Wesley pointed to his right side. “Come and stand here.”
Upon obtaining his permission, Cate walked past the desk and got to his right side. She bent over, then stretched out her finger to point to an area. “I was afraid there wouldn’t be enough space to place the bookshelves, so I arranged one more row here…”
Wesley gazed at her long and slim fingers which resembled the tips of bamboo shoots. She was not standing right next to him. Although her shoulder was some distance away from him, he could smell the elegant scent emanating from her hair.
Having worked in this industry for years, he could always smell the heavy scent of perfume from the women around him. It was rare to find women like her who maintained a natural scent, and this kind of fragrance made him tingle.
With an impassive expression, Wesley glanced sideways at the woman who had neat black hair. Despite being dressed in a conservative turtleneck sweater, she looked elegant with her exquisite features and bright eyes.
She might look haggard, but it gave the man an urge to protect her.
“Mr. Sanderson, are you satisfied with such an arrangement?” Cate’s voice brought him to his senses all of a sudden.
“Yes, it looks great.”
Wesley was a little embarrassed as he completely failed to recall what she had said just now.
Given her discomfort, Cate was unconscious of it. It was probably because she had caught a cold.
Cate then spent the next 20 minutes describing the sketch in detail, assuming that Wesley would request the sketch to be modified in some way. After all, a designer could not possibly fulfill the client’s requirements 100%.
Wesley stated firmly, “I’m very satisfied. There’s nothing that needs to be modified. Just get it started tomorrow based on this plan.”
“So quickly? Don’t you need to choose a date?”
“I don’t believe in this kind of stuff. I wish to get the renovation done quickly so that I can move in as soon as possible. Currently, I live with a bunch of people who always urge me to get married. I don’t like it,” Wesley spoke in a joking tone.
“You’re not married yet, Mr. Sanderson?” Cate was astonished.
Wesley raised his brow. “Why? Do I look like I’m married?”
“Considering your maturity and success in your career, I just thought you were married.”
“I’m not.”
He stressed those words clearly.
Meanwhile, he observed Cate’s expression carefully. With a calm look, she did not seem to show any interest in him.
He sighed deep down at the thought of Nathan’s poor judgment. This woman was absolutely not the materialistic and narrow-minded sort.
“When I get back, I’ll discuss this matter with the renovation team and ask them to begin the renovation work tomorrow.” Cate shook his hand before she turned around and walked away.
Shortly after she left, Nathan gave Wesley a call.
“Uncle Wesley, did you really agree to recommend your friend’s villa in Green Mountain to Summit for the renovation?
“It’s all because of your mom who pestered me early in the morning. You said you wouldn’t bother me, you punk. So you got your mom to do it, huh?” Wesley said in a huff, “This is going to be the last time. Don’t ask me to help with the Cox family’s matters anymore.”
“Uncle Wesley, why are you having issues with the Cox family? Actually—”
“Get this clear. The Cox family’s marriage is related to the Lowe family, not me.” He hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking. Each time he saw Cate, he became more disgusted at the Cox family that consisted of all daughters. How unfair.
…
6:00 p.m.
After getting off from work, Cate went to the clinic to get some cold medicine.
When it was dinner time, Shaun was not back yet. She walked Fudge around the courtyard right after she finished her dinner.
Fudge was tired of walking, so she lay on the fence watching a bunch of youngsters playing basketball in the neighborhood.
A lady who was also walking a cat came to take a look at Fudge. She smiled and said, “Your cat is probably going to give birth in one month’s time.”
Cate was momentarily stunned. With a smile, she said, “Madam, I think you’re mistaken. My cat’s just a little too fat.”
“I don’t think so. I bumped into your husband earlier and even asked him about it. Your husband admitted that the cat is pregnant.”
“My husband?”
Was the lady referring to Shaun?
Indeed, Shaun would walk the cat occasionally. However, Fudge was not pregnant.
“Madam, I’m sure you’ve mistaken someone else for Shaun.”
“That’s unlikely. I might be a bit far-sighted, but your husband’s appearance is one of a kind. No one else in the neighborhood resembles him. Even those celebrities on TV aren’t as good-looking as him. What’s more, my cat is quite familiar with your cat as they’ve played together several times.”
As the lady was speaking, her cat came over. Fudge immediately meowed to greet the cat. They seemed close as if they were old acquaintances.
Cate was completely disheartened. Was Fudge pregnant?
Hang on, Fudge was actually a female cat?
God, she had always assumed that Fudge was a male cat.
It was because Fudge always pestered Cate, and moreover, her name sounded masculine.
“Apparently, you have poor vision, young lady. From her huge stomach, you can obviously tell that she’s pregnant. Didn’t your husband inform you about it?”
“I…” Damn.
“Thank you for reminding me. It’s my first time rearing a cat.”
After Cate bid the lady goodbye embarrassedly, she swiftly took a taxi to a veterinary hospital.
After the vet performed an ultrasound on the cat, he held his glasses and said, “You’re so relaxed, young lady. Your cat is going to give birth very soon.”
“…”
A series of garbled characters flashed across Cate’s mind.
Before she fully registered the news that Fudge was pregnant, she was told that Fudge was going to give birth soon.
“There are still ten more days until the due date,” the doctor added, “Keep a watchful eye on her these days. Anyway, her fur looks soft and shiny, so I’m guessing she usually has a nutritious diet and is quite fit. She should be able to give birth naturally.”
“…Well, may I know whether cats vomit during their pregnancy?”
“Some cats do. They might lose their appetite in early pregnancy.”
“…”
Cate absent-mindedly walked out of the hospital.
At that moment, she was preoccupied with the thought of being cheated by the scummy Shaun.
According to the timeline, Shaun should have found out about Fudge’s pregnancy during the check-up in the hospital when she vomited the other day.
Also, Fudge vomited not because Cate fed her with chips and beef but simply because she was pregnant.
Therefore, why had she even been feeling guilty about it all this while?
What was the point of her preparing different kinds of great food to soothe Fudge’s stomach?
She had not even done anything wrong. However, Shaun had put a label on her which caused her to feel extremely guilty each time she saw Fudge.
She had been tricked.
That was the only thought that struck her.
If it was not for Shaun who had saved her twice before this, she would really rush over to slap him twice.
What gave him the right to take the moral high ground and use Fudge as a reason to tell her off each time she came home late?
