In the study, Shaun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a glass of red wine, looking out the window at the snow on the ground.
He hoped that Cate would not let him down.
Yes, although he loved her, if she wanted to continue getting involved with Wesley Sanderson, then he could only give up that love.
Although Wesley had saved her life, at most, Shaun would give him more subsidies in the man’s career in the future. He could not use his woman to repay him.
Shaun took a sip of red wine in annoyance.
Hadley stood behind him silently. “Young Master Lyons, why didn’t you tell Ms. Cox about the photos?”
“What’s the point of telling her? Would she believe me? Wesley Sanderson is her savior now. She’ll think that I’m deliberately shoving a wedge between them,” Shaun sneered.
Hadley was silent. He had to admit that Wesley Sanderson was very determined. In order to get Cate, he even threw away his kidney. If Hadley was a woman, he would be moved too.
…
Late at night.
Cate took a shower and sat on the bed in a daze. In the end, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Mireya, asking her to go to the hospital to see Wesley on her behalf.
Mireya: [Holy sh*t, Wesley Sanderson lost a kidney for you. What do you think? You won’t be moved, right?]
Cate: [I never thought he would do that. I owe him too much. I won’t be able to repay him my entire life.]
Mireya: [Forget it, don’t think about it. Take it one step at a time. I’m planning to bring Patrick home for Christmas. Then I’ll accompany him to the Jackson family on New Year’s Eve.]
Cate: [You guys made up?]
Mireya: [I ignored him for half a month, and he promised me to meet with Linda Shelby as little as possible in the future. I’ll introduce a boyfriend to Linda as well. I want to give Patrick one more chance. I love him too much.]
Cate: [Congratulations on finding your Mr. Right.]
Just as she sent the message, the bedroom door opened.
Her hand shook, and she subconsciously turned off the screen before putting the phone down.
“Who are you chatting with?” Shaun smelled faintly of red wine, and his handsome face was tinted red. “Show me your phone.”
Cate could not believe it. Shaun had never checked her phone before, but he refused to give her this last bit of privacy now. “Shaun Lyons, don’t go too far.”
“Too far? How would I know if you’d contact Nathan Lowe or Wesley Sanderson behind my back?” Shaun never liked men who insisted on checking their woman’s phone, but when he saw the smile on Cate’s lips earlier, his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable. He had to be sure.
Cate never thought that the trust between them had fallen so low. However, he might misunderstand again if he saw the contents on her phone, so she simply said frankly, “I was chatting with Mireya. She was talking about her boyfriend. Also… she’ll go to the hospital to see Wesley. I can’t go myself, but can’t my friends go on my behalf…?”
She watched helplessly as Shaun’s handsome face turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her heart suddenly felt tired.
“Cate Cox, are you that hung up on Wesley Sanderson? It’s my bed you’re sleeping on now.” Shaun grabbed her phone and smashed it on the wall.
The loud crash caused Cate to cover her ears in fright.
Shaun pried her hands away and pressed her on the bed, kissing her hard on the lips.
“Tell me, is my kiss more comfortable, or is Wesley Sanderson’ kiss more comfortable?”
He kissed her like he was mad. Cate was hurting from the kiss and pushed him away, but she could not get him to budge at all.
Shaun had drunk half a bottle of red wine in the study. His possessiveness seemed to be instantly ignited. When he remembered her kiss with Wesley, his eyes turned red as he kissed her even harder.
“Don’t, it hurts.” Cate dodged in pain.
“Why are you avoiding my kiss? Do you wish I was Wesley instead?” Shaun was already overwhelmed by the flames of jealousy. He tore open her loungewear with force. “Did he make that night very unforgettable? Is that why you showed up at the police station with him today? You just can’t let him go.”
Cate was genuinely frightened. She quickly grabbed his hand and shook her head helplessly. “No, I’m tired. I was scared today. I don’t want to…”
“You don’t want to because it’s me, right?” Shaun suddenly sneered. “Your mind is full of Wesley Sanderson now. You’d be willing if it were him, right?”
“Why do you keep misunderstanding me?”
Cate really felt very tired and disheartened. She almost died today, but he did not care about her at all. He only knew how to doubt her.
She smiled miserably and did not move. She stopped resisting. “Fine, just take it if you want to. Do whatever you want.”
Her tears slipped from the corners of her eyes and flowed into her hair. Her eyes were dim.
She was always being doubted, trampled on, and humiliated by him, but she was still a human being.
Shaun’s body stiffened as if he was suddenly hit on the head.
Why had he become like this? It was like he had become a demon. He could not control himself.
For a woman? He actually lost his rationality because of a woman?
He turned around and rushed into the bathroom to turn on the shower.
Cold water poured down from above him, and he was suddenly disgusted with himself.
When he came out of the shower, Cate was sleeping on the edge of the bed with her back to him. Like a tiny quail, she curled into a ball to protect herself from harm.
Shaun slept on the other side. The two were separated by a distance, but no one came closer.
He did not know that Cate, who had her back to him, had tears streaming down her face. She did not fall asleep until it was very late at night.
At dawn, Shaun woke up, but Cate was no longer in bed.
He quickly got up and went downstairs. Cate was sitting at the dining table eating oatmeal.
His brows loosened slightly, and he swiftly walked down. He sat across from her and asked coldly, “Where’s my breakfast?”
“Young Master Lyons, your breakfast is here.” Aunty Linda came out with the breakfast she made.
Shaun looked at it, and his face instantly became displeased. “Cate Cox, you didn’t make breakfast for me.”
“You were the one who said my cooking is as dirty as I am.” Cate faced him calmly. He was always like this. When he misunderstood her, he humiliated her for making him breakfast, but then now he wanted her to cook again. Did he not get tired?
“Make it for me right now.” Shaun’s face was completely dark.
“No. I didn’t sell my body to you.” Cate stood up after finishing her oatmeal. “I’m going to work.”
Shaun turned and spoke to Elle who was standing at the door. “Follow her closely. If she dares to go to the hospital, knock her out and bring her back here.”
“I’m not your slave.” Cate’s eyes grew red with anger. She had already decided not to go to the hospital, but he still insisted on forcing her using these kinds of methods. “Shaun Lyons, don’t go too far.”
