Filed to story: Revenge Marriage Sweet Love Novel Read Free Online

Cate ate the much anticipated spicy crabs with Mireya until ten at night. Then, she headed home while feeling scared.

Afraid that she would disturb the man inside the house, she did not dare to switch on the lights.

“You came back early.”

Shaun’s tall and stalwart figure suddenly appeared at the door of the bedroom, and there was a definite edge in his voice.

Cate got a shock and felt very guilty.

She wondered if he had spent a long time waiting for her to return home in order to ask about the one million dollars.

“When it comes to shopping, women tend to forget the time.”

Shaun switched on the lights in the living room, then glanced at Cate for two seconds. He walked toward her and extended his hand.

“What do you want?”

Holding her breath, Cate did not move at all. His body cast a shadow on her under the light, and the situation somehow seemed dull. However, after his burning index finger touched her lips, the atmosphere became romantic instead.

Well, what was the hint?

Shaun’s gaze flashed with sarcasm all of a sudden. He then stretched out his index finger to her.

Cate gazed at the tip of his finger in a daze. His fingernail looked tidy and nice, but what was he trying to do?

She blinked. Puzzled, she gently bit his finger using her teeth.

Shaun’s body froze. He felt as though a strange electric sensation was traveling throughout his body at that instant. He stared at her with dark eyes which conveyed a look of disbelief. “What are you doing?”

‘Isn’t this what you want?” Cate let go of his finger and spoke in an innocent tone, “You touched my lips and stretched out your finger after that…”

Shaun was speechless.

It struck him that he had failed to fathom how her mind worked.

“Cate, you have such a dirty mind.” He completely lost to her. “I just wanted to show you the grease on my finger because you hadn’t wiped your mouth properly after supper.”

Cate was so embarrassed that her ears turned red. How she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.

Nevertheless, what was done was done. She had no choice but to say reluctantly, “You can’t blame me for this. You have such a nice finger. I couldn’t contain my emotions when I saw you.”

Shaun withdrew his burning finger. He laughed when she uttered such shameless words with a face as red as a beet. “What are you holding?”

Cate shuddered, then whispered, “Your suit. Sorry, I accidentally bought you suits worth one million dollars.”

Shaun frowned as he had never worn a cheap suit like this.

Cate’s heart did a flip. Damn, sure enough, he was unhappy. “If you find this too—” “Why are these two the same?” Shaun interrupted her words.

“Huh?”

She was stunned. “Because… They’re limited edition. There are only two suits of this kind in the entire country. I didn’t want to see anyone wearing the same suit as you because it’ll be a humiliation.

“In my eyes, you’re one of a kind, charming, and handsome. I think this color suits you best. I always see you wearing suits like these and I’m not even tired of it yet. Please forgive me for being a little selfish.”

Once she finished speaking, she observed his expression secretly. She noticed that he was staring at her and curling his lips.

“Great job. Your brown-nosing skills have improved.” Shaun stretched out his hand and pinched her cheeks lightly. “When you quit being a designer in the future, you can be my secretary. Having you brown-nosing me every day will probably lift my spirits.”

“Are you not mad?” Cate asked while widening her eyes.

“Why would I be mad?”

“I’m worried that you’d find it costly because… I noticed that the clothes you usually wear don’t seem costly. Hehe. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with it. I understand that you’re being frugal and low-profile, and that’s what I like about you.”

She forced a smile in embarrassment for fear that it would hurt his pride as a man.

Shaun was stunned. It then dawned on him that the clothes he normally wore were too cheap for Cate.

His gaze became strange at that moment. “Is this how superficial the elites usually are?”

Little did they know a thing called ‘customized brand’.

In fact, all his clothes were unique.

Cate was dazed.

‘It’s okay. You’ll understand it later.” Shaun touched her head sympathetically, then entered the room.

Complete bewilderment swept over Cate. Anyway, why did he pinch her cheeks and touch her head? With this kind of behavior, they looked like a couple which made the situation appear embarrassing.

The next day, Shaun wore the brown single-breasted suit she bought for him. When he walked out of the room, Cate gazed at him and fell into a trance for a moment.

Although she had seen him wearing all kinds of suits, a bizarre feeling filled her mind only because that was the suit she had bought for him. She felt a mixture of sweetness and confusion.

It felt as if he was her actual husband at that instant.

Shaun shot a glance at her. Upon realizing that she was looking at him in a daze, he was somehow in a cheerful mood.

Back then, he had always thought that this sort of non-customized clothing brand would not be as comfortable as his customized brand. Nevertheless, he reluctantly wore the suit since she liked it.

When he left the house, something crossed his mind. “Didn’t you buy any clothes for yourself last night?”

“No, I was busy buying clothes for you.” The sweet look of buying clothes for her lover spread across her face.

“I think you were busy having supper.” Shaun scoffed, exposing her frankly.

“Ah, why do you think of me this way?” To hide her embarrassment, Cate said in a voice that was heavy with flirtatiousness.

