Cate struggled to break free from Shaun without realizing that she was moving around in his arms. By the time she was aware of the changes in him, her face was already flushing with embarrassment.
“Shaun, what a b*stard you are.”
Visibly embarrassed, he was also quite shocked deep down.
He had always assumed that he would no longer be aroused. Therefore, whenever he met Sarah, he subconsciously felt disgusted by her. He even suspected that he was incompetent.
Little did he expect that he would be aroused simply by hugging Cate.
This feeling made him particularly humiliated, and he somehow lost control as well.
Annoyed by Cate’s remark, he said, “What makes me a b*stard? You’re the one who’s indecent. I’m a normal man.”
“Are you? You visited the andrology unit this morning,” Cate blurted out.
Shaun was so ashamed that his ears went scarlet. He almost had the thought of killing her. “I’ve told you that I went there to keep Hadley company.”
“Are you treating me as a fool? Why would a boss accompany his employee there?
Cate pushed him away. She pointed outside and said in a fit of fury, “Get out.”
Shaun gazed at her flushed face which resembled a pretty rose that was about to bloom. He felt some discomfort. “How am I supposed to go out?”
“None of my business.” To Cate, he was just an eyesore.
“It certainly has to do with you. You’re still holding the marriage certificate and you’re still considered my wife.” Shaun suddenly smirked and slowly approached her.
Cate was taken aback by his shameless attitude. “Shaun, have you no shame? You’ve confessed to being loyal to Sarah. Is this how you treat her?”
The name ‘Sarah’ seemed like a bucket of cold water that was poured over him. He was suddenly awake.
He frowned guiltily. He must have been bewitched to make such a ridiculous remark just now.
“I was just trying to frighten you. Your face fills me with disgust.”
With that, Shaun snorted and headed to her bathroom.
Cate gave a scornful laugh. He claimed that her looks disgusted him so why was he using her bathroom now?
This man probably wanted to mess up her bathroom so that she would not dare to enter it anymore.
Anyway, a ‘fast’ man like him would probably come out of the bathroom very soon.
After waiting for ten minutes, Cate was speechless to find that Shaun was still inside.
With his condition, did he even need to visit the andrology unit? Was it because Sarah was hard to satisfy?
Cate gave a shudder.
At that point, she happened to feel hungry. She had not had lunch, so she headed to the kitchen to cook some macaroni and cheese. She then added some sausages to it.
The minute Shaun walked out dully, the smell of macaroni and cheese with sausage wafting from the kitchen immediately filled his nose. The wonderful smell immediately made him go hungry.
He walked to the kitchen and caught sight of Cate who was dressed in a daisy apron. She was cutting sausages. She looked charming with her ponytail swinging.
The emotions that he had just suppressed gushed within him again.
Shaun gritted his teeth and walked to Cate. Then, he said nonchalantly, “You’re trying to seduce me.”
“Huh?” Cate was totally caught off guard. Her dark charming eyes revealed a sense of innocence and bewilderment. Little did she realize how seductive she looked at the moment. “What did I do?”
“You know better than anyone else.” Shaun fixed his gaze on her glowing eyes and scoffed at her deep down. This was exactly how she was seducing him.
Speechless, Cate subconsciously looked down. “You’re finally done, huh?”
Shaun glowered at her fiercely, his ears turning red without him realizing it. “Cate Cox, what’s on your mind? Have you no shame?”
Cate raised her brows. He was basically a b*stard, but why did his ears go red? Was he trying to act pure? “I was just thinking that you didn’t need to visit the andrology unit and Sarah should be the one who should see the doctor. As a woman, there’s no need to be so desirous. With your condition, she should be content.”
“Sarah is unlike you,” Shaun mocked her sullenly despite having grasped her message.
Having said that, he had kept Sarah waiting for three years. Was… Was she actually lonely?
A complicated feeling flashed across his eyes. All of a sudden, he was doubtful about it.
“Don’t you know my desire? We already had children together,” Cate responded with a straight face.
“…”
Shaun choked upon hearing it.
He suspected that she was trying to get him into bed, but he had no evidence.
