Shaun clenched his fists. The veins on the back of his hand bulged out. “Catherine Jones, get this straight. I’m a lawyer. Lawyers only win or lose. I’m not some messenger of justice.”“But a person can’t live without a conscience.” Catherine shook her head. She suddenly realized that she and Shaun seemed to be from completely different worlds.“I’ve done so many things for you, yet you say I have no conscience?”Shaun glared at her angrily. He had never treated a woman so well before, but she vetoed everything in one sentence. “Is it because Wesley gave his life to save you, so you want to be together with him? That’s right, he has always been trailing after you.”“Stop talking nonsense.” Catherine became angry. “He lost a kidney because of me. Can’t I even stay and take care of him? This is the least I can do for him after he saved my life.”“I don’t care. Come with me right away. Wesley Lyons isn’t as simple as you think he is.” Shaun did not care at all. Wesley was the one who
“Catherine Jones, if you really love me, don’t go to Wesley Lyons ever again. This is the last chance I’m giving you.”Shaun looked at her deeply, his voice sounding dark and hoarse.Catherine was stunned. Although she hated him today and was angry at him, her heart still loved him. “What about you? Do you love me?”If he did, why did he call out another woman’s name when he was drunk?“I can love you, and I can stop loving you at any time.”Shaun said expressionlessly before turning to leave.Catherine sat on the bed, a little bewildered. It turned out that his love could be taken back at any time. Was it because he did not love her enough?...In the study, Shaun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a glass of red wine, looking out the window at the snow on the ground.He hoped that Catherine would not let him down.Yes, although he loved her, if she wanted to continue getting involved with Wesley Lyons, then he could only give up that love.Although Wesley h
Catherine could not believe it. Shaun had never checked her phone before, but he refused to give her this last bit of privacy now. “Shaun Hill, don’t go too far.”“Too far? How would I know if you’d contact Ethan Lowe or Wesley Lyons behind my back?” Shaun never liked men who insisted on checking their woman’s phone, but when he saw the smile on Catherine’s lips earlier, his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable. He had to be sure.Catherine never thought that the trust between them had fallen so low. However, he might misunderstand again if he saw the contents on her phone, so she simply said frankly, “I was chatting with Freya. She was talking about her boyfriend. Also… she’ll go to the hospital to see Wesley. I can’t go myself, but can’t my friends go on my behalf…?”She watched helplessly as Shaun’s handsome face turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her heart suddenly felt tired.“Catherine Jones, are you that hung up on Wesley Lyons? It’s my bed you’re sleeping on now.
“Young Master Hill, your breakfast is here.” Aunty Linda came out with the breakfast she made.Shaun looked at it, and his face instantly became displeased. “Catherine Jones, you didn’t make breakfast for me.”“You were the one who said my cooking is as dirty as I am.” Catherine faced him calmly. He was always like this. When he misunderstood her, he humiliated her for making him breakfast, but then now he wanted her to cook again. Did he not get tired?“Make it for me right now.” Shaun’s face was completely dark.“No. I didn’t sell my body to you.” Catherine stood up after finishing her oatmeal. “I’m going to work.”Shaun turned and spoke to Elle who was standing at the door. “Follow her closely. If she dares to go to the hospital, knock her out and bring her back here.”“I’m not your slave.” Catherine’s eyes grew red with anger. She had already decided not to go to the hospital, but he still insisted on forcing her using these kinds of methods. “Shaun Hill, don’t go too far.”
“I’m having a meeting at the company which might go on until 5:30. I’ll drive there directly later. Help me apologize to your parents for me,” Patrick said in a soft tone.“It’s okay, but you can’t be late. My dad hates people who don’t keep their word.”“Don’t worry, it’s a matter of my life. I definitely won’t be late. I’ve already prepared a gift that your parents will like. We’ll book our marriage early, and I’ll marry you.” Patrick smiled sincerely.Freya’s heart felt sweet as she listened to him.After hanging up, she drove to pick up her parents and then went to Jadeite Restaurant.It was exactly 5:30 p.m. when she arrived. After she ordered the food, her elder brother Forrest arrived.At 6:00 p.m., Patrick still had not shown up. Freya’s dad got a little impatient, saying, “Why isn’t he here yet? It’s not right to make us elders wait for him.”Freya said, “Dad, it’s rush hour now. There’s probably heavy traffic on the road.”Her mother nodded and agreed. “The company ha
“Are you done?” Patrick became angry.“She’s completely fine, isn’t she?” Freya understood everything now. “Patrick, I’m serious. Don’t come back to me in the future. We’re breaking up.”“That’s enough. You should know which lines you shouldn’t cross.”“It’s over. You’ll always only have Linda in your eyes. Yes, you can go to Linda’s side if she has gotten into an accident, but you can’t just completely leave my family behind. You didn’t even call me. Today was an important day for us, but you don’t care at all. In the future, I won’t have any more expectations of you, and I won’t hope for anything as well. I hope we never meet again.”Freya hung up the phone and buried her face, crying bitterly.After crying, she deleted Patrick’s and Linda’s contact information.She was too tired of being tormented by these two people. In the future, there would be no expectation, no hope, and no pain.At that moment, she wanted to find someone to drink and talk to.She wanted to call Catheri
“I curse you to be a mossback turtle in your next life.”Chase snapped. “Freya Lynch, look closely. I’m Chase Harrison.”“Who’s Chase Harrison?” Freya tilted her head. “I’ve never heard of him. Are you trying to kidnap me because I’m so beautiful?”Chase was speechless and pointed to the front. “Do you know Shaun Hill? He’s the boyfriend of your best friend, Catherine Jones.”Freya looked at him in a daze, and her eyes suddenly lit up. “Oh, it’s the uncle. Hello, Uncle.”Shaun rubbed his eyebrows. Freya was calling him nonsense while drunk again.However, Chase snickered. “You’ve got it wrong. He’s not your uncle.”“I’m not wrong. He’s Uncle.” Freya waved her hand. “I’m never wrong. He’s that scumbag Ethan Lowe’s uncle. Cathy and I had our eyes on you the moment we saw you at the bar.”Shaun frowned and asked in a low voice, “Why did you have your eyes on me?”“To hook up with you, of course. If Cathy could become Ethan’s aunt, wouldn’t that anger him to death? It could also c
Suddenly, the lights came on.Then, the blanket on her body was pulled off. The man’s cold voice sounded from above her. “Get up.”“Shaun Hill? What are you up to now?” Catherine sat up tiredly and looked at him. She froze. The man’s eyes were bloodshot, making him look terrifyingly cold.Shaun looked at her innocent face. He could still remember clearly the first time he met her, as well as every word and every subtle expression she made. “Let me ask you. Why did you seduce me in the bar?”“Why are you suddenly asking that?” Catherine avoided his eyes, not wanting to answer the question.However, Shaun did not let her hide and grabbed her chin. His cold eyes locked onto hers. “Was it because you mistook me for Ethan Lowe’s uncle?”A buzz seemed to ring in her brain as if she was struck by lightning.“...”Catherine’s mind was at a loss. How did Shaun find out about that?Shaun stared at her and clearly saw all the changes in her expression. Her face grew pale. There was panic
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
