It was also a shrimp dish, but the shrimp that Cate made was sweeter and more fragrant.
“Sarah, I’m sorry.” Shaun took two bites and put down the fork.
Sarah blinked and smiled softly. “Shaun, what’s up with you? You keep apologizing to me.”
“…”
Shaun pursed his thin lips. The hands on his legs gradually clenched until his veins bulged, and then, he slowly loosened his grip. “It’s nothing.”
He did not notice that out of his sight, Sarah’s fingernails were almost digging into her flesh.
The look in Shaun’s eyes just now gave her a sense of fear.
It was then she recalled what Cate said. She had used hypnosis to affect Shaun’s feelings and tamper with his memories, but Cate had reminded her that people’s emotions could change. If Shaun had a change of heart, it would all be over.
No, she would not let Cate succeed.
Now, the best way was to sleep with Shaun as soon as possible and get pregnant with his child.
She could not just sit around and wait like this.
…
In the evening.
Cate walked out of the elevator with the food she bought from the supermarket and immediately caught the smell of smoke. After that, she saw a tall and handsome figure at her door. The man was dressed in a black tailored suit and looked a little like a bodyguard or a property agent.
The color was the same, but on him, it looked elegant and noble. It was as if he was standing on a dazzling red carpet, and no one could tear their eyes away from him.
From the smoke, he lifted his clear and deep eyes.
Cate froze when her eyes met his.
At that moment, the little boy in the neighbor’s house opened the door to take out the trash. He lifted his head and winked at Cate with a smile. “Lady, you’re finally back. Your boyfriend has been waiting for you here for an hour. I saw him when I came back from school.”
“He’s not my boyfriend,” Cate said in embarrassment.
“No need to be embarrassed. I saw you guys smooch last time.” The boy giggled and quickly shut the door after he finished speaking.
Through the door, Cate heard the mother reprimanding her son. “You little brat. I told you to take out the trash. What nonsense are you talking about?”
“I wasn’t talking nonsense. When I was studying yesterday morning, I went downstairs with that man in the elevator. The other aunties and you always say that people who have relationships without marriage as a prerequisite are rascals.”
“…”
Shaun’s face was grim.
Cate’s cheeks were also a little warm as she took out the key and opened the door. “What are you doing here?”
Shaun blurted out, “Am I not welcomed?”
At that, he became annoyed at himself. That was not what he wanted to say.
Cate glanced at him and sneered. “Every time you come here, you want me to sleep with you. Sorry, but I’m very tired, and I don’t want to accompany you.”
“I’m not here for that today.”
Shaun was angered by her words again. “That’s enough. Don’t make me sound like I’m a rascal.”
“But you are.” Cate glared at him with an exasperated look in her eyes, and her cheeks puffed out slightly. She was clearly angry, but she looked a little cute too.
Shaun’s heart tingled again, and he lowered his voice. “You know that somebody set me up that day. As for yesterday… Yesterday was because you pissed me off.”
Cate replied with a hum. “So that’s how you act when I piss you off. Do you act the same way as well when other women piss you off?”
“Do you think I’m a scumbag?” Shaun sounded slightly annoyed.
Cate said to herself, ‘Aren’t you?’
Despite that, her lips slightly curled up, and her beautiful eyes revealed a strange luster and expectation as if there were other reasons. Even her tone became a little flirty. “Then, why do you only treat me like that?”
Shaun caught the look in her eyes, and his heart stuttered. He suddenly had the urge to embrace her again.
However, Sarah’s gentle appearance suddenly flashed across his mind. He took out two boxes of medicine from his pocket and handed them over. “One box is for the injuries, and the other is the contraceptives. Remember to eat it.”
Cate looked up. Her beautiful eyes quivered before tears welled up in anger. “Shaun Lyons, what is the meaning of this? Are you so scared that I’ll get pregnant and affect your relationship with Sarah? In that case, why did you touch me?”
“I won’t touch you anymore. Take the medicine. Yesterday was an accident.” Shaun hardened his heart and said.
“Shaun Lyons, you’re not a man. Get out of my sight.” Cate pushed him out as tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes.
When Shaun saw her crying, he felt bad. Ever since she came back, she had been sharp and cold except in bed, but he had never seen her cry. His mouth moved subconsciously and said, “Cate, I don’t hate you as much anymore.”
Cate chuckled and revealed a sad, mocking expression. “What does that mean? Should I be grateful?”
“…No, but take the medicine quickly. I’ll leave after you eat it.”
Shaun knew that he was acting like a scumbag, but Sarah had waited for him for more than ten years. He could not let her down again.
“Fine, I’ll eat it. I’ll eat it now.” Cate turned around agitatedly. She popped open the pill and stuffed it into her mouth, and threw the rest at his face. She shouted, “Can you get lost now?”
She pushed him out and slammed the door shut.
Shaun felt bad, and he stood at the door for a long time before he left in disappointment.
Unbeknownst to him, Cate had already dried her tears and prepared dinner not long after he left.
After all, it took a lot of effort to act and cry for a scumbag.
Once she had her meal, Mireya called her all the way from the United States. “How’s the plan going?”
“Okay, I guess. I’m taking it one step at a time, but I feel like I’ve been pushing too hard recently. Sarah should be making her move soon, and Damien and Melanie have been way too quiet recently.”
Cate poured herself a cup of yogurt, added some fruit, and stirred it with the spoon.
“I’m still uncomfortable with the idea of you being alone there.” Mireya lamented.
“Logan is here too.”
“That’s true. There are also Wesley, Joseph, and Liam. You have so many knights.” Mireya chuckled and suddenly whispered, “Osher Corporation has sent me an employment letter. They offered me 30 million dollars to develop an anti-aging product for them.”
Cate smiled playfully. “That’s interesting. Say, if they found out that the ‘world’s most valuable dark horse cosmetic chemist’ was the one who they banned and discredited in the past, their expressions would be interesting.”
“I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time,” Mireya said in a good mood.
“Are you ready to come back?”
“No, but I’ve agreed to do a talk for Australia’s SE Group and will only be back at the end of the month. Do you want me to bring your two babies with me? They miss you.”
“Sure. I miss them too, but I can’t take them with me. Just say that they’re your brother’s children.”
“Okay.”
At 8:00 p.m., Shaun had returned to the villa, but Sarah was not back yet.
Hence, he called her, and she said that she was shopping with friends.
At 11:00 p.m., while he was working in his study, he suddenly had a call from Rodney.
“Shaun, come quickly. Sarah got drunk. Come and pick her up.”
“Isn’t she shopping with friends?” Shaun frowned.
Rodney snapped at him. “Shopping my *ss. She was afraid that you’d be in a bad mood, so she went drinking with Joanne and the others. I don’t know how much she drank, but Joanne called me, so I’m calling you.”
