Just as Cate was distressed regarding how she should deal with the situation, a shadow was cast on her all of a sudden.
She looked up and caught sight of a familiar man’s features. She was so frightened that she took two steps backward and lost her balance in her high heels.
Seeing that she was about to fall, Shaun stretched out his hand to hold her waist and bring her into his arms so that she was able to keep her footing.
If this had happened on any other day, Cate would have only been slightly nervous. However, she had been picturing Shaun shirtless just a moment ago. Now that the tip of her nose was right next to his chest, her pretty face suddenly turned as red as a beet.
“Am I that scary?” Shaun raised his eyebrow
“No, I was just spacing out earlier.” She quickly moved backward and kept a distance from him.
“Get into the car.”
Shaun opened the door and sat in the driver’s seat.
Cate realized that someone was in the passenger seat, so she reluctantly went to the backseat. Cringing with embarrassment, she could not bring herself to face Chase.
“Hi, Sister-in-law. What were you thinking about just now? Why didn’t you hear the long honks?” Chase showed an evil smile. “From your expression, I could guess that you were thinking of Shaun.”
“Yes, I was thinking of him,” Cate said recklessly with a gentle tone. Then, she swiftly looked down.
Seated at the front, Shaun felt his scalp tingling as he gazed through the rear-view mirror at the woman whose head was lowered. Her two red ears were visible among her dark hair, making her look seductive.
He smirked calmly.
After letting out a ‘wow’, Chase covered his chest and said glumly, “I shouldn’t have asked that question. Seeing how lovey-dovey both of you are, I feel humiliated. Anyway, Shaun doesn’t have a pleasant personality, nor does he have a good temper. He also has a lot of dirty habits. What do you actually like about him?”
Deep down, Cate wanted to high-five Chase as he was absolutely right.
However, she only whispered, “Now that I’m in love with him, I see all his weaknesses as strengths. Conversely, those gentle and understanding men make me feel insecure. I’m simply fond of his qualities.”
Shaun’s lips curled even more in spite of himself. Anyway, this woman should not overdo it since someone else was here.
Shaun glanced sideways at Chase.
Chase felt as if he was being frowned upon. “I shouldn’t have come along, right?”
Shaun ignored him. Cate then said, “No, no. You’re humorous, Young Master Harrison. Your presence makes me feel much more relaxed.”
“Do you mean that you’re not relaxed when you’re with me?” Shaun suddenly turned sullen.
Cate was quick on her feet. “Isn’t this bound to happen? When you get along with someone you like, you feel as if your heart is always beating wildly and you’re at a loss.”
Shaun knocked on the steering wheel with his finger without saying anything.
Seated beside Shaun, Chase was gripped by jealousy and envy. He had never met any girls who kept confessing her love through her speech.
Cate quietly played with her phone in the backseat.
Suddenly, Mireya sent her two videos.
Mireya usually sent joyful videos to her. Cate thought the same this time, so she clicked on the videos straight away.
Before she could react, a loud sound filled the enclosed space in the car. A spicy scene subsequently popped out on the screen.
She got a shock, then she immediately turned it off.
However, the car had already stopped. The two men looked at her in a strange manner.
At that instant, she felt like fleeing by jumping out of the window.
“Uh… Let me explain. I was reading a pirated book when it just popped out.”
Chase touched his nose with an embarrassed look. “It’s fine, Sister-in-law. I normally watch it secretly at home. I didn’t know that we share the same hobby.”
Cate was speechless.
Boo-hoo. He did not seem to have comforted her.
Shaun’s face was overcome with a grim expression. “I’m warning you not to watch dirty things like that anymore.”
Shaun flew into a temper whenever he recalled Cate staring at a shirtless man. How shameless she was!
Chase argued, “To put it another way, it can be considered as a learning resource sometimes. Perhaps Sister-in-law is learning it for your sake.”
Cate nodded deep down, agreeing with Chase’s statement.
Shaun spoke in a somber tone, “There’s no need for that. She won’t need it.”
Even if that happened, he would be the one in control.
However, that was not what Cate thought. Assuming that he was not at all attracted to her in that way, she lowered her head in despair.
Chase glanced at her sympathetically. He then sighed after seeing how unromantic Shaun was.
…
After half an hour, the car stopped.
Cate raised her head, only to find that she had arrived at Miracle, a studio that provided personalized styles.
Although she had never been here, she heard that Miracle was the most well-known makeup studio in Melbourne.
Shaun turned around and said, “Go and get your makeup done first. I’m going to attend to something. I’ll pick you up in a while.”
Cate was stunned. “Shaunny, you just got back to Melbourne not long ago. Perhaps you don’t know that this studio doesn’t simply accept anyone even if you’re rich. You need to book an appointment one month in advance.”
“Shaunny?” Chase burst out laughing. Shortly after he began laughing, a death stare was directed at him.
Chase’s face froze a little, then he quickly said, “We don’t need to make a booking. Just go up. I’ve informed the boss about it.”
“Oh.”
Cate secretly sighed in satisfaction. Sure enough, the Harrison family was the most f*cking powerful family in Melbourne. How extraordinary.
As soon as she got upstairs, the store manager welcomed her and personally did her makeup.
An hour later, Shaun was back, but Cate was not done. He sat on the couch and waited for a while.
The door to the VIP room was soon opened, and Cate walked out of it.
She wore a long aqua dress, which was embroidered with diamonds all over. Not only was the dress shiny, but it also outlined her graceful figure perfectly. Her hair, which looked as dark as a seaweed, was curled and fell over her shoulders.
She seemed like a beauty back in the 90s, looking pretty and seductive.
Shaun’s eyes flashed with a burning sensation. He had long since been aware of her beauty. Unlike many other women these days, she had not gone through plastic surgery to have such beauty. Little did he expect that she would turn out to be strikingly attractive even with little makeup.
“Shaunny, do I look good?”
As soon as Cate noticed his gaze, her red lips flashed a winning smile. She walked toward him, hoping that he would shift his eyes to her.
Shaun remained silent while resting his gaze on her chest.
Cate blushed upon noticing that. She deliberately poked his chest. “Hey, what are you looking at?”
With her soft and flirtatious voice, he was on the verge of pulling her into his arms in spite of himself. Luckily, he managed to control himself. He spoke in a tense voice, “Go and get changed.”
“Why?” Cate was confused.
“This dress is too revealing. I don’t like it.” He turned around and went down right after that.
Furious, Cate felt an atomic bomb going off in her head. From his gaze earlier, it had given her the impression that he was aroused by her.
The store manager beside her said with a smile, “Miss Cox, Mr. Lyons cares about you a lot.”
