Shaun, who seldom fell ill, had caught a cold this time.… The next morning at 7:00 a.m.Suzie was still fast asleep. However, Catherine had gotten in the habit of getting up early and preparing breakfast. Since the little one spent the night here, she had to prepare a hearty meal.When passing by the living room, she tried her best not to look at the figure lying on the sofa.“Ahem.” Shaun’s cough sounded.She pretended not to hear and took out a packet of pasta dough from the refrigerator.“I have a cold.” Shaun’s ghostly voice sounded at the door.She ignored him. She was afraid that if she turned around, she might be reminded of the embarrassing incident yesterday and might not be able to refrain from kicking him. “I said I have a cold,” Shaun said again softly while walking up to her.“I don’t care if you have a cold.” Catherine turned around and glared at him with her dark and clear eyes. There was a tinge of redness on her pretty cheeks.Shaun’s sharp eyes picked
“Dude, that’s basic common sense, okay? If you don’t mind hurting your stomach, I’ll give you the medicine now.” Catherine was rendered speechless by his shamelessness.“Is it that hard to admit that you care about me?” Shaun was absolutely confident.“So what if I admit it? Dude, the whole world already knows you’re getting married. Is Eldest Young Master Hill going to abandon his childhood sweetheart fiancee for a little girl like me?”Catherine mocked him before she went into the kitchen to cook the pasta.Shaun stared at her silhouette silently with a complicated look in his eyes.Although he had long known that he had some thoughts about her, he admitted that those thoughts were not enough to affect his feelings for Sarah.However, everything that happened last night had changed his perception of Sarah.Perhaps Sarah was not as kind as he imagined, and Catherine was not as bad as he thought.The pasta was very simple. Within ten minutes, it was cooked.Shaun scarfed the p
“I know, but Uncle is about to get married. Aunty Cathy said that Aunty Sarah would be unhappy if you accompany me every day. I don’t want her to dislike me,” Suzie said innocently.Shaun glared at Catherine with annoyance.“Did I say anything wrong?” Catherine’s beautiful eyes challenged him. “Or do you think that Sarah won’t mind at all?”“...”If it were in the past, Shaun would bet that Sarah was not that kind of person, but now, he was unsure.He gritted his teeth at Catherine’s snub.“Hurry up and leave, so you don’t infect Suzie.” Catherine once again chased him away.Shaun could only resign himself to leaving.Once he was in the car, he gave the order. “Go to the company. I’ve already taken some medicine. I don’t need to go to the hospital.”Hadley looked at him and did not say anything else.After all, putting aside some mental illness, his president was usually quite healthy. He had never gotten a cold all year round, and today was an exception.“Oh right. Make a c
Sarah was shocked, but she tried to maintain a smile on her face. “Of course I do. Children are innocent and lovely, just like little angels. I like them very much.”Shaun pursed his lips.Sarah held his hand and lowered her eyes. “Shaun, I know my mistake last night made you very upset, but it was my first time handling a child, so I was at a loss. I promise I won’t do it again in the future. You can bring Suzie over more often to play next time, and I can practice more on how to take care of children.”If Suzie dared to tell Shaun about what happened yesterday, she had a thousand ways to teach Suzie without her knowing it.Even if Suzie died, Sarah could make it so that she had nothing to do with it.“Practice?” Shaun frowned. “She’s just a little child. Just a little carelessness will get her injured. Even a fishbone or a fruit core might kill her.”With a pale face, Sarah quickly explained, “That’s not what I meant. I’ll be really, really careful. I won’t let something like t
Hence, Shaun wanted to make sure that his children grew up surrounded by parental love. “I will. I’ll take good care of them,” Sarah said while tears fell from her eyes.“Sarah, I can’t trust you. I think we’re still young. Let’s talk about having children sometime later.”Shaun then looked away. “You can go back now. I still have a lot of things to deal with. By the way, you don’t have to prepare my lunch and bring it over anymore. I want you to have your own career rather than let your life revolve around me.”Once he finished speaking, he sat on the office chair and began working.Sarah was so angry that she nearly went mad.However, all she could do was fake an aggrieved look while she walked out of the Hill Corporation’s office.She had never expected that the image she had worked so hard to build would end up tarnished by a child instead of Catherine.At this very moment, Lucifer called Sarah.“Transfer me 100 million dollars now. I’m strapped for cash.”Sarah flew int
Shortly after Catherine left, Suzie stuffed a card into Lucas’s hand. “This is from our scummy dad. Take it and spend it whenever you want. I have one too. Great-grandpa gave it to me.”“I don’t want it.” Lucas tossed it back to Suzie and reminded her, “Susan Jones, are you hoping that our scummy dad will get back together with Mommy?”A guilty look flashed across Suzie’s eyes. “Actually… Our scummy dad is more attractive in real life than in photos. We’ll be honored if we go out with him…”Lucas was at a loss for words. He knew that his sister was unreliable, considering that she admired people with good looks. “Don’t forget that he’s going to marry another woman. He’s a scumbag. If it weren’t for Mommy, who protected us back then, we might not have survived.”Suzie instantly kept quiet. “Also, don’t forget how well Uncle Wesley treats us,” Lucas reminded her bluntly. “All this while, Uncle Wesley has been waiting for Mommy.”“Fine. I’m not going to matchmake them.”Suzie drop
“I’m hanging up now.”“Hold on.” Shaun immediately stopped Catherine. “What brand is it?”“I don’t remember. Anyway, it’s available at the drugstore.” Catherine slammed the phone immediately.Shaun frowned and called her again.“What do you want, Shaun?” Shaun was getting on her nerves. All she wanted was to have a proper nap. Her tone was filled with impatience, but Shaun did not sense it. He was already ill, but at that point, he felt a little feverish again. “I just want to remind you out of the goodness of my heart that Isaac isn’t a good guy. He has smelly feet, and what’s more, he’s interested in men. He got closer to you simply because you’re the successor of Yule Corporation. Don’t think that he’s into you.”“It’s none of your business.” Catherine’s words made him choke with rage.“I reminded you only because you’re my ex-wife. I don’t wish to see you deceived and shamed.”“Thank you, but I don’t think Isaac has smelly feet. I’ll bring him home tonight to find out whet
In a hidden private room.Sarah had waited for over ten minutes before the door was slowly pushed open.A man, who exuded a sense of nobility, slowly walked in. From his brows, he seemed sluggish and careless. “Why are you looking for me, Miss Neeson?”“I’d like to collaborate with you.”Staring at his face, Sarah gave a faint and calm smile.“There’s nothing we can collaborate on. I think you’ve misunderstood me, Miss Neeson. I’m quite busy. If there’s nothing else…”“The Shelley by Shaun’s side three years ago was not the real Shelley,” Sarah said. “When she died later, you replaced her with the real Shelley. If I’m not mistaken, you made Charity the impostor back then with the intention of ruining Shaun and Catherine’s relationship after you sent Charity to jail. Besides that, when that fake Shelley was with Shaun, she continuously messed up Shaun’s medicine that it worsened his condition, including his memory.”The man’s frown gradually turned deeper and colder.He slowly s
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
