Shaun suspected that Catherine was flirting with him again.“Ahem, can you both go outside if you want to flirt?” The police officer coughed lightly with an awkward expression.Shaun glared at Catherine. It was her fault. She knew no shame.“Okay, thank you, Mr. Police. Sorry for disturbing you.” Catherine elegantly walked out of the police station’s door in her high heels.When Shaun followed her out, she showed him her bank account’s QR code. “Scan this.”“...”Shaun noticed that whenever she was with him, his blood pressure would skyrocket. “Wait, wasn’t it 6,800 dollars just now? Why did it become 26,800 dollars now?”“That’s the money for my shoes.” Catherine looked at him as if it was a matter of course. “That pair of canvas shoes were from an international brand. I just bought them recently. It cost 20,000 dollars.”“You hit my face with that shoe, yet you have the audacity to have me compensate you?” Shaun complained.“You could’ve hit me back. Why did you throw it out
Soon, a black sports car approached. Joseph lowered the car window and nodded at Shaun. After that, he drove away with Catherine in his car.Shaun nearly went after them out of anger, but he halted when he recalled Catherine’s words.“Shaun, do you still have me in your heart…”That woman’s voice echoed in his ears.He took out a cigarette and lit it annoyedly.It was impossible. He only had Sarah in his heart.10:00 p.m.The night was silent. Shaun was looking at the latest quarterly report in the study.Sarah was wearing a sexy tank top and slowly hugged him from behind. “Shaunic, you’re taking medications now, right? Let’s try it out.”Shaun’s body tensed. He turned around and could not refuse Sarah when he saw her pleading gaze. “Okay.”Logically speaking, he had a strong reaction toward Catherine last time. He was supposedly okay. However, when he got closer to Sarah, that strong wave of repulsion and disgust resurfaced.“Sorry, I think I’ve not recovered yet.” Shau
Just as Catherine finished speaking, she saw a shadow looming over her.Shaun was glaring at her with a hard expression, and his eyes were blazing.“Who are you on the phone with? Joseph?”She even said the word ‘darling’ and gave a kiss to that person on the other end of the phone.When he thought about her being so intimate with a guy, he had the urge to strangle her.Catherine was shocked. She was talking to Suzie and Lucas. She could never let Shaun discover their existence.“What does it have to do with you?” Catherine took off her earphones in a hurry and wanted to hang up the call. However, she did not know that her frantic actions only made Shaun feel like she was trying to hide something. He snatched her phone angrily and put the call on speaker. “Joseph?”“Shaun…” Catherine’s heart was about to leap out of her throat. She hoped that Suzie and Lucas were quick-witted.“Uncle, who’s Joseph?” A naive, childish voice was heard from the phone.Shaun was taken aback. He
“Yeah, her parents don't really educate her about these things.” Catherine faked a smile and said, “Especially her dad. He has another woman outside and is often not at home.”“Her dad is too irresponsible.” Shaun strangely felt pity for that little girl. “Yes, just like you,” Catherine said, “When I was overseas, I couldn’t help but remember the children we lost whenever I saw my neighbor’s children.”“...”Shaun’s chest felt stuffy. He sneered, “You’re just trying to imply something about me. Why did we get married back then? It was you who had brazenly insisted on getting married to me. If it weren’t for you climbing into my bed, would I have even given you the chance to get pregnant?”Catherine smiled vaguely as she looked at him. “Tell me, then. How exactly did I climb into your bed?”“How do you still dare to bring it up? Didn’t you succeed because you added something to my drink back in Melbourne?” Shaun accused her coldly.Catherine realized it instantly. Sarah’s hypnos
Sarah had a kind and thoughtful image in Shaun’s heart all along.As she cried in front of him, he could not describe the feeling he had inside his heart.There was surely anger, though. Other people might not have known about it, but Sarah should know that the incident was considered taboo to him.However, she still did it anyway.The main reason being he did not make her feel secure enough.As he thought about it, it was true that after Catherine returned, he had been paying Sarah less attention.Besides, Sarah had always silently stayed by his side yet he could not even satisfy her most basic need.As a man, Shaun felt sorry.At that moment, he could not bring himself to refuse Sarah’s humble plea.Seeing that he was remaining silent, Sarah took the initiative more than ever before.Although Shaun’s body was burning up, he still felt repulsed at Sarah’s touch.He could not take it anymore and pushed her away strongly.Sarah fell on the carpet in a mess.“Sarah, I’m sorr
Catherine’s sarcasm infuriated Shaun. “Do you think I wanted to do it? I was set up.”“Ha.”Catherine scoffed. He was once again being a jerk.The hidden meaning in his words was, ‘Do you think I wanted to touch you? I wouldn’t have touched you if I hadn’t been set up. That’s why I don’t have to take any responsibility, and you shouldn’t blame me either.’“Why are you laughing? You must be delighted.” Shaun recalled how much he had yearned for her last night. He was embarrassed.“Delighted?” Catherine rolled up her sleeves speechlessly. She revealed the rings of bruises on her arms caused by someone gripping her with too much strength. “Please, look at this. I have bruises all over my body. Brother, do you not know that you didn’t even treat me like a human last night? I can sue you for this!”Looking at those bruises, Shaun went tight-lipped. Traces of apology welled up in him.“What grudge did I have with you in my past life? Why didn’t you go look for Sarah?” Catherine held b
Shaun looked at Catherine’s back with complicated feelings.Sarah lied to him?He had never thought of it before. It surely had to be Catherine’s scheme.He had sweated profusely last night, so he was feeling uncomfortable all over now. He wanted to take a bath after he went into the bathroom but he did not have a towel. He gave it some thought and simply took Catherine’s towel.He was a clean freak. He could not even bear using Sarah’s towel to wipe his face. However, when he used Catherine’s towel, he did not feel repulsed at all. Her towel had a pleasant smell as well, just like her body.When he came out of the bathroom, Catherine was sitting in the dining area, having pasta. There even was a golden fried egg on the pasta. It looked delicious at first sight.Shaun, who was exhausted from last night, immediately felt hungry. “Where’s mine?”He directly sat on the chair beside her and looked like he was waiting for someone to serve him breakfast.Catherine glanced at him lazi
Shaun looked at Catherine. He had clearly lost, yet her childish appearance made his heart race.He gulped and subconsciously moved forward, where he bit the rest of the noodles hanging on her mouth.When he bit down, his lips touched hers.Catherine’s eyes instantly widened. Her thick eyelashes brushed across the skin of his cheeks, and her pure eyes were as clear as the brightest star in the sky.At that moment, Shaun felt something in his brain snap.He wanted to hold the back of her head and get a taste of what they had last night once again. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.Catherine shuddered and pushed him away. Her snow-white face blushed a little as she glared at him before walking over to open the door.Chester’s tall and handsome figure stood at the door. As soon as his keen eyes fell on Catherine’s lips, he suddenly felt a headache build up. After all, he was experienced as well.“It’s for you. Please hurry up and leave. I don’t want to be accused of seducing you agai
