Catherine could totally relate to that.Some men were indeed scummy.โSoโฆ Charity, are you planning to take revenge for Eliza?โ Catherine asked.Charity nodded. โI plan to stand up for Eliza.โโNo wonder you suddenly showed up at the charity event organized by the Patterson family in the hotel a few days ago.โ Freyaโs interest was piqued. โCould you be planning to beat them at their own game?โโWhat do you think?โ In fact, Charity could not make up her mind.However, Freya rolled her eyes at Catherine. โCathy is very experienced in this aspect. Back then, she used such a method to take revenge on Shaun with the hopes of making him fall deeply in love with her. After that, she tried to destroy Shaun and Sarahโs relationship. In the end, she hurt herself, whereas Shaun slipped away and married Sarah. Hah.โEmbarrassed, Catherine could not bear to recall it. โMy case was different as I had feelings for Shaun. When I wanted to take revenge on him, I could not endure it. But itโs dif
โNo wonder Ferra Film Group has been so powerful lately.โ Freya suddenly felt discouraged. โI thought Freycatheli has been doing well, but compared to you both, it turns out Iโm doing the worst.โ โWhy do you think so?โ Charity laughed and then teased, โPerhaps youโll be the prime ministerโs wife in the future.โโExactly.โ Catherine agreed. โYou found someone with great potential, and you should treasure him.โโForget it. Iโm not interested in being the prime ministerโs wife. Itโs too exhausting. Iโd much prefer eating and having fun with my buddies.โAfter that, Freya slammed her hands on the table. โShouldnโt we drink to celebrate the rebirth of our best friend?โโWe can drink, but donโt you get drunk and expose my identity,โ Charity reminded.โI got it.โ Freya quickly zipped her mouth. โThis matter will stay among the three of usโฆโโActually, someone else knows about itโฆโโWho?โ Freya and Catherine asked simultaneously.โMax.โ With that, an affectionate look suddenly appear
โAlright. Letโs eat.โ Charity changed the topic. โI heard the dishes here are good.โโFine. If we continue the conversation, Charity will be embarrassed,โ Catherine mocked.โCharity, youโre an actor, yet you get embarrassed so easily.โThe three of them chatted and joked. It had been a long time since they had such a good time.In fact, Charityโs death had always hit a nerve in Catherine and Freya. Every time they recalled those memories, they would feel very helpless.โTo celebrate the fact that Charity is still alive, letโs go for karaoke later.โ Freya said while beaming, โItโll be my treat.โโPlease donโt. Both of you need to go home and spend time with your children.โ Charity did not want to be a thorn in Shaunโs and Ryanโs sides.โCharity, we want to keep you company.โ Catherine said while holding a wine glass, โYouโve been lonely for a long time.โThat simple sentence made the usually tough Charity almost tear up.โฆAfter they finished their meals, they walked out of th
โLizzie, these two are yourโฆโ Monteโs eyes settled on Catherine and Freya with a confused look on his face. He was pretending that it was his first time meeting them.โThese are my friends, Catherine and Freya.โ Charity pretended as if she did not see through him and made a simple introduction.Before Monte could speak, the few wealthy young men behind him walked forward.โSo youโre Miss Jones and Miss Lynch. Both your reputations precede you.โ Hugo said with a particularly enthusiastic smile, โIโve heard about how beautiful both you ladies are, but now that Iโve finally met you in person, youโre much more beautiful than I imagined. By the way, I have yet to introduce myself. Iโm Hugo Jeffs from Dolly Corporation in Newcastle.โโDolly Corporation?โ Catherine thought about it and was a little surprised. โAre you the Young Master Jeffs who owns the most luxurious hotel, Doyle Hotel, in Newcastle?โโThatโs right.โ Hugo nodded pridefully. โI didnโt expect you to have heard about me, M
Charityโs eyes moved slightly. โSince you canโt get over me, why werenโt you worried when I committed suicide? You even came to tell me that I was too desperate and that I was no different from other women. You told me to stay far away from you if I wanted to kill myself and not to bother you because you wouldnโt go soft-hearted.โMonte was so ashamed that he wished he could slap his old self. โLizzie, I thought you were pretending to kill yourself at that time. Iโm sorry. I made those nasty remarks so that you would give up on me because getting my family to approve of us being together was too difficult. Furthermoreโฆ youโre so wonderful that I didnโt think I deserved you.โโWhy do you think you deserve me now?โ Charity asked in surprise.Monte promptly held her hand and said fondly, โLizzie, I canโt get over you, and that is the truth. Do you remember how happy we were when we were together?โโYoung Master Patterson, I heard you have a fiancรฉe. I donโt think itโs appropriate for
โMy boyfriend is here to pick us up, so weโll take our leave now.โ Freya rose to her feet and bade everyone goodbye.โAlright. Weโll see you off downstairs.โ A gleam flashed across Hugoโs eyes, and he promptly got up.Come on. Freyaโs boyfriend was the prime ministerโs son. If Hugo managed to get acquainted with him in Canberra or get his contact number, he would feel honored when he returned to Newcastle. โNo needโฆโ Catherine turned him down.โLet me do it. Iโm worried youโll bump into some drunkards in the clubhouse.โMonte showed his utmost care by seeing them off downstairs.Ryan and Max were leaning against an Audi downstairs. One looked handsome and elegant, whereas the other seemed cold and sharp. The two of them were chatting with their arms folded across their chests, and the scene was a feast for the eyes.Charity and the rest were all stunned for a moment.They never thought that Max would be here as well.However, before the three of them could greet him, Hugo had
โIf she can continue to bring me benefits, I might consider marrying her. But if I marry her, Iโll definitely become a laughing stock because of her affair with Chester. My family wonโt approve of it for sure.โMonte let out a deep sigh. โThis is not easy, but if sheโs willing to be with me, Iโll certainly support her forever. It wonโt be the same as before. If she wants a child, Iโm willing to give her one. My parents will definitely accept the child if it is part of the Patterson family.โHugo nodded in agreement. โIndeed. In fact, Eliza is smart. Having a woman like her as a wife will help a man a lot. Nevertheless, even if she won the case involving her affair with Chester, no decent man would want to marry her.โโExactly. Perhaps I shouldnโt have broken up with her. Then, her affair with Chester wouldnโt have happened. Eliza treated me quite well back then. Among the many girlfriends Iโve had, sheโs the only one who would save me from spending and even buy me gifts.โAt the me
