“Sir, how many would you like?”
Shaun thought about it for a few seconds. “30.”
That should be enough supply for a whole year. “Get me 30 bras too.”
Finally, he made the payment and left the store carrying several shopping bags.
Coincidentally, Joanne Harlow, the young lady of the Harlow family, was shopping nearby and took a photo of him to send to Sarah through WhatsApp. “Look at how many things Shaun has bought for you from the lingerie store. I’m so jealous of you.”
…
At the same time.
Sarah was having a great time with Lucifer in her personal apartment.
20 minutes later, she got up to check her phone. The corners of her lips twitched into a smile upon reading Joanne’s text.
Shaun had never done anything like that. It seemed like he was trying to comfort her for being humiliated by Cate today.
“What are you looking at? Come join me for a bit longer,” Lucifer said before pulling her into his arms again.
“No, my friend sent me a text saying Shaun’s heading home.” She refused in a spoiled voice. “He’s going to be suspicious if I always get home late. I can’t get you the money if he leaves me.”
“Sure. But does he know you’re so wild in bed?” He pinched her chin playfully. “Doesn’t he normally pleasure you?”
“You’re right, actually. He can’t compare to you,” she praised the man while smiling.
“You little foxy woman. That’s why I still like sleeping with you after all these years.” Lucifer laughed aloud. The sight of his big belly almost made her sick but she had no choice but to laugh along.
Upon leaving the apartment, the expression on her beautiful face finally fell. Although Lucifer managed to satisfy her the way Shaun failed to, that man was a ticking time bomb. She needed to get her hands on all the photos and get rid of him before she could relax.
…
Hackett Institute.
Shaun rang the doorbell. Cate was evidently stunned to see the number of shopping bags he was carrying. How much did he buy?
“30 sets in total.” He placed them on the couch. His stomach began to grumble upon smelling the delicious food coming from the kitchen. “Is my dinner ready?”
His eyes sparkled like a puppy waiting to be fed.
Speechless, she gestured to the bowl of food on the table. “There.”
He expectantly walked over only to find a bowl of pasta. The presentation was great and she had even sprinkled some herbs on top. However, he touched the bowl and found out it was already cold.
“Is this all? Cold pasta?” He was upset. He had gone to buy her underwear out of kindness and this was what he got in return.
The man who was used to being spoiled by everyone was displeased. She could heat it up, at the very least.
“It’s your fault for taking so long,” she replied lazily.
“I went out to buy things for you.”
“Did I force you to tear all of mine apart?” she retorted. “It’s up to you if you want to eat it. There’s a microwave in the kitchen if you want to use it.”
He glared at her but she was not bothered. She grabbed the shopping bags and headed into the bathroom.
Cate was infuriated at this man. Did he not know that she had to wash and dry new underwear first before putting it on? She would not have to waste her effort doing this if not for him.
Shaun’s eyes were stinging a little from all the glaring. Finally, he went to heat up the food in the microwave before eating. It was only a simple bowl of pasta but it tasted so much better than the steak Sarah had prepared last night.
Shaun devoured the pasta in one go yet he was still feeling hungry.
He walked to the bathroom only to find Cate washing her clothes in the sink. On second thought, he decided to leave.
The man drove past a busy street and saw a restaurant specializing in pasta. He went in and ordered from the menu yet he spat out the food after one bite. “The pasta you make tastes horrible,” he shouted angrily.
“Are you here to pick a fight?” The owner of the store flew off the handle. “I’ve been running my restaurant for more than a decade and everyone here loves my pasta. You’re the first to complain.”
“That’s right. The pasta here is the best in the whole neighborhood.” One of the guests could not help saying.
“…”
Shaun did not know what to say.
What had Cate done to his appetite?
What did it matter if this owner had been running the restaurant for more than a decade? The fact remained that the food Cate made tasted better.
…
Seaside villa.
Sarah greeted him while wearing sexy lingerie. She appeared surprised to see Shaun coming home empty-handed. “Why are you home this late?”
“I was working overtime,” he instinctively blurted out upon remembering everything that had happened at Cate’s place earlier.
“I see.” Sarah felt her heart sinking. “Did Cate threaten you in the meeting this morning?”
“Yup.”
Shaun was suddenly reminded of something. He had gone to look for Cate just now to argue about the incident this morning yet he forgot about everything after entering her house.
A feeling of guilt washed over him. “Sarah, sorry, I—”
“Stop it. I know you did it for my own god.” She threw herself into his arms. “I’m just worried that Cate will steal you away from me. When today’s meeting ended, she told me that she’ll ruin everything I care about.”
“Ruin everything?” His eyes revealed indifference. “Who does she think she is?”
If he still felt slightly guilty for that woman before, then the feeling was all gone by now.
A woman like her did not deserve his kindness.
No wonder she was determined about not getting a divorce. It was because she did not intend to do so at all.
Sarah let out a sigh. “I advised her to let go of everything but she wouldn’t listen. What’s the point of falling out with everyone? She needs to know that many companies are only collaborating with Hudson Corporation out of respect for you.”
An idea popped into his mind as he patted her on the head. “You’re right. It would be a disaster to Hudson Corporation if the companies refuse to work with her. It’s up to her to decide if she wants to sign the divorce papers to save the corporation.”
“Shaunic, are you thinking of…” Sarah bit her lip. “This doesn’t feel right.”
“Silly, everyone knows that we’re getting married this year. What will happen to you if I don’t divorce her?” He embraced her tenderly.
The woman smiled slyly in his arms.
After heading upstairs, she asked casually while getting a fresh set of clothes from the closet. “Shaunic, when will you have time to go shopping with me? I want to replace my old lingerie.”
“Didn’t I give you a credit card before? Just use it all you want.” He headed straight into the bathroom.
Sarah felt uneasy all of a sudden.
Joanne would not have been wrong.
Who else was he buying lingerie for if not for herself?
Cate? Was it another woman?
The following dawn.
Sarah secretly grabbed Shaun’s car key and sneaked into the garage to check the dashcam footage.
Within seconds, she found out he had driven to somewhere called Hackett Institute twice last night.
That same morning, she drove to the same place and grimaced upon seeing Cate driving out of there.
