After ending the phone call, Sarah got dressed and walked down the stairs. Shaun was standing in front of the French windows. His slender and beautiful fingers were wrapped around a glass of red wine. The window clearly reflected his handsome face. A man with his impeccable looks would make any woman want to do bad things to him on a night like this.A look of frustration flashed across Sarah’s face.Shaun was the most charming man she had ever seen yet he had problems in that department.“You’re going out?” He looked at her purse.“Yup, I’m going to meet my friends. I’m getting tired of this.” She tucked her hair behind her ear to reveal her sad face.His face was washed over with embarrassment. “Sorry. I promise… that I’ll see a doctor.”“Um… Sure.” She was so busy thinking about dealing with Lucifer that she merely mumbled a reply and quickly left the villa.A pin-drop silence fell upon the room. Shaun lowered his head to the ground and finished the wine in a gulp. A chubby
Joel was kicking himself. Despite having worked in the business industry for years, he still ended up barking up the wrong tree. He felt the need to make it up to Catherine in the future. He must not leave her to suffer. The next day.Catherine took Joel to a newly-opened yet reputable hospital in Canberra for a medical check-up. The check-up results were out in the morning. The doctor frowned upon looking at the report. “Mr. Yule, there are toxins in your blood.”“What?” Joel was shocked. “B-But the check-up I did three months ago showed that I was normal.”The doctor shook his head. “It’s chronic poisoning, which began to take place at least two years ago. Do you experience coughs, headaches, and chest tightness every now and then?”“Yes.” Joel quickly nodded. “I went to consult a doctor earlier. After giving me a body check-up, the doctor claimed that it could be due to the side effects of the accident and my age…”“I’m not sure why the doctor who treated you previously w
After parting with Joel, Catherine received another call.“Sarah has left.”Catherine looked at the time that read 10:00 p.m. “Tsk. It’s so late already. She’s quite capable, huh?”“Yeah.” The person on the other end laughed and said, “I wonder if Shaun can usually satisfy her.”When Catherine was about to reply, the elevator suddenly stopped on the third floor. Shaun, who was sturdily built, walked out with Hadley. He was exuding an irresistible sense of mature masculinity. When the three of them looked at each other, Shaun froze.Catherine’s pretty face turned strange after she glanced at the board behind him that read ‘andrology unit’. “He probably can’t satisfy her. I have something to deal with now. Bye.”She pressed the ‘end call’ button.As soon as Shaun heard the word ‘satisfy’, his handsome face subconsciously turned somber. “What are you looking at? I’m just here to accompany Hadley to see the doctor…”After being made a scapegoat, Hadley was speechless.He felt
“Get out.” Shaun glowered at Hadley before striding out of the elevator.There was nothing more embarrassing than coming across his ex-wife when he visited the andrology unit. Damn it!…Catherine drove to Hudson Corporation immediately after she left the hospital.After three years, the familiar faces at the front desk had already been replaced with new faces.As soon as Catherine stepped in, the receptionist immediately stopped her. “Who are you? Have you made an appointment?”“No.” Catherine took off her sunglasses, revealing her exquisitely beautiful face. “But I’d like to meet your president.”The receptionist was stunned for a moment before scoffing. “Who are you to meet our president without making an appointment in advance? Are you under the impression that our president will simply meet anyone who’s well dressed? You’re not a celebrity like Cindy Turner.”“Cindy Turner?” Catherine raised her brows.“Cindy is our company’s new ambassador. Get out,” the receptionist r
Sarah unconsciously compared herself to Catherine. No matter how much effort she put into taking care of her skin, a few wrinkles were already visible below the corners of her eyes considering that she was turning 30 soon.She finally understood why Shaun had fallen for Catherine back then.She had wondered about Catherine’s whereabouts the last few days. She was shocked to find out that Catherine’s face had been treated.Having said that, what was the point? She had complete control over Shaun now, so Catherine was considered nothing.At the thought of it, Sarah curved her mouth into a smug smile.She pretended that she did not see Catherine and directly headed to the elevator.“Where are you going, Sarah? This is my office, isn’t it?” Catherine pulled Sarah’s long hair all of a sudden.Surprisingly, Catherine was dragging Sarah down to the floor without being concerned about her own image. With that, Sarah yelled in pain.“What are you doing?” The woman in black moved nimbly
“I didn’t expect that either. She usually looks so dignified, generous, and gentle that I treated her as a goddess.”“Hey, keep it down. She’s our president. She’s going to fire us if she hears this.”“...”Sarah’s face turned ghastly. Ever since she was publicly known to be Shaun’s girlfriend, everyone had flattered her and treated her as a goddess. She had not experienced this kind of humiliation.“Catherine, I’m going to sue you for accusing me if you comment further.”“Suit yourself. I came here today to take a look at my company. I’ll organize a general meeting tomorrow. I’ll gather all the company’s shareholders here and inform each of them about it.”Catherine pointed at Sarah using her index finger, her nail painted with red nail polish. “As for you, you’ll be the first person I fire.”Sarah reacted as if she had heard a joke. She bent over and burst out laughing with tears almost coming out of her eyes. “Catherine, are you under the impression that you hold an importa
“Okay, I will. Anyway, I’m calling you without Miss Neeson’s knowledge. She asked me not to tell you,” Yael whispered, “She’s been feeling sorry about the incident three years ago. She understands that Miss Jones went through a hard time.”“She’s just too kind,” Shaun said pitifully. The instant he recalled suspecting that Sarah had lied to him about Catherine’s depression, he felt a twinge of guilt. “Having said that, Miss Neeson has been absent-minded since she met Miss Jones. I’m guessing it’s because Miss Jones claimed that you’re her husband as she’s back now. She even called Miss Neeson a mistress.”“I’ll talk to Sarah later.”Shaun was enraged by Catherine’s shameless behavior.Only after Yael hung up the call did she shift her gaze back to Sarah.“Well done,” Sarah held Yale’s hands and said pitifully, “Thank you for helping me all throughout, Yael.”“Not at all, Miss Neeson. When I made a mistake back then, you helped me cover it up. If it hadn’t been for you, Eldest Y
Shortly after Harvey left, Catherine made a video call to chat with her two children in the US.“I miss you, Mommy.” Suzie showed a tearful look on her cute round face. Nevertheless, Catherine flew into a rage as soon as she noticed some chocolate on Suzie’s mouth. “Susan Jones, you coaxed your godmother into buying you chocolate again, didn’t you?”Suzie blinked her innocent eyes. “No, Mommy. You’re accusing me. This is unreasonable!”Lucas glanced at the little drama queen speechlessly. “Please. You didn’t clean the chocolate on the edge of your mouth.”Shocked, Suzie quickly licked the chocolate on the edge of her mouth. She soon licked it clean and said innocently, “I didn’t eat it. Godmother ate some chocolate and kissed me afterward.”“...”Catherine rubbed her forehead, wondering why she had given birth to such a foodie who was good at lying.Lucas said, “Do you think Mommy will believe your stupid explanation?”“Who’s stupid now? I’m not playing with you anymore.” Suz
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
