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
“Are you done?”Shaun lost his temper. “That’s her reputation. I have no responsibility for it.”“You’ve been with her for over ten years. If not you, then who’s supposed to take responsibility for it?” Rodney asked furiously.For the first time in his life, Shaun felt that his relationship with Sarah made him feel completely drained.He just did not want to marry Sarah. What was so difficult about it?Was he the one who had gotten a man to force himself upon Sarah in the States? Was he the one who made Sarah and Lucifer sleep together?No.“Rodney, if you like her so much, go ahead and marry her. Don’t come to me all the time just to force me.”Shaun strode toward the door as he felt like smoking.After glancing at Sarah’s pale expression, Rodney could not help but follow Shaun out. He gripped Shaun’s arm and whispered, “Do you think that I don't want to marry her? The thing is, she’s only in love with you. You’re the one she wants to be with. Shaun, you can’t pass her to s
When Catherine was preparing breakfast for Suzie and Freya in the kitchen, Freya shouted from outside all of a sudden.Then, Freya walked into the kitchen with her phone. “Cathy, I’m going to show you something. Don’t be mad.”Catherine grabbed the phone and looked at it. Today’s news headline was ‘Sarah Injured, Young Master Hill Immediately Rushed To The Hospital. Their Break-up Rumors Quashed.’When she clicked open the video, the reporter gave a detailed explanation of the news.“Young Master Hill and Sarah’s wedding was canceled all of a sudden previously, and there was no news about it later. Rumors about their break-up had been spreading like wildfire. However, our reporter, who kept watch at the hospital last night, happened to learn that Sarah was admitted to the hospital. Shortly after, Young Master Hill rushed to the hospital with a somber look, probably because he was worried about Sarah’s condition. It wasn’t until seven o’clock in the morning that our reporter saw You
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
