Could Catherine get drunk before Shaun did?Amid her distress, Shaun gave her a call. “Where are you?”“In the office.”“Send me your address. I’ll pick you up downstairs in 20 minutes. You’ll accompany me to a birthday banquet.”Here came the opportunity.Catherine’s eyes sparkled, but she was subsequently filled with dissatisfaction. “You didn’t want to attend my grandma’s birthday banquet, so why should I accompany you this time?”“If you’re not willing to come with me, that’s fine. I’ll look for someone else…”Just as Shaun was about to hang up, Catherine gave in and saved the situation. “I’m coming, I’m coming. In the love arena, it’s always the person who falls in love first who loses. I’m doomed to completely lose my heart to you. How brilliant you are.”With that, she took the thermos flask and sipped on her coffee. Even she was impressed by her own flirting skills.A few seconds later, Shaun’s voice came from the other end. “My phone is connected to the car via Blueto
Just as Catherine was distressed regarding how she should deal with the situation, a shadow was cast on her all of a sudden.She looked up and caught sight of a familiar man’s features. She was so frightened that she took two steps backward and lost her balance in her high heels. Seeing that she was about to fall, Shaun stretched out his hand to hold her waist and bring her into his arms so that she was able to keep her footing.If this had happened on any other day, Catherine would have only been slightly nervous. However, she had been picturing Shaun shirtless just a moment ago. Now that the tip of her nose was right next to his chest, her pretty face suddenly turned as red as a beet.“Am I that scary?” Shaun raised his eyebrow“No, I was just spacing out earlier.” She quickly moved backward and kept a distance from him.“Get into the car.”Shaun opened the door and sat in the driver’s seat.Catherine realized that someone was in the passenger seat, so she reluctantly went t
Shaun flew into a temper whenever he recalled Catherine staring at a shirtless man. How shameless she was! Chase argued, “To put it another way, it can be considered as a learning resource sometimes. Perhaps Sister-in-law is learning it for your sake.”Catherine nodded deep down, agreeing with Chase’s statement.Shaun spoke in a somber tone, “There’s no need for that. She won’t get to put it to good use.”Even if that happened, he would be the one in control.However, that was not what Catherine thought. Assuming that he was not at all attracted to her in that way, she lowered her head in despair.Chase glanced at her sympathetically. He then sighed after seeing how unromantic Shaun was....After half an hour, the car stopped.Catherine raised her head, only to find that she had arrived at Miracle, a studio that provided personalized styles.Although she had never been here, she heard that Miracle was the most well-known makeup studio in Melbourne. Shaun turned around and
That was actually possible.Catherine’s glumness faded at such a thought.Then, she changed into a long white dress before she went downstairs. Unexpectedly, she saw Shaun smoking.He rarely smoked. Today was probably the first time she had seen him doing so.Nevertheless, he looked handsome and charming when he smoked. Since she was in love with a man, anything he did would surely look great to her. “Shaunny, is this dress okay?”Catherine walked to him and pulled at his sleeve secretly.Shaun cast a glance at her. This time, she was dressed conservatively with an elegant feel. She was sure to become a beautiful sight to behold tonight. Suddenly, he regretted choosing to bring her out. He should have hidden her.“Let’s go.” Shaun put out the cigarette in the ashtray and walked out first.Holding her dress, Catherine walked relatively slowly. When Shaun turned his head around, his brows were furrowed. He walked to her and lifted her by the waist straight away.She subconsc
Shaun smirked when he noticed how quickly Catherine got jealous. “Chase’s sister.”“Who’s she? Why is she calling you in an intimate manner?” A bitter look crossed Angela’s face. Curling her red lips, Catherine said, “Hi, Miss Harrison. I’m his girlfriend. You might not have seen me before, but you should’ve heard of my name. I’m Catherine Jones, the most beautiful woman among the elites in Melbourne.”Shaun’s mouth twitched at her shameless remark. Angela widened her eyes as she could not believe how shameless the woman was. She then mocked, “Hehe. Sorry, I haven’t heard about you being the most beautiful woman. However, I’ve heard about the foolish behavior of Catherine Jones from the Jones family in Melbourne recently. You lost to your sister, who came from a rural area, for the right to the Jones family’s inheritance, and you subsequently got kicked out of the family. I don’t believe that Shaun would want to have such a dumb*ss as his girlfriend.”Catherine felt as if someth
“Great. Now that you’re aware of it, I’m not going to beat around the bush.” Angela lifted her chin with an arrogant expression. “You’d better stay away from Shaun. He’s not someone you can afford to provoke.”“What if I don’t stay away from him?” Catherine asked out of curiosity. “You’re interested in him, but he only treats you as a little sister.”Angela remained impassive. “So what? For noble families like Shaun’s, they’re concerned about a well-matched marriage in terms of social status. To tell you the truth, you don’t even know him well. His family members won’t accept you because you don’t match him. Currently, he’s just having fun with you. His family is going to suck you dry.”She scoffed in sarcasm and subsequently left in a proud manner.Catherine was somehow upset by her words. Nevertheless, she did not really give it a thought. Anyway, a marriage certificate would be her biggest reliance at present.After Catherine left the main building, she soon met up with Freya.
A moment later, Shaun lowered his head and ate the food in the spoon that Catherine was holding.“Continue feeding me.”Catherine was speechless.Did he not have hands? Why was he ordering her to feed him?However, she continued to feed him all the food on the plate as she felt guilty.Shaun got up as soon as he finished eating. “Let’s go home.”Catherine was at a loss for words. “We’re going home just like this?”It was not even 8:00 p.m. yet. If they were to leave now, she would undoubtedly be the first person he would suspect later. “Uh, don’t leave. You can stay here overnight.” In fact, he was here to make an appearance. At the end of the day, he only showed up for the sake of Old Master Harrison. He found it a waste of time mingling with other people.Considering that he was insistent on leaving, Catherine had no choice but to leave together with him.After they got into the car, she handed him the gift that she received from Old Master Harrison.“Keep it,” Shaun sa
Catherine’s neck hurt so badly that tears rolled down her face. She thought that she was face to face with a devil!She deeply regretted it!“How despicable of you! I trusted you so much!”Anger erupted in Shaun’s chest. Why would she do such a thing? What he hated most in his life was being tricked!He resented her, yet the skin he was touching soon made him lose his senses. Having gone out of control, he flung her down on the bed.Catherine’s clothes were soon torn because of it. He got up and dashed to the bathroom for a shower again. Bang!The slam of the door was heard. It had also slammed against Catherine’s heart.Catherine subconsciously shuddered and stared at the ceiling blankly. She wondered if he resented her so much that he refused to touch her.That was true. He had not fallen for her since the very start.She had been wrong!She had been disastrously wrong. She should not have been persuaded to use this kind of tactic!Catherine dropped her gaze, feeling an