“Have you made up your mind?” Cate asked out of the blue.
Shaun was momentarily stunned, and his brows furrowed. “Are you talking about Hudson?”
“It’s up to you whether you return it to me, but it’s impossible for me to apologize to Sarah,” Cate said indifferently, “Having said that, my patience has its limits. You have to decide by tomorrow. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control my hands and end up exposing the evil deeds you guys have done.”
“Cate Cox, do you even know your place? How dare you threaten me?!” Shaun flew into a rage, his eyes heavy with grimness.
“Why? You’re planning to kill me, huh?” Cate was fearless.
“…”
Shaun’s handsome face darkened. In her eyes, was he merely a lunatic who killed people savagely?
“Do you think that I don’t dare to do so?” he warned her severely.
“I know you dare to do it. I surely won’t doubt it, but you can’t easily strangle me now.”
Cate smiled. “Maybe I’m not as great as you, but if we begin attacking each other, it’ll alert the neighbors and the entire neighborhood. What’s more, from the moment you stepped into this neighborhood, all your movements have been recorded on the surveillance cameras. If I die, you certainly won’t be able to get away.
“President Lyons, even if you plan to hide the truth through bribery, this incident will inevitably sound the alarm. For example, the Campos family, who has been plotting and vying to be the most brilliant family in Australia, will probably seize the opportunity to ruin your reputation and even… put you through hell.”
“What a detailed analysis you’ve provided.”
Shaun was in total exasperation. Was she under the impression that he would not kill her? Although he had never thought about doing anything illegal, what was her motive for infuriating him?
“Thank you.” Cate lowered her head and continued cutting the sausage. “Previously, you could threaten me with my dad and Mireya. But now that my dad has recovered and Mireya isn’t around, I’m alone. I have nothing to lose.”
Shaun stared at her back intently. He was under no illusions that her words were true.
Indeed, there was nothing he could use to threaten this woman.
They remained silent for half a minute before he said, “I can promise to return Hudson to you, but we have to get a divorce.”
“No way.” Cate flatly rejected him without lifting her head.
Shaun exploded with fury. “Don’t be ungrateful. I’ve already made a concession.”
Cate turned her head around and raised her brows. “If you hadn’t appointed Sarah as the president of Hudson, I might’ve agreed to get a divorce. But you got on my nerves, especially today when I learned that you made Cindy the ambassador of Hudson. How brilliant you are to gather those people I hate in the company? Why don’t you ask Rosabella to join as well? By gathering those three hypocrites, you can fulfill all your wishes.”
Stung by her criticisms, Shaun sneered, “Well, you just hate everyone, don’t you? I think something is wrong with you.”
“…”
Hearing Shaun talk could be really frustrating.
Therefore, Cate decided to ignore him and focused on chopping the vegetables.
She perfectly julienned the potatoes into thin slices.
He twitched his brows into a frown. “I can appeal to the court if you refuse to sign the divorce papers. A married couple can appeal to the judge after living separately for two years.”
“Sure, let’s meet in court. But things are going to get interesting if the reporters find out we’re still married. I’m not going to be responsible for maintaining your girlfriend’s reputation again.”
She replied nonchalantly.
This infuriated him. “What can I do to make you sign the papers?”
“Hmm, I haven’t thought about that yet.”
She pushed him out of the way and began heating the pan.
Once the oil was heated, she placed the julienned potatoes in, and soon, a delicious smell filled the room. She sprinkled some chopped green onions on it in the end. The presentation and smell were on point.
Suddenly, Shaun’s stomach began to grumble.
Cate flashed him an enigmatic smile and he returned it with an embarrassed glare. “I didn’t have lunch because I came here to speak with you.”
“Oh.”
She placed the potatoes into a plate, cleaned the pan, and started making stir-fried shrimp.
His senses were attacked by the delicious smell once more. “Make some more. I’m hungry.”
“That’s none of my business.” She was speechless.
“I’m legally your husband. Of course, it’s your business.” It had been too long since he had a good appetite thus he argued back shamelessly. “Making sure your husband is well-fed is one of your duties.”
