“Babe, why is your cooking so delicious?” Shaun lamented again. “I want to eat it for the rest of my life.”“Yeah. You once had the chance to eat it for the rest of your life, but you drove me away.” Catherine got up and collected the plates. “Go back. It’s late.”When she turned around, Shaun came up from behind and tightened his arms around her waist.“I don’t want to go back. I want to stay. I can sleep on the sofa.”“Shaun, I’m not any other woman,” Catherine said solemnly. “When I slept with you before, what I got in return was your disrespect and birth control pills. This time, I want to love myself more. I don’t want to give myself away so easily.”Shaun was speechless. It was his fault for having done so many scummy things.If he knew that this day existed, he would have gone back in time and punched himself a few times.In the past, he had never cherished sleeping with her. Yet now, he could not even sleep with her even if he wanted to. “Okay, I’ll go. But I want a ki
“That woman went back?” Shaun sat beside Chester. “Chester, are you going to keep tolerating that woman? I’ve never had much of an impression of Cindy, but after tonight, I found that she really isn't great. She’s not worthy of you.”“There are some things that can’t be helped.” Chester took a sip of wine. His eyes were deep. “What about you? Are you really getting back with Catherine?”“Yeah.” Shaun was in a good mood tonight. Of course, it might be better if he did not meet Cindy halfway.Chester looked at him worriedly. “Have you ever thought about whether Catherine sincerely wants to be with you or… to get revenge on you?”The happy and handsome face immediately froze. Shaun put down his wine glass, and a frosty sharpness flashed in his eyes.If it were anyone else, they might have been afraid. However, Chester had known him since they were children, so he understood him. He continued with a straight face, “Think about what you did to her in the past because of Sarah. You put
Catherine looked down, and the corners of her mouth raised. Although she should feel embarrassed, she had used this trick before when they used to live in Melbourne together.Heh. He acted as if he had never seen a woman before.“Fine.”She half-bit her pink lips and went back to the bedroom to wash up. Then, she came out after she had changed her clothes.Shaun sat at the dining table with the breakfast he bought from a famous breakfast restaurant.“I asked the best chef in Forkful to cook you this breakfast. There are waffles, avocado toast, breakfast wrap, french toast…” Shaun listed them one by one.Catherine could tell they were delicious just by smelling the aroma.Hence, she picked up a fork and started to eat. After eating for a while, she found that Shaun had not moved. “Aren’t you eating?”“I don’t have an appetite.” Shaun was telling the truth. He was not very interested in anything other than her homemade food. “That won’t do. You have to eat breakfast. I’ll feed
“But…” Catherine changed the topic. “There’s someone I want to teach a lesson to. If you don’t let me vent my anger, I’ll have doubts about your feelings.”“Who?”“Yael Chadwick.” Catherine slowly spat out the two words. Her tone sounded like she was gritting her teeth.Shaun was shocked, but he immediately frowned. “How did Yael offend you? Is it because I asked her to protect Sarah…”“No.” Catherine glared at him with hatred. “The day you made me sign the divorce agreement, didn’t you let Yael search for the marriage certificate on me? But she stripped my clothes in front of other Liona men. If Hadley hadn’t spoken up, she would’ve stripped my pants. I will never forget this shame.”Shaun’s black eyes were slightly cold.Things were very chaotic that day. All he remembered was that he had gone out and only came in after hearing Hadley and Yael’s voices. However, he saw that Catherine was well and fully clothed at that time…“What do you mean? You don’t believe me?” Catherine g
Hadley looked up in surprise. It seemed like Ms. Jones was settling her old scores. If it were him, he would be unhappy as well. “I can’t say either. That time, I saw Yael take off Ms. Jones’s coat, revealing the straps inside. She lifted her clothes, and many areas were… exposed. I only stopped her when she was about to take off Ms. Jones’s pants. But Yael thought I was doubting her for doing a bad job at searching, so she wanted me to do it instead. That was when you came in.”Shaun clenched his fists and stared at Irving and Roy. “Tell the truth.”Irving was so scared that he blurted out, “It is as Assistant Young says.”“So… Yael was trying to take off Catherine’s pants\?” Shaun narrowed his eyes.Roy nervously choked on his saliva. “Yael said that she was afraid Catherine Jones was hiding it inside her pants…”Before he could finish, Shaun threw him a fierce punch.Irving and Roy were beaten black and blue, but no one dared to fight back or make a peep.“So you saw everythi
“You really investigated it?” Catherine scoffed. “It seems like you really didn’t believe me.”Shaun could not find the words to reply to her.He was exasperated. He completely understood what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.“As expected. The internet said that if a dominant president falls in love with me, I can say anything, and he’ll choose to believe me unconditionally. But it turns out to be false.” Catherine sighed quietly. “It’s understandable. You used to believe whatever Sarah told you, but you never believed anything I said. If it were Sarah, everything would be different.”“I’m sorry…” Shaun’s heart moved.Yes. Every time she fought with Sarah, he would always choose to believe Sarah unconditionally. However, after this time, he realized there were perhaps times that he had misunderstood her in the past.Maybe Sarah lied as well. After all, he did not expect Yael to do something like this as he was right outside the door that day.“I’m coming down. I’ll take my
“It’s fine. I know you were just listening to orders.” Catherine glanced at Shaun. “Why did you beat him up like that? Weren’t they just heeding your orders?”“...”Shaun’s heart hurt from all the holding in, but he did not dare to say a word because she was right.Irving looked at Shaun’s defeated expression, and his jaw almost fell to the ground in astonishment. This was his first time seeing Eldest Young Master Hill so obedient to a woman. Not even Sarah had received this kind of treatment before. It seemed like he had to respect Ms. Jones in the future.“Eldest Young Master, Yael is in the punishment room.” Roy also ran over, trembling. His bum was beaten until it bled, and it was still hurting. “Okay.”Shaun took Catherine and walked in.… In the punishment room.Yael was brought here as soon as she was called back. Her phone was taken away immediately, and the uneasy feeling in her heart grew more and more.“Get out of the way. I need to go to the hospital,” Yael said
“Well… I’m Shaun’s girlfriend. Isn’t your tone now disrespectful to me? Or is it because I’m not Sarah, so you hate me and treat me with hostility. You even looked down on Elle for protecting me. Maybe you’ve protected Sarah for so long that you now see her as your true master?” Catherine raised her eyebrows. She had hit the nail on the head.“No.” Yael’s face went pale.In Liona, the most taboo act was disloyalty to the Hill family, and the consequences to that were very serious. “Ms. Jones, why are you slandering me like this? I have no grudge against you. I’m just a lowly bodyguard.”“You’re a member of Liona, so you’re not as simple as a bodyguard. You think too little of yourself.” Catherine smiled and asked Shaun, “May I be so bold as to ask you a question? How long has Yael protected Sarah?”Shaun frowned. “Including the time before Sarah disappeared, around seven or eight years.”“Seems like she has been protecting Sarah since she was very young.” Catherine pointed out.Y
