“Aunty Cathy, do you know what’s this sweet stuff? That way, I can feel the sweetness in my heart next time too.” Suzie looked at Catherine in confusion. “I have no idea. I’m not as knowledgeable, sentimental, and unfaithful as Uncle Shaun,” Catherine teased him before she lowered her head and continued eating the steak pizza.Shaun took a glass of water and sipped it sulkily.When was he unfaithful?As the head of the Hill family, apart from Catherine, he had only been in a relationship with Sarah in his life. What was more, he had only ever been intimate with Catherine.…After finishing the meal, the three of them headed to the theater. Shaun was carrying Suzie on his shoulder, while Catherine was holding Suzie’s jacket.To other kids, the three of them looked like a family.When they were waiting outside the theater’s lobby, a lot of kids were standing there. Some came with either their fathers or mothers. They all looked at Suzie admiringly.“Mommy, that little girl is
Suzie nodded, assuming that what Shaun said was true. Catherine was speechless. All of a sudden, she noticed that Shaun’s hand was placed at the back of her seat.She glared at him, yet he said with a straight face, “My shoulder hurts, so I’m stretching my arm.”“...”Catherine turned her eyes to the screen as she could not be bothered about him. However, the animated movies for kids were really very boring. Only Suzie was engrossed in the movie.Catherine lowered her head. She switched on her phone to play some games.After Shaun glanced at her account and region, his hand landed on her shoulder. As she was wearing a thin silk dress, he could feel her delicate and soft shoulder blade.“Shaun…” Catherine looked up and glared at him.Shaun withdrew his touch embarrassedly. Then, he took the cup of grapefruit juice that was placed between them and sipped on it.“That’s mine.” Annoyed, Catherine took a deep breath. “It doesn’t matter,” Shaun moved closer to her and whispered
Catherine rubbed her forehead. “There’s not enough space in my house to put all these clothes…”“Leave them in Zion Residence, then. When you come over to stay, you won’t have to bring your clothes,” Shaun replied in a self-righteous manner as if… the two of them were in an official relationship.Catherine was absolutely speechless at the sight of his shameless expression. “May I know why I should stay there?”“If you don’t come and stay in my place, whose place are you planning to stay in? I won’t allow you to stay in any other men’s houses,” Shaun said in a domineering and provocative way.Nevertheless, Catherine did not have the energy to argue with him anymore.Since he wanted to spend money on her, she would let him be. Anyway, she was the one who would decide whether or not to stay in his place.Just like that, Shaun ended up buying over 100 sets of clothes for Catherine, who initially just wanted to get a pair of jeans.Shaun wrote the address of Zion Residence in the for
Shaun’s expression changed. “Go and call the ambulance to send Sarah to the hospital. I’m coming back now.” Upon ending the call, he pressed on the accelerator as far as it would go and soon arrived at the entrance of Hackett Institute. “I’ll leave Suzie with you here tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll come and pick her up in the morning.”At this point, Suzie had already fallen asleep in Catherine’s arms.Catherine narrowed her eyes. When she gazed at Suzie’s pure and sweet appearance, her heart suddenly ached.Just now, this little kid had actually said that her scummy dad was quite nice, so she wanted Catherine to get back together with him. Nevertheless, he was now abandoning them without hesitation to meet another woman.“Now that she’s so heavy, do you think I can carry her upstairs from the entrance of this neighborhood alone?” Catherine gave a sarcastic laugh.Shaun was stunned and answered without a second thought, “I’ll carry her upstairs, then.” “Shaun, why are you rushing to
Catherine’s words made Shaun feel at ease all of a sudden.Despite knowing that he had a change of heart, he had still felt swamped by guilt all because of his promise from back then. After Sarah returned, she managed to cure his illness, but he could not bring himself to do it with her. Nevertheless, Catherine was right.Shaun and Sarah were merely in a relationship and they had never slept together. Previously, Shaun sincerely wished to marry Sarah. If it were not for Lucifer’s appearance, he would have ended up marrying Sarah. He admitted that Sarah was pitiful, but he was not the one who contributed to her heartbreaking past.Catherine then continued, “I’m not an unreasonable person anyway. If there were no one by Sarah’s side, it’d be fine with me if you wanted to go and help her since you’re her ex-boyfriend. But someone’s with her now and Sarah’s brother is in Canberra. If you plan to go there, I won’t give you a second chance.”With that, she opened the car door and dir
Shaun suddenly took out a bunch of keys from his pocket. “These are the keys to a duplex apartment on the top floor of Brighton Gardens. This furnished apartment is 240 square meters. Move there and it’s yours from today onward.”“...”Freya was dumbfounded.Although she had not returned to Canberra for years, she knew that Brighton Gardens was one of the most expensive apartments in Canberra. Considering that it was situated downtown, every inch of land was worth a fortune.Shaun actually offered her an apartment just like that?“Do you want it?” Shaun asked her.“Yes!”Freya took the keys, thinking that it would be a waste to reject the scumbag’s offer. “I’ll move out tomorrow.” “Mm.”Shaun nodded with satisfaction. After that, he entered the elevator and left. At last, he had managed to kick this third wheel out.…After Freya opened the door and stepped into the house, she quickly ran to Catherine. She showed off the keys, saying, “Damn. Just now, Eldest Young Master Hi
Zion Residence.Once Shaun saw the kiss emoji, he felt a surge of excitement inside him. His Adam’s apple bobbed, causing him discomfort for some inexplicable reason.He lay down, imagining Catherine kissing him.At that moment, he suddenly sat up on the bed and messaged Catherine four words: [I want it tomorrow.] Then, he ran to the bathroom to take a cold shower.He had never been aroused by Sarah despite being with her for a long time. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that a simple emoji from Catherine would make him burn with excitement. He gave a bitter laugh.When he came out of the bathroom, his phone rang again.Yael called him. “Eldest Young Master Hill, aren’t you coming? Miss Neeson is crying in the hospital. She refuses to get bandaged.”Shaun was somehow annoyed. “It’s her body, not mine!”Yael panicked when he screamed at her. “But Miss Neeson really needs you now, Eldest Young Master Hill. These days when you haven’t been around, she hasn’t been able to
“Shaunic, I miss you so badly.” Sarah nestled in Shaun’s arms, her tears wetting his shirt. “I’ve been reflecting on myself these days. I was too silly and foolish. I swear that I won’t wrong you anymore. Come back to me. I really miss you.”Shaun narrowed his eyes and carried her to the bed. After that, he turned around and said to the doctor outside, “Come in and treat her.”“No. If you don’t promise me, I won’t get treated.” Sarah struggled in agitation.At the sight of her expression, Shaun’s eyes flashed with annoyance. His handsome face slowly revealed a sense of sternness. “Enough. Stop using your body to threaten me.”He had no idea why Sarah had become so impudent and unreasonable. She was even threatening him now, which was the tactic he hated most.It was his first time using such a grim tone to speak to Sarah. After being dazed for a moment, she began to weep more. “I hate to behave like this too. I hate what kind of a person I am now, but what can I do? Do I just allo
