The lump in Shaun’s throat bobbed. A moment later, he cursed under his breath and covered her with the blanket before walking out.
He did not know what possessed him to go to the kitchen. He used his phone to find out what one should eat if their stomach was uncomfortable after a night of drinking.
It seemed that tomato juice was a good idea.
However, he had not lived in this house for several months, so there was no food at home. He could only call Hadley. “Get me some tomatoes right away.”
“…”
Hadley, who was just getting ready to go to bed, had a pained expression on his face. “Young Master, where do you expect me to find tomatoes at this time of the night? Are you making juice for Miss Cox…”
“Her? It’s good enough if I don’t kill her. Hurry up. I want them in 20 minutes.” Shaun ended the call resolutely.
Hadley, “…”
Where was he supposed to find tomatoes in the middle of the night?
The assistant who could do anything never expected that he would be stumped by tomatoes.
In the end, Hadley could only ask the boss of the nearby supermarket to open the doors for the guards to get the tomatoes. They were then delivered to Shaun.
When Shaun got the tomatoes, he peeled off the skin on each one, squeezed them to make the juice, and brought the glass into the room.
Cate was curled up in bed, asleep. He picked her up and fed her the juice. She opened her mouth subconsciously. The sour juice made her stomach feel better and she no longer felt as nauseous.
After drinking, she lay quietly in bed with her eyelashes trembling like wings. Her lips were dyed red by the tomatoes, making her look like a flower waiting to be picked.
Shaun gulped. He was a normal man, and he had also tasted her lips late at night before.
However, at that moment, her phone beside the table suddenly vibrated. The screen showed a message sent by Wesley Sanderson. [I miss you.]
Shaun suddenly looked cold. A moment later, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.
It had been foolish of him to go all the way there in a helicopter to save her.
…
The next day.
Cate opened her eyes and woke up to find herself on an unfamiliar bed.
She sat up with a start.
Where was she?
Cate remembered something had happened to Mireya last night. When she rushed over, she met Shaun’s friend who wanted to teach her a lesson. In order to get 10,000 dollars to free herself and Mireya, she ended up drinking a lot. Plus, when someone arrived, she seemed to have… kissed him…?
Then, she vaguely remembered getting on a helicopter…
As expected, her memories were all muddled after drinking too much. Where did the helicopter fly to last night?
Did someone sleep with her?
Shuddering at the thought, she lifted the blanket to take a look and almost cried when she saw that she was still wearing that bunny outfit. However, it did not seem to have ever been taken off, so that was good.
She looked around and saw a wardrobe. She needed something to cover herself with.
Just as she got up from the covers, the door suddenly opened.
Shaun elegantly walked in while donning a navy blue robe, and Cate’s whole body froze when she saw him.
“Why… are you here?”
Shaun did not speak. His deep gaze fell on her, watching as her bare little white feet stepped on the white carpet and the rabbit ears on her head wiggled.
Lifting his long legs, he walked toward her step by step.
Cate was first shocked by his appearance and then she found that the look in his eyes was very familiar. With a jolt, she remembered what she was wearing and turned around in shame. She hurriedly burrowed under the covers, saying, “Don’t… Don’t come over.”
Her defensive stance felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, making him sober up instantly. He sneered, “You didn’t feel ashamed dancing in front of all those men dressed like that last night, so why are you pretending to be ashamed in front of me?”
“You still have the nerve to say that?” Cate glared at him, her eyes reddening in shame. “It was because of your friend… No, in the end, it was because of you. You’re the most classless ex I’ve ever seen.”
“Cate Cox, don’t push your luck.” Shaun’s expression darkened. “You were dancing and flirting with those men last night. If I hadn’t shown up, do you think you’d be standing in front of me in one piece?”
“Don’t you know why I was dancing in the first place? I even suspected that you were working with your friend to mess with me.” Cate took a deep breath and tried to calm down. “Where’s Mireya?”
Shaun looked at her coldly and remained silent.
Cate was furious and said angrily, “If anything happens to Mireya, I won’t let you go even if I become a ghost.”
“Sure. Let’s see what you end up doing.” Shaun slowly walked to the edge of the bed. His arms were propped up on the bed as he bent his handsome body. His charming face became enlarged in front of her eyes, and his gaze contained mockery. “Who do you think you are?”
Thoroughly belittled, Cate felt that she was about to pop a vein. However, she was helpless. “Fine, I don’t care what you think, but I was just doing what your friend wanted. My dignity was completely trampled on by you guys, so you must be happy now. Can you let me and my friend go?”
“Dream on. It’s your fault for appearing in front of me instead of staying obediently in Melbourne.” Shaun suddenly turned around and sat on the bed. He pulled out his phone and opened a video, saying in a playful tone. “What do you think will happen if I release this video? Will Joel Yule still dare to acknowledge you as part of the Yule family?”
Cate only took a look at it and was so ashamed of herself that she wanted to bury herself in a hole.
She did not dare to imagine what would happen if a video like that was released. The Yule family’s reputation would be ruined. If she was kicked out of the Yule family, how would she find out the cause of her mother’s death?
“Shaun Lyons, delete it now.” She tried to grab the phone, but Shaun dodged. She could not stop herself in time and fell directly onto his chest.
Looking down from that angle, her bunny suit looked even more tempting.
Shaun’s gaze lingered on her chest. “Are you seducing me?”
“No…” Before she could finish, she felt his hand gently patting her hip.
“Shaun Lyons, you hoodlum!” Cate’s face turned red with shame.
“How am I a hoodlum?” Shaun’s hands were propped on either side of her shoulders, with a spiteful gaze.
Cate subconsciously covered her thin lips, and she felt that her face was burning. “Shut up.”
“Why? Do you hate me now?” Shaun pulled her hand away and gritted his teeth. “Cate Cox, I’ve just been away for a while but you couldn’t wait to get engaged to Wesley Sanderson. Tell me, does he know that you’re with me now?”
“Shaun Lyons, that’s enough…”
Cate turned pale. When she remembered her promise to Wesley, she really felt sorry for him.
Her distracted look made Shaun completely furious, and he lowered his head to kiss her red lips.
He thought he was already disgusted with her, but when her familiar taste enveloped his senses, he only thought that it felt too damn good.
Cate struggled hard, but it was no use. Her hands were being firmly pressed by his, and the man’s strength completely dominated her.
Soon, she was left dizzy from his kiss.
Since he left, she often suffered from insomnia and would think of him in the middle of the night. Although she was engaged to Wesley now, whenever Wesley tried approaching her, she subconsciously resisted him.
It was not like how she was now, yearning for the scent of his body.
