The night passed.
The morning sun shone through the windows.
Cate opened her eyes due to the glaring sunlight. She turned her head and saw Shaun who was fast asleep. She kicked him out of anger.
F*ck him!
Shaun, who was sleeping soundly, frowned. However, he did not open his eyes.
Cate struggled to get up. She walked into the bathroom.
She bathed herself with hot water and only came out after half an hour.
When she opened the bathroom door, she saw the guy sitting on the bed after waking up.
Their eyes met. Shaun immediately saw the hickeys on her neck and collarbone. He lowered his gaze and saw the messy bed. His expression went dark.
He could still vaguely remember what had happened last night.
He had been set up by Sarah. She was his girlfriend and fiancée. Although she had made a mistake, he still loved her and was willing to forgive her. It was just that he would feel nauseous whenever he touched Sarah.
In the end, he drove out and came to look for Cate without being able to control himself.
Damn it, why did it turn out this way?
Not only had he done Sarah wrong, but he even got involved with Cate.
Cate observed his face that appeared to be in pain for a moment and saw him gritting his teeth the next moment. She sneered and threw the towel she was holding in her hands at him.
“Shaun, so this is the love you have for Sarah? I can really feel it.”
Cate’s sarcasm infuriated Shaun. “Do you think I wanted to do it? I was set up.”
“Ha.”
Cate scoffed. He was once again being a jerk.
The hidden meaning in his words was, ‘Do you think I wanted to touch you? I wouldn’t have touched you if I hadn’t been set up. That’s why I don’t have to take any responsibility, and you shouldn’t blame me either.’
“Why are you laughing? You must be delighted.” Shaun recalled how much he had yearned for her last night. He was embarrassed.
“Delighted?” Cate rolled up her sleeves speechlessly. She revealed the rings of bruises on her arms caused by someone gripping her with too much strength. “Please, look at this. I have bruises all over my body. Brother, do you not know that you didn’t even treat me like a human last night? I can sue you for this!”
Looking at those bruises, Shaun went tight-lipped. Traces of apology welled up in him.
“What grudge did I have with you in my past life? Why didn’t you go look for Sarah?” Cate held back from showing the hatred in her eyes. Did he not know that she would feel disgusted because she was a clean freak?
“…”
Shaun kept silent. His short black hair rested messily on his forehead, but that did not affect his refined looks. Rather, it accentuated his thin lips and long lashes.
“You can’t possibly… have no interest toward Sarah now?”
Cate walked toward him step by step. The corners of her mouth were lifted into a grin. After last night, she had an additional seductive charm to her.
The unforgettable sweetness from last night flashed across Shaun’s mind. He could not forget that feeling even at this moment.
“Did I get it right?” Seeing that he was keeping silent, Cate’s smile widened.
“You think too much.” Shaun shot her an icy glare. His words were mean, as if they were laced with poison. “I was just afraid that I would lose my mind last night and do something to hurt Sarah. She should be treated well and cared for. As for you, it serves you right no matter how much you get hurt.”
“Why does it serve me right?”
Cate’s smile gradually froze.
This was indeed the Shaun she knew. He always had a way to deepen her hatred for him.
Just look at that. Were those words a human would say? Was she not afraid of pain while Sarah was? Did she not deserve to be seen as a human by him?
“You’re my nominal wife. Since you refuse to let go of your position, then it’s only appropriate that you fulfill your duties as a wife.”
After Shaun said that as if it was a matter of course, he felt relieved. He had nothing to feel guilty about toward her.
“Do you dare to say these words to Sarah?” Cate asked sarcastically.
Shaun’s expression changed. He glared at her. “Cate, if you dare expose anything that happened last night, I’ll make you pay for it.”
“Shaun, in the story of ‘The Farmer and the Snake’, you’re that poisonous snake.”
Cate lamented that she had been too kind last night. She should have chased him out and let him suffer and die.
Shaun also felt that he was despicable, but he had no choice. “As long as you don’t say anything, Sarah won’t know.”
“I don’t believe you. Nothing can stay a secret forever. When Sarah hears about this, I’ll be the one who’s at fault again. It’ll just be like last time when you bought me underwear. I never said a word, but didn’t you believe her in the end?”
Cate sneered and walked toward the door.
Shaun was taken aback. He frowned and said, “Are you still trying to deny that incident? If you hadn’t said anything, how did Sarah find out? Besides, you’re saying that Sarah worked together with that manager to lie to me?”
“If I say yes, will you believe me? Between Sarah and me, you’ll never take my side.”
She said that without turning back.
Shaun looked at Cate’s back with complicated feelings.
Sarah lied to him?
He had never thought of it before. It surely had to be Cate’s scheme.
He had sweated profusely last night, so he was feeling uncomfortable all over now. He wanted to take a bath after he went into the bathroom but he did not have a towel. He gave it some thought and simply took Cate’s towel.
He was a clean freak. He could not even bear using Sarah’s towel to wipe his face. However, when he used Cate’s towel, he did not feel repulsed at all. Her towel had a pleasant smell as well, just like her body.
When he came out of the bathroom, Cate was sitting in the dining area, having pasta. There even was a golden fried egg on the pasta. It looked delicious at first sight.
Shaun, who was exhausted from last night, immediately felt hungry. “Where’s mine?”
He directly sat on the chair beside her and looked like he was waiting for someone to serve him breakfast.
Cate glanced at him lazily. “Yours? It’s in your own home.”
“…”
“There’s no maid to serve you breakfast even if you wait here.”
The expectation on Shaun’s face could be seen diminishing rapidly, replaced with anger. “Cate, I’m at your place now. I don’t care. I’m hungry, so you have to cook pasta for me right now.”
“Why do I have to cook for you? Would you be thankful to me if I did? I don’t even see you thanking me for saving you last night.”
The pent-up anger inside of Cate finally exploded. “You eat and drink my stuff every single time you come here. Not only do you not pay for any of it, you even land me into trouble every once in a while. Get lost!”
“You dare tell me to get lost?” A dark aura emanated from Shaun.
“What else? Do you want me to tell you to walk out of here? The problem is, you don’t know how to walk.”
“…”
Did she mean that he did not know how to walk but he knew how to scram?
Shaun’s face was filled with anger. Why had he not previously noticed that she had a smart mouth?
“Cate, do you have a death wish?”
