“Who is he? What is your relationship with him?” Patrick’s handsome face darkened when he saw the guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Men were wary animals. If Rodney were incomparable to him in every aspect, he would not have cared at all. However, Rodney was good-looking and had elegant mannerisms. His whole body exuded an unrestrained, intimidating aura. He was surely not an ordinary person.
Mireya rolled her eyes. She hooked her arm around Rodney’s arm all of a sudden and said, “I forgot to tell you. I already have a new boyfriend, and it’s him.”
Rodney’s body stiffened. Why was the situation different from what he expected?
Was that not her boyfriend? He only came over to have them break up, but why did it turn out that he was helping Mireya instead?
“Impossible.” Patrick’s face paled in disbelief and he yanked Mireya’s hand. “Are you using this method to provoke me? Mireya, I admit that I’m provoked. Let’s go home.”
“How many times do I have to say this? We broke up long ago.” Mireya turned Rodney’s face to show Patrick. “Look at how handsome he is. He looks like a male protagonist from a comic that came to life. He fulfills every woman’s ideal type as he has a great figure and face. Patrick, my world only consisted of you in the past, so I didn’t notice anybody else. But after coming to Canberra, I realized that there are many other excellent guys. You’re not worth my time anymore.”
Rodney had no clue what was happening. “…”
Fck, who was the one who said he was a piece of dog sht previously?
Who was the one who said that he was a ladyboy?
Who was the one who said that he did not look like a man?
What on earth was this woman’s mouth made of? She did not even need a script whether she was speaking human words or nonsense.
“Do you think saying this will make me believe you?” Patrick shook his head dejectedly. He did not want to believe it at all. “You’re still angry at Linda and me. You just want to make me jealous…”
“I’m not lying. I really like him. Let me prove it to you if you don’t believe me.” Without another word, Mireya grabbed Rodney’s necktie and yanked it downward. Then, she got on her tiptoes and kissed Rodney’s thin lips hard.
The even more clueless Rodney widened his eyes, “…”
He was forcibly kissed by a woman for the first time in his whole life.
He wanted to push her away, but Mireya pressed the back of his head and said in a voice that only both of them could hear, “Didn’t you want to prove yourself last time? Now is the time to prove it.”
“…”
F*ck.
That meant that he could not prove himself to be a man if he pushed her away.
He admitted that he was agitated.
Rodney hugged her back and returned her kiss hard.
Patrick could only watch the two helplessly. His eyes reddened due to shock. Was that the ‘love’ that she had confessed to him about in the past?
She wooed him for a long time, yet when he seriously wanted to treat her well, she chose to hurt him this way.
“Mireya, I’m utterly disappointed in you. I won’t look for you anymore.”
Patrick could not bear to continue watching, so he left angrily and awkwardly.
He did not see that the moment he turned around, a teardrop fell from Mireya’s eye.
The teardrop landed on Mireya and Rodney’s lips and Rodney tasted something salty.
He was stunned for a while, and the next moment, he was being shoved away by Mireya.
The woman who kissed him earlier was wiping her face and mouth vigorously as if she had kissed something dirty.
“Mireya Lynch…” Rodney was deeply infuriated.
“Do you need some tissues?” Mireya took a piece of tissue and passed it to him. Her deep eyes were still glistening with tears, just like an innocent kitten.
Rodney took the piece of tissue annoyedly and wiped his mouth forcefully. “So dirty.”
“I think so too.” Mireya nodded as she felt the same way. “Kissing a stranger who I don’t love is so uncomfortable.”
“…”
Could she not sense that he was trying to humiliate her?
Rodney felt that his anger was being ignored, and his heart was almost in pain from being angry. “What are you crying for? You’re reluctant to leave that guy, yet you humiliated him. Don’t you think that you’re pretentious?”
“You certainly don’t have a girlfriend,” Mireya suddenly said, “You were so unskilful at that kiss just now. It can’t possibly be your first kiss, right?”
