She did not know either. Was Shaun fed up with her for not talking to him lately, so he wanted to get back together with Sarah?
She really did not expect Shaun to be so cruel.
“Don’t worry. We’ll tell him off. You should take care of the babies.” This was a rare moment when Old Master Lyons was consoling someone so gently.
Cate closed her eyes and did not say a word.
When the room became silent again, Aunty Yasmine brought a bowl of stew over and fed her. “Young Madam, you must have some stew. Even if you’re not hungry, the babies in your belly need to eat too.”
“Aunty Yasmine, I can’t let Sarah be their stepmother. I’d feel uneasy,” Cate muttered.
“Don’t cry, Young Madam. To be honest, I think Eldest Young Master Lyons still has you in his heart. Just this evening before Sarah came, he was looking everywhere for you. His words differ from his feelings, but I can see that he wants to make up with you. Not only that, he has always been at home at night lately. Last night, he was even loitering at your door.”
Aunty Yasmine said hesitantly, “Was it because you’ve ignored him for too long so now he’s trying to provoke you?”
“He wouldn’t use such a cruel method to provoke me unless his heart has really changed.” Cate smiled bitterly and shook her head. “No, his heart has never changed. He has been in love with Sarah all along.”
“It’s not like that. Eldest Young Master Lyons truly loves you.” Aunty Yasmine found it hard to explain it in words. “Why did Eldest Young Master Lyons suddenly become this way? It’s very weird.”
Cate was stunned for a moment. “Aunty Yasmine, are you sure that Shaun was looking for me before Sarah arrived?”
“I’m sure. He even said you were the one who suggested that Dr. Neeson came to the manor for his treatment, but you disappeared when it was time. He was blaming you for not accompanying him.”
Cate was astonished.
Indeed, it seemed that Shaun had turned heartless all of a sudden.
She recalled that after Sarah met Jennifer last time, Jennifer passed away not long after.
Could it be that Sarah had messed with something again?
Cate’s brows were knitted tightly in a frown.
She was slightly uncertain as well.
She lay on the bed for one whole night, but she could not sleep at all.
The next day, her body felt better. She woke up and asked around about Shaun’s whereabouts. When she found out that he had not returned for the whole night, her heart went cold.
He had left with Sarah yesterday. Did they spend the night together? Did something happen?
A nauseous feeling welled up in her.
She threw up heavily.
“Young Madam, have some water.” Aunty Yasmine patted her back, full of worries.
“I’m okay. Prepare the car. I’m going to his company,” Cate said weakly.
Aunty Yasmine was anxious. “But you’re in this state…”
“I want to get some things straight,” Cate said persistently.
“Arrange the car, then,” Elle said, “We cannot let Eldest Young Master Lyons continue being like this.”
Aunty Yasmine sighed. She arranged a car to send Cate to Lyons Corporation.
When Cate arrived, the receptionist recognized her immediately. A trace of sympathy flashed across her eyes. “Young Madam, the president… He’s not free right now.”
Cate noticed the receptionist’s gaze. She said insistently, “I’m still going up even if he’s busy.”
She headed straight upstairs.
When she pushed the office door open, Shaun’s upset voice sounded from inside. “Who allowed you to come in without knocking—”
Before he finished his sentence, he stopped abruptly when he saw Cate.
Cate saw what was happening in the office. Sarah was sitting on Shaun’s lap. That scene was so disgusting that she wanted to throw up again even though she just did in the morning.
“Young Madam…” Sarah stood away from Shaun’s lap frantically. “I’m sorry…”
“Stop pretending, Sarah. Don’t you feel even an ounce of shame for seducing a married man?” Cate could not hold it in anymore. She rushed over and raised her hand to slap Sarah across her face.
However, Shaun grabbed her wrist halfway.
He stared at her coldly. “Cate, who do you think you are? How dare you hit Sarah? Get lost.”
He flung her arm away hard. If Elle had not held on to Cate, she would have fallen to the ground.
“Eldest Young Master Lyons, you can’t do this. Young Madam is pregnant,” Elle reminded him.
“She was the one who didn’t stay at the manor and came out,” Shaun said in annoyance.
Cate showed a sorrowful smile. “Do you think I wanted to? My husband is accompanying another woman and hugging her. How could I sleep? Were you with her last night as well?”
Shaun averted his gaze and did not answer her. However, him remaining silent meant that he was tacitly agreeing.
At that instant, Cate was enveloped by despair and sadness. Her face was as white as a sheet.
Shaun’s thin lips moved. For some reason, he felt an ache in his heart.
At that moment, Sarah suddenly said, “I’m sorry, Cate. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday…”
“So you had someone else’s husband spend the night with you just because you weren’t feeling well? Ha, Sarah Langley Neeson, you’re obviously shameless. Can you stop acting innocent already?”
Cate could not bear listening to another word. She took a deep breath, afraid that she might lose control. “Can you allow me to talk to my husband in private? If you’re brazen enough to remain here, then I can only call the reporters over. We can have a chat together.”
Anger flashed across Shaun’s eyes. “This is my private matter. What will they think of Sarah if you call the reporters here?”
Cate laughed sarcastically.
His only concern was Sarah’s image. What about her? Could she be simply trampled on by him as he liked?
“Why are you laughing?” Shaun felt uncomfortable and irritated by her smile.
“Shaunic, stop fighting. I should leave.” Sarah picked up her bag beside her. She said, “The internet is advanced nowadays. If the reporters find out about this, people will surely criticize you with harsh words.”
“Sarah…” Shaun was slightly swayed. As expected, it was Sarah who was most concerned about him. “I’ll let the driver send you back.”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for you.” After saying that affectionately, Sarah turned around and shot an icy glance at Cate when her back was facing Shaun. She left smugly.
Cate clenched her fists. She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and strangle Sarah to death.
“Cate, if you dare hurt Sarah, I’ll never let you off the hook.” Shaun saw her gaze and warned her, frowning.
Cate moved her eyes away and looked at that handsome and refined but heartless face. He was clearly still the man she loved, but his gaze was so unfamiliar that it made her scared.
She was more willing to believe that Shaun had gotten hypnotized by Sarah rather than him having a change of heart and becoming cruel.
“Shaun, why did you change all of a sudden?”
She stared straight into the man’s eyes. Her eyes were red and swollen. “You clearly said that you only have me in your heart right now and that you’ve never thought of getting back together with Sarah. Were you lying to me all along?”
Shaun was taken aback. Had he said those words before?
It was impossible.
Shaun frowned. “Cate, the one I love has been Sarah all along. It has never changed.”
Cate’s body shook.
He just used one short sentence to deny their whole past. What did she mean to him?
“So everything you said to me at the seaside villa was a lie? You said you’d only love me in this lifetime.” Cate was about to break down and cry. “How can you do this to me? You just changed all of a sudden. Don’t you think that you’re being very weird?”
“Don’t say another word. I know my own heart.”
