“Do you think I’ll still believe your words?” Shaun did not bother looking into Cate’s eyes.
Cate lowered her eyes in silence. By the look of things, it appeared that there was nothing she could explain further.
She took a pen and signed the papers.
Her heart had never been this heavy when she was signing ‘Cate Cox’.
“I’m done. I’m going upstairs to pack my things. I’ll leave right after.”
She turned around and headed upstairs. Shaun did not plan to turn his head around. However, he eventually looked back and glanced at her in spite of himself.
She was dressed in pink loungewear, and her hair fell over her shoulders like a waterfall. A cedar-like scent lingered in the spot where she just left.
Shaun clenched his fists. The harder he clenched his fists, the less suffocation he felt in his chest.
He originally thought of lecturing her before she signed the papers.
Unexpectedly, she signed them without further hesitation. She probably could not wait to get together with Wesley again.
Hah…
He scoffed sarcastically. Having been through many obstacles, he certainly would not kill himself just because of her departure.
Half an hour later, Cate dragged her suitcases downstairs. At this moment, no one was in the living room, and the breakfast she made earlier had all ended up in the garbage bin.
She curled her lips. Wiping the tears in the corners of her eyes, she left.
As she watched the villa become further away through the rear-view mirror of the car, she muttered internally, ‘Goodbye, Shaun.’
She used to view this place as her only home and Shaun as her only family member.
Right now, she was finally alone again.
…
Less than 20 minutes after she left, Chase’s car was seen at the villa.
He swiftly ran upstairs, only to find Shaun standing on the balcony with his eyes on the road. He was holding a cigarette, and the ashtray beside him was filled with cigarette butts.
“Shaun, are you really going to return to Canberra?” Chase said sentimentally, “I’ll miss you, and it’ll feel different not having you around.”
“Are you going to miss me or miss having me as your law firm’s source of income?” Shaun let the ashes from the cigarette fall indifferently.
“…”
Embarrassed, Chase gave a light cough. “Look, even though you’ve been here for just a short period of time, you’ve raked in over a billion dollars for my law firm this year.”
Shaun shoved his hands into his pockets. His dark, deep eyes revealed a sense of chill.
Chase sighed. “Fine. If I’d known this earlier, I wouldn’t have invited you to Melbourne. So when are you leaving?”
“Tomorrow. Get someone to sell this villa.”
After speaking in an apathetic tone, Shaun turned around and entered the house.
Having nowhere to go for the time being, Cate headed to Mireya’s apartment.
After Cate pressed the doorbell for some time, Mireya opened the door. Her hair was unkempt and there was a strong smell of alcohol on her.
“Why did you come with your suitcases?” Puzzled and astonished, Mireya looked at the two suitcases beside Cate’s legs.
“I got a divorce, and I’ve been kicked out of the house. Since I haven’t bought a house, I have nowhere to stay except for your place.” Cate dragged her suitcases into the house. She flopped onto the couch like a soulless puppet.
“What?” Mireya flew into a rage. “Is it because of the photos? As your boyfriend, how could he not believe in you? I’m going to make him pay. He has gone too far…”
“Don’t go to him. He’s already aware that I initially approached him because I mistook him for Nathan’s uncle. He has also found out that you lied to him before this for the sake of getting me out of jail.”
Cate stopped Mireya.
“What? How did he manage to find out?” Mireya was dumbfounded. Damn, would Shaun fray her alive?
“I’m not sure. Only both of us know about this matter.” Cate looked at her with a helpless expression. “I didn’t tell him anything. Judging from the strong alcohol smell on you, you probably drank a lot last night. You do have the habit of talking nonsense after getting drunk.”
“Don’t accuse…” Mireya was struck by a thought while she was talking. She grabbed hold of her hair. “Now I remember. I think Chase was the one who sent me home last night, and I was quite drunk at that time. There seemed to be another man in the car, and he claimed to be your boyfriend.”
Cate was speechless.
She knew it. No doubt, Mireya was harboring a grudge against her.
Mireya knocked on her head violently. She wished she could rip her mouth apart.
“Sorry, Cate.” Dejected, Mireya immediately kneeled down in front of Cate. “I got you into trouble again. I have no idea how I can make it up to you during my lifetime. I feel too ashamed to face you. What about offering my brother to you as compensation for my mistake? I promise that he’ll be truly in love with you and stay faithful to you.”
“Forget about it.” Cate waved her hand, implying that she was too tired to scold her. “Anyway, it would’ve still been difficult for us to continue on with our relationship even if you hadn’t caused the problem. There’s the matter regarding Wesley and… his ex-girlfriend whom he just can’t get over. He always calls out her name when he’s drunk.”
“What? Why do men always have roving eyes?” Mireya gnashed her teeth at the thought of her own experience.
“By the way, you brought Patrick along to have dinner with your family last night, right? Why did you end up drinking?” Cate began to feel puzzled all of a sudden. “Could it be that… Patrick stood you up?”
Mireya bitterly said, “Linda met with an accident, and he went to look for her. He didn’t even give me a call. I’ve broken up with him as I’ve given up on him.”
“…Damn. What a total scumbag.”
Cate insulted in a fit of rage. Suddenly, she sighed. “Fine. You caused me to end up divorced and you’re single now as well. I’ll just treat you as my company. Even if Patrick asks you to reconcile with him this time, don’t agree to get together with him again.”
“Yeah, of course. I’m the one who hurt you. As long as you’re not married, I won’t dare to get married. If none of the men is interested in you, we can engage in a lesbian relationship.”
“Get lost. I’m not interested in you.” Cate, who was initially upset, did not know whether to cry or laugh at that moment.
…
The next morning.
The first thing Cate did after she got up from bed was to prepare breakfast for Shaun.
The minute she walked out of the bedroom, she was stunned at the sight of the unfamiliar living room.
She forgot that Shaun had divorced her.
She did not need to wake up early to cook for him anymore. Moreover, it would not concern her when she went out since there would not be a bodyguard to keep an eye on her.