“Bullsh*t…”
Rodney was deeply embarrassed that she had figured him out. He could not help but spit out vulgar words.
“Looks like I guessed correctly.” Looking at his expression that was about to explode from fury, Mireya’s mood strangely lightened up. “Don’t you know that women like to be pretentious? Guys who despise women being pretentious will never get a girlfriend. Learn something.”
Rodney gritted his teeth. “Mireya, I helped you out just now, at the very least. Is this how you treat your benefactor?”
“Did I beg you to come? It seemed like you were the one who ran here willingly and called me ‘babe’. You even said misleading things. Don’t think I don’t know that you were up to no good.”
Mireya scoffed and walked away. She then saw Cate who was coming her way.
Cate halted when she saw Rodney who was behind Mireya. “You two…”
Rodney made a loud ‘hmph’ and left looking offended.
“…”
Cate was speechless. Were her eyes blurry? Why did Rodney seem like a big softie at this moment?
“Why is he here? Did you guys fight again? Where’s Patrick?”
“He left. We completely broke off this time. He said he wouldn’t look for me anymore.” Mireya glanced up and smiled, but her eyes were red.
“It might be better this way. We need to look ahead. There are a lot of good men in Canberra.” Cate held her hand and they headed inside the company together.
“I don’t care. I’m miserable right now. You have to keep me company.”
“I can’t tonight. I promised to go home and cook for Shaun.” Cate invited her, saying, “Why don’t you come to my house to eat?”
“Never mind, I have no desire to see Shaun’s poker face,” Mireya said glumly, “Now that you’re married, you have no time to accompany me. I suddenly feel so lonely.”
“…That’s why you should go on a date and fall in love.” Cate let out a deep, long sigh. “Look at me. After getting married, I can’t even go out to have a meal with the opposite gender. Even if I’m going out with girls, I still need to report to him. I need to go home immediately after work as Shaun will be unhappy if I go back home late.”
“Forget it. I think I don’t want to get married, after all.” Mireya was terrified after listening to Cate.
…
In the evening.
Shaun had not returned yet when Cate arrived home.
Aunty Yasmine had already prepped the vegetables. Cate took a look at the vegetables on the cutting board and said, “You didn’t cut enough meat, and the vegetables aren’t enough either.”
“But this is already a lot.” Aunty Yasmine was astonished. “Usually, it goes to waste…”
“I make four servings every time, and Shaun finishes all of it.” Cate took some more broccoli out from the fridge.
Aunty Yasmine was curious. “Could this be the power of love? I watched Eldest Young Master Lyons grow up. His appetite has never been good. It’s as though he doesn’t like to eat anything at all and it was good enough even if he just ate a bowl of rice.”
“…”
To be honest, if Cate had not spent time with Shaun in Canberra, she would never believe Aunty Yasmine’s words.
Now that she thought about it, he had certainly enjoyed her cooking back in Melbourne. It was just that he never spoke his mind and commented that her cooking was only so-so.
It was so pretentious of him.
However, there was someone who liked the food she made. That made her more enthusiastic about cooking.
“Later, you’ll find out just how big his appetite is.” Cate started slicing the pork.
Cooking roast pork required a lot of time.
While she was waiting, she read some news on her phone.
However, when she saw that night’s top trending search, [Eldest Young Master Lyons Has Murdered Someone In The Past], she was in a daze.
She had a bad feeling.
Joyfolk Financial Times: [Australia’s First Young Master’s True Colors. Eldest Young Master Lyons has a history of serious mental illness. He was sent to a mental hospital after attempting to murder his nanny. It’s terrifying. There are pictures as evidence.]
Cate’s heart trembled. She tapped on the pictures.
There were a few pictures of a young boy. The features and outline of the boy’s face were exactly how Shaun looked when he was young. One photo showed him holding a knife with blood on his face and hands. His eyes had an intense glare, and his young face looked contorted and scary. There were another two pictures. One showed him being captured by the police while in the other, he was wearing a white shirt after getting admitted into a mental hospital.
