“You won’t leave me with nothing? You’ll give me some money? When we first got married, you clearly told me that I wouldn’t get a single dime.” Catherine laughed.Harvey was shocked and sneaked a look at Shaun. He thought that Eldest Young Master Hill was a magnificent lover, but holy crap! It turned out that he was even worse than the scumbags outside. He was the richest man in the country yet he refused to give a dime as alimony.That was too stingy.Shaun felt the man’s disdain toward him and his expression instantly went dark. He took out his wallet from his back pocket and threw it at her. “Fine, I’ll give you all my money from now on, okay?”“No thank you. There are only a few men who put money in their cards these days. Most of them use the money for investments.” Catherine did not even glance at him.Shaun could not win against her and could only say to Harvey, “Give those documents to me. I’ll handle them.”Right at that moment, Hadley staggered when he heard the words.
“Be good. This is an extraordinary time in our lives. It’s for the sake of our little darlings.” Shaun picked her up and helped her put the pad on.During the whole process, Catherine wanted to smash her head and kill herself.When she returned to bed, her whole face was as red as the fruit on the table.She became annoyed by the sight and wanted to eat one, but Shaun immediately got up again when she grabbed the knife to cut the fruit. “Sit down. I’ll do it.”In short, Shaun stayed in the ward the entire afternoon and evening. Catherine was not allowed to touch anything. All she was allowed to do was lay down, lean back, and sleep.As a result of sleeping too much, she woke up at 6:00 a.m. the next day.When she opened her eyes, she found that Shaun was sleeping on the same pillow as her. She did not know when he squeezed up to her last night.Her anger flared when she remembered the image of how Shelley had grabbed his hand yesterday.However, the man’s clean appearance when
“Alright, Shaun, calm down. Doctor Lyles is already the best expert in this field in the country,” Chester spoke up.“How am I supposed to calm down? I couldn’t even bloody remember that my wife is pregnant. Is it possible that I won’t recognize my wife tomorrow?” Shaun’s face showed his irritation.Doctor Lyles’ lips moved but he did not say anything for a long time.Even so, Shaun could guess that he was right.He sat up angrily and smashed the items on the bedside table.“Shaun, calm down.” Chester and Doctor Lyles came forward to try and stop him, but Shaun pushed them away.Catherine bit her lip and went forward. “Shaun Hill, are you trying to scare the two children in my belly?”Shaun froze and looked at her stomach, curling his fists in pain. “I’m sick. Maybe I wouldn’t even recognize them if they stood in front of me in the future.”“That won’t happen. I’ve already gotten news about Nyasia abroad. As long as we find her, I have a way for her to cure you.” Chester patted
“Are you in the manor today? The grapes in the residence are ripe, so I’ll send some over to you and check on you as well. It’s not like you’ll come see an old woman like me if I don’t go to you first.”“Grapes are good. If a pregnant woman eats more grapes, maybe the babies will have bigger eyes in the future,” Shaun mused thoughtfully.“What… What did you say?” Old Madam Hill stuttered in shock.“It’s exactly what it sounds like. I’m going to be a father.” The corners of Shaun’s mouth curled up. His tone was as delighted as it could be as he continued, “They’re twins.”“Shaun Hill, why didn’t you announce such important news before now?” Old Madam Hill’s voice almost deafened him.Twins! Oh, God!The Hill family had never had twins before.Old Master Hill, who was reading the newspaper with his presbyopic glasses, also sat up and perked up his ears.“Why should I tell you? I thought you didn’t like Catherine.” Shaun crossed his legs. “If I told you earlier, you’d just make he
He refused to sleep in separate rooms. He could not stand it even if it was just for a day.Catherine originally wanted to explain herself, but her heart was slightly moved at Old Madam Hill’s words. She nodded in agreement. “I’m willing to move into the manor. Grandma is an experienced person and has given birth to several children, so I think Grandma is right.”“That’s right.” Old Madam Hill gave her an approving look.For the first time, she was slightly satisfied with Catherine.Shaun’s heavy eyes rested on her little face.He knew what she was thinking. She wanted to avoid him and did not want to sleep with him.“I disapprove.”“It’s useless for you to disapprove,” Old Master Hill ordered, “In any case, the first twins of the Hill family must be born healthily.”Shaun, “...”Damn it! He should not have told these two about the pregnancy.When the two elders left, he glared unhappily at Catherine. “You did that on purpose.”“Yeah.” Catherine looked up and said righteousl
Valerie hated Catherine. It was all Catherine’s fault that Shaun removed her from the position of director-general of Hill Corporation after he took office, causing her to be reduced to an unauthorized person.Her teeth ached in hatred every time she thought of Catherine Jones.“Aunty, why can’t I be here? I’m Shaun’s wife.” Catherine raised a brow and smiled.“Bah, don’t call me ‘Aunty’! You’re not worthy. You only make me sick.” Valerie became agitated.“That’s right, you’re just an illegitimate daughter. We don’t acknowledge you at all.” Queenie also looked down on her.“Don’t upset me,” Catherine said softly, not sounding threatening at all.Valerie laughed at that. “So what if I upset you? So what if I hit you?”She raised her hand as she spoke, but Queenie quickly grabbed her. “Mom, Grandma…”Valerie stopped and turned to look, only to see Old Madam Hill walking over. She was quite far away, so Valerie could not make out her expression. Even so, Valerie was full of disbel
Queenie also became anxious. “Grandma, forgive Mom. She didn’t mean to—”“Your Grandpa and I are old. We only want to live a simple life. We can’t tolerate such vicious thoughts. Queenie, if you’re like your mother, then you don’t have to come back in the future.”Old Madam Hill was really fed upShe waved her hand and let the housekeeper ‘escort’ them out.“Grandma, I’m sorry…” Catherine looked apologetic.“Don’t apologize. I could see very clearly that she was the one who was picking on you. It’s true that I don’t like you that much, but I can still distinguish between right and wrong.”Old Madam Hill was very straightforward.Catherine did not feel upset. On the contrary, the old madam’s attitude made her feel more at ease.“If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell me. You’re also Shaun’s wife. In the future, you’ll be in charge of this manor, so you can explore the place when you have time and familiarize yourself with it.”Catherine froze.Was Old Madam Hill accept
“Go ahead. Grandma would have turned off her phone at this hour to sleep.” Shaun domineeringly took her into his arms, and his left hand strayed toward her stomach. “Let me see if our two little babies have grown a little today.”“They’re only a month old now. There won’t be any changes.” Catherine pushed his hand away speechlessly. “Go away. I want to sleep.”“You haven’t answered my question.” Shaun stared intently at her. “Who wants to be the children’s godmother? If it’s Freya Lynch, I disagree because her IQ is worrying. If it’s Charity Neeson, I disagree even more…”“Shaun Hill, did you come over in the middle of the night to argue with me?” Catherine grew angry and hit him with the pillow. “The children are mine. It’s my decision on who gets to be their godmother. If you don’t stop nagging, I won’t give birth to them.”“What did you say?” Shaun’s face suddenly darkened. “Catherine Jones, think before you speak. Don’t think that the children won’t understand what you’re sayin
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
