Damn it, why did he remember all the sweet words she had previously said so clearly?
The more he spoke, the more furious he became.
“Uh…” Cate was completely stunned and stammered, “I… Did I say… such sappy things?”
“…”
Shaun stared at her fiercely for a moment before laughing in exasperation.
How could there be such a heartless woman? She said those words then turned around and forgot about them. She was simply scum.
Cate seriously thought that he would pour the noodles over her head. She shrank back in fear.
“Well… If you’re this angry, could it be that you’re… in love with me?”
“Dream on.” Shaun immediately bristled like a tiger whose tail got stepped on. His voice went higher. “In love with you?”
He still had that condescending look on his face that really made Cate uncomfortable.
“Which part of me is unworthy of you? You’re just a lawyer, and I’m a chief designer. We earn about the same amount of money, right?”
“Heh.” Shaun sized her up and down. His eyes seemed to exude the question of ‘Who do you think you are?’
Did this woman not know who he was?
Cate said defiantly, “What, aren’t you just relying on the fact that you’re good friends with Young Master Harrison? You really take yourself too seriously.”
“…”
Shaun felt his stomach hurt in anger.
Cate saw him fall silent and thought that she had poked his self-esteem.
“If you don’t want to eat the noodles, then throw them away. In any case, I’m not doing this again. Let me make this clear, I cooked for you before because I was pursuing you. Now that I’m not, I have no obligation to cook for you anymore.”
She looked at his livid face as she spoke and did not dare to stay any longer. She stood up and took her bag.
Shaun’s cold eyes locked onto hers tightly, and his voice was full of resentment. “Cate Cox, of all the women who have pursued me before, you’re the one who used the shortest amount of time. Did you really even like me?”
Cate’s heart beat faster as he stared at her, suddenly feeling guilty.
How could she say that she had only pursued him because she thought he was Nathan Lowe’s uncle?
Now that she knew he was not, she naturally could not continue wasting time on him.
However, she might die if she told him the truth.
“Answer my question.” Shaun gripped her arm tightly and pinned her to the edge of the dining table.
“Of… Of course, I did.” Cate calmed her mind and tried to keep herself from being exposed. “You… You’re so handsome, so I was captivated by you the moment I saw you…”
“Then why did you stop liking me?” Shaun lowered his head. The tip of his nose almost brushed against hers.
The woman’s sweet and fragrant scent reminded him of the kiss in the restaurant before, causing him to almost kiss her again.
Cate’s scalp tingled as she said incoherently, “Because… Because after looking at you more, I discovered that your personality is too horrible and I can’t stand it…”
Shaun’s thin lips which were about to kiss her suddenly paused. His eyes gradually darkened as a surge of anger rose in his chest.
“Since you like me, shouldn’t you also like my temper? Are your feelings so shallow and superficial? Were you playing with me?”
Damn it. This was the first time he wanted to strangle a woman so much.
Cate’s legs were trembling with fear. She wanted to cry. Why had she come tonight?
“I was wrong. I’m just that shallow and superficial. Please let me go.”
The woman’s face flashed with a deep fear, and her clear and watery eyes were like a kitten’s. She did not dare to approach him at all.
Shaun’s heart was inexplicably seized in pain. It was the first time his heart was moved, but it was because of a complete scum of a woman.
“Get out.”
He could not control his anger and flung her to the ground. “Don’t let me see you again.”
The man’s force was very strong, and Cate ended up knocking her knee on the floor when she fell. It hurt like hell.
She forced herself to stand up, also becoming angry. “If it weren’t for Fudge, do you think I wanted to see you? You’re temperamental and moody. Who can stand you?”
Then, she swiftly slipped away.
This time, she was no longer coming back.
In the house, a tight string in Shaun’s mind completely snapped.
He grabbed the noodles she cooked and was just about to smash the bowl on the ground, but then he remembered that he had not had a good meal these days. He put the bowl down and smashed a cup instead.
After smashing it, his heart suddenly became empty and uncomfortable.
Why on earth did he have to be angry because of scum like her?
She said that she could not stand him.
Had she forgotten all the sweet words she said before? She changed so quickly it was like she was acting.
Fine.
He never wanted her to come back again. He would never look at her even if she came back to him and begged him.
He ate the noodles hatefully. It was really too goddamn spicy, so spicy that his stomach started to hurt again.
However, no matter how much it hurt, it could not compare to the pain in his heart.
…
When Cate went back, Mireya had a facial mask on at home.
Seeing Cate back, she joked and said, “Hey, back so soon? I thought you would be staying the night there.”
“What are you thinking about? I only went there because I was worried about Fudge.” Thinking of Fudge, Cate really had not wanted to leave. The three kittens were adorable.
Mireya walked over and sat next to her. “Aren’t you too concerned about Shaun Lyons’s cat?”
“What are you trying to say?” Cate frowned deeply.
Mireya peeled off her mask and revealed her beautiful fair, rosy face. “You used to live together every day and he even saved you several times. Have you fallen in love with him?”
Cate froze, feeling a little conflicted.
“At the beginning, I approached him with a purpose, but I was slightly moved when he saved me when I was being bullied by Zayn. Then, he saved me again when I was locked up at my old house. I really did sincerely want to spend the rest of my life with him, otherwise I wouldn’t have decided to give him my first time, but… What happened later made me come to my senses.”
Mireya patted her shoulder comfortingly.
Cate smiled bitterly. “I want to be cared for and cherished, but with him, all I experience is indifference, dislike, and no respect. It’s as if everything I do is wrong. It’s like I’m a more annoying existence to him than a fly. I don’t even have freedom. I’m tired, and after finding out that he isn’t Nathan’s uncle, I want to leave even more now.”
“Cate…”
“It’s better to be with you.” Cate held Mireya’s arm. “We can eat together, cook together, go shopping together, and relax together. Unfortunately, you still have Patrick. How nice would it be if you could just stay with me.”
“Shut up, I don’t swing that way.” Mireya pushed her away with a disgusted look. She sighed. “But Patrick is also very busy, so I’ll hang out with you for the time being.”
Cate could not help but remember Linda Shelby who was with Patrick before. “I met Linda Shelby at the party the other time. What’s her relationship with Patrick?”
