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
Shaun was clearly upset, but why did Catherine not comfort him softly, or explain herself?As long as she begged him and promised not to go out with the opposite sex in the future, he could force himself to forgive her.However, this woman’s attitude was really too cold.“Catherine Jones, I don’t think you realize it, but since you’re my woman, it’s not that easy to break up. I’ll throw you away if I don’t want you, but it’s impossible for you to initiate a breakup.”Then, he slammed the door and left.In the room, Catherine called Logan helplessly. “You were photographed by a reporter. Hide for now and don’t show your face. I’ll contact you if something happens.”The next day, Shaun did not contact her.She went to the Yule family villa to accompany Lucas. When she arrived, Lucas was fiddling with a Lego Star Wars set.“Did Grandpa buy this for you?” Catherine looked at the box. It was a limited edition, so it should be quite expensive.“Uncle Wesley gave it to me. He came to
“Maybe you’re right…” Joel was taken aback by her words for a while and sighed sorrowfully.Catherine saw him hesitated and said, “Dad, if you can’t let go, leave this matter to me. After everything that has happened, don’t you understand? You value affection too much. Your guilt to Nicola, your brotherly love for Damien, and your love for Grandma and Grandpa. If it weren’t for all those, would you and my mom fall to where you are today? Tell me honestly. Are you happy?”Joel smiled bitterly. How could he be happy? Ever since finding out that Melanie was not his child, he regretted every moment.Those people treated him like a fool and hurt him and there were no sincere apologies at all.“Okay, Cathy. I’ll leave this to you.” Joel nodded. “I’ll hand over all my rights to you.”“Dad, when you start a new company, you can still open up new frontiers with a group of people who are loyal to you.”Catherine reminded him. “But don’t make this public. Otherwise, Grandma and Grandpa will
“You have her WhatsApp?” Shaun narrowed his eyes at Hadley. “And you chatted with her privately?”“......”Hadley flushed. “As your assistant, I added Ms. Jones’s WhatsApp for your own good. For example, when you’re upset, I can ask her to comfort you.”“But I’m not comforted by her now.” Shaun snorted coldly. “Did she tell you that she was going to Hobart?”“She mentioned it, but I…”“I know. She wants to tell me about this matter using your mouth.” Shaun scoffed. “She thinks that I’d become anxious if she leaves Canberra. She can dream on.”Hadley was speechless.He seriously suspected that President Hill was thinking too much.“Book me a plane ticket right now. I’m going to Hobart tonight.” Shaun suddenly ordered.“You’re going to… chase after Ms. Jones?” Hadley was stunned and taken off guard by the change of heart.“Of course not. I’m going to buy porcelain.” Shaun got up and packed up his stuff.Hadley wanted to cry. It was already so late, yet he had to accompany Shau
