“That’s right. You kept standing at my door, not wanting to leave. It was a huge inconvenience to m e, ” Cate said coldly without any hint of guilt.
“You…”
Shaun’s chest heaved. As a highly regarded man, he had never been humiliated by a woman like that before.
“What about me? I’m not a person who’s at your beck and call. Mr. Lyons, you can’t choose a useful woman when you need her but abandon her for another attractive yet useless woman when you don’t.” Cate scolded him bluntly. “I remember telling you this clearly the night before, that if you went to Sarah, you shouldn’t bother coming back to me anymore.”
When Cate recalled that he sent a selfie of him at home to her but went to find Sarah the next moment, she was truly disgusted with him.
“I… I had no choice. Sarah fell down from the stairs that day, and she hurt her leg. If I didn’t go, she would refuse to get treated. In the end, I went and made things clear to her. See? Rodney even fought with me over this matter.”
Shaun pointed at the wound on his mouth. All he could do was act pitiful as he hissed in pain. “It still hurts a lot.”
“Serves you right, ” Cate said those three words and sneered.
Shaun stiffened for a moment before he said brazenly, “Yes, I deserved it. You have foresight after all, babe. You told me not to go.”
“Who’s your babe? Watch your mouth.” Cate’s scalp tingled from him calling her babe,
to which she glared at him with her bright eyes.
Her discerning big eyes, delicate fair skin, and juicy pink lips made Shaun’s heart melt. It melted more when he recalled the kiss emoji that she sent him.
He was determined to get her to forgive him that day, even if he had to be brazen-faced. Then, he would slowly savor the taste of kissing her.
“Cathy, I’ve already cleared things up with Sarah. I don’t love her anymore, and it’s impossible for me to get back together with her and marry her.”
Shaun held Cate’s petite hands and grabbed them tightly. His deep, obsidian-like gaze was serious.
Cate’s mind wandered for a moment.
He had once looked at her with contempt and said that the one he loved was Sarah.
So, when she heard him saying that from his thin lips again, she did not feel touched. Instead, she thought it was ironic.
“Babe, can you give me another chance?”
Shaun thought her remaining silent meant that she was touched. Hence, he stretched his hands and wanted to pull her into his embrace.
However, Cate put her hands against his chest. “Shaun, I really don’t know whether I should believe you again or not. I’ve been hurt by you too many times now. I’m afraid that if I start having expectations of you once more, Sarah will call you away again or threaten you with her life. I haven’t been with you for long, but you and Sarah have known each other for more than 1o years…”
“No, Cathy. I won’t fail you anymore.” Shaun hugged her tightly. “Don’t you know what type of person I am by now? I won’t say such words if I’m not sure of my feelings.”
Cate’s face was buried in his embrace. At a place where he could not see, there was mockery in her eyes.
She knew him all too well. He could utter any sweet words when he was in love. That was why she fell for him again despite being hurt by him time and time again.
However, when he was not in love, he was cold, heartless, and cruel.
“Babe…” When Shaun saw Cate still in his arms, a wave of passion surged in him. “You owe m e a kiss.”
After that, he lowered his head and kissed her.
A hand covered Shaun’s lips before he could kiss Cate.
“When did I owe you a kiss?” Cate was puzzled. She was about to be defeated by his shamelessness.
“The night the day before yesterday. ” Shaun took his phone out and showed her the kiss emoji that she had sent him.
Cate’s pretty face flushed when she saw the kiss emoji on the phone. She had done it at the spur of the moment purely with the intention to make this man yearn for her. However, she did not expect him to remember it so well.
“Oh, I remember. But… did you go look for Sarah immediately after receiving my emoji?” she asked with a fake smile.
“No.”
Shaun’s expression stiffened, and he said unnaturally, “I went to take a cold bath after I received it.”
Since they were adults, Cate found herself understanding his words right away.
Her eyes widened in disbelief before her cheeks heated up. She was speechless.
Seriously? Was it not just an emoji that everyone was using? Why was he so horny?
“You just broke up with Sarah a few days ago. Was that necessary?” She could not help but mutter softly.
However, Shaun’s hearing was excellent. Having heard her clearly, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his eyes. Then, his lips moved. At first, he wanted to say that he could only react to her, but he wanted to avoid her from thinking that he only loved her body and not her person if she found out the truth. It would be troublesome if she overthought.
“No. You’re the one who has a destructive power over me.”
Cate averted her gaze. “Does it mean that you owe me a beating if I send you a punching emoji next time?”
“Sure.” Shaun stared at her lips with a scalding
gaze. As long as he could kiss her, he would take any beating in the future.
That man had no bottom line at all.
“I think you’re still dreaming. I’m too lazy to waste my time with you. I’m going to the company.”
Cate could not care less about him anymore and turned around straight away.
“Wait, I’ll take you to the company.” Shaun grabbed her arm and opened the door to the passenger seat.
Cate glanced at the passenger seat. “No. I don’t want to sit in a place where other women have sat before.”
After that, she walked toward the main entrance of the villa. The guard had already driven her car over.
Cate opened the car door and got into the driver’s seat. However, Shaun immediately sat on the passenger seat and buckled his seat belts.
“Brother, why are you following me? I have to go to work.” Cate snapped.
“I’ll send you to work. We can spend more time with each other on the way.” Shaun’s thin lips
lifted in a smile. “I just realized even the air is sweeter when I’m with you.”
Cate shuddered. “Shut up.”
Shaun frowned, looking aggrieved. He did not sleep in the car all night just so he could say these touching, romantic words. He had been learning on his phone, but she did not give him the chance to use them at all.
“Alright, I’ll shut up. But my mind is filled with your voice, so it doesn’t matter if we talk or not.” H e smiled affectionately.
The corners of Cate’s mouth twitched as she put her hand on her forehead. “What about your sports car? Are you just going to leave it there?”
“You said you don’t want to sit on it, so I don’t want it anymore. I’ll just get a new car.” Shaun took his phone out and called Hadley. He looked at the logo on Cate’s steering wheel and said, “Get me an Aston Martin.”
“But you just bought your car not long ago.”
