“…”
Was this supposed to be normal? The topic jumped from one to another too fast.
If it were back then in Melbourne, Cate would have answered that she loved him without hesitation. However, now…
Her short hesitation made Shaun’s heart sink. “Is it so hard to answer this question?”
“Hubby, you should go to work now.” Cate pushed him away and went upstairs.
Shaun watched as she left, and his gaze became gloomy.
He was not that stupid that he could not sense how she had simply said those words.
After arriving at the company.
He searched the web irritatedly: [Why women don’t get jealous?]
Answer 1: [This woman is independent. She is rational and restrains herself even if she’s dating.]
Answer 2: [This woman has a strong heart. She has complete trust in her other half and gives her full understanding to him.]
Answer 3: [She doesn’t love you enough.]
“…”
What the hell was the third answer?
He smashed the cup he was holding on the spot.
Hadley, who heard the commotion, came in and looked at him worriedly. Eldest Young Master Lyons’s temper was getting worse lately.
He could not understand. Eldest Young Master Lyons was all lovey-dovey with Miss Cox, but he would get angry in an instant.
Hadley was concerned. Eldest Young Master Lyons’s sickness seemed to be worsening.
…
On the other hand.
In the spacious office, Cate checked Yule Corporation’s shares.
Joel had gotten in an accident.
Yule Corporation’s shares were supposed to plummet today, but the shares unexpectedly continued to rise steadily.
She increasingly felt that Damien was not an easy person.
While she was pondering, Mireya called her. “Guess where I am?”
“I’m not in the mood to guess.”
“Fine. I just arrived at your company. I had a feeling you’d be in a bad mood since your dad got into an accident. As your bestie, I bought the tastiest dessert in the whole of Canberra and came over here to accompany you.” Mireya laughed. “I don’t believe Shaun is as attentive as me. Hmph.”
Cate was stunned for a moment and then said quickly, “Don’t come to the company. Turn around, get into the car, and leave.”
“Cate, what do you mean? I was being nice and drove from afar to console you. I was even stuck in the traffic for an hour…”
Just as Mireya was having an outburst of anger, she saw a refined, handsome silhouette walking toward her in long strides.
Her throat became hoarse.
The person in her memories whom she tried so hard to forget suddenly appeared before her eyes.
She felt breathless. It was as if something had exploded inside her head. She was nervous, flustered, and at a loss.
“Mireya…” Patrick walked up to her front.
During this period when they were apart, the girl who once followed him all over the place had become so dazzling. She had loose, honey-colored curly hair. She was wearing a red-knitted long cardigan with an oversized long white T-shirt beneath and a pair of Dr. Martens boots. She had some light makeup on, but her deep features had slight mixed-race characteristics, so she gave off a lazy yet attractive temperament.
Back then, she would look like she thinned a little whenever they made up after breaking up.
However, this time, she looked glowing and revitalized as if she was reborn.
For the first time, Patrick had a feeling that he could not get her.
“Alright, looks like you met Patrick already.” On the other side of the phone, Cate laughed bitterly. “He came and looked for me yesterday. You guys should talk.”
“…Okay.” Mireya gradually calmed down. She raised her head and looked at her ex-boyfriend.
“Mireya, why didn’t you tell me that you came to Canberra to work?” Patrick smiled at her bitterly. “You blocked all my phone calls and WhatsApp messages. Are you still angry even after making a fuss for so long?”
“Making a fuss?” Mireya’s heart grew cold. After all this time, he still thought that she was just throwing a tantrum as usual and that it would pass as long as he coaxed her?
“Fine, I admit that I was in the wrong that time. I’ve reflected on my mistakes. But it has been so long since that incident, so don’t be mad anymore. When we go back, I’ll meet your parents at their house to apologize. We can get married immediately.” Patrick held her hand.
He was really unused to the days without her around.
He used to think that dating was troublesome. Even if he was busy at work, he still had to make time to accompany her.
However, after she left, he began feeling empty during his free time. He would feel an indescribable sense of panic.
He admitted that he had not treasured her properly in the past and took her for granted, thinking that she would always stay by his side. Therefore, he ended up neglecting her a lot.
He would not do that anymore.
“I won’t go back.” Mireya remained still. “I’m working at Osher Corporation now, and my future career advancement is good here.”
Patrick was taken aback. “Wasn’t your previous job in Melbourne going well for you too?”
“…”
Mireya suddenly felt like crying. Exactly how unconcerned about her was he before? “Patrick Jackson, I stayed in Melbourne before this just for your sake. I have everything figured out now. I’m still young and pretty, so I want to explore the outside world more. I don’t want to get married. Why should I step into the grave of marriage so early?”
“Stop being unreasonable. Your greatest hope was to get married to me in the past—”
“I don’t want it now,” Mireya interrupted him. “Patrick, I already told you very clearly when we broke up last year. We’re done. I’m not joking, don’t come and look for me anymore.”
She turned around and walked away.
Patrick was dumbfounded. He chased after her and grabbed her hand. “Mireya, I don’t believe it. We’ve been together for so long and we broke up and made up so many times. How can you just say that we’re done? I swear, I’m absolutely not in love with Linda—”
“Then can you promise me not to contact her forever besides going to her funeral when she dies? You can call her right now. I’m giving you the last chance.” Mireya stared into his eyes.
Patrick was in disbelief. “Must you be so absurd? At most, I’ll promise you to lessen my interactions with her. I’ll also ask her to get a boyfriend as soon as possible—”
“Enough. You say this every single time. I refuse to listen to your nonsense anymore.”
Mireya was extremely annoyed.
“Why must you force me?”
Patrick continued grabbing her and refused to let go. “Mireya, enough is enough. Do you know how much work at the company I’m putting off these two days just to wait for you outside Hudson Corporation?”
“Shut up if you don’t know how to talk.” Mireya was infuriated upon hearing his words.
Would anyone woo their ex-girlfriend back like that? It was like he was doing charity work.
“You weren’t like this before. Are you being instigated by Cate? Why do you always listen to her? She came to Canberra and you followed. Now that she’s married, you can’t possibly follow her around forever,” Patrick blurted out in a rush.
“…”
Mireya almost died from anger.
If they were not in public, she would have taken her heels off and hit him with them.
Rodney was exiting the building after a project discussion when he saw that scene.
He tsked.
He had an impression that this woman was full of lies, and the way she spoke was harsh. Now, she was even getting involved with a man on the streets, and that man was obviously her boyfriend.
It just so happened that she had humiliated him before, and now he had the chance for revenge.
He grinned evilly and went over in long strides. “Hey, babe, who’s that?”
Mireya was in the middle of her rage when she heard the familiar voice of a man.
She turned back and saw Rodney, that showy guy, walking toward her with a smug expression.
“Babe, you said that you only loved me last night, and today you’re caught up with another guy. Are you toying with me?” Rodney’s ambiguous words almost made Mireya have goosebumps all over.
