Aunty Yasmine teased Catherine after seeing the glow on her face. “It seems like Eldest Young Master Hill is the cure.”Catherine blushed and bit her lip.She hated that their stupidity had brought harm to Charity and Freya. However, she could not resist yearning for Shaun’s affection now that she was pregnant.Shaun called that night. “I’m working overtime tonight, so I’ll not be home for dinner. I also have a social meeting later and I don’t know when that’ll end. I’ll spend the night at the city house.”“Okay.”She suddenly remembered Liam’s reminder after the phone call.Frustrated, she held her head in both her hands. How could she honestly believe Liam’s words?Shelley was dead. Unless, he had met another Sarah lookalike.8:00 p.m. Her phone’s notification rang when she was about to shower. She received a photo sent by an unknown number from Canberra.She clicked into the photo. Shaun was walking along a hotel corridor with a woman dressed in a long linen dress. The woma
That was the woman Shaun thought about even in his dreams.Charity had warned her before that Sarah was not an innocent woman. Catherine would not be the latter’s opponent if she was still alive.Oh right, Charity had also said to watch out for ‘carer eaton’ yesterday.Carer eaton.Sarah Neeson?Catherine trembled.She was in complete shock.That was it. Charity was warning her to watch out for Sarah Neeson.Therefore, she already knew that Sarah was still alive.What else did she know?Besides, Liam had also reminded Catherine last night.Everyone knew about this apart from herself.Would Shaun get back together with Sarah?Her heart clenched as she touched her belly subconsciously.No way! She did not care what he was like in the past, but he was the children’s father now. They needed a complete family.Immediately, she grabbed her phone to call Shaun.“Sorry, the number you’re calling is unavailable.”What was he doing that he could not pick up her call?Could it b
Sarah stared at Shaun’s profile. Although he was sitting in a dim area, his exquisite features remained attractive. She felt the need to win his heart. “Shaunny, can you do me a favor? Can you let go of Neeson Corporation?”“You want to take it over, huh?”“No. I’m busy enough with work so I don’t have the time to manage the company.” Sarah gave a bitter laugh. “My dad has relapsed while Charity is in jail. What my dad cares about most is his company. I’m afraid he won’t be able to hold on without his company.” A trace of gentleness flashed across Shaun’s eyes. “You’re still the same. Anyway, don’t forget how he treated you when you were wandering out there over these years.”“That’s another story. I’m just doing what I should as a daughter. At least I have a clear conscience.” Sarah sighed. “What’s more, my brother is unemployed despite the fact that he’s already an adult. I should assist him in turning over a new leaf so that he won’t behave like before.”At the mention of Thom
Liam rubbed his forehead. Sometimes, women were so sharp that it seemed as if they had antennae. “Actually, I only heard that Shaun, Rodney, and the gang are always dining out with Sarah recently. I’m not sure about the other stuff.”“Instead of distancing himself from his ex, he approaches and hangs out with her instead. Doesn’t this mean he’s going to cheat on me sooner or later?” Catherine bit her lip, feeling a lump form in her throat. “I don’t want my children to grow up without a father.”“Alright.” Liam continued to drive.40 minutes later, the car was parked in front of Maison Bar.Catherine pushed open the car door and got out.“Wait for me.” Worried that something would happen to the babies in her belly, Liam quickly went after her.Catherine walked up the stairs and pushed open the door of each private room. When she pushed the door of the fourth room, she spotted a man and a woman hugging on the couch. The tall and handsome man was Shaun. Meanwhile, Sarah was gently t
“So you’re blaming me for interrupting you and your ex?” Catherine teased Shaun in between her sobs.“I said no, so it means no. Why do you always humiliate people before getting your facts straight? Apologize to Sarah right now,” Shaun ordered her grimly.Apologize?Catherine reacted as though she had just heard the funniest joke on earth.“It’s fine, Shaunic,” Sarah promptly talked him out of it. “You’d better leave with Young Madam now. Ah-choo.”Sarah sneezed and huddled herself up.Shaun quickly took off his coat and put it on her.Feelings of frustration engulfed Catherine all of a sudden.When Shelley, who had a passing resemblance to Sarah, appeared previously, Catherine and Shaun had a blazing row and were on the verge of divorce.Now that Sarah herself was present, would Catherine still have hopes of beating her?Catherine’s eyes conveyed a sense of perplexity.Should she not have come here tonight?Standing at the door was Liam who had been stopping himself from
Catherine cast a complicated glance at Liam. It had been a while since she had a high opinion of him. Liam grinned at her, showing a row of white teeth.At the sight of their flirtatious acts, Shaun’s face darkened.Sarah then said gently, “Your treatment is done for today, Shaunic. You may send your wife home first.”“Okay.” Shaun nodded. It worried him to see Catherine and Liam going back together. As for Sarah, he was sure that she had driven here.When Catherine reached the door, she turned around and looked at Sarah. “Miss Neeson, I hope you can come to the manor when you treat Shaun. I’m sorry for being petty. After all, you’re pretty and also Shaun’s ex while I’m just a pregnant woman. Considering that you’re a woman as well, I’m sure you understand my feelings.” “I understand.” Sarah nodded with a weak smile.When Sarah noticed that Shaun had left without looking back, her pretty face turned somber all of a sudden.Shaun actually left her alone here.If this had happ
Shaun could not believe it at all. “That’s impossible. I’ve seen on the news that the ingredients for barbecue are just casually rinsed.”The boss was speechless.F*ck. Was this person trying to cause trouble? If it had not been for his sturdy physique and outstanding attire, the boss would have asked him to get lost.“If you don’t believe me, I can’t do anything. Perhaps you can choose to eat at another stall,” the boss teased him. “It’s fine. I’ll personally wash the ingredients that my wife is going to eat.” Shaun chose the ingredients that Catherine ordered and cleaned them properly with water.“Are you planning to wash everything, including what your companion has ordered?” the boss gnashed his teeth and asked with a long face.“No. You can choose the dirtiest ingredients for him.”The boss was at a loss for words.How could this person be so mean?Shaun calmly went back to his seat. “My dear, I’ve personally washed the ingredients for you. I can guarantee that they’re c
Shaun pursed his lips in annoyance. “Look after her.”After the call ended, Catherine turned her head around and glanced at Shaun. “What’s wrong? Did something happen to Sarah?”“You heard everything?” Shaun’s eyes glowed. He had adjusted the volume to the lowest level, so he was surprised that she actually heard it.She heard nothing, in fact.It was just that she could somewhat grasp Sarah’s tactics.Sure enough, the woman was not simple.Catherine snorted. “Not only did I guess correctly that something had happened to her, but I’m also sure that Rodney was the one who made the call. Rodney certainly blamed you for not sending Sarah home and wondered why she was soaked, but Sarah was insistent on keeping silent about the truth.”“...”Shaun was so stupefied that he almost doubted if she had planted a bug in his phone.“How do you know?”Catherine curled her lips. As expected, she had guessed it all right. “Rebecca used such tactics before.”Shaun frowned upon hearing that.
