Shaun had just finished speaking when his phone rang.When he took it out to see, Catherine saw the word ‘Grandmother’ on the screen.Shaun went out with the phone. “Grandma, did something happen?”“Can’t I call you if nothing happened? What are you busy with all day long? You haven’t been back to the old residence for several days. Your mother is back, so you can sleep at the manor at night.”Shaun glanced at the bedroom door and refused. “I’m not free.”“You weren’t free for the company meeting, and you weren’t free when Melanie asked you out on a date. What the hell are you doing?” Old Madam Hill said angrily, “You must come back. The whole family will have a meal together.”Shaun sneered, “Is it really just a meal? Or do you want to force me to bring Liam back?”Old Madam Hill sighed. “Shaun, these years, it was because your grandfather and I kept applying pressure that we’ve kept your mother from managing the company’s affairs, letting you and Liam be in the company. Everyo
Soon, news about Liam rushed to the top of the popular search query.Various media-driven topics also appeared online.#LiamHillDisappearance [I heard that Liam Hill was forced to Country F by his own brother.

A week later.Freya accompanied Catherine to a private hospital to get her stitches removed.Chester personally went to the parking lot to meet with the two people. This was the first time Catherine met him, and she had to say that Shaun’s friends all looked like supermodels.Chester wore a white coat and glasses. His figure was tall and he looked gentle. His handsome face was warm and harmless. The spring-like smile on his lips made him look easygoing and approachable, but his thin lips showed that he was a cool and indifferent man.Freya gasped. “Are all doctors these days this hot? He looks like a male model posing in front of a camera for a movie.”“You’re good at joking, Ms. Lynch.” Chester smiled. “Let’s go. I’ve arranged for a doctor to take you there.”“Sorry for the trouble. I can just go by myself.” Catherine felt embarrassed. After all, she was going to the gynecology department because of that kind of matter.Chester shook his head and smiled. “That won’t do. Shaun p
“Okay, call me if you need anything.”Chester turned to leave when Lea’s phone suddenly rang. “What… They’re back? Okay… Okay, we’ll go to the airport right away.”After hanging up the phone, Lea gave a rare smile to Melanie. “Liam and Shaun just arrived at the airport. Let’s go, we’ll drive and pick them up and then come back for the check-up next time.”“Yes, Aunty. I miss Shaun too.” Melanie glanced at Catherine smugly and swiftly left with Lea.Freya gave Catherine a nervous and sympathetic look but saw that her expression was full of calmness. “Let’s go, the elevator is here.”“It looks like I can accompany you again.” Chester followed them in and coughed softly into his fist. “Melanie Yule is just engrossed in her own wishful thinking. Shaun’s heart is with you. We’re basically brothers to him and understand him the most, so don’t overthink it.”“I’m not.” Catherine smiled at him. She was truly relieved. It seemed that Liam was fine.When she came out of the hospital, Frey
“Look at you. You used to be so bold, but you’ve been tortured by him so much you’ve become a little mouse.”Freya was dying of anger. “I’ll tell you the truth. When I asked you to help her with the lawsuit back then, all the words I said were lies. She had nothing to do with it. I did it because if she went to prison, I wouldn’t be able to meet her anymore. She doesn’t know anything at all.”Catherine rubbed her forehead and watched as Shaun’s expression darkened like ink. She stood in front of him. “Freya did it to save me. It has nothing to do with her, so don’t hurt her.”“...”Shaun saw how she was acting like a mother hen protecting her chick, and his heart became annoyed and depressed. Did she see him as a devil now?“Move aside, I’m hungry.”“Huh?”“Did you not hear me? I said I’m hungry.” Shaun grabbed her hand and sat on the bench.The table was full of spicy, grilled, and stir-fried dishes. He frowned. “Why isn’t there any food for me?”She knew that he could not ea
Catherine, “...”Booking out the entire cinema for a movie… As expected of a big shot, or perhaps he just did not want others to see him at the movies with her.Half an hour later, Shaun took her to the movie hall in Northern Sky Mall. The general manager of the cinema personally received them and took them to the VIP couple’s hall.Catherine picked an action movie because a male celebrity she liked was in it. She was supposed to watch it together with Freya.During the movie, Shaun placed her on his chest. Catherine’s back felt uncomfortable after a long time, but Shaun did not notice it. His phone rang twice and she noticed that the first call was from Melanie while the other was from Old Madam Hill.He muted the phone and threw it in his pocket. Bowing his head, he asked her, “You like these kinds of movies?”“I guess.” She actually liked the feeling of watching a movie with many people in the cinema.“I’ll accompany you often whenever I’m free.” Shaun’s fingers squeezed her
“Uncle, Aunty, I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll leave now.” Catherine did not want to stay. She left after greeting them.Lea asked bluntly, “Liam, do you like her?”Liam’s eyes flashed as he bowed his head. “A little, but she has a boyfriend.”Lea was stunned and dissatisfied. “She’s just the illegitimate daughter of the Yule family and isn’t worthy of you. Besides, I saw that she’s acquainted with Chester Jewell as well. You should know very well how flirtatious Chester is.”“Mom, Catherine isn’t that kind of person. Don’t just call her an illegitimate daughter. To put it bluntly, I was also an illegitimate child in the past,” Liam retorted in discontent.“You…” Lea’s chest heaved with anger.“Alright, stop arguing,” Mason said gently, “Didn’t you say Liam should find someone he likes to be his girlfriend so he doesn’t follow in your footsteps?”Lea sighed. “I’m just afraid he’ll be deceived. Shaun is going to marry Melanie. If you get together with the illegitimate daughter o
In the office, Catherine looked at the time. It was 6:00 p.m.She should get ready to go back.At that moment, Shaun suddenly sent her a message. [I won’t be back tonight. Go to sleep early.]It seemed like there was no need to rush back.She picked up the planner again but could not see a word at all.Was he going to accompany Melanie tonight? Was he going back to Hill Manor to discuss the wedding?He was about to get married. If he continued to be entangled with her like this after his marriage, Catherine would really look down on herself for the rest of her life.She had to be strong so she could break away from him soon....In Hill Manor.Shaun got out of the car and saw Melanie holding Old Madam Hill’s arm as they went for a walk in the garden.He frowned and subconsciously wanted to turn away, but Old Madam Hill had noticed him. “Shaun, you’re just in time. Melanie and I are going to the orchard to pick some strawberries, come with us.”“Grandma, I’m tired. I want to
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
