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.
In an instant, more than ten pairs of eyes fell on Catherine. Those girls’ eyes were full of jealousy and envy.Catherine was speechless. It had only been a moment yet he was already attracting the attention of other girls. Even so, he still had the nerve to say that about her.She snapped at him. “I’m not your honey. Don’t speak nonsense. I don’t know you at all.”“Honey, you can shout at me at home. Why do we have to fight outside?” Shaun helplessly let out a bitter smile and took out a document from his pocket. “Fortunately, I brought my marriage license today.”He unfolded it for everyone to see.An old man said, “She really is your wife. Lady, you’re going too far. We were almost cheated by you.”The driver also got angry. “Hurry up and pay for your husband’s fare. The bus isn’t a place for you to have a fight.”Some girls grumbled, “You have such a handsome husband yet you don’t want him. Some people wouldn’t know fortune if it slapped them in the face.”Catherine. “...”
After entering, she asked for the spiciest hotpot and ordered all kinds of tripe, mutton rolls, beef rolls...When the food arrived, she took a piece of tripe and put it in her mouth after swishing it in the hotpot for a while.It was too delicious, too fragrant!Shaun’s expression was as unpleasant as it could be. She was completely focused on her own food and did not look at him at all.If this was in the past, she would definitely have ordered what he liked and then enthusiastically introduced how to best eat it.Now, she no longer thought about him. It was as if she did not see him at all.He suddenly felt a stuffiness in his chest and ordered in a cold voice, “Give me one.”“Don’t you have hands? If you want to eat, then do it yourself.” Catherine did not even raise her head.His temples throbbed, but he had no choice but to pick up the utensils and learn how to cook the meat.After taking a bite, his handsome face turned red from the spiciness and he spat out the words,
When he said that he ‘had no choice’, the words were full of spoiling and helplessness.Chase was speechless. “So, where is she now? She dumped you here after eating?”“Shut up.” Shaun glared at him. He opened the car door and closed his eyes after getting in. He was in so much pain that he did not even want to speak.Chase looked at his pale profile and secretly took a picture of him to send to Catherine’s WhatsApp.[Sister-in-law, Shaun hurt his stomach in order to accompany you to eat hotpot. I’m sending him to the hospital now. Catherine, don’t be mad at him. He doesn’t say it out loud, but he does care about you.]“What picture did you take just now?” Shaun suddenly opened his eyes and snatched Chase’s phone. He read what Chase typed and felt like he had lost his dignity and reputation. “I care about her? I think your head is missing a few screws.”“This is my plan to let her come back and cook for you. It’s the trick of using an injury to win against the enemy.” Chase sighe
