Old Master Snow waved his hand nonchalantly. “That’s not necessary. You just have to compensate Rodney. Since you’ve ruined his reputation and made other women afraid to marry him, just use yourself as compensation to him.”Freya, “...”She was dumbfounded. What was Old Master Snow saying? Why did she not understand him at all?Catherine’s mouth twitched. “You mean you want Freya to… marry Rodney?”“Exactly.” Old Master Snow nodded. “We have no other choice. Rodney’s mother had arranged a marriage for him, but it was all ruined by you.”Then, he secretly gave his daughter-in-law a look. Wendy Collins said shamelessly, “Yes, that woman was a really good woman. They could have gotten married. You have to compensate him with a marriage.”“No.” Freya shuddered as her head shook like a rattle. “My family is too poor. People like me aren’t worthy of the Snow family.”Old Master Snow snorted. “We’ve already investigated your background. The Lynch family is one of the richest families i
Catherine had just told him not to follow her in the afternoon, but she sent him a WhatsApp message in the evening.Catherine naturally did not miss the smug look in his eyes and glared at him fiercely in annoyance.Shaun pretended not to see it and turned to greet the people of the Snow family. “Grandpa Derek, why did you call them here?” Old Master Snow motioned to Freya with his chin. “That lying girl ruined Rodney’s reputation, so I had no choice. I’m worried that Rodney won’t get a wife, so I want her to marry him.”Shaun was also shocked by the old man’s idea. “Does Rodney know about this?”“I mentioned it to him before.” Old Master Snow sighed deeply. “Shaun, Rodney isn’t young anymore. I can’t watch him wasting his life away like this.”Shaun was choked for a moment. He knew that Rodney had feelings for Sarah. “Grandpa, I have to bring these two people away today, so don’t make things difficult for them.”“They even prepared a savior beforehand.” Old Master Snow glared
Freya glanced at Shaun intentionally. “Cathy, I don’t want to follow in your footsteps. If Rodney tells me to get lost and I don’t, I might be put into a mental hospital. That’ll be too painful.”Shaun, “...”He really had the urge to throw Freya to the Snow family now.He had just made a little progress, but she ruined everything.“Right? That’s why you must be careful when finding a man,” Catherine said meaningfully. “Especially those men who lose their intelligence when they meet two-faced b*tches. You have to stay away from them.”After coming out of the Snows’ residence, Shaun was rebuked by them.He thought of himself as a smart and powerful man. Otherwise, he would not have been able to lead Hill Corporation while surrounded by jackals. However, in the eyes of these two women, he was just an idiot.It made his handsome face become contorted.“President Hill…” At that moment, Hadley pulled up in front of the three in a sedan. “You called me over to—”“Send Freya back.” S
“...”Catherine’s temples throbbed.Damn it! From the beginning till the end, Shaun only treated her like a chef. How did she fall in love with a b*stard like him before?Forget it. She would endure it for the sake of her plan.She closed her eyes and put on the apron before going to the kitchen to cook.Shaun sat in the living room watching TV. He looked back occasionally and saw the busy figure in the kitchen. His heart felt warm.Previously when he was alone here, he had felt that the place was empty and that something was missing. Now, he realized that it was missing a woman.He had never experienced this kind of feeling even when living at the seaside villa. Even though Sarah and Aunty Zara were there, he had never felt this way before.Catherine spent an hour and a half before she was finally done cooking the ribs and meat. She was so tired that her hands were numb and her stomach was growling.Shaun looked over and found that she had cooked a bowl of sweet and sour pork
Shaun’s eyebrows lowered instantly. Seeing Catherine open the door and about to leave, he strode over and grabbed her arm. “If you don’t want to wash the dishes, then don’t wash them. Just say it—”“Shaun Hill, that’s enough. You brought us out of the Snow family tonight, so I cooked for two hours and paid you off for the favor. Besides, I saved you yesterday. It’s my fault for being kind-hearted.”Catherine sneered, “Don’t look for me in the future. I don’t want to painstakingly cook for you and end up being responsible for washing the dishes and cleaning up after you too. I suggest that you call this number if you need something in the future.”She took out her phone and pulled up a contact for him to see.Shaun saw that the number was saved as ‘Housekeeping Agency’.His handsome face suddenly darkened.Catherine reminded sincerely, “Don’t think that all housekeepers are aunties. There are some who are young and unmarried. You can pick any one of them if you see that they’re su
After Catherine returned to Hackett Institute, Freya, who had just taken a shower, immediately ran out and winked. “Let me see if your clothes are intact and if you have hickeys or not. Hey, your clothes are wrinkled and your hair is so messy. You look exhausted as well. Did you two...”She smiled ambiguously.Catherine swept her icy eyes over. “Put away those dirty thoughts. I went to his place and cooked for two hours for him. I have calluses on my hands from chopping so many ribs.”“...”Freya silently looked at her reddened hands and was speechless.Catherine looked like she wanted to cry and complained, “40 pounds of ribs and 40 pounds of meat. I chopped them for ages before putting them in the freezer for him. Then, I cooked him roasted pork, spareribs stew, pork chop with peppers, stir-fried pork, and sweet and sour pork ribs. I had just finished eating when he asked me why I wasn’t doing the dishes. I…”She drank a large glass of water angrily. “By the way, can you believ
Shaun snorted coldly. “That goes without saying.”Hadley’s heart leaped to his chest. He wanted nothing more than to disappear. He could not understand. He was not the only one who had been gossiping. Why was the president only bothering him?“Then answer this question for me.” Shaun knocked on the desk and said in a deep tone, “Catherine… Why did she get angry and leave? Did I really do something wrong? What should I do now?”“...”Hadley realized that the person was Ms. Jones. Gee, Ms. Jones was really pitiful. Why did she run? If he were a woman, he would run too.“President Hill, with all due respect, at present… you should be at the courting stage, right?” Hadley asked carefully.Shaun scoffed and glanced at him. “Do I have to court her? You should know better than anyone what she thinks of me. She has liked me for a long time, but I hurt her in the past and made her feel uncomfortable. However, I’m lowering myself for her.”Hadley laughed dryly. Shaun was a mighty presiden
“Thank you, but I don’t want to be your guinea pig. I’m afraid you’ll poison me.” Catherine had tried his food and it was off-putting.“Let me take you to watch a movie, then.”“No.”Catherine hung up the call straight away. Despite knowing that she should stick to her plan instead of acting this way, she could not help but feel indignant over the incident last night.…Meanwhile, in the president’s office.When he was hung up on, Shaun’s temples twitched. He turned on his laptop but failed to digest any of the words displayed there. When it was 3:00 p.m., he started the car and sped toward the preschool.The security guard at the gate knew him, so he was allowed to go to the door of the class.The kids had just woken up from their nap and were drinking iced pear juice. Suzie was sitting beside a boy in a white shirt. He was reading a book while keeping his head down. She secretly took his juice and sipped on it. The boy raised his head. After that, he furrowed his brows an
