Joseph smiled and said, “You forgot that I opened a company in Melbourne before. We became close as we were constantly working together during these few years. We came to Canberra together this time, and he insisted on coming when he heard that I was meeting up with you.”“Rin, you’re too much. I really thought you were dead at that time. You didn’t contact me as well. I’m heartbroken. If you wanted to fake your death, you should’ve asked me for help. I would’ve surely done a better job than Liam.”Chase said grumpily.“How did you know it was Liam? Did Shaun manage to look into it?” Catherine asked, raising her eyebrows.“Yes, I heard them talking about it in the group chat but I never said anything. Ever since you disappeared, I barely speak to them anymore.” Chase shook his head and lamented, “Shaun and Rodney are being played around by Sarah, and Chester hasn’t broken up with Cindy yet. It’s too shocking. What’s so good about Cindy anyway? She was just a normal singer back then
Shaun turned around. Catherine was walking out with a good-looking young man. That man was wearing jeans and a checkered shirt. His short hair was slightly curled, and he looked like a celebrity—dashing with a good fashion sense. On that guy’s arm was a beige-colored women’s windbreaker, and it was obviously Catherine’s.That woman… They were not divorced yet but she was already hooking up with other guys.A chill flashed across Shaun’s dark eyes.At that moment, Catherine spotted the group of people as well.She blinked and looked at Chase speechlessly.Chase touched his nose sheepishly.Sarah suddenly said, “Chase, the friends you mentioned just now were… them?”“Yes.” Chase simply nodded. “Rin came back. We definitely had to meet up and have a meal together. I know that you guys aren’t on good terms with each other, so we’ll be leaving first.”He waved and walked toward Catherine’s side.Cindy said reluctantly, “Since everyone knows each other, why don’t we go to the club
Not long after, the car stopped in front of the seaside villa. “You should go back first. I have an appointment with someone else to discuss some stuff.”“Why didn’t I hear that you had a prior engagement?” Sarah said, half-joking.“I forgot about it before.” Shaun lit a cigarette. He seemed absent-minded. “Don’t wait for me tonight. Sleep earlier.”Sarah gritted her teeth and forced herself to get down from the car. She wanted to say a few more sentences but what was left was only the car exhaust.She stomped her feet in frustration. She did not know why, but she had a strong feeling that Shaun would look for Catherine.Half an hour later, the sports car arrived at an oyster bar.Chase had mentioned that they were going to eat oysters just now. Chase liked this bar the most in the whole of Canberra. There was a high chance that they came here.When he pushed the door and went in, a heavenly singing voice could be heard.“I’d rather keep all the pain in my heart than forget you
“That must be her boyfriend. I’m so envious that he can date such a goddess-like woman.”“Yeah, her figure looks great too. Why don’t I have such luck?”“Uh, why did it become so cold suddenly? Was the air conditioner’s temperature lowered?”“Now that you say it, I feel quite cold too.”“...”Shaun clenched his jaw. He walked over with long strides.When Catherine, who just sat down, held up her glass to take a sip of red wine, a strong force yanked her backward all of a sudden.The red wine in the glass spilled all over the white T-shirt on her chest.The part of her shirt that got wet stuck to her chest tightly, revealing her impressive curves and the faint lines beneath.Catherine screamed. She turned back angrily and saw Shaun’s angry yet handsome face.“Shaun, are you crazy?”After glaring at him, Catherine quickly took a tissue to wipe the stains on her shirt.However, no matter how hard she wiped, it still stuck to her chest tightly. It made her shirt look transparen
Chase quickly went between the two men. “Shaun, calm down. Joseph is just joking.”“I wasn’t joking, though.” Joseph smirked.Shaun, who was being provoked again, narrowed his gaze. He sneered, “It’s too bad she’s unwilling. It’s her who refuses to get divorced now.”After he spoke, he pulled Catherine to him and stared at her sharply. “Say your thoughts. Do you want to divorce me?”Catherine grinned. “I do.”Shaun’s face stiffened. His blazing eyes looked as though he wanted to eat her alive. She had adamantly refused to get proof of divorce just a few days ago. However, now that she had another man, she wanted to leave him immediately.“But not now,” Catherine continued saying, “You and Sarah tortured me and made my life a living hell. I came back after three years, yet Sarah still did countless stupid acts. Tell her to dream on if she thinks I would surrender the position of Young Madam Hill so easily.”Joseph immediately poured a glass of wine for her and put on an affecti
Shaun, who never thought she would be so daring, got hit right in the face by the sole of her shoe.The car even rocked along with his fiery temper.“Catherine, I think you must be tired of living.” He snatched the shoe and threw it out of the window in a fury. If he were not driving at that moment, he would definitely teach her a lesson.“Who asked you to say filthy words?” Catherine felt strangely satisfied when she saw the shoe print on his handsome face. “Shaun, you lost my shoes. You have to compensate me with another pair.”Shaun sneered, “Why? You want me to compensate you with a pair of shoes for you to wear in front of Sarah and say that I bought them for you to hurt her? Catherine, what a good plan you have.”“If you don’t want to hurt her, you should let me go and not get tangled up with me over here in the middle of the night.” Catherine looked forward, and it did not seem like it was the way back to her home. “Shaun, where are you taking me?”“Inappropriate women lik
Beep beep.“...”The sound of the heart monitor could be heard continuously.Shaun could only hear a crying voice beside his ears.He struggled to open his eyes and saw Sarah’s tear-streaked face.“Shaunic, you’re awake.” Sarah stood up immediately. Rodney and Chester walked over at the same time.While looking at them, the last scene before he went unconscious flashed across his mind. He blurted out instinctively, “Where’s Catherine?”Sarah’s tear-streaked face stiffened. Rodney said furiously, “You still have the nerve to ask about her? Shaun, you lied to Sarah saying you had a meeting but you went to look for Catherine instead. What were you trying to do? The police checked the surveillance cameras. They said you two had an argument in the car and that’s why you went over the flowerbed, crashing into the wall. The fact that she tried to take control of the steering wheel while you were driving meant that she wanted you to die. The police will investigate her. She’ll be sent
“You won’t lose me.”Shaun sighed in his heart.After the driver sent Sarah back to the villa, Shaun went to the company.He had delayed too much work during the days he was hospitalized.Just as he got in the car, he received a call from the police. “President Hill, excuse me, but there’s a change in the situation. Please come to the police station.”...An hour later.Shaun appeared at the police station.On the chair outside the police station, Catherine had already finished a round of a game. She did not have any make-up on and was completely bare-faced. Her hair was tied into a bun, revealing her pretty, clear face. She looked like a pure and innocent university student.However, Shaun still remembered how she had crazily grabbed the steering wheel and his sensitive parts as well…F*ck, he had been in pain for a few days.“Hi! We’re meeting again so soon.” Catherine waved her hand while smiling.“What did you do?” Shaun walked over in large strides.The police played
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
