“… Not at all.” Chase smiled sheepishly.
Sarah, who was sitting on the opposite side, concealed her darkened gaze. She smiled and said, “Shaunic, you’ve finally brought your wife out. Otherwise, I’m the only woman here every single time. It’s no fun.”
Cate smiled vaguely and looked at Shaun. “No wonder you had so many social engagements at night. So you were with Sarah every time you went out.”
Shaun felt a tingling in his scalp. Just as he wanted to talk, Rodney said discontentedly, “Don’t be sarcastic. Chester and I are always present too. It’s not just Shaun and Sarah.”
“Tsk tsk, Ms. Neeson, you really make people envious of you. You’re surrounded by the three top noblemen of Australia, just like a princess.” Cate smiled even brighter.
Rodney frowned. “Cate, everyone’s having a nice time. Can you not start attacking others the moment you join in?”
“Rodney…” Shaun squinted his eyes to warn him.
“Did I say anything wrong?” Rodney harrumphed. “Sarah and the three of us have known each other ever since we were young. She only has a few friends like us left in Canberra. What’s wrong with asking her to hang out together?”
“There’s nothing wrong. I didn’t say anything like that.” Cate shrugged with an innocent look. “Young Master Snow, you’re being unfair. You said that I’m attacking others with my words, but I remember it was Ms. Neeson who started this topic. She was the one who said that she’s the only woman here every single time. Otherwise, how would I have known that you guys invited her to hang out? What a deep relationship you guys have.”
Everyone was stunned. Shaun looked like he was deep in thought.
Sarah secretly tightened her grip on her glass. She then suddenly lowered her head and coughed.
“Are you okay? Is your throat still unwell?” Rodney immediately asked out of concern.
Cate said, “Oh dear, has your wound not healed yet? It’s better to rest at home if you’re not feeling well.”
“Cate, have you said enough?” Rodney could not tolerate her anymore. He warned, “You should get this straight. Sarah was strangled for the sake of treating Shaun’s illness. As his wife, not only are you being ungrateful, but you’re even being sarcastic. Can you cut it out already?”
Cate felt aggrieved and pouted. “Young Master Snow, how can you say that? That day, you even said that Shaun and Ms. Neeson still have feelings for each other and told me to back off. In that case, it’s not my place to be grateful because she did it willingly.”
When Cate said that, panic flashed through Rodney’s eyes. The way he glared at her was as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Chase and Shaun’s expressions changed, especially Shaun’s. His brows were oozing with anger. “Rodney, when did you look for her and say those words to her?”
“Rodney, you shouldn’t have done that.” Sarah sighed worriedly. “I’ve told you before. Shaunic and I have already moved on.”
“Fine, it’s all my fault. I’m going to use the bathroom.”
Rodney kicked a chair out of the way. He stood up and went to the bathroom.
“I’ll go talk to him.” Sarah followed him hurriedly.
Shaun’s face was full of frustration. He regretted bringing Cate along. “My dear, why didn’t you tell me that Rodney had gone to see you? If I knew about it, I would’ve helped you give him a harsh lesson.”
“That’s right, Rin. Rodney is just clueless. Don’t take his words to heart.” Chase then changed the topic. “How about we play a game of pool?”
Cate nodded. “Okay.”
She walked toward the pool table with Chase. Shaun said worriedly, “You’re pregnant. It’s not suitable for you to play pool. Why don’t I play while you watch from the side?”
Cate frowned, and Chase said hastily, “Shaun, can you not kill the mood? We’re not even playing soccer. Did you call Cate out just for her to sit there and act out a soap opera with Sarah?”
Soap opera…
Cate almost burst out laughing.
“Alright, I’ll be careful. You can go to the side. Don’t disturb us.” Cate’s tone was calm.
Shaun was indescribably frustrated. Her attitude toward him was worse than her attitude toward Chase.
“My dear, what do you want to eat? I’ll order it for you.”
“Anything.”
After Shaun finally left, Chase stroked his pool cue and said softly, “Rin, you must’ve been having a hard time lately right?”
