That night, Shaun drank glass after glass of wine. Chase could not stop him.
Shaun’s alcohol tolerance was high, but he drank a lot tonight and surprisingly got a little drunk.
“I suddenly miss Sarah.”
He looked at the night outside the window and whispered, “Out of all the women around me, she was the only one who was wholehearted to me. There was no deception and no betrayal. Why did she have to die?”
Chase held his glass, a twinge of pain welling in his heart.
What others saw was the noble and mysterious Young Master Lyons, but he knew that Shaun had grown up without his parents’ love. Inside, he was an extremely insecure person. Even when he was in kindergarten, those who approached him had hidden agendas, causing him to become very suspicious.
This time, Shaun was really hurt.
As his friend, Chase suddenly regretted calling him to Melbourne. He did not expect that Shaun’s heart, which had always been frozen, would suddenly be moved.
Chase accompanied him to drink until Shaun got drunk.
This was the second time Chase saw Shaun this drunk.
On the coffee table, the new phone vibrated constantly. Cate was repeatedly calling Shaun.
Chase picked up the phone and answered the call. Cate’s hoarse voice sounded from the other end. “Where are you? It’s already very late. Come home, yeah?”
“Shaun’s drunk.” Chase sighed.
“I’ll come pick him up right away,” Cate quickly said.
“No need. You won’t be able to move him anyway. I’ll send him back myself.”
After the call ended, Cate waited at the door.
It was snowing tonight, and snowflakes fluttered around outside, blanketing everything in white.
Half an hour later, Chase drove over in his car. He sighed softly when he saw the slender figure standing in the cold wind.
After the car was parked, Cate opened the door to the back seat. It was her first time seeing Shaun so drunk. His handsome face clearly showed that he was intoxicated, and he seemed to have lost consciousness in the backseat.
She and Chase helped Shaun to the bedroom together. Cate looked at Chase, feeling at a loss. “Young Master Harrison, thank you. I…”
“Well, Shaun told me to check on your case. I know you didn’t mean it.” Chase had a headache. He also did not know what to say. “I’ll go now.”
Cate could see that Chase was treating her somewhat differently than before. He did not laugh and smile as he did to her in the past. She grew a little sad because of it. She knew that he did not want to talk to her much, but she could not help but ask, “Young Master Harrison, do you know what he thinks about this?”
“Rin, any man would be offended by that,” Chase said helplessly, “You should have told Shaun about this earlier. Now that it has become widely known, to be honest, it’s quite embarrassing.”
Cate’s face paled. “Nothing happened between Wesley and me. It’s true.”
“It’s useless to tell me that. You need Shaun to believe you.”
Chase shook his head and left.
Cate stood dumbfounded for a moment. She understood what Chase meant. Shaun did not believe her.
What should she do?
She was really in love with him now. She did not want to leave him.
She stared deeply at the man on the bed. It might be because he had drunk too much and did not feel well, so his stomach became uncomfortable as well. He kept rubbing his stomach. The heating was turned on in the room and he had not taken off his coat, so a layer of sweat soon formed on his forehead.
Cate fetched a basin of hot water. She took off his coat, unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, and wiped his exquisitely handsome face with a towel.
“Sarah…” The man suddenly grabbed her hand, and a low murmur escaped his thin lips.
Cate froze as if a bucket of cold water was dumped on her.
Sarah?
Who was that? Was it his ex-girlfriend?
A woman’s heart was always sharper than anyone else’s
Cate pulled her hand away from his grip forcefully. The man’s hand grabbed the air, and he called out to Sarah again.
She turned around and sat on the edge of the bed. Her eyes reddened, and her heart was pricked as if it was being stabbed. It hurt.
…
The next morning.
Shaun woke up with a hangover. His head hurt, and his stomach felt uncomfortable too.
He looked at the surroundings and realized that it was his bedroom in the villa.
Why did Chase send him back here? He really did not want to face Cate now.
However, he had drunk too much last night and was feeling very uncomfortable now.
Looking around, he suddenly saw a cup of warm water and two stomach pills sitting by the edge of the nightstand. His dark eyes widened.
Aunty Linda would never be so attentive, and she did not know what medicine he usually took either. Only that woman…
He took the medicine with a distracted heart. He only went downstairs after washing up and when his stomach felt a little better.
Aunty Linda was cleaning when she saw him come down. She smiled. “The madam is making breakfast for you now.”
Shaun went to the dining table. There were plates of steamed buns, light vegetables, apples, and yogurt.
The kitchen sliding door opened, and Cate came out with a pot of freshly cooked millet porridge. She wore pink loungewear with an apron tied around her waist. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, revealing her clean and pretty little face. It made her look gentle and serene.
“You drank too much last night, so it’s better to eat something light in the morning. Porridge is easy to digest and won’t be a burden on your stomach.”
Cate said while scooping a bowl of porridge with a ladle, placing it in front of him.
Shaun glanced at the porridge and then at her. The image of her holding Wesley’s neck and kissing him hard suddenly appeared in his mind.
A string in his heart seemed to snap hard.
He got up and dumped the porridge directly into the trash can. He then stared at her with cold eyes. “The things you cook are dirty.”
Cate’s face suddenly paled. After a long time, she blinked her eyes that were about to overflow with tears. “Since you think I’m dirty, why don’t I leave?”
He had called out another woman’s name when he slept, anyway.
In fact, maybe he did not love her that much.
