Rodney did not know what to say.“Damn you. Did I wrong you in my past life?” Freya could not hold back and cursed in a low voice, “You’ll be the death of me.”“What did they do?” Rodney became even more uneasy.Freya was just about to speak when a large hand snatched her phone away.Shaun said, “She’s in the hospital. Come here and send her home.”“Shaun…”“Negative press about Eric Hatch has broken out. How you seize this opportunity to get rid of your opponent will depend on you. On top of that, you should take this as a lesson. If you have someone who’s a great advantage to the company, you should keep an eye out for their safety.”Shaun hung up the call and threw the phone at Freya before he turned around to accompany Catherine again. 20 minutes later, the blood test report came out.The doctor confirmed that they were fine and only needed to have a good night’s rest. They would be able to regain their strength tomorrow.When Shaun heard that, he immediately picked Cath
“Shut up. I work out a lot, okay?” Rodney scoffed.On the way back, soft music was playing in the car.Due to the incense she had inhaled earlier, Freya could no longer hold up her eyelids any longer.Once they arrived at Brighton Gardens, Rodney turned on the lights and turned around to find that she had fallen asleep. Her thick long hair covered half her face, and the remaining half revealed her glazed white skin under the light. She was usually sharp-tongued, but at that moment, she was like a gentle and harmless kitten, delicate and soft.He hesitated before he took out a blanket from the trunk to cover her. Then, he sat in the front to read the news on his phone.… Hackett Institute.Shaun put the sleeping Catherine on the large bed in the bedroom.She could not keep her eyelids open and fell asleep on the way back.After Shaun watched her quietly for a while, he turned to get a basin of water and gently took off her clothes. When he saw the scars on her body, his handso
“I’m not…”Catherine struggled for a long time but did not break free. Instead, she could feel the man’s gaze getting hotter and hotter.She was more than familiar with the progression of events, and suddenly, she did not dare to breathe. “Let me go. Don’t do anything rash.”“I really want to do something rash. How long do you want me to wait?” Shaun flipped her over, placing his strong arms on her sides. His burning breath fell onto her face.“How long have you waited? It has only been a few days.” Catherine turned away in disapproval. She was so flustered that she dared not look him in the eye.However, she did not know that her posture was revealing her graceful and slender neck.“Cathy, we’re an old married couple.”Shaun turned her face and dominantly kissed her red lips.“No…”Catherine struggled.Despite that, the man was extremely strong, and he knew her very well.Besides, knowing from Yael that he had not done it with Sarah over the years, she was not as revolted b
Shaun hissed in pain, but his eyes and tone were bitter. “You praised another man.”Catherine was speechless. “Did I say anything wrong? I used to think that Rodney was useless except for his looks, but it turns out he has strong points too.”“He has scolded you before…” Shaun gritted his teeth and reminded her. What was more depressing than to wake up and hear the woman he liked praise another man?“Have you scolded me any less?” Catherine reminded him. “You better not say that others are bad, or I’ll bring up old scores again.”“...”Shaun silently buried her handsome face in her neck. “Babe, I’m hungry.”Catherine chuckled. “What a coincidence. I’m hungry, too. I didn’t eat breakfast, and now my body is all weak.”“...I’ll cook for you.”Shaun resigned himself and rubbed her little face. “But it may not be as good as yours. Don’t shun it.”“If you really can’t, then just cook eggs. I’ll teach you.” Catherine sighed helplessly.Under Catherine’s guidance, they had a simple
Shaun was startled by the anger in her eyes. “I just gently patted…”“I don’t care. You hit me. You men just don’t know how to cherish others. I just slept with you in the morning, and you bullied me in the afternoon. I’m ignoring you. Go away.” Catherine’s eyes were red. She was originally just pretending, but after thinking about it, she felt aggrieved too.The proud Shaun too became a little angry at being driven away like this, but when he saw her red eyes, he immediately panicked and picked her up carefully. “Babe, I was wrong. Don’t be angry. You can hit me back, okay?”“I don’t want to hit your stinky *ss.” Catherine looked away. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and her mouth pouted, making her look as cute as possible.Shaun’s heart melted. He grabbed her hand and patted it on his face. “Is this okay?”“No, it’s too light.” Catherine lowered her eyes and snorted.“Like this?” Shaun grabbed her hand again and heavily slapped himself twice.If others saw this sce
“What’s wrong?” Shaun was puzzled.“Nothing. I just don’t want to hear about Sarah and you.”Catherine turned her face away purposefully.“Sorry.” Shaun turned her body and kissed her overbearingly and fondly. “Babe, I’m incredibly sure now. I love you.”She was a little dazed by his kiss and hung her arms around his neck.She originally planned to go to the company but did not make it in the end.The next day, when Shaun drove her out, she made him stop at the door.“What are you doing?” He glanced at her sideways. He had to say that women did need to be nourished sometimes. After yesterday, he felt as if she was even more beautiful and delicate, like a rose in full bloom.“Buying something.”Catherine unfastened her seat belt and got out of the car, and went to the pharmacy. She asked for a box of contraceptives and drank a glass of water before coming out.“What did you buy?” Shaun suddenly stared at her, his handsome face slightly dark.Catherine blinked and took out the
Catherine, who was eating chocolate, almost choked. What the hell. Was this guy possessed by a husky?However, she smiled silly as she looked at the conversation.When she finally came about, the corners of her mouth stiffened.............At night, in a bar.Catherine sat on a barstool next to Logan, who was in a trench coat.“It must have been a hard trip to Neah Bay. How was the investigation?” Catherine opened a beer bottle and pushed it over.“This kind of thing is confidential and usually won’t be disclosed.” Logan took a sip of beer and said smugly, “But who am I? I spent some time there and finally got wind of something. There really were a bunch of guys there who came to the country. At that time, a young and handsome man from Australia went over there personally and spent a lot of money to hire them.”“Is there a photo?”“Nope.”Under her gaze that seemed to say ‘you’re so useless’, Logan was offended and explained, “Come on. Although that is the most chaotic place
Catherine woke up the next day with a slightly upset stomach due to the few pints of beer she had last night.When she got up and washed her face, she received a call from Shaun. His voice was low. “Where did you go last night?”“I had something to do with a friend…”“Is that something drinking at a bar with him?” Shaun gritted his teeth and said gloomily, “Go read the news about yourself, Ms. Jones. I’ll reach your place in ten minutes. You better give me an explanation.”Then, he hung up.Catherine was shocked and used her phone to search for her news. The latest one was: [Yule Corporation’s heir talking and laughing with her mysterious boyfriend, behaving intimately.]The photo was of Logan and blurred figures of hers in the bar. “......”She narrowed her eyes and rubbed her brows. Fortunately, Logan’s face was not exposed, otherwise, it would be troublesome. After all, Logan was the only assistant she could trust completely.These reporters really had nothing better to do
