Now, the person Catherine wanted to deal with most… was Sarah Neeson.After leaving Lucas at the villa, Catherine was finally relieved of her recent worries. With the two children around, they were like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.At night, after Lucas fell asleep, Catherine left the villa.When she got into the car, she dialed Logan’s number. “How’s the situation with Lucifer?”“That guy gambles, drinks, and goes bar hopping every day. He even brought back a woman for two consecutive nights.” Logan sighed. “Sarah drops by three times a week and stays for seven to eight hours each time. Tsk, I really wonder if Shaun Hill has a disease. If not, he’ll get it sooner or later.”“Shut up.” Catherine rubbed her forehead. He always talked about that kind of thing when she called him, and it made her feel very uneasy. “How are the arrangements with the people we contacted him with?”“It’s done, but I think he has spent most of the money he has. He will be asking Sarah f
“Since when did we get along that well?” Shaun was even more convinced of what Suzie said. “Liam Hill, you already have a daughter. How old are you? You need to stop fooling around all day and take responsibility for your daughter. Suzie needs you.”“But I need freedom. Hey, to tell you the truth, I was very happy to have a daughter at first, but after a few days, it became troublesome. I have no freedom, and Suzie doesn’t want to sleep with Mom, so I can only hand her to you.”Then, Liam hung up the phone.Shaun looked down and saw a teary-eyed Suzie, who said, “Daddy doesn’t like me anymore.”“No, Daddy is busy. You’ll sleep at Uncle’s tonight, okay?” It hurt Shaun to see her cry. “Uncle, sorry for troubling you.” Suzie’s clever appearance made Shaun curse Liam ten thousand times over.How could he find such a lovely girl troublesome? Did he know how envious Shaun was? Damn it.… In the seaside villa.When Sarah heard the sound of the engine, she immediately put on some ma
Under the warm yellow light, Sarah gritted her teeth and wanted nothing more than to slap Suzie.… After dinner, Suzie wanted to take a bath.Shaun had no experience in bathing children, so he could only ask Aunty Zara to bathe her.However, Suzie shook her head. “Mommy said I can’t let strangers look at my body. Aunty Sarah, can you bathe me?”She looked at Sarah expectantly.Sarah’s scalp tingled. “I… I don’t know either…”‘Besides, we’re not that familiar, okay?’“Forget it. I won’t bathe.” Suzie lowered her head. “Uncle can’t bathe me either. It’s improper for a boy and girl to touch.”Shaun laughed and turned to Sarah. “Just bathe her. Haven’t you been thinking of having a child? You can get some practice first.”Sarah stomped her feet and acted like a spoiled child. “I shouldn’t be the only one responsible for the child. When the time comes, we’ll definitely hire a nanny. We can just leave bathing the child to the nanny.”Suzie tilted her head with a puzzled look. “Bu
That scene made Shaun’s blood boil, and his heart could not help but clench in pain.He hurriedly pulled a bath towel and rushed over to wrap the tiny body in it tightly. Then, he picked Suzie up in his arms and quickly walked out of the bathroom.While Suzie was carried to the bedroom bed, she sobbed. “It hurts… It’s so cold…”Shaun touched her skin, and when he found it icy cold, he checked her body to see a bruise on her elbow.“Suzie, it’s okay. Uncle will dress you right away.” Shaun took the quilt and wrapped it around her. As soon as he turned around, he bumped into Sarah, who was coming over with a set of children’s clothes.She looked flustered and aggrieved. “Shaun, I’m sorry. I didn’t know how she suddenly fell…”“I told you to bathe her, but is this how you do it? You were just sitting there when she fell.”A wave of inexplicable anger welled up in Sarah. It was the first time Shaun could not control his anger towards her.“I… I didn’t mean to. I was so shocked that
Shaun shuddered.If someone else said those words, he would not believe it. However, Suzie was just an innocent two-year-old child. She was at an age where she would not lie, so it must be true.He never thought that Sarah would say such a thing.Did she blame it on Suzie just because he reprimanded her a little during dinner?He was unfamiliar with this side of Sarah.All along, the Sarah he knew was a gentle, considerate, kind, and lively woman.He thought that they would have children in the future, so Sarah would definitely be very patient toward children. However, after bringing Suzie here today, he realized that Sarah had no patience with children at all.That was fine, but how could she say such cruel words to a child who had just lost her mother?Did Sarah change, or had he never truly understood her?“Suzie, tell Uncle. How did you fall in the bathroom just now?” Shaun asked in a low voice.Suzie bit her small mouth, and fear flashed across her eyes.“You have to te
“Isaac Stringer.” Catherine said faintly.“...”Shaun’s handsome face clouded over. He really wanted to scold her, but they were already divorced, so he had no reason to accuse her. “Come back right now. Suzie is injured. I’m at your door.”“What?” Catherine’s nervous voice sounded. “How did she get injured? Where’s Liam?”“I don’t know. Liam is an irresponsible guy. Come quickly. Suzie is crying and says she wants you.” Shaun actually did not expect much when he said that. After all, Suzie was not Catherine’s daughter.To his surprise, Catherine said, “Okay, I’ll come back now.”After hanging up the phone, Shaun lowered his head and looked at Suzie beside him. He did not expect that Catherine would be so concerned about Suzie. It was as if Suzie was her daughter.… On the other end, Catherine hung up the phone and immediately said to Isaac, “Sorry, something came up at home. I need to go.”“I’ll send you back.” Isaac got up.“No need, I’ll just drive back by myself.”Cathe
Having been accused, Shaun glared at her with dissatisfaction. “You have a lot of nerve to say that. If you didn’t scold her so suddenly, would she have been startled and dropped my phone? You’re the one at fault.”“Shaun Hill, do you not understand at all? She’s still young, and her eyes are not fully developed yet, so she can’t play with mobile phones.” Catherine walked up to Suzie very seriously. “Were you right or wrong?”Shaun thought Suzie would be afraid and start to cry. Just as he was about to scold Catherine, Suzie nodded obediently. “I was wrong. I won’t play with mobile phones anymore.”“If you want to watch cartoons, you can turn on the TV and watch for a while. But you can’t watch them on mobile phones.” Catherine’s tone changed to a very gentle one again.Suzie nodded obediently and even extended her hands towards Catherine for a hug.Catherine picked her up, and Suzie immediately buried her face in Catherine’s arms.Those who did not know would think that they wer
Shaun did not know what to say. Fine. Although he thought so too, he had not tasted the motherly taste of Catherine’s dishes yet. Maybe Catherine’s cooking tasted very similar to Suzie’s mother.“Well, it’s normal for children to get hungry at this time. I’ll make you… a souffle.”Catherine rubbed Suzie’s head and turned to the kitchen.Suzie immediately followed at her heels like a kitten eager to be fed.Shaun had never eaten souffle before, but he had heard Sarah mention that it was a dessert.“It’s not good for a child to eat dessert so late at night.” Shaun criticized her with a frown. He did not forget her blaming him for giving the cell phone to Suzie earlier, and she was no better.Catherine ignored him and took out three eggs from the fridge. Then, she separated the yolk from the whites.The bright egg yolks made her fingers look slender, and her clean, white wrists gave him an urge to hold her.Shaun was lost in thought for a while until Suzie answered him, “The sou
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
