“Why? You want to hit me? Bring it on, then. I’m in pain all over my body anyway. My bones could fall apart with another few movements.” Cate stood up. Her pretty, clear eyes were glinting with tears. She looked aggrieved.
The anger in Shaun subsided all of a sudden. He could not stand to see her looking that way. He admitted that he had indeed gone overboard last night.
“Don’t cry. Isn’t it just about money…” He took a gold card out of his pocket and handed it to her. “Buy whatever you want. I just want this plate of pasta.”
“I don’t want it. I’m in pain.” Cate did not look at him at all and continued eating her pasta.
Shaun stared at the back of her head for a while. He took a fork from the kitchen and ate the pasta together with her.
“Shaun, you’re not allowed to eat mine.” Cate blocked his fork. Her pretty eyes were wide from glaring. Her slightly swollen lips were stained with oil, but it only made her lips look more delicate like jelly. It made people want to have a taste.
Her current appearance made Shaun’s heart itch. He knew why her lips were swollen. It was because he had kissed them last night. He could still remember the taste of her lips.
“I want to eat.”
Shaun started snatching the food from her.
The two adults were like kids fighting with each other. The egg was even split in half.
When there were a few strands of pasta left, Cate simply lowered her head and devoured them. After she succeeded, she raised her eyebrows smugly, as though she was a kid who had won a fight.
Shaun looked at Cate. He had clearly lost, yet her childish appearance made his heart race.
He gulped and subconsciously moved forward, where he bit the rest of the noodles hanging on her mouth.
When he bit down, his lips touched hers.
Cate’s eyes instantly widened. Her thick eyelashes brushed across the skin of his cheeks, and her pure eyes were as clear as the brightest star in the sky.
At that moment, Shaun felt something in his brain snap.
He wanted to hold the back of her head and get a taste of what they had last night once again.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Cate shuddered and pushed him away. Her snow-white face blushed a little as she glared at him before walking over to open the door.
Chester’s tall and handsome figure stood at the door. As soon as his keen eyes fell on Cate’s lips, he suddenly felt a headache build up. After all, he was experienced as well.
“It’s for you. Please hurry up and leave. I don’t want to be accused of seducing you again.”
Cate turned her head and said mockingly to Shaun. Then, she took the bowl to the kitchen.
When Shaun saw Chester walk in, his beautiful and impeccable face suddenly sank.
He had never seen Chester as such an eyesore before. If Chester did not knock on the door just now, maybe he would have…
A clear image flashed in his mind.
Shaun pinched his brows in pain. Did his sperm swim up to his brain?
“It looks like I came too late.” Chester frowned slightly.
“Why are you here?” Shaun suddenly became nervous. “Does Sarah…”
“She doesn’t know yet. Let’s go.” Chester turned and walked out.
Shaun glanced at Cate, who was washing dishes in the kitchen. He wanted to say something, but when he thought about Sarah, his head hurt. Hence, he went out with Chester.
Once the door closed, Cate turned off the tap. Her eyes were cold.
…
Downstairs.
Shaun leaned on the sedan while Chester handed him a cigarette.
“Well, if Sarah wasn’t forced to call Rodney last night, I wouldn’t have known that you hadn’t done it with Sarah for the past three years… But you don’t look like you can’t do it.”
He sized up Shaun with a weird look in his eyes, and Shaun shot him a warning glance. “What do you mean I can’t do it? I very much can.”
“Then, why did you come to Cate last night? Don’t you like Sarah?” Chester was puzzled by him.
“I don’t know either.” Shaun lit a cigarette and took a long drag. He looked somewhat melancholic. “It’s weird. Every time I touch Sarah, I feel like throwing up. It’s the same with other women as well. Only Cate is different.”
“How’s that possible?” Chester raised his eyebrows and puffed out a breath of smoke. “I know you have mysophobia. Are you afraid because Sarah was…”
“No, definitely not.” Shaun said complicatedly, “I’ve seen the doctor, and the doctor said I’m fine too. I actually wanted to be with Sarah last night. I tried, but I couldn’t.”
Chester flicked the cigarette ash. “This is the first time I’ve heard something like that. What about Sarah? She loves you so much. If she finds out that you were with Cate last night, she’ll cry herself to death. As for you, why didn’t you run to the hospital?”
Shaun was silent. In fact, he had also thought about that question when he had sobered up, but at that moment, the only thought in his mind was for Cate to help him. He did not even think of the hospital.
“Could it be that… you haven’t forgotten Cate?”
Chester’s words made his heart jump. “Impossible. The one I love is Sarah.”
“You love Sarah, yet you can’t touch her.” Chester raised his eyebrows doubtfully. “Shaun, don’t you find it very strange? During that car accident, you looked jealous when you saw Cate and Joseph Talton together.”
“Me, jealous?” Shaun reacted as if his ego was crushed. “I’m not. I just didn’t want to be cuckolded.”
“Are you really sure you don’t have Cate in your heart? Who were you thinking about when you were with her last night?” Chester asked sharply.
Shaun’s thin lips moved. He felt a hint of satisfaction when he recalled what happened last night. It was a feeling that he had never had with Sarah. He even wanted to kiss Cate when he was eating just now.
“Chester, I really don’t know what’s wrong with me.” Shaun was conflicted and distressed.
He had always been very clear about his emotions. He loved Sarah, and he hated Cate.
However, he was now confused.
Seeing his expression, Chester also frowned in worry. “Think it over. Although I don’t like Cate, you shouldn’t hurt both women.”
As soon as he said that, Rodney called. “Chester, have you found Shaun? My plane just landed in Melbourne.”
Chester looked at the time. It was only 8:30 a.m. “Rodney, it takes seven to eight hours to fly back from Country Y. Did you rush back overnight right after you got the call last night?”
“Duh. You didn’t return my calls. If I didn’t rush back, what would happen to Sarah if Shaun was with another woman?”
“I had an important surgery last night.” Chester coughed into his fist. “He can’t do it anyway, so you have nothing to worry about. He’ll be fine after a drip.”
Shaun’s face darkened as he stared at Chester, who shot him a wink.
After the call ended, Chester shrugged helplessly. “You should be glad that Rodney wasn’t the one who found you. If he did, you’d be in deep trouble.”
The two men exchanged glances. After all, they both knew Rodney’s feelings for Sarah.
“About Sarah…”
“Just keep it a secret from her.”
Chester opened the car door, and Shaun got in.
Just as the car drove out of the neighborhood, Shaun took out his phone and got a call from Sarah.
“Shaun, where are you? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do that last night.” Sarah’s choked voice came through. “Where did you go afterward? I was so worried that I spent all night searching for you.”
“I was… in the hospital getting a drip last night.” Shaun was instantly struck with guilt when he heard her cry.
“Really?” Sarah murmured, “I was so worried that you would go to Cate. Shaun, I’m so afraid of losing you. I love you.”
“I know, Sarah. You should go back and take a rest. I still have work to do at the company, but I’ll be home early in the afternoon.”
