Cate wiped away the tears on her face. “I’m a pregnant woman. Why can’t you make me feel more secure? Do you know how frightened I was when I saw those photos? What was worse, I couldn’t reach you.”
“I was just discussing my condition with her in the hotel that morning. We didn’t do anything else.”
Shaun stretched out his hands to hug her in a state of panic.
However, Cate pushed him away. “Don’t touch me. I can smell another woman’s scent on you. It’s disgusting.”
“When did I start having another woman’s smell?” Shaun lowered his head and sniffed his body. The instant he noticed a faint smell of it, his expression changed slightly. “I’m going to take a bath.”
Cate turned her face away from him, not bothered to look at him again.
It was not her intention to shed tears. Nevertheless, she felt as if she had transformed into a different person ever since she got pregnant. She started worrying about every little thing.
Shaun sighed. He directly took off his clothes in front of her.
“What are you doing?” Cate was taken aback. Her face was flushed with anger and embarrassment.
Although they were a couple, she could not bear to see him naked under the bright lights.
“You can check my body to see if there are any marks. I’m innocent.” Shaun stretched out his arms and turned around in front of Cate.
Cate could not bring herself to look at him. She rose to her feet and pushed him away. Then, she walked to the bathroom. “Get in now, you hoodlum.”
“Stop crying, my dear. I’ll only behave like a hoodlum in front of you.” Shaun seized the opportunity to pull her into his arms and planted a kiss on her face. After that, he said shamelessly, “I just feel like behaving like a hoodlum in front of you.”
“Shaun, I hate this behavior of yours.”
Cate raised her hands and pounded him. She did not feel better. Instead, she felt increasingly aggrieved and wept more bitterly. “You always criticize me without getting your facts right and begin rewarding me afterward. I disallow from meeting Sarah.”
“That’s not possible, babe.” A bitter smile flashed across Shaun’s face. “I’m afraid only she’s capable of treating my illness. Do you want me to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease at such a young age and forget about you and our children?”
Cate bit her lip in agony. “I can’t stand you guys spending so much time together all the time. Otherwise… ask her to treat you in the manor, and I’ll watch from outside.”
Shaun pinched her cheeks lightly. “What a domineering wife you are. I didn’t realize that earlier.”
Cate glared at him. “Shaun, you need to understand that I wouldn’t care about you if it weren’t for the children.”
“What do you mean?” Shaun’s eyes narrowed. “So you’re staying by my side only because of the children?”
“Think about what you’ve done. At first, you kept Shelley by your side, and now you have Sarah with you. I feel worn out. I don’t know how long my love for you will last,” Cate said bitterly and frankly.
Shaun felt sorry deep down.
He had not expected that Sarah would turn out to be his psychologist either.
Having said that, he really had no intention of getting back together with Sarah. “I’ll listen to you, babe.”
By the time Shaun came out of the bathroom, Cate was already lying on the bed. She kept tossing and turning, having difficulty falling asleep.
Shaun snuggled into the bed and wrapped his arms around her. “I’m not going to sleep next door. I want to sleep with you.”
Cate turned her body over and ignored him.
“I suspect that we’ve always been arguing these days mainly because we’re sleeping separately now. As a couple, we need to be intimate in order to improve our relationship.”
With that, Shaun kissed her on the face.
Initially, he just planned to give her a kiss. However, he ended up kissing her longer than he planned, probably because he had not been so intimate with her for quite some time.
Cate was dazed as he kissed her. A part of her rejected him while a part of her went along with him. With that, Shaun became addicted.
Well, they had fought but were kissing and making up now.
The next day, Cate was finally clear-headed after a good night’s sleep.
Sure enough, Sarah had come prepared. When it came to dealing with this kind of woman, Cate had to be b*tchier than her.
If this had happened earlier, Cate might have quit such an unstable relationship.
Now that she was pregnant, she had to protect her family.
She had no choice but to bite the bullet.
After contemplating for a while, she turned her body over and said to Shaun, “From today onward, I’ll visit your office from time to time. Now that I’m being locked in here every day, I have nowhere to go and I tend to overthink, which depresses me more.”
Shaun frowned and was concerned about her. “But—”
“I’m fed up with thinking about you all the time. When you didn’t come back those days, I wondered if you had fallen for another woman, disliked me for being pregnant, and disliked me for being skeptical. I hate how I’m behaving this way,” Cate interrupted his sentence. Her tone was filled with distress.
Shaun let out a sigh. After some thought, he realized that they had been having a really bitter row these days. Having to focus on work and his treatment, he often did not have time to care for her. “Alright.”
“Also, you must not spend time with Sarah alone except when you go for treatment. I know Rodney and Chester are on friendly terms with her, so they’ll often meet each other. If the four of you meet up next time, you can bring me along.”
Cate buried her face in Shaun’s chest with an endearing look.
It had been a long while since she behaved meekly in front of him. He became soft-hearted and confused in an instant. “But Rodney and Chester—”
“I know they dislike me, but that’s okay. I can bear with it as long as I get to prevent my husband from being snatched away by another woman.”
Cate lifted her head and blinked her charming large eyes. “It’s because you’re too handsome. I love you.”
“Babe, I’ll listen to you.” Shaun’s eyes lit up. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
He sighed deep down as he was completely dominated by the woman. In this case, how could anything possibly happen between Sarah and him? Anyway, it did not matter as long as she was happy. If she wanted to come along, so be it.
…
8:40 a.m.
Shaun walked to the dining room with his hand around Cate’s waist.
Cate’s mouth was slightly swollen, and her cheeks were scarlet.
Having experienced such things herself, Old Madam Lyons was under no illusion about what had happened to them this morning. She was both relieved and concerned. “This is how the two of you should behave as a couple. Having said that, you should watch out. The doctor said that three months prior—”
“We didn’t, Granny. You don’t have to keep reminding me. I’m not a child.” Shaun’s face darkened after he heard those words, while Cate wished the ground would swallow her up.
Deep down, Liam was expressing his disapproval while having his breakfast. Shaun and Cate were just having a blazing row yesterday, yet they were on good terms today like two peas in a pod.
Liam wondered if Shaun was an expert at calming women or if Cate was an expert at dealing with men. Anyhow, this couple were experts.
“By the way, I heard the three of you came back together last night,” Old Master Lyons suddenly said.
“Cough, cough.” Liam nearly choked on his sandwich.
Shaun glanced at him nonchalantly. “Cate missed me, so Liam brought her over to visit me yesterday. We had supper together before returning home.”
With that, Cate stepped on his foot.
Missed him? Ha! How shameless he was to tell such a lie. In truth, she had gone to check if he was in bed with Sarah.
Shaun glanced at her with an aggrieved look. However, Cate looked away and ignored him.
Old Master Lyons did not see through them and nodded with a sense of relief. “I didn’t expect that you’d go for supper with Liam.”
Liam snorted. “It was Sister-in-law who requested it, or I wouldn’t have had supper with him.”
