“Go to sleep.” Shaun hugged her and turned off the lights before lying down.
He soon fell asleep while taking in her scent.
However, Cate could not sleep.
She was getting hungry.
She ate a lot during dinner with Charity, but she was hungry again before it was 11:00 p.m. When did her appetite grow so big?
The next day.
When Cate woke up, it was already 9:00 a.m.
It was the first time she woke up so late. She hurried downstairs, and Shaun, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, immediately got up. “I prepared breakfast for you, so—”
“Shaun Lyons, did you turn my alarm off?” Cate interrupted him angrily.
“Your alarm rang for a long time but you were still sleeping like a little pig, so I turned it off.”
“That’s impossible. I usually wake up at the slightest sound.”
Cate huffed, refusing to admit that she was so deeply asleep.
Her eyes were wide and round, and her hair was tousled as she just woke up. Her cheeks were also painted with a red blush, making her look adorable.
Shaun only laughed. “I knew that you’d accuse me. Fortunately, I recorded a video as proof.”
He played the video. On the screen, she was sleeping soundly on his arm as the alarm rang loudly. She simply frowned and reached for the blanket before continuing to sleep.
Cate, “…”
If she had not seen this with her own eyes, she would not have known that she could sleep like that.
She even used his arm as a pillow.
How depressing.
“Be good. Breakfast is on the stove. It’ll be ready soon.” Shaun looked at her red face and smiled. Then, he went to the kitchen to cook.
Cate originally wanted to say ‘I don’t want to eat’, but her stomach suddenly grumbled, so she could not bring herself to say those words.
Forget it. In any case, she used to be the one who cooked for him before. It was time for him to repay her.
Three minutes later, a steaming bowl of noodles was served.
Cate took a bite and found the taste odd.
“You didn’t add salt?”
“That’s impossible. I remember I added it.” Shaun tasted it and realized that he really did not add the salt.
“Forget it. Bring the salt over.” Cate sighed.
Shaun lowered his eyes in chagrin and walked to the side with his head down.
Cate watched him walk in the wrong direction. “Wait, the salt is in the kitchen. Why are you going to the bathroom?”
Shaun froze at her reminder and walked into the kitchen as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Behind him, Cate’s frown grew deeper.
He was acting like her grandmother who had developed dementia, but Shaun was still so young…
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
She opened the gate and Hadley hurriedly entered with a heavy frown. “Young Madam, I got someone to investigate the matter last night. Rosabella Cox escaped a few months ago.”
As expected…
Cate was even more sure of the answer in her heart now.
However, Shaun’s face became unpleasant. “Idiot! How could you let her escape even after sending her to that remote mountainous area?”
Hadley was vexed. “The man said that a van picked her up when he was chasing after her.”
“It’s hard to believe that Rosabella Cox still has any accomplices. Go and look into that van,” Shaun ordered coldly.
“Yes.” Hadley paused and could not help but ask, “Young Madam, you suddenly asked me to check on Rosabella Cox yesterday. Are you aware of something?”
Shaun also stared at Cate in confusion.
“I can’t tell you now.”
Cate looked away. Shaun probably would not believe her if she said that Shelley Langley might be Rosabella Cox. He might even blame her for using unfair methods to deal with Shelley.
“Tell me. I don’t like it when you hide things from me.” Shaun pulled on her shoulder domineeringly.
Cate was speechless. “Then why didn’t you think of how I felt when you kept Shelley Langley with you while hiding it from me?”
Shaun, “…”
There it was again. He was most afraid of her mentioning that.
“Eat. The noodles will get soggy.” Eldest Young Master Lyons did not dare to ask anything more as he was afraid of drawing her ire.
Cate scoffed, not wanting to be in a bad mood because of him.
However, after taking a bite, Cate finally lost her temper. “Shaun Lyons, where’s my salt?”
“It’s here, it’s here.” Shaun handed her the salt with a fawning expression.
Hadley was completely speechless as he watched the scene. He never expected the high and mighty Eldest Young Master Lyons to become such a kiss*ss.
His WhatsApp name had also been changed to a cheesy name like ‘Shauncierely Yours’, making everyone think that his account had been hacked into.
This was why men should never be so pretentious. After all, the day when they got slapped would definitely come.
“By the way, Hadley, didn’t you say there was a supply contract I had to sign yesterday? Did you bring it today?” Shaun suddenly asked.
Hadley paused. “Eldest Young Master Lyons, you already signed it yesterday. Don’t you remember?”
Shaun frowned and wanted to recall harder, but his head hurt again and his face paled in pain.
“Eldest Young Master Lyons, let’s go to the hospital. You need an IV drip.” Hadley looked pleadingly at Cate. “Young Madam, can you bring him there?
“My car broke down and I took a cab here. Young Madam, Eldest Young Master Lyons needs to get an IV drip every day. He has to go.”
“…”
Cate was speechless. She was completely unprepared for this.
How did Shaun become so sick?
“Wait until I finish my noodles.”
She picked up her fork again.
Shaun secretly shot Hadley a gratified look. Good job!
15 minutes later, Cate drove out a new Porsche from the garage.
After Shaun got in, he turned and said to Hadley, “Drive over the supercar I gave her before tomorrow.”
Cate suddenly remembered that the supercar he gave her had the car plate number ‘4EVA’. It was the only car of its kind in the country, so she had been quite happy when she received it.
“No need, I don’t like it anymore.” After she finished speaking, she added, “Eldest Young Master Lyons, you should save your hobby of using numbers to confess to other people. I’m afraid I’d be disgusted if I sat in it.”
4EVA? What nonsense.
Just the thought of it made her want to vomit.
“…”
