“I might stay a few nights here in the future. Naturally, I’m allowed to come visit whenever I want.” Elder Lyons suddenly pointed at the front with his walking stick. “Hey, why is there water flowing out?”Wesley’s face fell. Sonya gave a shriek of surprise.“It looks like the house is flooded.”Wesley noticed it too. He turned to face Catherine with a stern expression. “Why is there water all over the place?”Builder John stuttered, “We… We have no idea. The tap was left running since last night…”Sonya covered her mouth as she gasped. “What do you mean you have no idea? You all have been given full responsibility for the renovation process yet now you’re trying to shift the blame? Oh goodness, can you still save the house? I hope the water didn’t seep through the walls.”Elder Lyons stomped the walking stick on the ground. “What low-quality company have you hired? Hurry up and call the police.”All color drained off Builder John’s face, and he looked as if he was about to kne
Wesley was not a fool. Last night, Sonya had suddenly returned to the Lyons’ residence. Then somehow, Elder Lyons had suddenly proposed to come to his villa to see the progress of the renovation.“Miss Jones, this matter was caused by my side and has nothing to do with you, so you can go back first. Once the villa is re-examined, I’ll contact you if we decide to continue with the renovation,” Wesley explained in a warm voice.“Certainly. I believe you, President Lyons. At the same time, I also have deep sympathy for President Lyons.” Catherine nodded and left with John.In the villa, Elder Lyons was still bewildered until Wesley went over and said, “Dad, I’ll send you home.”When he got into the car, he turned around and said to Sonya, “Sis, tell Ethan to come to my office.”Sonya was stunned. How smart was her younger brother? He already knew everything...Half an hour later.In the president of Golden Corporation’s office.Ethan knocked on the door with apprehension. He never
Before long, Ethan’s father called in anger.“You useless son, what the hell did you do? Even your uncle was offended and Golden Corporation withdrew all their funds. Get back here this instant.”...The next morning, Catherine received a call from Wesley.“Do you have time to have lunch together? I want to talk to you about the villa.”“Sure.”“I’ll pick you up in my car,” Wesley said in a soft voice, “I’m afraid you won’t know the way to the restaurant.”Catherine could only go along with his arrangement.At noon sharp, Wesley’s car appeared downstairs.She got in, and Wesley handed her a cup of milk tea. “I’m sorry, you were wronged yesterday.”The milk tea was not expensive, so Catherine took it without reservations.“After being backstabbed by a relative, I believe that you’re not feeling too good either, President Lyons.”“You’re really smart.” Wesley’s eyes were full of bitterness, but there was sincere appreciation in his voice. “Ethan has really disappointed me. He
Ahhhhhhhh were the heavens playing a trick on her?Ethan’s uncle liked her, but she had married the wrong person!She was riddled with scars. How would she be in the mood to move on to another relationship?“I… I’m sorry, Mr. Lyons. I… I only think of you as a friend.”“I’m glad that you do.” Ethan was a little disheartened, but he continued to smile. “It’s okay. I didn’t confess to you because I wanted you to accept me. I just want you to understand my feelings so I can pursue you.”Catherine felt her head throb. “But I have no intention of dating now. I want to focus on my work.”“I can wait for you. Alright, let’s sit down and order first.” Wesley gentlemanly pulled out a chair for her.Catherine was helpless and could only lower her head and order her meal....At the intersection outside the window of the restaurant, a Ferrari was waiting for the red light.Sitting in the passenger seat was Shaun Hill, whose dark eyes suddenly hardened when he took a glance outside.“Tu
His good looks were undeniable, but his temper… Forget it, it was off-putting.However, why was he here? Catherine instantly had the urge to pick up her bag and flee.“Mr. Hill, Young Master Harrison.” Wesley stood up in surprise and shook hands with the two.However, when he reached out to shake Shaun’s hand, Shaun simply looked at him lazily with his long lashes.A few seconds passed and Wesley started to feel embarrassed. Just as he thought Shaun would not shake his hand, the man extended his hand and shook it. “Sorry, I’m not in a good mood today.”Wesley had dealt with Shaun Hill several times before, especially when he planned to ask Shaun to take on a commercial lawsuit for him. The talks initially went well, but later the law firm said that he was not available.To be honest, he was feeling a little discontented with Shaun Hill.However, Shaun was a legendary figure in the lawyer world. Since he had a good reputation, Wesley had to show him some respect. Perhaps there mi
Could he say no? It had not been easy for him to get a reservation here.Catherine. “...”Could she refuse? It was too hard to face Shaun’s demonic face.“You two… don’t seem too welcoming of that idea. Are we disturbing you?” Shaun looked at them, his voice deep and magnetic.“No, please join us.” Wesley then asked the waiter to bring the menu over.With four people at the table, the space grew cramped with the bouquet of roses on the table. Catherine reached out to put the roses by her side, but Shaun was quicker than her and handed the bouquet to the waiter.“Take this away. I’m allergic to pollen.”Catherine wondered if she had heard him wrongly. She had never seen him getting allergic reactions when she bought flowers to decorate the vases at home. He must be doing this on purpose.“I didn’t know you’re allergic to pollen, Mr. Hill.” Wesley was barely able to force a laugh.“Yes, I’m especially allergic to pink flowers.” Shaun calmly opened the menu and ordered leisurel
Shaun pinched the cigarette between his fingers and took a hard drag. Smoke lingered as he exhaled.He put out the cigarette butt in the trash can beside him and walked toward her with long strides.“Come with me.”He dragged her to the other side of the restaurant.Catherine was pulled by him behind a hallway of wine cabinets.The light inside was dim, and the man’s face exuded an invisible sense of danger as he looked at her from above.“What are you doing?” Catherine pushed his chest but could not get him to budge.“You took the words right out of my mouth.” Shaun grabbed her hand, his face dark. “Are you having a good time with Wesley Lyons? Did you forget that you’re married? It’s no wonder you keep trying to divorce me. You’ve already found your next target, haven’t you?”“Shaun Hill, watch your words.” Catherine trembled in anger at the humiliation. “There’s nothing going on between Wesley and me—”“Would he send you flowers if there’s nothing going on between you? Woul
Catherine hurriedly hung up. When she met Shaun’s eyes again, she felt her entire body turning red like a tomato.Shaun also noticed this and was inexplicably happy for a few moments. His sexy lips curled. “Do you have a stomachache?”Catherine glared at him, growing increasingly ashamed. “I can’t be bothered with you. In any case, if you don’t want me to cuckold you, I suggest you divorce me soon.”“You dare threaten me?” Shaun grabbed her again, his tone cold. “Catherine Jones, if you dare to cuckold me, I’ll make you pay a painful price.”Catherine was not afraid at all.“I know you’re a lawyer and there are a hundred ways to make me lose my reputation, but it’s useless against me. My reputation was ruined a long time ago, and the law doesn’t stipulate that cheating in a marriage is illegal, right?“There are no properties we acquired after marriage, so there’s nothing to dispute. I have no money and no reputation. What can you do to me?”She raised her eyebrows triumphantly.
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
