Shaun felt an overwhelming urge to step on Liam’s face. Ultimately, he pulled a long face and followed them.
After they got their seats at the night market, the surrounding noise and nasty environment made Shaun frown.
After Cate ordered a few dishes, she passed the menu to Liam.
Liam ordered a few dishes too by yelling at the boss. Then, he said to Shaun, “Brother, I didn’t pass the menu to you since you won’t be interested in the kind of food here.”
Shaun was at a loss for words.
Fine, then. Anyway, he found the food here unhygienic.
Nevertheless, he could not afford to let his babies suffer.
He rose to his feet and walked toward the barbecue grill. “Sir, have you washed the ingredients?”
“My wife has washed the ingredients several times. They’re clean,” the boss replied with a smile.
Shaun could not believe it at all. “That’s impossible. I’ve seen on the news that the ingredients for barbecue are just casually rinsed.”
The boss was speechless.
F*ck. Was this person trying to cause trouble? If it had not been for his sturdy physique and outstanding attire, the boss would have asked him to get lost.
“If you don’t believe me, I can’t do anything. Perhaps you can choose to eat at another stall,” the boss teased him.
“It’s fine. I’ll personally wash the ingredients that my wife is going to eat.” Shaun chose the ingredients that Cate ordered and cleaned them properly with water.
“Are you planning to wash everything, including what your companion has ordered?” the boss gnashed his teeth and asked with a long face.
“No. You can choose the dirtiest ingredients for him.”
The boss was at a loss for words.
How could this person be so mean?
Shaun calmly went back to his seat. “My dear, I’ve personally washed the ingredients for you. I can guarantee that they’re clean.”
Speechless, Cate twitched her mouth. Then, she touched her belly. “How lucky my babies are.”
Shaun was at a loss for words.
Liam giggled. “I hope your father won’t have illegitimate children after you’re born. Anyway, I’ll treat you babies with affection.”
“Liam, what do you mean? Just zip it,” Shaun said in a huff.
“Am I wrong? Instead of receiving treatment at home, you spent the night doing it at the bar with your ex. Haha, I’ve never heard of anyone getting treated this way. Watch yourself, Brother,” Liam replied indifferently.
“Why do you keep dwelling on this matter? Every psychologist has their own way of treating patients.” An impatient look crossed Shaun’s face.
“Okay. You might be a gentleman, but how certain are you that Sarah has no feelings for you?” Liam shrugged. “If this had happened back then, I wouldn’t have been bothered to remind you. Indeed, I’m a scumbag. I’m not a good person either.
“But if I were in your shoes and my wife is pregnant, I’d definitely keep a distance from other women, much less my ex. The reason why I’m saying this is that I don’t wish to see my nephews or nieces growing up in an incomplete family. You should be able to understand this kind of pain, right?”
Shaun’s expression changed.
Cate glanced at Liam admiringly.
She admitted that she used to hold a grudge against Liam, but it had vanished at that moment.
Shaun snorted. “My children aren’t your nephews and nieces. They have nothing to do with you.”
“Pah! You’re not the one who decides it. It’s my nephews and nieces who have the final say.” Liam and Shaun kept bickering with one another.
At the sight of the scene, a gentle smile spread across Cate’s face.
“What are you smiling at?” Liam asked.
“It’s rare to see both of you interacting so much,” Cate suddenly said, “Actually, you guys can accept, help, and support each other. As brothers, you don’t have to turn against each other.”
Liam said, “Ew. Who would want to help him?”
Shaun also said, “I won’t help him.”
Cate was speechless. Did they not realize that they shared a lot of similarities? They seemed like biological brothers.
…
After supper, the three of them returned to the manor.
The minute Cate stepped into the bedroom, Shaun suddenly received a call from Rodney. “Shaun, how could you leave Sarah alone? You should’ve sent her back at least. When she headed home alone just now, a motorcyclist robbed her and she got injured.”
Shaun was stunned, and his brows furrowed. “Didn’t she drive?”
“How would she have the time to get a car when she has just returned to Melbourne?” Rodney was at a loss for words. “Also, she was soaked to the skin. When I asked her what happened, she refused to tell me. You’ve gone too far.”
Shaun pursed his lips in annoyance. “Look after her.”
After the call ended, Cate turned her head around and glanced at Shaun. “What’s wrong? Did something happen to Sarah?”
“You heard everything?” Shaun’s eyes glowed. He had adjusted the volume to the lowest level, so he was surprised that she actually heard it.
She heard nothing, in fact.
It was just that she could somewhat grasp Sarah’s tactics.
Sure enough, the woman was not simple.
Cate snorted. “Not only did I guess correctly that something had happened to her, but I’m also sure that Rodney was the one who made the call. Rodney certainly blamed you for not sending Sarah home and wondered why she was soaked, but Sarah was insistent on keeping silent about the truth.”
“…”
Shaun was so stupefied that he almost doubted if she had planted a bug in his phone.
“How do you know?”
Cate curled her lips. As expected, she had guessed it all right. “Rosabella used such tactics before.”
Shaun frowned upon hearing that.
Cate shrugged. “First of all, you’ll be overcome with guilt since something has happened to her. Secondly, she didn’t tell Rodney that it was me who splashed the wine on her so you’ll see her as an understanding woman. Women usually gain advantages by making concessions like this.”
Shaun rubbed his forehead. “Cate, I know you dislike Sarah, but you don’t know her well enough—”
“Fine. I know she’s kind. You might’ve known her for over ten years, whereas tonight was merely the first time I met her. You’re bound to be unhappy that I’m slandering your first love whom you haven’t been able to get over.”
Cate nodded. “But I’m sorry. In my eyes, she’s a woman who could possibly snatch my husband and ruin my children’s family.”
“Why won’t you trust me?” Shaun was boiling with rage. “Am I such an irresponsible man to you?”
“Trust can only be earned. What have you done to earn it? It was Shelley previously and Sarah now.”
Cate could not help but add, “You went to a hotel the day before yesterday, and you visited a bar today. The two of you have been spending so much time together and you always don’t come home. How would I feel?”
Shaun was dumbfounded. “How did you find out…”
“A lot of people came across you two. They even sent photos of you guys to my phone. Tell me how I should feel.”
