Cate was the youngest among the women. She was getting familiar with these rich ladies after playing with them a couple of times.
However, one of the women playing in her group today was Madam Campos, the mother of Charlie Campos.
After losing twice in a row, Madam Campos said in a peculiar tone, “Cate, here’s a word of advice. A pregnant woman should spend less time playing bridge and more time accompanying her husband.”
Cate smiled without commenting further.
Madam Campos pretended as if she genuinely cared. “I heard from my son Charlie that he always sees Eldest Young Master Lyons going in and out of bars and clubhouses with that woman from the Neeson family.”
One of the ladies nearby exclaimed, “I hope you’re not talking about Sarah Neeson.”
“Yes, it’s her.” Madam Campos played a card. “Men, they need to be controlled. If not, they’ll hook up with someone else.”
“You have a point there.” Cate played her last card. “I win.”
“…”
Madam Campos wrote a check with a dark expression. “Don’t you understand what I’m saying?”
“I understand,” Cate said calmly, “But nowadays, isn’t it very normal for men to have an affair? I heard that Mr. Campos had an ambiguous relationship with his secretary previously…”
Madam Campos felt humiliated. “Those are just rumors. I’m talking about you now.”
“I told you, how many men wouldn’t cheat on their wives? Furthermore, Shaun is the wealthiest man in Australia. There are countless women who want to have sex with him. I can’t possibly care about all of them. I should mind my own business. When the twins I’m carrying are born, I won’t even have to worry about my meals in the future.”
Cate started shuffling the cards nonchalantly.
After she shuffled the cards, she noticed that the madams at her table were looking behind her with an odd expression.
She turned back to take a look. Shaun was standing behind her with a hardened expression. She did not know how much of the conversation he had heard.
Madam Campos burst out laughing. “Eldest Young Master Lyons, did you hear that? Your wife isn’t concerned about you at all.”
“Aunty Campos, you should mind your own business. I bet you caught your husband cheating many times ever since the Campos family became rich.” Shaun threw Madam Campos an icy glance. Her smile stiffened, and she felt as if she had fallen into an icy lake.
“Stop playing. Let’s go.”
Shaun pulled Cate up from the chair.
“Hey, Shaun, what are you doing?” Old Madam Lyons, who was at another table, stood up in dissatisfaction. “We’ve just been playing for an hour.”
“Granny, is one hour not long enough? How much longer do you want her to play? Are you hoping that my children will learn bridge for their prenatal education?”
After he snapped at Old Madam Lyons, he grabbed Cate and went to the car.
Both of them sat in the backseat. Shaun’s face was full of sarcasm. “Mind your own business?”
“What else?”
Cate yawned lazily. Her indifferent attitude made Shaun become filled with resentment. “I’m your man. You should place me first.”
“Oh.”
Cate nodded.
“What do you mean by ‘oh’? You never take my words to heart.” Shaun felt that his actions and words had no effect at all.
“What do you want me to do?” Cate said annoyedly, “Nag at you every day? Whenever I say something, you would think that I don’t understand you. When I say something again, you would think that I’m misunderstanding your childhood sweetheart and accuse me of not trusting you. I have no idea what you’re trying to do here.”
“…”
Shaun could not find words to reply to Cate.
He was filled with frustration.
When it became silent in the car, Cate read a novel on her phone.
“There’s radiation from the phone. Don’t keep looking at it.” Shaun took her phone away.
Cate simply looked out the window. She did not even have the energy to communicate with him.
“Babe, don’t be like this. If there’s anything that you’re unhappy with, just say it out. There’s no need to keep it inside your heart.” Shaun lowered his voice and tried to please her.
“I’m not unhappy. I’m living quite a fulfilled life,” Cate replied to him lazily.
“…”
Shaun, who was completely shut out again, was aggrieved. “Didn’t you tell me to bring you along if I’m hanging out with Rodney and the others? I’m hanging out with them tonight at the clubhouse. Come along with me.”
“I’m not going.”
Why did she have to ruin her mood by meeting Sarah?
“Aren’t you worried that Sarah will be there too?”
“I’m not worried.” Cate looked at Shaun with a smile. “Besides, having a physical affair doesn’t count as cheating.”
“…”
Did she mean that she would not mind even if he slept with Sarah?
No, it could not be. When he had accidentally hugged Sarah before, she was jealous for a long time.
“My dear, tonight’s gathering is mainly to welcome Chase. He’s here in Canberra,” Shaun said to please her, “You should go.”
Cate was taken aback.
Chase came from the same hometown as her, and her relationship with Chase was pretty good.
“Okay. I haven’t seen him in a long time anyways.”
Shaun’s expression stiffened.
He never expected that there would come a day when he had to rely on Chase to invite her out.
Damn Chase, he could not possibly be contacting Cate behind his back right?
Chase, who was away fishing at sea, sneezed. “Who misses me so much? Could it be Rin?”
He took his phone out and sent a Whatsapp message to Cate immediately: [Rin, it’s been a while since we met. Do you want to meet up tonight?]
Shaun, who was holding Cate’s phone, almost spat out blood due to anger when he saw that message appear on her screen.
Sure enough, that jerk did contact his wife behind his back.
…
8 p.m.
At a private clubhouse by a lake in Canberra.
Shaun circled Cate’s waist and entered. Chase, Rodney, and Sarah were already sitting on the leather sofa, drinking and chatting.
When both of them came in, Chase immediately waved at them with a smile. “Hi, Rin. Did you miss me?”
Shaun shot him an icy glare. Chase instantly felt chilly as if he was at the South Pole.
Cate smiled as she nodded. “Young Master Harrison, what brings you to Canberra?”
“There’s a business meeting.” Chase patted the seat beside him. “Sit here, Rin.”
Just as Chase finished speaking, Shaun had already sat on the seat that he patted on earlier. Cate was pulled by Shaun to sit on another side.
Seeing that there was a big guy between Rin and him, the corners of Chase’s mouth twitched.
“Are you dissatisfied with me sitting here?” Shaun narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows.
