Irritated, he picked up a cigarette but quickly put it down when he considered that there was a woman behind him.
After waiting for five minutes, the woman still showed no signs of waking up. Hence, he got out of the car, went to the back seat, and carried Cate out.
He did not notice it when he picked her up, but now, he realized that she was very light. Her small and slightly swollen lips pouted slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with being moved. She looked adorable.
Subconsciously, she found a comfortable position on his chest and rubbed her little face on it.
At that moment, Shaun suddenly felt his heart soften like a sponge.
It was full and puffy as if it was about to overflow.
He carried her upstairs and found the key from her bag to open the door. Once he went in, he gently placed her on the large bed in the bedroom.
The woman immediately changed her position on the bed. She hugged the pillow and kicked off her shoes, revealing her snowy feet and lovely toes. The wine-red nail polish on her toes was bewitching.
Shaun almost had an urge to kiss the back of her feet.
However, the moment the thought flashed by, he was shocked.
Damn it. What was he thinking? He was acting like a two-timing scumbag.
He then gently covered her with the blanket before he closed the door behind him and left.
The moment the door closed, Cate, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. There was a cold, mocking look in her eyes.
‘Shaun Lyons, I’ll drag you to the abyss little by little.
‘I’ll let you taste the pain I once had.’
When Shaun left, he turned on his phone and saw several missed calls.
He opened WhatsApp. Half an hour ago, he had sent a message to Sarah. [I have an urgent business trip in the evening and won’t be back. Sleep early.]
He held his head in pain and called Chester. “Are you asleep yet? Come out for a drink.”
“I’m not free. I worked an extra night shift yesterday, and I’m very tired.” Chester refused.
“Then, I’ll come over to your place,” Shaun said unhappily.
“…”
When he arrived at Chester’s villa, Chester was still asleep and snoring.
Shaun pulled him up from the bed. “Get up and drink.”
The tousled hair did not affect how handsome Chester looked. He gritted his teeth and said, “What’s up with you this time? It’s enough that you didn’t go back last night, but you’re here tonight as well. Aren’t you afraid of Sarah having foolish ideas… Wait, what’s that smell on you?”
Chester was speechless. “It’s a woman’s smell. Is it Cate?”
“How do you know it’s her’s?” Shaun’s eyes narrowed.
“I smelled it when she opened the door this morning. It smelled quite good, so I remembered it.” Shaun shot him a warning with his cold eyes the moment Chester said that.
“Forget it.”
Chester did not know what to say. “Just what are you planning? I just talked to you about this in the morning. Why did you…”
“Get dressed.” Shaun threw the clothes at him and went out.
Chester climbed up in pain. However, as soon as he went out, he saw Shaun opening the bottle of Lafite he had kept for ten years. “Shaun Lyons, I could never bring myself to drink that. Put it down.”
What replied to him was the ‘pop’ of the bottle opening.
Chester’s heart was about to break. “Dude, why didn’t you go to Rodney instead?”
“If I tell Rodney that I slept with Cate two nights in a row, he’ll definitely fight with me.” Shaun poured him a glass of wine. “What’s the point? Wine is dead, but people are alive.”
“…”
Chester rubbed his forehead and quickly downed two mouthfuls of the wine, lest Shaun finished it all. “So, what were you thinking? There are two women.”
“I don’t know.” Shaun shook his head. “I always thought I loved Sarah, but when I saw Cate tonight, I… didn’t want to go back. I wanted to sleep there. Do you know that feeling?”
Chester glanced at him. “That’s not strange. You did have feelings for Cate in the past.”
“When did I have feelings for her?” Shaun was speechless.
“Your memories from three years ago are getting worse by the day. You’ve probably forgotten a lot of things.” Chester could not help but recall some things from the past.
As a bystander, he admitted that Shaun loved Sarah the most, but when Sarah was not around, Cate held a very important place in Shaun’s heart. However, he found that Shaun had forgotten some things.
Shaun was stunned. “What did I forget?”
Chester glanced at him. “Do you remember going to KFC with Cate?”
“I went to KFC?” Shaun looked like he heard a joke. “Impossible.”
Chester continued, “In the past, when Sarah wasn’t around, Cate brought you there when your illness acted up.”
Shaun was surprised.
Did that really happen?
Chester added, “Another time, you hurt Cate and sent her to the hospital in the middle of the night.”
“…”
Shaun’s expression darkened in shock. He had done such a heartless thing before?
If someone else said it, he would definitely not believe it, but Chester was like a brother who had gone through thick and thin with him. Most of the words he said should be true.
“Chester, am I a scumbag? How did I become like this?” Shaun held his head in his hands. His current self gave him an unfamiliar feeling.
Chester looked up and told him, “Although I’ve dated many girls in the past, and outsiders know me as a playboy, I’ve always ended a relationship before starting another.”
“Give me some ideas.” Shaun had always been decisive, so he was rarely this conflicted.
Chester reminded, “Don’t make things hard for me. I think of Sarah as a younger sister and wish for her happiness. But to be honest, if you refuse to touch her, that’s troublesome too because you can’t keep both of them by your side. Besides, Sarah has been with you for so long, and you’ve avoided her until now. It’s troublesome no matter what.”
Shaun frowned. In the end, he picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Chester’s again.
Poor Chester accompanied him to drink all night.
Shaun slept until noon the next day, and he woke up dizzy.
After getting Hadley to send his clothes over, he took a shower before heading to the company. He saw a hospital along the way and thought of something. Hence, he had Hadley stop so he could get down and buy a box of medicine himself.
When he arrived at the company, he saw Sarah waiting for him in the office for a while. There was also a delicate insulated lunch box on the table.
“Shaun, I’ve been waiting for you for an hour. I thought you weren’t coming back.” Sarah immediately greeted him with a smile. Her face was still red and swollen after one night, but she covered it by keeping her hair down.
Shaun felt bad. He wanted to teach Cate a lesson last night, but he ended up sleeping with her instead. He was such a scumbag. “Sarah, you didn’t have to do this. You should rest at home since you’re injured.”
“But you didn’t come home last night. I missed you so much.” Sarah gave him an amorous look and leaned on his chest.
Shaun looked down at her face, and out of the blue, he remembered the feeling of Cate leaning on his chest last night. His heart was full then, unlike now, where he felt nothing but guilt.
“I’m sorry…”
He looked down with mixed feelings.
“Enough with the apologies. Have you eaten? I made these. Do you want to try it?” Sarah handed him the utensils.
Shaun had not eaten, but after taking two bites, he could not bring himself to eat anymore.
