Shaun’s body stiffened. He grabbed her delicate shoulders angrily and asked in a hoarse voice, “Who do you want to rub your stomach?”Wesley Lyons? If so, he would definitely throw her out of the room.“Shaunny, Shaunny…” Catherine pouted in a daze. She remembered that when she got cramps during her time of the month, Shaunny would help rub her stomach.“Catherine Jones, are you sure you’re drunk?” Shaun pinched her little face hard. Was she playing him again?”“It hurts, you meanie.” Catherine drunkenly lifted a foot to kick him gently.Shaun almost got a nosebleed. What rotten thoughts went through Rodney’s mind for him to make her wear this bunny outfit? It was simply torturing him.“Catherine Jones, you can dream on if you want me to help rub your stomach.” Shaun pinched her face until it was red.“Mm… It hurts… Shaunny.” Catherine bit her lip childishly before opening her watery and beautiful eyes.The lump in Shaun’s throat bobbed. A moment later, he cursed under his brea
Where was she?Catherine remembered something had happened to Freya last night. When she rushed over, she met Shaun’s friend who wanted to teach her a lesson. In order to get 10,000 dollars to free herself and Freya, she ended up drinking a lot. Plus, when someone arrived, she seemed to have… kissed him…?Then, she vaguely remembered getting on a helicopter...As expected, her memories were all muddled after drinking too much. Where did the helicopter fly to last night?Did someone sleep with her?Shuddering at the thought, she lifted the blanket to take a look and almost cried when she saw that she was still wearing that bunny outfit. However, it did not seem to have ever been taken off, so that was good.She looked around and saw a wardrobe. She needed something to cover herself with.Just as she got up from the covers, the door suddenly opened.Shaun elegantly walked in while donning a navy blue robe, and Catherine’s whole body froze when she saw him.“Why… are you here?”
“How am I a hoodlum?” Shaun’s hands were propped on either side of her shoulders, with a spiteful gaze.Catherine subconsciously covered her thin lips, and she felt that her face was burning. “Shut up.”“Why? Do you hate me now?” Shaun pulled her hand away and gritted his teeth. “Catherine Jones, I’ve just been away for a while but you couldn’t wait to get engaged to Wesley Lyons. Tell me, does he know that you’re with me now?”“Shaun Hill, that’s enough…”Catherine turned pale. When she remembered her promise to Wesley, she really felt sorry for him.Her distracted look made Shaun completely furious, and he lowered his head to kiss her red lips.He thought he was already disgusted with her, but when her familiar taste enveloped his senses, he only thought that it felt too damn good.Catherine struggled hard, but it was no use. Her hands were being firmly pressed by his, and the man’s strength completely dominated her.Soon, she was left dizzy from his kiss.Since he left, she
“Get out,” Shaun ordered bluntly.Melanie’s eyes reddened as an incredulous look washed over her face. “Eldest Young Master, I’m your girlfriend…”“You can stop being my girlfriend at any time.” Shaun grabbed her wrist and went downstairs.This was the first time he was taking the initiative to touch her, but before she could feel happy about it, she was pushed right out the door. “Melanie Yule, you didn’t knock and randomly entered another person’s home. Didn’t your family teach you any manners?”Melanie choked with sadness. “It’s not that I don’t have manners. It’s because Young Master Hill is hiding a woman at home and doesn’t want me to see her, right?”Shaun’s face turned livid. This stupid woman had crossed his bottom line. “Do I need to explain what I do to you? Know your place.”Then, he finished his sentence and shut the door with a loud bang.Melanie stood outside the door, dumbfounded. She did not understand. Eldest Young Master Hill had spoiled her a lot before. He e
Shaun’s face was cold as he pulled out a key from his pocket and threw it to her. “Take it. You’ll be on call in the future.” Catherine’s face flashed from white to red. “Aren’t you afraid of Melanie seeing me?”“It doesn’t matter if she sees you. She’s just a woman. I can easily replace her with a different Mrs. Hill. There’ll always be smart people who want that position.”Shaun had just finished speaking when the doorbell rang.He opened the door, and Hadley entered with a bag. “Young Master, here are the clothes you wanted me to buy. Also, you have to attend a company meeting at nine.”“Mm.” Shaun threw the things into Catherine’s arms and said, “Go upstairs and change.”Catherine took the items and left to take a shower. By the time she changed her clothes and went downstairs, Shaun had already left. The phone she had left with Rodney yesterday was on the table.When she looked at it, she found that there were text messages and missed calls from Joel and Wesley, but none f
On Tuesday, Joel took her to the old Yule residence.Catherine gave him the gift she had prepared. “I bought it for you the other day when I went to the mall with a friend. It looked good, and I think the fabric feels quite comfortable too.”“My daughter has a good eye. It looks good. I’ll wear it tomorrow.” Joel smiled from ear to ear.“I also bought two sets for Grandpa and Grandma, but I don’t know if they would—”“Don’t worry, they’re not lacking in gifts. It’s the thought that counts,” Joel said with a smile.The old Yule residence was also near Sherman Mountain.The two did not exchange any words on the way there. When they were about to reach the residence, the whirring sound of a helicopter sounded. Catherine wound down the window to take a look, and Joel finally found a topic to talk to his daughter about. “Many nobles here in the capital have private helicopters. The one just now should be the Snow family’s.”“Rodney Snow?” Catherine blurted out. She really did not lik
Old Master Yule nodded in satisfaction. “That’s a good way of thinking. Eldest Young Master Hill is looking for a wife from a good family. Our Yule family doesn’t lack money or jewelry, so don’t be like those women outside who don’t know how to carry themselves.”“That’s right, unlike some people who grin happily and can’t tear their eyes away when they see jewelry.” The aunt gave Catherine a side-glance that was filled with mockery.The crowd laughed softly, and Joel immediately showed his displeasure. He was about to scold them.Just then, Catherine smiled and said, “Yes, I’m really happy to receive such expensive jewelry, but it’s not because I like how much it cost. It’s mainly because it was given to me by Grandma.”She paused, and her beautiful watery eyes suddenly turned red.“On the way here, I was uneasy. I’m different from Melanie and was raised by my grandparents since childhood. Melanie is lively and likable, but I don’t know how to please others. I was raised by my au
Sitting opposite was the second uncle, Damien Yule. He laughed and asked, “Melanie, when are you going to get engaged with Eldest Young Master Hill?”Melanie saw the crowd looking at her enviously and quickly said shyly, “Granny Hill said the wedding will take place this year or next year. We won’t get engaged and will directly get married.”“It seems that Old Madam Hill is really anxious.” The aunt smiled. “We’ll soon have to call you Mrs. Hill.”Old Master Yule nodded in satisfaction. “Hold on to Eldest Young Master Hill well. The Yule family will depend on you in the future.”Melanie was overjoyed. “Grandpa, I won’t let you down.”Looking at all the people complimenting Melanie, Catherine did not feel uncomfortable. She faintly glanced at Damien opposite her. The man was sitting in a wheelchair, giving people a very gloomy feeling.“By the way, Joel, you promised to give my brother that plot of land along the coast before. Why did I hear that you suddenly talked to the departm