Tears welled up in Cate’s eyes and she almost cried. However, she held it back and did not expose her emotions. “You don’t blame me? I thought you would be on Sarah’s side too.”
“I’m not that close with Sarah. You’re the one who comes from the same hometown as me, after all,” Chase said gleefully, “Onlookers see most of the game. I noticed just now that Sarah isn’t that simple of a person.”
Cate looked at him, astonished.
“Rodney likes Sarah too much. It has always been like this. In his eyes, Sarah is a perfect little princess while Chester treats her like a sister. As for Shaun, his heart does carry guilt toward Sarah, but I’m very sure that he doesn’t love Sarah anymore,” Chase said seriously.
“It doesn’t matter.” Cate smiled faintly.
Chase frowned. “You…”
“I’m tired. I just want to love myself and my babies more,” Cate replied.
A trace of worry flashed across Chase’s eyes.
“My dear, have some fruits.” Shaun brought a fruit platter over.
The door of the private room opened again. Chester came in with his hand circled around a woman with a tall figure. The woman had long and straight black hair that rested on her shoulders. She was wearing a floral-striped off-shoulder shirt with puffy sleeves. She matched it with a white denim short skirt.
However, when Cate got a clearer look at that woman’s face, she was speechless.
F*ck!
What a bad day.
That woman turned out to be Cindy, whom she had not met in a long time.
Ever since the Cox family fell apart, Cate rarely met Cindy, but she often saw entertainment news related to her on the phone. It seemed like Cindy was becoming more famous. However, Cate had no ties with Cindy, so she did not pay any attention to her. Surprisingly, Cindy was now hooking up with Chester.
Did the eyes of every one of Shaun’s friends get smudged with sh*t?
He did not want a good woman like Charity but chose Cindy who had a plastic face.
Shaun’s memory was not very good now, so he did not remember Cindy. However, Chase recognized her at first sight.
“Cate, long time no see. I miss you very much.” Cindy’s eyes brightened when she saw Cate. She happily went up to Cate.
“Excuse me, but I’m not close with you.” Cate raised her hand to signal her not to come any closer.
Chester frowned and asked Cindy, “You guys know each other?”
“We don’t just know each other. Cate and I went to the same middle school and high school. Our relationship was quite good all along, but she rarely contacted me after she came to Canberra.” Cindy smiled awkwardly.
Chester raised his eyebrows. He had a thoughtful expression on his face.
He remembered that Cate had only come to Canberra after Joel brought her back.
After listening to Cindy, could it be that Cate had cut off contact with Cindy after finding success?
Cate did not care about what Chester thought of her and said straightforwardly, “Don’t you have any f*cking clue as to why I’ve stopped contacting you?”
“That’s right.” Chase harrumphed. “I remember you. Back in Melbourne, you often mingled with a bunch of mediocre women like Janet Campbell. Oh yes, you even had someone drag Rin out of the restaurant when you guys were having a meal. Shaun, do you remember?”
“…”
How could he say out loud that he had forgotten so many things?
However, according to what Chase said, this woman was surely not good.
“Chester, why did you find a woman like this?” Shaun frowned. He did not hide the repulsion in his eyes.
Cindy’s face paled slightly, and her eyes glinted with tears from embarrassment. “Young Master Harrison, I tried to stop them back in Melbourne but I was merely a small singer at that time. Ms. Campbell and the others ignored me completely. Cate, I know that you look down on me, but I’m not that powerful like you. I have to rely on myself most of the time and be very careful. I’ll be ruined if I offend someone.”
She held Chester’s hand while trembling. “Chester, you should know about my past.”
“Let bygones be bygones.” The corners of Chester’s mouth lifted into a mesmerizing smile as he patted the back of her hand. “Go and have a seat.”
“Chester, is this your new girlfriend? She’s very pretty.” At that moment, Sarah and Rodney returned.
Sarah went over to Cindy with a smile and held her hand. “It’s lively tonight as a few women have joined. Hey, why are you crying?”
