“Don’t worry, I won’t think too much about it. I’m in no state to think about anything else besides my dad now,” Catherine cut him off nonchalantly.He was not aware that she had known about Sarah’s existence since long ago.She also understood that Sarah was deeply engraved in his heart.That was why she would not feel uncomfortable.She was over that period of discomfort already.There was no use in trying to make her feel repulsed over that matter as well.The dead could not fight against the living anyways.“...Okay, that’s good then.” Despite saying this, Shaun’s heart still sank unknowingly.He was afraid that she would misunderstand or overthink things. However, he felt uncomfortable seeing her express no concern at all.After all, the reason she would not overthink things might be because she did not love him enough.He stared at her.The annoyance in his heart was resurfacing.He went out and smoked two cigarettes.He came back half an hour later. Catherine was fe
“I’m just curious. Is it possible to hold the urge if he doesn’t get married when he’s this old already?”Shaun raised his eyebrows and threw Catherine an ambiguous glance. “Of course, it’s possible. I was always alone before I met you.”“...Then what the hell was your ex-girlfriend?” She could not hold it in anymore. Some words might not be spoken aloud, but she should not be treated as a fool.Shaun’s expression changed drastically. After quite a while, he spoke with mixed feelings, “I…”However, Catherine did not want to listen to him continue. She switched the topic, saying, “If a man doesn’t get married, it’s either he’s incapable of sex, or he has someone in his heart. I think he might be in love with Nicola.”Shaun said, “...No way.”“You don’t believe me?” Catherine frowned. “A woman’s instinct is very accurate. I read psychological books in the past. For those who have been disabled since young, some of them are positive and happy, while some of them develop a dark perso
“...”Was this supposed to be normal? The topic jumped from one to another too fast.If it were back then in Melbourne, Catherine would have answered that she loved him without hesitation. However, now…Her short hesitation made Shaun’s heart sink. “Is it so hard to answer this question?”“Hubby, you should go to work now.” Catherine pushed him away and went upstairs.Shaun watched as she left, and his gaze became gloomy.He was not that stupid that he could not sense how she had simply said those words.After arriving at the company.He searched the web irritatedly: [Why women don’t get jealous?]Answer 1: [This woman is independent. She is rational and restrains herself even if she’s dating.]Answer 2: [This woman has a strong heart. She has complete trust in her other half and gives her full understanding to him.]Answer 3: [She doesn’t love you enough.]“...”What the hell was the third answer?He smashed the cup he was holding on the spot.Hadley, who heard the comm
For the first time, Patrick had a feeling that he could not get her.“Alright, looks like you met Patrick already.” On the other side of the phone, Catherine laughed bitterly. “He came and looked for me yesterday. You guys should talk.”“...Okay.” Freya gradually calmed down. She raised her head and looked at her ex-boyfriend.“Freya, why didn’t you tell me that you came to Canberra to work?” Patrick smiled at her bitterly. “You blocked all my phone calls and WhatsApp messages. Are you still angry even after making a fuss for so long?”“Making a fuss?” Freya’s heart grew cold. After all this time, he still thought that she was just throwing a tantrum as usual and that it would pass as long as he coaxed her?“Fine, I admit that I was in the wrong that time. I’ve reflected on my mistakes. But it has been so long since that incident, so don’t be mad anymore. When we go back, I’ll meet your parents at their house to apologize. We can get married immediately.” Patrick held her hand.H
Freya was in the middle of her rage when she heard the familiar voice of a man.She turned back and saw Rodney, that showy guy, walking toward her with a smug expression.“Babe, you said that you only loved me last night, and today you’re caught up with another guy. Are you toying with me?” Rodney’s ambiguous words almost made Freya have goosebumps all over.“Who is he? What is your relationship with him?” Patrick’s handsome face darkened when he saw the guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.Men were wary animals. If Rodney were incomparable to him in every aspect, he would not have cared at all. However, Rodney was good-looking and had elegant mannerisms. His whole body exuded an unrestrained, intimidating aura. He was surely not an ordinary person.Freya rolled her eyes. She hooked her arm around Rodney’s arm all of a sudden and said, “I forgot to tell you. I already have a new boyfriend, and it’s him.”Rodney’s body stiffened. Why was the situation different from what he e
The woman who kissed him earlier was wiping her face and mouth vigorously as if she had kissed something dirty.“Freya Lynch…” Rodney was deeply infuriated.“Do you need some tissues?” Freya took a piece of tissue and passed it to him. Her deep eyes were still glistening with tears, just like an innocent kitten.Rodney took the piece of tissue annoyedly and wiped his mouth forcefully. “So dirty.”“I think so too.” Freya nodded as she felt the same way. “Kissing a stranger who I don’t love is so uncomfortable.”“...”Could she not sense that he was trying to humiliate her?Rodney felt that his anger was being ignored, and his heart was almost in pain from being angry. “What are you crying for? You’re reluctant to leave that guy, yet you humiliated him. Don’t you think that you’re pretentious?”“You certainly don’t have a girlfriend,” Freya suddenly said, “You were so unskilful at that kiss just now. It can’t possibly be your first kiss, right?”“Bullsh*t…”Rodney was deeply em
“I make four servings every time, and Shaun finishes all of it.” Catherine took some more broccoli out from the fridge. Aunty Yasmine was curious. “Could this be the power of love? I watched Eldest Young Master Hill grow up. His appetite has never been good. It's as though he doesn’t like to eat anything at all and it was good enough even if he just ate a bowl of rice.”“...”To be honest, if Catherine had not spent time with Shaun in Canberra, she would never believe Aunty Yasmine's words. Now that she thought about it, he had certainly enjoyed her cooking back in Melbourne. It was just that he never spoke his mind and commented that her cooking was only so-so. It was so pretentious of him. However, there was someone who liked the food she made. That made her more enthusiastic about cooking.“Later, you'll find out just how big his appetite is.” Catherine started slicing the pork. Cooking roast pork required a lot of time. While she was waiting, she read some news on he
Catherine rushed upstairs and discovered a few bottles of medications from the drawer in the study.She searched the names up on the phone, and two of the medications were mood stabilizers and antipsychotics.That news… It was true?He previously wanted to kill the nanny who took care of him, and now, he had even hurt her. Later on, would he be thinking of…She felt chills going down her spine and did not dare to go downstairs.“Young Madam, Eldest Young Master Hill hasn’t returned. Do you want to call him?” Aunty Yasmine appeared at the door. She saw the medications Catherine was holding, and her expression froze. “These medications…”“Aunty Yasmine, you said you watched Shaun grow up. Then you should know… that he’s mentally ill, right?” Catherine’s face was pale, and her lips were trembling.Aunty Yasmine was at a loss. She wiped her hands on her apron. “Where did you hear it? This is impossible…”“It’s all over the internet.” Catherine showed her the pictures. “Aunty Yasmin