Charity laughed. โWell, youโll be wearing your uniform most of the time, so thereโs no need to waste money on that. Seriously, just save the money.โโNo way. I want to buy it.โ Max tapped the steering wheel and scoffed. โIf I donโt dress up, Iโll probably never be able to get a girlfriend.โAfter pausing for a few seconds, he glanced at Charity strangely. โIs it because you donโt want to go shopping with me? Or are you not grateful for my help? Just be frank. Then, Iโll tell Ryan tomorrow that Iโm not interested in you and have him introduce a potential partner to you.โโ...Enough.โ Charity snapped, feeling helpless. Were Ryan and the rest too bored? The women were busy with their careers, yet the men just wanted to keep their women company.โSo do you agree on going shopping?โ Max winked and smirked.Charity held her head in her hand. โFine, fine. You can decide on the time.โโOkay, tomorrow it is. Coincidentally, tomorrow is my day off,โ said Max.Just as Charity was about to
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. โI didnโt expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. Iโm old.โLooking at Charityโs pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. โIf youโre considered old, Iโm even older.โโFor men, the older, the more charming,โ Charity said.โReally?โ Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. โDo you think Iโm charming?โCharity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. โNot in the slightest.โChester was exasperated. โEven if Iโm not, I wonโt allow you to escape my clutches.โAs 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.โGo away. You may kiss your girlโฆโCharity
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, โDo you want me to toss the bouquet to you?โ โNo.โCharity 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.โAlright. Although you donโt want it, it doesnโt mean he feels the same.โ 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?โWhat gives? Could he have done it with you?โ As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.โYouโre overthinking it.โCatherine said with a discreet smile, โEven if thereโs something wrong with that part of his, he couldโve done it if he wanted to.โโWow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.โ Freya chuckled. โCharity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.โHowever, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. โShaun 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.โ After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, โIt doesnโt matter to me. Iโll let nature take its
โYou havenโt answered my question.โ Charity asked in annoyance, โWhy were you in a hurry to get away from me?โ A miserable look washed over Chesterโs face. โIf I hadnโt done that, Iโm afraid I wouldnโt have been able to get hold of myself.โCharity looked down at the lower part of Chesterโs body. โIs it becauseโฆ you canโt control it anymore?โHer directness caused Chesterโs face to turn grim. โCharity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine canโt function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.โOnce 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.โCharity, next time, can Iโฆโ Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. โKiss you?โCharityโs 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. โCharity, itโs about time to wake up. Youโre going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.โWhile 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.โAre you planning to lie in?โAs it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. โLet me help you get changed.โBy the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaidโs outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. โWhy 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 Chesterโs deep, gentle voice. โCharity, wake upโฆโShe opened her eyes to see Chesterโs face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. โHow did I fall asleep?โHer hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her bodyโs 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. โWho allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.โโI called you, but you didnโt hear me.โChester lied without flinching. โI came in because I was worried something happened to you. Youโve been in
โI should be the one asking you why youโre in my room,โ Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.โ...โCharity 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. โAre you afraid that Iโll eat you up?โโYou think you can do that, huh?โ Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. โCan you do it now?โChesterโs 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.โSince you know I canโt do that, what are you afraid of?โ Chester gripped her waist. โCharity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you donโt stay here, you have nowhere else to go.โCharity stomped on his foot. โDid y
โSuspect that the child is yours?โ 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. โAs 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 hasnโt noticed it?โChester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. โDo you meanโฆโโPerhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasnโt exposed it.โ Shaun said indifferently, โI 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?โChester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. โMaybe she didnโt guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, โWhatโs wrong?โ โYour husband is bullying me.โ Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. โMove your paw off my wife,โ Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherineโs presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. โWhat are you doing?โCatherine glared at her husband. โChase and I are friends. Weโre besties. Whatโs with your attitude?โโThatโs right.โ Chase straightened his back with Catherineโs support. โI 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. Iโm so much better than you guys, yet I still donโt have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?โโIs he angry because of that?โ Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. โWas I wrong?โ Catherine threw the bag o
