“What an evil creature. Because of her, the Cox family’s reputation has been ruined.” Fuming with anger, Jeffrey took the vase on the table and flung it. “Find a way to bring her back. I don’t want her to stay outside and continue being a disgrace to the family.”
Cate was discharged from the hospital after two days.
Shaun personally drove to the hospital to pick her up. Aware of the extraordinary treatment she was receiving, Cate felt flattered.
After driving a good distance, he did not return to Jadeite Bay. He arrived at the car park of a large mall instead.
With a carefree expression, Shaun said, “Fudge was very picky and had a poor appetite when you weren’t around to cook for her the last few days. Buy more ingredients and prepare something great for her.”
Gazing at his elegant face, Cate seriously wondered whether it was Fudge or him who was picky about food.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up.”
He was fed up with the unappetizing dishes Hadley brought for him over the past two days.
“Oh.” Cate undid the seatbelt and got out of the car. Since he had done her a favor this time, she planned on preparing a good meal for him as a token of her appreciation.
As she walked into the mall, over ten dishes and recipes for Fudge flashed across her mind.
There were quite a lot of ingredients she needed to buy. She also intended to get some yogurt, fresh milk, fruit, and junk food.
After one round of shopping, she realized that the cart was already full. It was definitely going to be a struggle for her to carry so many things.
After some thought, she sent Shaun a WhatsApp message. [Shaunny, I’m buying a lot of stuff, and I don’t think I can carry everything. Can you help me carry a few bags?]
After sending the message, she did not hear from him for as long as five minutes.
She sighed and stopped having high expectations of him.
Shaun simply could not be associated with the term ‘thoughtful’.
Amid her thoughts, someone suddenly cast a shadow over her. When she lifted her head, Shaun’s tall and upright figure appeared in front of her. The windbreaker he was wearing had been removed. At the moment, he was only dressed in a creamy white top which made him give off an aura of coolness and elegance.
Cate became absent-minded as she stared at him. This man looked perfect from all angles. Regardless of the clothes he wore, he seemed to have the exquisite looks that were typically featured on posters.
The woman showed a blank stare which Shaun had gotten used to since young. Surprisingly, he was not disgusted by her stare.
In contrast, he was in a good mood. “I just wanted you to buy some ingredients, but you ended up buying so much.”
Reminded of his frugality and low-key lifestyle, Cate quickly explained, “I was thinking that you and Fudge haven’t been able to eat any proper meals the past few days, so I’m buying more…”
Shaun lifted his hand and interrupted her with a frown, “I ate well. It was Fudge who didn’t eat well. Don’t drag me into it. I’m not picky about food.”
Cate was at a loss for words.
‘Are you sure?
‘Could you please stop staring at the ingredients and hide your hungry gaze?’
“Yeah, Fudge didn’t eat well.”
To save him from losing his dignity, Cate nodded and explained thoughtfully, “The things I’m buying are all necessities. You need to eat yogurt, fresh milk, and fruits every day so that your body receives enough nutrition. You might look healthy now, but you work hard every day and even drink for business at times. Therefore, you have to take care of your body and eat a balanced diet when you’re home.”
Shaun was momentarily stunned upon hearing that. His eyes revealed conflicting emotions.
Before this, hardly anyone was concerned about his diet. What other people mostly cared about was his ability to bring benefits to the Lyons family and whether he had fulfilled the Lyons family’s needs.
Cate then added, “I need these spices in my cooking. Also, I bought some noodles so that I can cook for you when you return late from work. We’re running out of toilet paper and rags as well.”
At that instant, Shaun was under the delusion that this woman was his wife, given that she took great care of everything in the house.
“By the way…” Pointing to the tissue paper box, Cate continued, “…this will be placed in your car. This way, you won’t always have to use the tissue paper provided at the gas station. This kind of soft tissue paper is quite economical.”
“Since when do I use the tissue paper provided at the gas station?”
“It’s in your car. It’s still there.” Afraid that he was concerned about saving his dignity, Cate feigned admiration. “It doesn’t matter. I simply like your capable yet frugal personality. This is the first time I met a man who’s living his best life. You’re a model of a perfect man. How charming.”
Overwhelmed with the sudden compliments, Shaun lowered his head. The way she looked up and stared at him with bright eyes reminded him of the first time they met.
Compared to her dull expression two days ago, her shameless look right now made him feel better.
“You shouldn’t be working as a designer. You should be a brown noser.”
Cate giggled. “I just want to be your brown noser.”
“Go and pay the bill now.” As Shaun turned around and walked forward, Cate did not catch sight of his curled lips.
An enthusiastic salesperson who was promoting some brand hurried to the check-out counter and stopped the two of them.
“Hello, sir and madam. Do you guys want to buy Durex? We’re having a promotion recently where you buy one and get one for free. It’s really economical.”
Cate blushed at the sight of the little box in the salesperson’s hand.
“No… No need. We don’t need it.” “Ohhh. Both of you are newlyweds, so are you guys planning to have a child?” the salesperson asked knowingly.
“Uh-huh.” Afraid that the salesperson would continue to pester her, Cate muttered something and subsequently dragged Shaun forward.
“Do we intend to have a child?” Shaun gave her a long, profound sideways glance.
“I was just lying to her. Are you actually planning to use it?” Cate asked casually.
“Stop dreaming. Even if I were to use it, I won’t use it with you.” Despite his cruel words, Cate’s flirtatious look crossed his mind.
He gnashed his teeth. Damn, why would such a silly thought cross his mind? Cate chuckled. Pooh, she made it seem as if she was eager to use it with him.
What a cold fish. She would not be trying so hard to please him if not for her plan to become Nathan’s aunt and take revenge on the scummy couple.
After they left the mall, Shaun drove back to Jadeite Bay.
Having made four dishes as well as a soup, Cate initially thought that she had prepared too much food. Once Shaun began eating though, she thought he seemed to have starved for two days.
The food was all finished in no time.
After lunch, Shaun and Fudge lay on the couch lazily while having a rest. “What are you planning to do next? Continue searching for a job?”
“Let’s talk about that later. I’m going to have my SIM card replaced this afternoon.”
“Don’t worry about it. If you can’t get a job, just stay home and cook for me. You won’t be strapped for cash.” Shaun put on his windbreaker once he finished speaking.
Cate was stunned for a moment. “Are you going to work now?” “Yeah, I still have a lot of work to deal with.” Once he left, Cate glanced at the time which showed 1:00 p.m.
She actually sympathized with him as being a boss was not easy. He did not even have a set lunch break. He had probably taken time out of his busy schedule to pick her up earlier.
After Cate had her SIM card replaced that afternoon, her phone displayed over ten missed calls.
Those calls were made by Mireya, Jeffrey, Sally, and many other people.
Could it be that they were concerned about her after finding out what had happened the other day?
She could not help but feel a sense of anticipation deep down. Regardless of the reason, she still called Sally back.
“Mom…”
“You’re finally calling me back.” Sally’s furious voice sounded. “How long more do you intend on staying outside? Come home right now.”
