Chase gave a light cough. “It must be fate that brought us together. Let’s have a meal together, okay?”
Mireya’s eyes sparkled. “Sure. I was just planning to have a toast with you to thank you for the help.”
“Let’s go.”
As Mireya and Chase were chatting, they entered the restaurant first.
Cate was dazed. How dare Mireya act so without asking Cate for her opinion?
Cate hesitantly looked at Shaun, yet he did not bother to even take a glimpse at her. He shoved his hand into the pocket of his trousers and went straight into the restaurant.
She quickly went after him as she wanted to find out about Fudge’s condition as well. She was quite anxious about it, considering that she had casually left the house the day before.
A server led the four of them to a private room. Once Cate stepped into the room, she gasped at the luxurious atmosphere.
Mireya approached Cate excitedly and whispered in her ear, “Sure enough, it’s your husband who booked it. This is Calia Pavilion, it’s the most luxurious private room in the entire restaurant. Even my dad wasn’t qualified to book it last time.”
Mireya said, “Only people with a net worth of at least 50 billion dollars are eligible to book the private room.” Cate was at a loss for words.
Mireya pinched Cate’s waist out of jealousy. “Actually, your husband is pretty good. Although you had hurt his dearest cat, all he did was kick you out of the house. Look, he has forgiven and forgotten what you did. He even helped you just now. How awesome he is!”
Cate said disdainfully, “Let me remind you who’s the one who kept criticizing him earlier.”
“Oh well, I only looked at him from afar back then. Little did I know that he’d turn out to be a very attractive man upon a closer look. The point is, he’s Nathan’s uncle. Think about the man’s wealth, status, and appearance which put your ex-boyfriend in the shade. Nathan will lose his cool if he appears in front of him, and this will also make Rosabella feel very jealous.”
Cate suddenly became eager at the thought of Rosabella’s pretentious manner.
“What are the two of you whispering in each other’s ears?” Chase asked, amused.
Only then did Cate notice that the two men in the private room had shifted their gazes to her. She was instantly embarrassed. “Thanks to the both of you, I have the privilege to enter this luxurious private room.”
“I thought both of you were talking about Shaun’s attractiveness,” Chase replied with a grimace.
His sharp words left Cate feeling ashamed. “You must be joking, Young Master Harrison.”
“Let’s start ordering food.”
Shaun flipped open the menu, his eyes revealing coldness. After casually ordering two dishes, he placed the menu on the table.
Chase spun the lazy Susan with his fingers until the menu reached Cate. “Order some food, Sister-in-law.”
Cate, who was drinking coffee, nearly choked upon hearing it.
She coughed violently a few times. From Chase’s mocking eyes, it dawned on her that Chase had already learned about her marriage with Shaun. Apparently, Shaun and Chase had a close relationship.
“Don’t call me that. I’ll lose my identity anytime.”
She took the menu embarrassingly. She noticed that the dishes Shaun had ordered were quite bland, so she chose some bland dishes as well.
Without much thought, Mireya said, “The signature grilled lamb chop here tastes good and is quite spicy. Don’t you like spicy food?”
A few seconds of eerie silence befell the private room.
After a while, Chase gave a chuckle. “She knows that Shaunny’s on a bland diet and that’s why she’s being considerate toward her husband.”
Mireya was momentarily stunned. She then shot a flirtatious glance at her best friend.
Cate blushed with shame. Although she was thick-skinned when dealing with Shaun privately, she could not help feeling embarrassed when such a matter was discussed in public.
“That… You guys have misunderstood me. My stomach hasn’t been feeling well recently, so I’m opting for blander food…”
“You don’t have to explain further. I understand.” Mireya patted Cate on the back of her hand while chuckling.
Cate was dejected. Sure enough, her friend turned out to be her betrayer.
Shaun, who had been quiet, raised his long, thick eyelashes and glanced at the woman opposite him.
She was wearing a pink knitted top today. The skin on her neck was milky, yet her face had reddened. The redness had even spread to the delicate skin around her ear lobes.
His eyes sparkled without him realizing it. However, he soon stifled the look, then took a sip of coffee.
Struck with an idea, Mireya took out her phone and pretended to discuss something with her best friend. “Which place are you planning to rent? I think this apartment is pretty good. It only costs 800 dollars per month.”
Chase said, “What kind of a good apartment are you able to rent with 800 dollars? Who’s planning to rent a place?”
Mireya sighed. “It’s Cate. She has no choice but to rent a place since she has been kicked out of the Cox family. She has nowhere to stay at the moment and is left with very little money. She stayed at a budget hotel last night. There weren’t any windows in the room, and what’s more, the bed linen didn’t get changed. Also, there were always people sliding little cards under the door. How dangerous.”
Lowering her head, Cate drank her coffee quietly. Mireya, who was a fantastic drama queen, was indeed her best friend.
Shaun frowned imperceptibly.
Chase turned his head to look at him, then moaned. “Shaun, how could you let your pretty wife stay at such a dangerous place? How incompetent you are at taking care of her!”
Cate immediately turned into a drama queen. “It’s my fault. I fed Fudge with chips, causing her to vomit. Shaun was right in kicking me out. By the way, how’s Fudge now? Is she fine?”
Chase responded while smiling, “Don’t blame yourself. Fudge is—”
“Not in a good condition.” Before Chase could continue, Shaun interrupted his speech. “Your apology is useless.”
With a strange expression, Chase felt sympathetic toward Cate whom he felt did not deserve the blame. This was very cruel of Shaun.
Cate turned pale all of a sudden. She was under the impression that Fudge’s condition had gotten better and that Shaun gave her a hand because his anger had subsided.
“Tell me how you’re going to make up for it,” Shaun suddenly spoke again.
Cate was in a daze. “With money? I don’t have any.” Shaun’s brows furrowed. This woman was usually quite shrewd, yet why was she so foolish at this crucial point?
“The doctor said that Fudge needs some rest. Her diet and living habits need to be managed well too. If you really feel guilty, you can take care of her meals three times a day during this period. Don’t let her take oily food. Instead, prepare more fresh and nutritious food that’s easy for her to digest.”
“Cough, cough.” Chase choked upon hearing the man’s shameless remarks.
Tsk. It finally dawned on him that Shaun wanted to get a pretty sitter for free.
Clever. How clever.
