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