Shaun felt that his throat was itchy. He undid two buttons at the neckline of his shirt and said, “If you have the time, go and get yourself some clothes using my card. The clothes will be payment for your cooking and cleaning as a sitter.”

He headed to his office once he finished speaking.

Just as Hadley entered the law firm, he was stunned to see Shaun’s suit. He quickly said, “Young Master Lyons, your suit…” “Cate bought it on the streets yesterday.” Shaun took a document and flipped it.

Chase, who had just arrived at the door, heard those words. “Wow, you’d actually wear a suit sold on the streets?”

With a grim expression, Shaun threw a cold glance at him. “As the boss of a law firm, you always come and hang out here.

You’re too idle, huh?”

“I’m not idle. I just feel terrible not seeing you even for a day.” Chase gazed at Shaun’s suit cheekily. “It’s DG’s limited edition. 1 thought you only wear customized clothes. Is it because Cate bought you this…” Shaun flung a document at his face, and the phrase ‘get lost’ subsequently came out of his thin lips.

“Fine, fine. Don’t be mad. I’m here to tell you something. My grandpa will be celebrating his 80th birthday tomorrow night. Do me the honor of attending the celebration.”

Chase took an invitation card and placed it on the table.

Shaun’s brows furrowed. Quite a number of people were celebrating their 80th birthday in Melbourne recently.

“By the way, you’d better bring your partner,” Chase reminded. “As you know, my sister has been interested in you for years.

Also, my grandpa has always wanted to set my sister up with you.”

Shaun rubbed his forehead, wondering who he should bring as his partner.

Cate?

In the next two days, Cate contemplated how to progress things with Shaun to a point of no return while she planned the villa’s design.

What about preparing a candlelight dinner tonight?

How was his tolerance to alcohol?

Could Cate get drunk before Shaun did?

Amid her distress, Shaun gave her a call. “Where are you?”

“In the office.”

“Send me your address. I’ll pick you up downstairs in 20 minutes. You’ll accompany me to a birthday banquet.” Here came the opportunity.

Cate’s eyes sparkled, but she was subsequently filled with dissatisfaction. “You didn’t want to attend my grandma’s birthday banquet, so why should I accompany you this time?”

“If you’re not willing to come with me, that’s fine. I’ll look for someone else…”

Just as Shaun was about to hang up, Cate gave in and saved the situation. “I’m coming, I’m coming. In the love arena, it’s always the person who falls in love first who loses. I’m doomed to completely lose my heart to you. How brilliant you are.”

With that, she took the thermos flask and sipped on her coffee. Even she was impressed by her own flirting skills.

A few seconds later, Shaun’s voice came from the other end. “My phone is connected to the car via Bluetooth, and Chase is

seated beside me.”

Splat! Cate spat out the coffee in her mouth onto the computer screen.

Chase’s voice subsequently sounded, “Not bad, Sister-in-law. I couldn’t tell that you can flirt so well. No wonder Shaun—” “lm coming.”

The call was hung up straight away.

Cate lay on the table, feeling embarrassed to death.

She dawdled when packing her things and went downstairs afterward. At that time, she received a call from Mireya.

“How did things go? Did you manage to progress things with your husband to a point of no return last night?”

“No, but he asked me to accompany him to a birthday banquet tonight. I think this is the chance. Having said that, when he goes out for social activities at night, I’ve never seen him get drunk…”

Cate sighed, knowing that Shaun was a very sensible person.

“Birthday banquet?” Mireya was momentarily stunned. “Is it Chase’s grandpa’s 80th birthday? I want to come along too.”

“I think so. Shaun is going to have fun with Chase.”

‘That’ll be great. I’ll get some people to drink with Shaun and try to get him drunk. If that doesn’t work, I’ll bring some drugs…” “Hehe. Anyway, I’ll definitely send him to your bed for the sake of your plan to become Nathan’s aunt.”

Cate took a long, deep breath. Everything was being planned so abruptly that she had not mentally braced herself for it.

However, Mireya had begun to help her get everything ready in excitement.

Cate waited anxiously by the road. Damn, was she supposed to prepare anything?

Furthermore, she had no experience with this sort of stuff. When Shaun became drunk, she could not possibly be left alone with him.

Beep, beep.

A few honks sounded. Lost in thought, she did not hear the honks.

Shaun stared at the woman who was spacing out and looking embarrassed. She had her face covered while she stood by the road. He was totally at a loss for words.

He was not sure what was in her mind either. Was she deaf?

Chase squinted his eyes and smiled. “Shaun, I somehow feel that your wife is thinking about something dirty, and you’re most probably in her thoughts…”

“She’s not you, okay.” Shaun gave him an icy stare, even though he was a little skeptical about it.

“Honestly, the more I look at Sister-in-law, the more I find her cute. In fact, I live in the same city as her, but you somehow got her first…”

Before Chase could finish his sentence, a cold air surrounded him.

Shaun warned him impassively, “Don’t get any ideas about her. She’s not someone you can randomly fool around with.”

After that, he opened the door and got out of the car. He walked directly toward Cate.
