“Wake up.”
Cate sat up in shock, only to find Shaun sitting on the other end of the couch. He sounded like a devil.
Trembling, she asked, “When did you come back? So… How are you now?”
“Because of you, I had sodium chloride IV infusion in the hospital the entirety of the night.”
Shaun leaped to his feet. When he looked at her, the scene of him suffering last night crossed his mind again. It made him feel deeply humiliated.
“Cate, what I regret most in my life is having married you. I shouldn’t have saved you when you were locked in the old manor previously.”
Cate turned pale. However, his reaction was understandable to her. If she were in his shoes, she would have felt offended as well.
“Sorry… I’m really sorry… I won’t do it next time.”
“Next time?” Shaun pinched her chin violently. “Do you think there’s still a next time? I’m disgusted just looking at you. You wanted to throw yourself at me. Have you no shame? You’re just as filthy as a whore on the streets!”
He sounded icy as if he had been poisoned. Cate’s vision blurred right away.
All of a sudden, she thought that she was very stupid. What on earth had she done?
“What’s the point of crying? I won’t be soft-hearted just because you’re crying.” Shaun was irritated by her weeping. “Listen, I don’t want to eat whatever you make anymore. Don’t appear in front of me. Also, don’t step into my room. Your presence kills my appetite.”
He left the house immediately after he finished speaking in a cold manner.
Lying on the floor, Cate was both downhearted and exhausted.
To her, Shaun was an unbreakable wall.
Not only had she failed to weaken the wall, but he also completely hated her now.
Hah.
Fine. Let it be. She should not force anything that did not belong to her.
It was indeed her fault last night. She should not have done that kind of thing to him.
All he had done since then was to criticize her, which was considered nothing.
She dragged her blanket and returned to the bedroom with shivering legs. At that point, she was dizzy and uncomfortable.
Perhaps it was because of the incident last night that tormented her. Furthermore, she had not covered herself with a blanket when she slept on the couch, which was why she had caught a cold now.
She lay on the bed to rest. She soon became drowsy and fell asleep.
Then, she was woken by a call from Mireya. “So how did things go? Was it successful?”
“…”
“What happened?”
“You’re just overthinking.”
With a bitter smile, Cate described the incident to Mireya who was then overwhelmed by a sense of guilt. “Sorry, Cate. I probably didn’t think things through…”
“Since he’s not into me, I shouldn’t have forced it. What’s more, I got together with him for selfish reasons. Mireya, do you think that I shouldn’t have gotten married to Shaun just for the sake of taking revenge on Nathan?”
Cate was dazed at that moment.
Mireya sighed. “You’ve already embarked on this path. What else can you do when you’ve already reached this point? Are you going to stop halfway and get a divorce?”
Cate remained silent.
‘Right. I should get a divorce, shouldn’t I?’
She got up upon hanging up. With the door of the master bedroom left open, she noticed that Shaun had already left.
She let out a sigh. After the incident, he seemed to have changed into a totally different person, which caused her to feel very tense.
She casually cooked some noodles. After she finished her food, she received a call from Joseph. “Cate, are you done rendering the sketch for President Sanderson’ villa?”
“I’m done.”
“Alright. Bring the sketch to Golden Corporation and meet him. He has been urging for it.”
“Okay.”
She did not dare to slack off. She quickly got changed and made her way to Golden Corporation.
…
The office was situated in the newly-developed ecological zone in Melbourne and surrounded by towering buildings.
As Cate had told the corporation’s receptionist about her background, the receptionist allowed her to go up straight away.
When she was waiting for the elevator, someone walked out of another elevator. From her back, she looked like Nathan’s mother, Sonya Sanderson.
Sonya failed to notice her. She just headed toward the main door with her purse.
At that instant, the elevator arrived with a ding.
After regaining her senses, Cate entered the elevator with suspicions springing up in her mind.
She had bumped into Nathan in Green Mountain the other day, and this time, she came across Sonya. How coincidental.
Hang on, Wesley’s surname was Sanderson. Could he be Sonya’s relative?
However, Cate had never heard from Nathan before this that he was related to such a powerful person like Wesley.
All of a sudden, her head hurt as she could not figure it out.
The elevator reached the floor, and she subsequently walked into the president’s office.
Wesley happened to be entertaining a visitor, so she waited at the side for a while. Only after the guest left did she submit the sketch and rendering.
“Actually, I just called Joseph to ask about it without meaning to urge you. I didn’t expect that you were done with it already. Indeed, you’re highly efficient.”
Wesley took the sketch from her. When he shifted his gaze to Cate, he was momentarily stunned. “Miss Cox, you don’t look too good. Are you worn out after staying up late to finish the sketch?”
Cate was dumbfounded. Over the last two days, she had been physically and mentally exhausted. Indeed, she looked haggard.
Before she left the house, she had applied some makeup on her face. Little did she expect that Wesley would notice her pale look.
“No. I’m having mild insomnia lately.”
Wesley reckoned that she was suffering from insomnia probably because Nathan and Rosabella were going to get married. He could not help but pity her deep down.
Shortly afterward, something else crossed his mind. He had forgotten to keep the invitation card that his sister delivered just now…
Nevertheless, it was too late now. Cate stared at the invitation card with the words ‘Nathan Lowe & Rosabella Cox’ wedding day’ written on it.
She narrowed her eyes and gave a faint smile. “Mr. Sanderson, you know the Lowe and Cox families?”
Wesley kept the invitation card, then gave a light cough. “They’re just my distant relatives.”
He was worried that Cate would find out that he was Nathan’s uncle, which would give rise to conflict.
After all, Cate was a young lady. She might give up on designing his villa in the heat of the moment. Sympathetic toward her, Wesley really wanted to help her out.
“Oh.” His reply was pretty much the same as what Cate had expected. “Let me explain the sketch to you in detail, Mr. Sanderson.”
Wesley nodded. Considering that he was not a professional, he had quite a limited understanding of the detailed sketch.
Initially, Cate stood right in front of the office desk while explaining the sketch. However, it was inconvenient as the sketch was upside down from her angle.
