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
Shaun stared at Hadley grimly.Hadley was speechless.What had he done wrong? All he was asking for was a signature. Indeed, being Eldest Young Master Hill’s assistant was getting tougher.“Pass me the document.”Shaun slowly opened his mouth while giving him a death stare.Hadley handed it to him. It was only after Shaun signed it that Hadley said, “By the way, there’s one more thing, Eldest Young Master Hill. You’ve made the news for visiting Sarah in the hospital last night.”Hadley clicked open the news and showed it to Shaun. “Now that you’re pursuing Ms. Jones, I think if she sees this piece of news, she might feel… some disappointment.”“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”After Shaun watched the video, his face turned grim straight away. “Which reporter is it?”“It’s the reporter from Sun Weekly. The news organization always reports trivial matters that happen in society. There are always reporters keeping watch in the hospital.”Shaun gritted his teeth. “I’m giving you
“Shaunic, I’m not feeling well. Let’s talk about it sometime later.” Once Sarah caught sight of the title deed in the folder, she had a sinking feeling deep down. She quickly feigned feeling unwell and lay down.“Sarah, stop running away from it.” Shaun did not feel like dragging the matter on anymore, so he acted ruthlessly. “This is the title deed to the seaside villa. Also, I’ll compensate you with one duplex apartment and ten commercial properties. Here’s a card with 100 billion dollars inside, which is enough for you to live a luxurious life.”“Stop it. I won’t break up with you.” Sarah spilled the glass of hot water beside her in agitation and consequently burned her hand. “Miss Neeson…” Yael was so shocked that she immediately pressed the bell to call the doctor over.“My hand hurts. It hurts so badly.” Sarah began to cry in pain.Yael advised Shaun, “Eldest Young Master Hill, Miss Neeson hasn’t recovered yet. Why must you provoke her at this time?”If this had happened b
