“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
Suddenly, Chase raised his eyebrow and asked curiously, “You’ve stayed with her for a long time now, but do you really not have any feelings for her?”“Feelings?” Shaun mocked. “What about your feelings for the housekeeper who cooks for your family? I probably would’ve tolerated her presence if it was before, but now… I won’t forgive her.” Chase rolled his eyes. “What about… plotting against her as well? Lock her in the room and let her experience your pain.”The corners of Shaun’s mouth froze. He replied sulkily, “She has been eyeing me even from before. If I do that, she’ll surely get mad and might even destroy the door of my house.” “...”Chase shuddered at the thought of the scene.“Shut up. Just leave me alone.” Shaun began to feel thirsty. “Fetch me a glass of water.” ...At 4:00 a.m., Shaun was done with the IV infusion. He returned home only after the heat in his body subsided.Once he entered the house, he saw Catherine sleeping soundly on the couch in the living r
“You’re just overthinking.”With a bitter smile, Catherine described the incident to Freya who was then overwhelmed by a sense of guilt. “Sorry, Cathy. I probably didn’t think things through…”“Since he’s not into me, I shouldn’t have forced it. What’s more, I got together with him for selfish reasons. Freya, do you think that I shouldn’t have gotten married to Shaun just for the sake of taking revenge on Ethan?”Catherine was dazed at that moment.Freya sighed. “You’ve already embarked on this path. What else can you do when you’ve already reached this point? Are you going to stop halfway and get a divorce?”Catherine remained silent.‘Right. I should get a divorce, shouldn’t I?’She got up upon hanging up. With the door of the master bedroom left open, she noticed that Shaun had already left. She let out a sigh. After the incident, he seemed to have changed into a totally different person, which caused her to feel very tense.She casually cooked some noodles. After she fini
After all, Catherine was a young lady. She might give up on designing his villa in the heat of the moment. Sympathetic toward her, Wesley really wanted to help her out.“Oh.” His reply was pretty much the same as what Catherine had expected. “Let me explain the sketch to you in detail, Mr. Lyons.” Wesley nodded. Considering that he was not a professional, he had quite a limited understanding of the detailed sketch.Initially, Catherine stood right in front of the office desk while explaining the sketch. However, it was inconvenient as the sketch was upside down from her angle.Wesley pointed to his right side. “Come and stand here.”Upon obtaining his permission, Catherine walked past the desk and got to his right side. She bent over, then stretched out her finger to point to an area. “I was afraid there wouldn’t be enough space to place the bookshelves, so I arranged one more row here…”Wesley gazed at her long and slim fingers which resembled the tips of bamboo shoots. She was
Catherine was momentarily stunned. With a smile, she said, “Madam, I think you’re mistaken. My cat’s just a little too fat.” “I don’t think so. I bumped into your husband earlier and even asked him about it. Your husband admitted that the cat is pregnant.”“My husband?”Was the lady referring to Shaun?Indeed, Shaun would walk the cat occasionally. However, Fudge was not pregnant.“Madam, I’m sure you’ve mistaken someone else for Shaun.”“That’s unlikely. I might be a bit far-sighted, but your husband’s appearance is one of a kind. No one else in the neighborhood resembles him. Even those celebrities on TV aren’t as good-looking as him. What’s more, my cat is quite familiar with your cat as they’ve played together several times.” As the lady was speaking, her cat came over. Fudge immediately meowed to greet the cat. They seemed close as if they were old acquaintances.Catherine was completely disheartened. Was Fudge pregnant?Hang on, Fudge was actually a female cat?God, s
“Stop pretending! You told your neighbor that Fudge is pregnant. When I went to the vet to ask about it, I was told that she’s going to give birth soon. She vomited only because she’s pregnant and not because of the food I prepared.”Catherine became even more pissed as she spoke. She then flew into a fit of rage. “Shaun, do you think it’s fun to trick me by treating me as a fool?”Shaun’s expression turned somber. He was slightly embarrassed.“Catherine, you’d better get this clear. You were the one who wanted to move in before this, and I just fulfilled your wish by offering you the chance to please me.”“So am I supposed to thank you for lying to me…” Catherine gnashed her teeth.“Weren’t you glad to be able to move into this place back then? Moreover, I even saved you twice later. If it hadn’t been for me, do you think you could still be here talking to me in one piece?”Shaun frowned as this woman did not know her place. When she had no money and nowhere to stay back then, h
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
