Cate, “…”
Booking out the entire cinema for a movie… As expected of a big shot, or perhaps he just did not want others to see him at the movies with her.
Half an hour later, Shaun took her to the movie hall in Northern Sky Mall. The general manager of the cinema personally received them and took them to the VIP couple’s hall.
Cate picked an action movie because a male celebrity she liked was in it. She was supposed to watch it together with Mireya.
During the movie, Shaun placed her on his chest. Cate’s back felt uncomfortable after a long time, but Shaun did not notice it. His phone rang twice and she noticed that the first call was from Melanie while the other was from Old Madam Lyons.
He muted the phone and threw it in his pocket. Bowing his head, he asked her, “You like these kinds of movies?”
“I guess.” She actually liked the feeling of watching a movie with many people in the cinema.
“I’ll accompany you often whenever I’m free.” Shaun’s fingers squeezed her waist gently. “Does it still hurt?”
Cate thought he wanted to do it tonight and stiffened. “I still need another month, at least.”
Shaun lowered his eyes and looked deeply at her. “You don’t have to remind me. The doctor already told me. I’m asking because Doctor Lyles said you were in pain today.”
“I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt now,” Cate said honestly.
Shaun felt upset and could only pull her to his lap. He kissed her softly and spoke with a gentle tone, “I promise you, I’ll never do that again.”
“Mmh.”
Cate did not believe him. Some types of damage were impossible to erase.
After the movie, Shaun took her back to New Metropolis Park.
She could not help but ask, “You’ve left for a week. Aren’t you going back to the old residence?”
“No.”
He refused decisively. After taking a shower, he fell asleep not long after lying in bed. It was clear from his furrowed brows that he had been very tired these days.
Cate turned on her phone. An article on the news showed a photograph of Shaun returning home with Liam. Liam had gotten off the plane on a stretcher and seemed to currently be in a hospital. Rumor had it that he was injured.
…
Two days later, Cate found out which hospital Liam was in.
She visited him with some gifts and flowers.
After not seeing him for half a month, Liam had become more tanned and thin. His forehead was wrapped in gauze, and he was playing games in bed to cure his boredom. When he saw her come in, he raised his hand to greet her, “Wait, I’m going to win this one soon.”
Cate sat down and waited for a while. When he put down his phone, she finally asked, “Are you playing PUBG?”
“Do you want to play too? Add me as a friend.” Shaun grinned, showing off his two rows of white teeth.
Cate told him her ID and the two added each other as friends. Then, she said with difficulty, “I read the news and heard that something happened to you in Country F…”
“Yeah, I was caught by the mob.” Liam smiled bitterly. “I starved for a few days and even got injured.”
“I’m sorry.” Cate felt guilty. If he had not helped her, he would not have angered Shaun.
“What are you apologizing for?” Liam laughed. “I was just unlucky.”
“Liam, are you better today?”
At the door, Lea and Mason entered together. Cate did not expect to meet them and hurriedly got up. Her gaze could not help but linger on Mason. Was he Shaun’s stepfather? He looked quite gentle and elegant.
“Why are you here?” Lea frowned when she saw Cate.
“Mom, you know her?” Liam smiled. “She’s the one I told you about before, the one whose car was tampered with and she almost died. But in the end, she took a bold and calm approach which saved her life. Her name is Cate Cox.”
“Oh.” Lea rarely saw her son praise a woman like this. She frowned.
“Uncle, Aunty, I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll leave now.” Cate did not want to stay. She left after greeting them.
Lea asked bluntly, “Liam, do you like her?”
Liam’s eyes flashed as he bowed his head. “A little, but she has a boyfriend.”
Lea was stunned and dissatisfied. “She’s just the illegitimate daughter of the Yule family and isn’t worthy of you. Besides, I saw that she’s acquainted with Chester Jewell as well. You should know very well how flirtatious Chester is.”
“Mom, Cate isn’t that kind of person. Don’t just call her an illegitimate daughter. To put it bluntly, I was also an illegitimate child in the past,” Liam retorted in discontent.
“You…” Lea’s chest heaved with anger.
“Alright, stop arguing,” Mason said gently, “Didn’t you say Liam should find someone he likes to be his girlfriend so he doesn’t follow in your footsteps?”
Lea sighed. “I’m just afraid he’ll be deceived. Shaun is going to marry Melanie. If you get together with the illegitimate daughter of the Yule family, you’ll be suppressed by Shaun for the rest of your life, understand?”
Liam froze. “Shaun is going to marry Melanie?”
“It seems your grandparents want to arrange a marriage for him, mainly because you recently had an accident in Country F and his reputation was damaged. Joel Yule is a prominent figure in the country, so Shaun can save his reputation by marrying Joel’s daughter.”
Lea had just finished speaking when she suddenly heard Mason say, “Ms. Cox, why did you come back?”
They turned to look at the door and found that Cate had been standing there for who knew how long. Her face was slightly pale.
“I left my phone behind.” Cate took her phone and left immediately, but all she could hear in her head were Lea’s words. Her chest felt like it had been punched hard, and her head was bursting with pain.
How funny! Shaun was getting married. Just yesterday, he had peeled crayfish for her and watched a movie with her, giving her a deep misconception.
Hah, did he really want the best of both worlds and have the joy of having several partners?
Liam watched her figure disappear and a mysterious light flashed in his eyes. “Mom, I like her. Sometimes, status isn’t important. For a lack of better words, Melanie is just a good-for-nothing, but Cate is different and grew up in adversity. If an illegitimate daughter like her brings down Melanie in the future, wouldn’t that be interesting?”
Lea paused. That was true. She had met Melanie, and she was just an overly arrogant pampered young lady. As for Cate Cox…
“Fine, I’ll check her background.”
…
That afternoon.
A stack of information about Cate was delivered to Lea’s desk.
What amazed Lea was that Cate had taken control of a listed company in just a month or so. She even had all the major shareholders wrapped around her finger.
What surprised her even more was that Shaun had been secretly suppressing Husdon since a few days ago.
Liam had helped Hudson once and was sent to Country F by Shaun.
Mason had a realization. “Liam only provoked Shaun because he was trying to help Cate Cox.
“I think Melanie must have gotten Shaun to deal with Cate, but he didn’t expect Liam to interfere, so he became unhappy.” Lea became even more annoyed after learning the truth.
Mason patted her shoulder. “Forget it. Hasn’t Shaun already brought Liam back? I think that Cate isn’t bad, and Liam likes this girl quite a lot. It’s just that she won’t be able to help him much when she’s being suppressed by the Yule family.”
Lea’s heart wavered. “Although she’s not as good as how I was back then, she’ll definitely be better than Melanie in the future.”
She thought of Liam’s words. If Husdon could rise rapidly, Cate might even become Liam’s biggest stepping stone. More importantly, Joel favored Cate more between his two daughters, so if they helped her, Joel would remember their kindness and definitely take Liam’s side in the future.
“Let them get in touch. We’ll see how things go.”
Lea was a businesswoman and would always think in the interest of profits.
