A trace of worry flashed across Chase’s eyes.“My dear, have some fruits.” Shaun brought a fruit platter over.The door of the private room opened again. Chester came in with his hand circled around a woman with a tall figure. The woman had long and straight black hair that rested on her shoulders. She was wearing a floral-striped off-shoulder shirt with puffy sleeves. She matched it with a white denim short skirt.However, when Catherine got a clearer look at that woman’s face, she was speechless.F*ck!What a bad day.That woman turned out to be Cindy, whom she had not met in a long time.Ever since the Jones family fell apart, Catherine rarely met Cindy, but she often saw entertainment news related to her on the phone. It seemed like Cindy was becoming more famous. However, Catherine had no ties with Cindy, so she did not pay any attention to her. Surprisingly, Cindy was now hooking up with Chester.Did the eyes of every one of Shaun’s friends get smudged with sh*t?He did
Sarah glanced at Catherine who had a cold expression and there was a gleam in her eyes. She made herself look like an understanding friend. “Let’s go sing some songs.”Catherine shot a speechless glance at those two women.A pretentious b*tch and a fake b*tch.They were a match made in heaven.If only she knew, she would have insisted on not coming.Soon, music started to play in the private room. Catherine recognized the melody instantly. It was Bruno Mars’ ‘Count on Me’. Freya, Cindy, and she had often sung that song in the past.At that moment, Cindy took a microphone and passed it to her in front of everybody. She even said into her microphone, “Cathy, let’s sing together. We were the best at singing this song. I know I made some mistakes before and I don’t know what else to say besides I’m sorry. But I really miss the sisterhood between us. If it weren’t for your encouragement, I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am today in the entertainment industry. I miss you a lot. I re
She touched her stomach. “I’m sorry, my babies. I promised not to get angry but I couldn’t control myself again.”“Cathy, I’ll send you back.” Shaun held her hand. “I’ll have the driver drive the car over.”Catherine remained silent.On the way back home, she did not speak a word either.Shaun studied her expression a few times. His eyes looked weary. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked you to go today. What Rodney said was too much.”“You’re right. You don’t have to invite me next time,” Catherine replied calmly.Actually, she still felt disappointed in her heart. Whenever she faced Shaun’s group of friends, she always felt like she was battling them alone. He had never once taken her side with a firm stance.She could not even remember how many times it had happened already.When the car stopped, she got out of the car immediately.“My dear, babe…”Shaun called her from behind, but she never looked back. Gradually, he started to become angry as well. “What on earth do you wa
When did Catherine even start to refuse to talk to him?Shaun felt unease and fear in his heart.“No wonder you didn’t join Rodney and the others even when they invited you out. I’m sorry, maybe I shouldn’t have gone that day. In the end, your friendship with Rodney and the others has become strained,” Sarah said guiltily.“It’s not your fault. Cindy is the one to blame,” Shaun said coldly, “Were there no other women left? Why did Chester just have to hook up with this woman from the entertainment industry?”“Chester has always been a playboy when it comes to dating. Maybe he’s just dating her for fun. He might break up with her after a while.” Sarah looked at the time. “Let’s start the treatment.”“Okay.”Shaun stood up.In the treatment room, Sarah played a song on her phone that had an old melody. The song was not in English and sounded ancient. Shaun had never heard it before. “Why are you playing a song today?”“Yes, we’re changing to another treatment method. This is a Sa
It was almost summer, but Catherine suddenly felt a chill in the air.Even if she had caught him red-handed, not only did he not explain, but he also did not hide the disgust that he felt when she appeared. How could he do that? “Shaunic, don’t be like that,” Sarah said hurriedly, “She’s your wife, after all.”Shaun harrumphed. “If I hadn’t thought that she was dead before, she wouldn’t have become my wife. Let’s go, Sarah. I’ll send you back.”After he spoke, he grabbed Sarah and left.Catherine felt as if the blood in her body had gone cold. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, “Shaun, you dare to leave? If you leave, I’ll never forgive you anymore.”Shaun looked back. The woman behind was wearing a beige-colored dress. She was two months pregnant, but her figure was frail as if the wind could blow her away anytime.At that moment, his heart throbbed painfully. He wanted to go back, but he remembered a voice in his head that said, “The person you love is Sarah…”Catherin
Shaun was no longer the old Shaun. He was in control of the Hill family. If he wanted to do anything in his way, he did not even have to listen to the two elderly. Old Madam Hill’s expression was awkward. “What’s going on between the both of you? We realized that you two weren’t on speaking terms before. But we thought that you youngsters would make up shortly after a fight.”Catherine felt a sweep of coldness in her chest.She did not know either. Was Shaun fed up with her for not talking to him lately, so he wanted to get back together with Sarah?She really did not expect Shaun to be so cruel.“Don’t worry. We’ll tell him off. You should take care of the babies.” This was a rare moment when Old Master Hill was consoling someone so gently.Catherine closed her eyes and did not say a word.When the room became silent again, Aunty Yasmine brought a bowl of stew over and fed her. “Young Madam, you must have some stew. Even if you’re not hungry, the babies in your belly need to e
Catherine noticed the receptionist’s gaze. She said insistently, “I’m still going up even if he’s busy.”She headed straight upstairs.When she pushed the office door open, Shaun’s upset voice sounded from inside. “Who allowed you to come in without knocking—”Before he finished his sentence, he stopped abruptly when he saw Catherine.Catherine saw what was happening in the office. Sarah was sitting on Shaun’s lap. That scene was so disgusting that she wanted to throw up again even though she just did in the morning.“Young Madam…” Sarah stood away from Shaun’s lap frantically. “I’m sorry…”“Stop pretending, Sarah. Don’t you feel even an ounce of shame for seducing a married man?” Catherine could not hold it in anymore. She rushed over and raised her hand to slap Sarah across her face.However, Shaun grabbed her wrist halfway.He stared at her coldly. “Catherine, who do you think you are? How dare you hit Sarah? Get lost.”He flung her arm away hard. If Elle had not held on to
It was impossible.Shaun frowned. “Catherine, the one I love has been Sarah all along. It has never changed.”Catherine’s body shook.He just used one short sentence to deny their whole past. What did she mean to him?“So everything you said to me at the seaside villa was a lie? You said you’d only love me in this lifetime.” Catherine was about to break down and cry. “How can you do this to me? You just changed all of a sudden. Don’t you think that you’re being very weird?”“Don’t say another word. I know my own heart.”Shaun was annoyed by her gaze. “I’ve had enough of you since a long time ago. If it weren’t for the children, we would’ve divorced long ago.”Catherine held her breath.At that moment, she could feel her heart growing colder and colder.Was that it? Had he just been tolerating her all this time?Could he not stand her any longer?However, Shaun did not care. He continued saying cruelly, “After you give birth to the children, we’ll get a divorce. Don’t worry,
