“You’re insane, aren’t you?” The man’s sexy lips moved slightly. Nevertheless, the words that came out of his mouth were extremely mean.
At that moment, Cate felt like getting a mirror to take a hard look at herself.
Was she not pretty? Really? Anyway, it was impossible to grasp men’s thoughts. Otherwise, Nathan would not have betrayed her.
“I’m actually ill. ’m not insane but lovesick.”
Cate swiftly calmed down and gave an embarrassed smile. “I started getting lovesick when I met you for the first time.” When Shaun raised his eyebrows a little, Cate immediately seized the opportunity to say, “They say one can’t help feeling happy when they meet the love of their life, and this is exactly how I’m feeling at the moment.”
“Alright, I got it. You may leave now.”
The man averted his eyes away from her in a careless manner. From his expression, it seemed that he was unbothered by her.
Cate was deeply hurt. She was a great beauty and the pride of Sydney. At this moment, she had the urge to turn away. The moment she pictured herself becoming Nathan’s aunt, however, she summoned up the courage to talk to him again.
“Pretty boy, could I add your contact to my WhatsApp?”
Lying on the couch lazily with his eyes closed, Shaun looked delicately elegant.
“Pretty boy, could you give me your number?
“Pretty boy, could you tell me your name?
“Pretty boy, you look so charming with your eyes closed that women just find it irresistible.”
Annoyed by the completely shameless owner of the voice, Shaun opened his eyes and asked in annoyance, “What on earth do you want?”
“I want to marry you,” Cate blurted out.
The corners of Shaun’s mouth twitched.
While smiling, Cate added, “If I’m really not planning on marrying you, what I’ve just said would show that I’m a scumbag.”
“Actually, I’m quite a catch. I’m 22 this year, and I graduated from the University of New South Wales. I’m a competent woman who does well both at home and in public. Moreover, I’ll pamper my husband. I’m capable of earning money too. I’m healthy and don’t have any bad habits. Above all, I’m not a fickle lover.”
Shaun was speechless.
He rubbed his eyes, then gazed at her strangely.
Cate raised her hand. “I can swear that from now on, I’ll only treat you well and promise you everything I’ve said…” “Shut up.”
Shaun was so fed up with her that he stood up.
Only when Cate looked up did she realize that he was really tall. He was close to six feet and two inches, and furthermore, he had such a wonderful figure.
“If you want to marry me, bring your birth certificate and meet me at the registry office at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.” The man stared down at her with one hand in his pocket.
Cate was dumbfounded. She then stammered, “Are you lying to me?”
“You can give it a go.” Upon looking away, Shaun turned around and swaggered to leave.
The plot twist happened so quickly that Cate suspected she had drunk too much.
Such a thought remained until Mireya came to tap her on the shoulder. She said sympathetically, “Don’t get too upset. It’s not easy to capture the heart of a tall, wealthy, and handsome man. Keep it up—”
“No. He told me to meet him at the entrance of the registry office tomorrow at 10 a.m.,” Cate replied with a dazed look.
Mireya remained uncannily quiet for a moment before she burst out laughing. “Congratulations on becoming Nathan’s aunt!” Cate asked, “You believe him?”
Mireya forcefully pinched Cate’s soft face.
“Why not? Please. With your naturally pure look, you can easily beat those young ladies in the entertainment industry. If I were a man, I’d fall in love with you at first sight. Let’s go and have a drink to celebrate your marriage.”
Cate seriously wondered how much Mireya had drunk while she was away.
However, Cate began to have a hangover after drinking alcohol just now. She felt her head becoming heavy.
A Bentley Mulsanne slowly moved toward the pub entrance.
The valet opened the car door, and Shaun subsequently went to the backseat. He undid the two buttons of his shirt over his front chest while leaning against the leather seat lazily. “Didn’t I tell you to keep it low-key?”
Hadley Young politely replied, “This is actually the cheapest car in the Lyons family’s house.”
Shaun frowned a little. “Who else knows that I’m in Melbourne?” “No one except Old Madam.”
Shaun’s brows relaxed. By the look of things, the woman’s appearance just now was sheer coincidence. “Find out who this person is. I want to know her information before dawn.”
The morning sun shone through the curtains.
Cate, who was deep asleep, was woken by the noise outside.
Just as she opened her eyes, she saw Nathan opening the door and striding into her room.
Mireya, who followed him into the room, roared. “This is my house! You’re basically invading my home!”
“Sure enough, you’re here.” Nathan stared keenly at Cate who had bloodshot eyes and slightly messy hair.
Cate became wide awake at that moment, her eyes expressing dejection.
“The two of you should have a good chat. It hasn’t been easy being together for so many years.” After some thought, Mireya turned around and left, closing the door behind her.
The room was silent. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Nathan stretched out his hand to touch her hair.
With a scornful look, Cate dodged away from his hand. “Does Rosabella know that you’re here?”
Nathan’s handsome face froze, then he clenched his fist. “Cate, you’re probably unaware that the Cox family has decided to give Rosabella 80 percent of the company’s shares.”
Cate was so shocked that her lips turned pale. “This is impossible.”
‘It’s true. Your dad said it himself.”
Cate seemed to have grasped everything within minutes.
She lifted her head and looked at her childhood sweetheart whom she loved back then. Tears began to gush from her eyes. “So that’s why you abandoned me and chose Rosabella, right?”
Nathan gripped her hands. “This is just temporary. I’ve just gotten engaged to Rosabella, but I’ll leave our wedding on the back- burner. As you know, my dad has an illegitimate son. If I don’t do this, I wouldn’t even be able to compete. Cate, I just want to provide you with a good life.”
“Bullsh*t.”
Cate snatched her hand out of his grasp and threw insults at him. “You’re only 25 years old. Even if you don’t get any inheritance from your family, can’t you just start your own business?”
“You’re too naive.”
Nathan stood up slowly, hiding the emotions in his eyes. He said helplessly, “It’s not in our power to choose certain things due to our background.”
Cate looked cold without uttering a word as she found it unreasonable.
Amid the silence, Nathan sighed softly. “Give me three years, Cate. You’re still young. You can afford to wait.”
Cate nearly went mad.
How dare he say such things in a self-righteous manner when he only wanted to make her keep her youth for him?
“You’re treating me as a fool, aren’t you? You’ve chosen to be engaged to Rosabella for the sake of your career. Who knows whether you’ll marry her three years later? Please get out of my face. I don’t want to see you anymore!”
“Time will show my love for you. You can be upset with me, but don’t go out and drown your sorrows with alcohol. It’s not good for your health.”
Since Cate was not going along with what he said, he merely advised her before he turned around and left.
Upon hearing the door shut, Cate flung a pillow to the wall with reddened eyes and spent a few seconds sitting still. After that, she frantically put on her shirt and dashed out.
“He’s left. What’s the point of going after him?” Mireya quickly stopped her.
Cate took a deep breath, then gnashed her teeth. “I agreed to meet him at 10 a.m. to get married.” Mireya said, “You actually believe him?”
“Didn’t you say you believed him last night?”
