When Catherine went downstairs to get some water, she suddenly recalled the incident of Shaun’s nanny locking him up in the closet when he was young…The cup in her hand dropped to the floor.She rushed upstairs and opened the closet.Shaun’s body was curled up into a ball, and his head was buried in his knees. He was trembling like a frightened puppy.“Shaun, come out.” Catherine tried to pull him out but failed.“So cold… Don’t hit me…” Shaun was covering his ears with all his might.She did not want to feel sorry for him, but her heart failed her and twisted in pain at that moment.“I’m not going to hit you. Don’t sleep inside. Let’s go back to bed. It’ll be okay.” Catherine hugged him and patted the back of his head repeatedly. When his body stopped trembling, she helped him to the bed and covered him with the blanket.However, the man was grabbing her hand tightly. She could not let go at all.Catherine tried to get her hand out a few times but failed. Finally, she had
Seeing the breakfast Shaun prepared for her earlier made her hungry.She drove to a breakfast cafe. She heard from Freya that the food at the cafe here was not bad. However, just as she started eating after ordering her breakfast, Melanie and Charlie walked into the cafe holding hands.The cafe manager followed them both attentively. “Young Master Campos, Ms. Yule, both of you came early. There are still seats available. Where would you like to sit?”Melanie took a look around and set her gaze on Catherine. Her eyes brightened. She pulled Charlie and walked over immediately.“Oh, isn’t this the wife of Eldest Young Master Hill? Why are you eating breakfast here alone? Where is Eldest Young Master Hill who loves you so deeply?” Melanie looked around.Catherine frowned.She was having a good breakfast, but they were being so busy that she was getting annoyed now.The cafe manager panicked. “Young Madam Hill, for the poor hospitality, I—”“It’s okay, Mr. Cameron.” Charlie gave a
“You’re concerned about Shaun?” Charlie grabbed her hand and played with it. “You can’t possibly still care for him right?”“Of course not. There’s only you in my heart now.” Melanie lowered her gaze and smiled. “I’m just curious.”Charlie replied in the affirmative.Not only that, Shaun’s illness had worsened. He even fainted a few days ago and was sent to the hospital in a hurry.That person was truly amazing.After Catherine left, someone in a black car by the road called Shaun immediately.“...Young Madam met Charlie Campos and Melanie Yule. They took her seat away from her.”In front of the full-length window, Shaun plucked a leaf from the windowsill. “It’s time to punish these two people. Give them a grand present. As for that cafe, there’s no reason for it to operate anymore.”...At the cafe.Charlie and Melanie were only halfway through their breakfast.A group of officers from the Health Protection Service seized the restaurant. “Someone reported that they had a st
General Manager Wolfe had a regretful expression after he came out of the office.He had thought Hudson Corporation’s position would skyrocket after having the backing of Eldest Young Master Hill. It was unfortunate.The atmosphere in the company was down the whole morning.Even the employees at the reception desk were not excluded.When it was nearly 12 p.m., a handsome, slender figure came walking from the entrance. At first glance, it was as if a top-tier celebrity had appeared. However, upon a closer look, that perfect, refined outline made the employees at the reception desk shudder.They were looking right at the face that made Australia’s women swoon in front of the television too many times. “Eldest… Eldest Young Master Hill…”‘F*ck, why does Eldest Young Master Hill now have choppy bangs? He’s utterly handsome.‘Why is Eldest Young Master Hill here? He can’t possibly be getting a divorce with our president, right? ‘Oh my gosh, no.’“Eldest Young Master Hill, you’re
Catherine remained silent for a moment. Then, she said, “You had a chef make all this for you, right?”“No, I spent the whole morning making lunch for you at home,” Shaun said, “You were the one who was trying to please me in Melbourne. Now, it’s my turn to woo you.”Catherine mocked, “Eldest Young Master Hill, you’re indeed skillful at pleasing women. It seems that you had also put in a lot of effort when you went after Sarah in the past.”“Whether you believe it or not, I’ve only cooked for you before.” Shaun handed her a fork. “Eat up.”“I’m not eating.” Catherine lost her temper. Why did she have to eat when he told her to?“Cathy, you’re not being rational. Don’t you have an ex-boyfriend too?”“Fine, I’ll get a guy who looks similar to Ethan to take care of me by my side. Is that okay?”Catherine glanced up at him. Sure enough, she saw the dissatisfaction in his eyes and laughed. “See, when have you ever put yourself in my shoes to think about the situation?”“I’m sorry,”
Shauncierely Yours…She burped out of shock.“Did you receive it? That’s my new Whatsapp name.” Shaun glanced at her.“What are you trying to pull here?” Catherine was in a blur.“I’m copying you.”“...”Catherine recalled that when she was trying to flirt with him in the past, she had even set her Whatsapp name as ‘Shaunerine’.She had been calm about it before but remembering it made her face flush from embarrassment.Was she insane back then?“Look at my ‘About’ section,” Shaun reminded her.Catherine tapped it open while trembling. [If a life imprisonment is to love you forever, then I willingly accept the punishment.]Shaun lowered his head and coughed. “Do you like it?”As a lawyer, that was the most romantic lawyer-related confession he could think of.Catherine touched his forehead.“What are you doing?”“Checking if you have a fever.”Shaun’s expression darkened. “Enough, I spent the whole night trying to come up with this. For someone like me, one minute is en
“Shaun, this is the second time you’re accusing me because of that woman.” Rodney was angry too. “Shelley is Sarah’s sister. Sarah isn’t here anymore. I’m doing this to protect her family.”“Yes, I always thought the same too. That’s why I gave up on my principles for the sake of Sarah again and again. All these years, how many evil deeds have Thomas committed?!“Four years ago, he caused someone’s death. All of the evidence pointed to him, yet I endured the whole of Australia criticizing me and fought the lawsuit for him. After that case, I hated my occupation and withdrew from the lawyer community. All these years, I let Hugh target me all he wanted and you know it.“...”Rodney was silent.Shaun held Catherine’s hand tightly. “I defended Thomas for four years, and I even gave the Neeson family a lesson when they were pressuring the Langley family. However, that has caused problems in my marriage. People have to look forward eventually. I can’t be tied to Sarah for the rest of m
Lea’s expression hardened. “Your grandfather has retired. I’m reminding you not to do things so ruthlessly. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not going easy on you.”“I’m not sure what you mean by those words, but…”Shaun suddenly took a remote control and turned on the big screen on the wall. The faces of a few major shareholders of Hill Corporation appeared clearly on the screen. “Excuse me, Mom. I was having a video call with the shareholders. They’ve heard everything you just said.”Director Kennedy, who was the eldest among the shareholders, said, “Vice Director Hill, if we take back the 80 billion dollars, we could divide it among ourselves and we’d each have a few hundred million. Of course, we know that you’re rich and you don’t care. You can reject the money and just give it to us.”Director Martin said sarcastically, “We understand that the Campos family is your husband’s family, so we turned a blind eye to your underlings in Hill Corporation back then. But we never knew the
