Sarah stared at Shaun’s profile. Although he was sitting in a dim area, his exquisite features remained attractive. She felt the need to win his heart. “Shaunny, can you do me a favor? Can you let go of Neeson Corporation?”
“You want to take it over, huh?”
“No. I’m busy enough with work so I don’t have the time to manage the company.” Sarah gave a bitter laugh. “My dad has relapsed while Charity is in jail. What my dad cares about most is his company. I’m afraid he won’t be able to hold on without his company.”
A trace of gentleness flashed across Shaun’s eyes. “You’re still the same. Anyway, don’t forget how he treated you when you were wandering out there over these years.”
“That’s another story. I’m just doing what I should as a daughter. At least I have a clear conscience.” Sarah sighed. “What’s more, my brother is unemployed despite the fact that he’s already an adult. I should assist him in turning over a new leaf so that he won’t behave like before.”
At the mention of Thomas, Shaun revealed a look of disgust. “It’s about time he changed.”
Sarah suddenly laughed at him. “I thought I’d need to put in some effort into persuading you. I didn’t expect that you’d readily agree to it.”
“I owe it to you,” Shaun said.
“No. You don’t owe me anything,” Sarah replied as she lowered her head and gazed at the wine on the table.
Half an hour later, the two of them walked upstairs together.
Wesley walked out from a dark corner. He smiled at the sight of the photo in his hand.
When he was working in the office that afternoon, he had suddenly received a mysterious message which told him to visit this bar.
“Cate, it looks like you’re in danger.”
Wesley sent the photo to Cate through WhatsApp. [I saw this when I was with my friend at Maison Bar last night. The two of them entered a private room upstairs. I heard you’re pregnant. You’d better keep an eye on Shaun. You can always come to me if you need help.]
…
Manor.
The moment Cate received the photo, her heart turned frosty. It felt as if a hole had been drilled into her heart.
Yesterday, Melanie caught them walking out of a hotel room. Today, they went to the bar together. They met so frequently that even her ‘old acquaintances’ kept coming across them.
What did he mean by going for treatment?
What did he mean by being occupied with work? These were all lies.
He purely wanted to keep Sarah company.
What about her and the babies in her belly?
Cate erupted with rage as she could no longer endure it. She had to leave the manor and look for Shaun, but she supposed that no one would agree.
After giving it a thought, she found Liam’s phone number and called him.
“It’s rare that you’re calling me of your own accord,” Liam said in astonishment.
“Liam, please get me out of the manor. I have something urgent to attend to.” After some consideration, she realized that Liam was the only person in the Lyons family whom she could ask for help.
Liam was torn. “It’s late at night now. What’s so important that you need to deal with? If my grandparents find out about it, they’ll surely scold me. Also, Shaun…”
“I’m not doing anything dangerous. I just need to deal with some urgent matters. I’ll be sure to take care of myself and my babies.” Cate gnashed her teeth. “Liam, don’t forget that you used to hurt me by taking advantage of me. If you’re still guilty about it…”
“Fine, fine. You win. I’ll drive you out. Come down secretly. Don’t let anyone find out.”
Liam let out a sigh.
Ten minutes later, Cate sneaked into his sports car.
The security guard realized that it was Liam’s car, so he did not block the car and let it drive out of the manor.
“Where are you going?” Liam glanced at her, only to find that she was still dressed in her pajamas. He wondered how urgent the matter was.
“Maison Bar.”
“Why are you heading to a bar at this hour?” Unease came over Liam. He was well aware that the Lyons family was very concerned about the babies in Cate’s belly.
“To check if Shaun is in bed with someone else.”
“…”
Liam slammed on the brakes.
Cate added indifferently, “Are you already aware that Sarah is still alive and Shaun has been meeting up with her recently? You even reminded me that men are easily seduced by women when their wives are pregnant. You meant to ask me to keep an eye on Sarah, no?”
Liam rubbed his forehead. Sometimes, women were so sharp that it seemed as if they had antennae. “Actually, I only heard that Shaun, Rodney, and the gang are always dining out with Sarah recently. I’m not sure about the other stuff.”
“Instead of distancing himself from his ex, he approaches and hangs out with her instead. Doesn’t this mean he’s going to cheat on me sooner or later?” Cate bit her lip, feeling a lump form in her throat. “I don’t want my children to grow up without a father.”
“Alright.” Liam continued to drive.
40 minutes later, the car was parked in front of Maison Bar.
Cate pushed open the car door and got out.
“Wait for me.” Worried that something would happen to the babies in her belly, Liam quickly went after her.
Cate walked up the stairs and pushed open the door of each private room. When she pushed the door of the fourth room, she spotted a man and a woman hugging on the couch. The tall and handsome man was Shaun. Meanwhile, Sarah was gently touching his head, which was leaning on her chest.
When the door was forcefully pushed open, both Shaun and Sarah were taken aback.
Cate gaped at the scene while rooted to the spot. A surge of emotions overwhelmed her deep down.
She felt like vomiting. She really felt like vomiting.
This was the man she was deeply in love with, yet he was leaning on another woman’s body.
At this sight before her, she admitted that he had never gotten over Sarah. He could choose not to love Cate, but he should at least take his children into account.
Exploding from anger, she quickened her pace toward them.
Sarah swiftly pushed Shaun away. “Are you Shaunic’s wife? It’s not what it looks like…”
Cate took a glass of wine from the table and splashed it onto Sarah’s face.
“Ah!” Sarah yelled.
Shaun’s head was still hurting badly as he leaned on the couch. When he was undergoing the treatment just now, he was suddenly reminded of his miserable childhood memories. Amid his despair and helplessness, he was woken by a yell.
Once his vision became clear, he noticed that Sarah was drenched and in a sorry state while Cate was furiously holding a wine glass.
“What are you doing?” Shaun leaped to his feet and glowered at Cate.
Sarah promptly gripped his arm. “Don’t be angry, Shaunic. She didn’t mean to splash it on me. I think she misunderstood us.”
Cate’s eyes settled on Sarah’s grip on Shaun’s arm. At the sight of the unpleasant scene, tears began to well in her eyes.
What a misunderstanding.
‘Shaunic’ was such an affectionate nickname.
“You’re Sarah, right?” Cate stared at her indifferently, her eyes expressing fierceness. “I’d been under the impression that my husband’s first love was pure and kind. It turns out you’re no different from those women who fake sympathy and secretly scheme against other people.”
Sarah’s pretty face paled all of a sudden. “It really is a misunderstanding. I was just treating Shaun.”
