hired from overseas. He should still be around. I can ask him to cook for you tomorrow.”“Really?” Suzie was extremely touched.“Yes.” Shaun nodded. “But you can’t eat too much.”“Mm.” Suzie sniffed. “I’ll just try the food. You’re wonderful!”Catherine was completely at a loss for words.
“It was because I saved Matthew and told Sheryl the truth. Sheryl canceled the transfer of Hill Corporation’s shares in time and halted Golden Corporation’s overseas development. Gavin was confident only because he had invested in Golden Corporation and got endless funds from Wesley. After Wesley lost Golden Corporation and Hill Corporation, he was left with nothing. As such, Gavin no longer had as many funds. Those people in Canberra were swayed because of money. Without money, how could they possibly side with the Mead family?”Catherine finally understood.She could not help but sigh at how greedy some people in this world were.At the same time, she was taken aback by Shaun’s plans.After all, he had lost his memory, had he not? Before this, he was just like a fool. What a rapid change it was.She stared at him with complicated feelings. “Wasn’t Wesley aware that Matthew was saved and about the changes that took place in Golden Corporation’s overseas development?”“It was all
Catherine gazed at Shaun with a complex look as her eyelashes fluttered.The man in front of her was as handsome as ever, but he had become more hostile compared to before.Her mind was in a messy state right now.“Shaun, I remember that you previously told me—”“You told me that I hadn’t interacted with any women nor did I know about love because I lost my memory. You felt that I was reliant on you.” Shaun interrupted her, “You’re right, and I did give it a shot. But when Hannah approached me, I just found her disgusting…”“It was because you approached her with an ulterior motive. Plus, you already knew from the start that she’s evil…”“But when she touched me, I had no feelings for her at all.” Shaun’s eyes were intent and burning. “Yet I have feelings for you even when I touch you a little.”He was too straightforward.Catherine’s face instantly turned crimson. Shaun fixed his gaze on her charming face under the moonlight. Earlier, he had been feigning indifference and
Catherine froze for an instant. Then, she brought Joel into the house.Shaun stood there nonchalantly for a while before he turned around and left.…When Catherine glanced out of the villa’s window, Shaun’s figure was already out of sight.She spaced out momentarily until Joel’s voice sounded in her ears. “To be frank, Shaun is really brilliant. I didn’t expect him to be able to turn things around by getting rid of Wesley and Hannah when things were already so dire. Among the youths, he’s probably the only one whom I truly admire.“Although I admire him, it doesn’t mean that I hope the two of you will get back together, Cathy. You went through so much and faced a lot of suffering before this. As your father, I just hope that you can live a peaceful life with the kids. Ever since you got together with Shaun, I noticed that you’ve experienced more hardships than joy. I hope that your partner will protect and support you instead of assisting you for a short while and leaving you alo
The feeling was so wonderful that Catherine had trouble falling asleep.She only fell asleep when it was 3:00 a.m.However, she was awoken by the kids the next day.She opened her eyes in a daze, only to find a tall, attractive figure in her room. Dressed in a white T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans, the man seemed to be at the peak of his youth, looking like he was still 20 years old. One would find it hard to resist his charm and elegance. After staring at him in confusion for a while, she rubbed her eyes, thinking that she might not be awake.Somehow, she still saw the scene of Shaun combing Suzie’s hair in her bedroom.It was very rare to see Suzie seated on the chair so obediently. While holding a comb, Shaun bent over and braided her hair carefully.“Not bad. You can braid better than Mommy.” Suzie looked into the mirror and was satisfied with the braid. “Please put on a pink hairband for me.”“Alright, princess.”Shaun felt as though he had turned into a barber. Suddenl
“I’m not meddling in your business. I’m just asking.”Shaun turned his head and continued braiding Suzie’s hair.Suzie was not stupid. She simply pretended as if she did not hear or see anything. Anyway, no matter who Mom decided to be with, the fact that Shaun was her dad could not be erased.It was better to take the opportunity to enslave this dad of hers.“It looks nice, right? Our Suzie will definitely be the prettiest little princess when you go to preschool today.” Shaun flattered Suzie while smiling. That put Suzie in a pleasant mood.After that, Shaun helped Suzie to change her clothes as well.He brought the two children downstairs to have breakfast.It was a rare morning when Catherine did not have to take care of the two children. After staring into space for a moment, she simply lay on the bed and continued sleeping.After all, Shaun was taking care of the kids. Why did she have to work tirelessly every day when she could make use of the children’s biological fathe
Catherine was amazed. She had to acknowledge the netizens’ strength in obtaining information. Not many people knew that she was Sheryl’s daughter. It was unknown how that information was leaked.She was even on the trending searches, and there were rumors that she would be one of the top five wealthiest people among those born with a silver spoon in their mouths.It was totally ridiculous.Catherine had no intention of acknowledging Sheryl as her mother, not to mention inheriting her assets. Those people must be bored out of their minds.She was starting to feel hungry. She got up, changed into casual clothes, and went downstairs. The housekeeper, Aunty Cally, was watering the flowers on the balcony.“Aunty Cally, is there still breakfast? I’m a little hungry.”Catherine asked while rubbing her eyes.“Breakfast? There is, but it’s all cold and it’s almost time for lunch…” Aunty Cally’s gaze was slightly strange.“It’s okay. I’ll just have something simple to eat.”Catherine
Catherine’s feelings were complicated. “Shaun, didn’t my dad tell you yesterday? He doesn’t wish for us to be together…” “He did, but it’s not your dad that I want to be with anyway. His words can’t affect me at all. Moreover, he has already gone to the company. The negative news regarding the fire that broke out at the company has affected his company greatly. He has no time to care about me at all. I reckon he has to work extra hours until late at night these days.”Shaun was confident.Catherine touched her forehead. He really did know how to take advantage of the situation. However, it was true that Joel might not have the time to care about Shaun now.“But I already told you last time—”“You indeed said it clearly enough. It’s precisely because it’s too clear that I’ve come to understand my thoughts.” Shaun bent over and went near her ear. He whispered, “I’ve already approached other women but I realize that you’re the only one that I want to have sex with. What is love if t
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
