… At night, a business banquet was in progress.Shaun stood on the open-air balcony, under the night sky, with a wine glass in his hand.His deep and gloomy eyes looked through the window at the brilliant and spectacular party inside.He would not have come if the host had not been a partner for many years.He was not at all interested in events like this.If he had not fallen out with Catherine, she might have accompanied him to this banquet. With her, the banquet would not be so boring.Perhaps it was because he had drunk a little, but Shaun’s mind was filled with a ruthless thought.He missed her. He wanted to drag her into his arms tightly and kiss her hard.Suddenly, a man and woman came out. “Hubby, why did you ask me for Nebula’s contact information just now?”“It’s because of Wesley Lyons from Golden Corporation.” The man explained, “He thought that the dress you wore during our wedding was beautiful, so he asked me for Nebula’s contact.”“Why is a man like him goin
On the second-floor window of the villa, Lucas’s nimble little body climbed up to the window and glanced out. “Mommy, Shaun is at the gate again.”These nights, Shaun would always stop his car at the Yule family villa’s entrance, and sometimes, he would only leave after Catherine left for work.Catherine was already used to it.“Don’t mind him. Go to sleep.”Catherine carried Lucas down from the chair and pulled the window shutters, afraid that Shaun’s sharp eyes would see Lucas.“Mommy, if he’s always here, what will happen if he finds out that you’re getting married to Uncle Wesley?” Lucas said worriedly.“He won’t. When the time comes, I’ll have the company declare that I’m on a business trip and will be gone for a few days.” Catherine rubbed his little head to comfort him. “Lucas, will you… mind that Mommy is getting married?”“No. I’m glad that Mommy has finally found someone who will treat you well,” Lucas said seriously. “And Uncle Wesley is very good to Suzie and me. Of
“...Okay.” Shaun gave in.At night, after the nanny gave Suzie a bath, Shaun hugged her to sleep.Although he had not slept much in the past few days, he could not fall asleep when he lay in bed.However, he did not expect Suzie to toss and turn on his chest, not able to sleep either. “Uncle…”“Hm? What’s wrong?” Shaun looked at her gently.Suzie’s heart felt sour. She knew that he was her real father, but she could not tell him that her mommy was about to marry Uncle Wesley in a week.Uncle Wesley was good, but her scummy dad looked so pitiful. She clearly hated him a few days ago, but her heart had turned soft the past few days. She was such a kind little cutie.“Uncle, next week… Daddy will take me out to play for a few days.” In the end, Suzie could not resist reminding him.“That’s good. Liam should take you out to play. I’ll give him two days off.” Shaun did not think too much about it. Suzie’s heart ached, and she dropped another hint. “Daddy’s friend is getting marrie
Hadley was speechless and secretly thought to himself that little miss Suzie really knew how to mash her parents together.If Ms. Jones were to learn about this trick, she might go crazy.“Okay, I’ll check it out.”Hadley had no choice but to call the people in Perth. However, he learned that there was no record of Catherine staying in a hotel.Did Ms. Jones have a private residence there?He called the airport next and found that there was no flight record of Ms. Jones flying to Perth. Instead, he learned that Ms. Jones and Freya flew to Melbourne yesterday.His head suddenly felt a little numb. Why did Ms. Jones go to Melbourne at this time but claimed that she was in Perth for a business trip? Was it because she was doing something secretly in Melbourne, and the reason was to hide it from the Eldest Young Master?Thinking about it, it was highly likely.Just as he was thinking, Shaun called. “Have you booked the ticket?”“No, I… I didn’t find out where Ms. Jones is staying
Shaun was completely caught off guard at the thought that Catherine was suddenly going to marry someone else. At the same time, his heart seemed to be tightly seized by an invisible force, it hurt so much he wished he was dead.It turned out that his feelings for that woman were deeper than he had imagined.He would rather destroy everyone than let her marry another man.As he made his way to her, he kept calling Catherine, but she was simply uncontactable. ............On the other side, in Hill Corporation, when Hadley heard that Shaun was urgently mobilizing a private jet, he hesitated for a long time before uneasily dialing Catherine’s number.“Hadley, what’s wrong?”Hadley smiled bitterly when Catherine’s voice came through. “Ms. Jones, why did you sneak off to Melbourne? He panicked and arranged for a private jet to go over to take care of you.”“Bam.”Freya, the bridesmaid beside Catherine, was so shocked that the high heels in her hands fell to the ground.“Hadley, I
“Oh, I really sympathize with you. You just had to provoke the richest man in the country.” Freya sighed. “Not only can’t you get rid of him and only he can want you, but you also can’t reject him.”A deep disgust flashed in Catherine’s eyes as she listened.She hated men who did not know how to cherish others like Shaun Hill the most.If she could do it all over again, she really did not want to meet him again.............11:00 a.m.The relatives of the Lyons family came one after another to see the bride.Catherine put on her high heels and stood up, and saw Sonya Lyons, Ethan Lowe, and Tracy Steele walk in together.Thinking about it, it had been several years since Ethan and she saw each other. That year, when she left Melbourne, Ethan had to make Tracy his girlfriend in order to help the Lowe family, and they had been together ever since.“Catherine, it’s been a long time.” Ethan looked at her with a complicated gaze.After not having seen her for three years, she had
Ethan’s face darkened at those words but he was chagrined as he thought of the past. “Back then, I… I was cheated by Rebecca. By the way, have you seen Rebecca recently?”Catherine’s expression sank at the mention of that person. “Three years ago, she was in Canberra after undergoing plastic surgery to alter her face for a new appearance, and she disappeared. I always felt that there was someone very powerful helping her from behind.”Ethan showed a trace of uneasiness at her words. “I hope she doesn’t appear again.”“Well, yeah.” Freya lamented. “Sarah alone is enough to give us a headache. It’ll be troublesome if Rebecca appears too.”Catherine frowned. She always thought that Rebecca was more cunning than Sarah, and she had a feeling that Rebecca would definitely appear again.“Cathy, this is my contact. In the future, we’ll be considered relatives.” Ethan bitterly handed her a business card. “I was at fault before and had always hurt you. In the future, if Uncle bullies you, o
Suzie bit her lips and could not help but cry.Lucas looked at her, and his cold face revealed a rare softness. “What’s wrong? You can’t bear to let Mommy go? Don’t worry, Mommy will still love us as much as before.”“Don’t lie to me. Mommy and Uncle Wesley will definitely make younger siblings for us in the future. Mommy won’t love us as much then.”Suzie sniffled and muttered in a low voice, feeling very uncomfortable.Although Uncle Wesley was very good to her, he was not her real Daddy.It was all scummy dad’s fault. Why was he so stupid? She already hinted at him, but he still had not come.Forget it, Mommy was already married. She had to accept the reality.“That won’t happen.” Lucas pursed his thin lips and grabbed her small hand. “Mommy isn’t that kind of person and you’ll always be my little sister. I’ll dote on you.”“Lucas…” Suzie cried again. After living for three years, this was the first time Lucas said such warm words.............After the ceremony, the repo
