He stood up abruptly. He yanked Cindy’s arm and pressed her down on the table hard. “Who allowed you to be so talkative? Is your tongue bothering you? If so, I’ll cut it off for you.”
After he spoke, he took a knife from the table.
Cindy’s eyes widened in fear, and her whole body trembled. “I didn’t. I’m innocent. Chester, save me.”
“Shaun.” Chester grabbed Shaun’s hand. “Please do me a favor.”
“Do you know it was her mouth that made me lose my children?” Shaun’s eyes were cold.
“Forget it. Just don’t push the responsibility on others.”
Cate wiped her mouth with a napkin before she suddenly interceded for Cindy. “Cindy was just telling me the truth. At that moment, I was really grateful. Otherwise, I would’ve been kept in the dark like a fool. Now that the children are gone, it’s nobody else’s fault but ours.”
Shaun’s body stiffened in embarrassment. He knew she wanted to say that losing the child was mainly his fault. Thomas was the trigger, and he was the one who added insult to injury.
Chester took the knife away from Shaun and released Cindy from his grasp.
“ Shaun, we’ll head upstairs to have our meal. We won’t bother you.”
Chester held Cindy’s hand and left. Cindy was still weak in the knees. She never thought Shaun would be so creepy and terrifying. However, she was not at all grateful to Cate for saving her just now. If Cate had not said those words, she would not be taught a lesson by Shaun. She would not even…
She secretly glanced at Chester’s unpredictable, handsome face, and an uneasy feeling grew in her.
When they entered a private room, Chester slammed the door shut and lit a cigarette. There was a trace of hostility on his gentlemanly face. “
Cindy, that mouth of yours has been causing me a lot of trouble.”
“Chester, I’m sorry. Cate, Mireya, and I are good friends. I just thought they were quite pitiful back then, so I couldn’t help but tell the truth, ” Cindy explained with tears in her eyes.
“Forget it. Don’t take me as a fool.”
Chester tapped her face lightly. He exuded a hint of coldness and hostility. “If you really care about them, why did you get so close to Sarah in the last three years? One moment, you’re feeling unfair for Sarah, and another, you say Cate and Mireya are your friends. Well, your heart goes out to so many people.”
His voice was calm, yet to Cindy, it sounded like stormy waves. It made her feel uneasy.
“If you weren’t useful to me, I would’ve broken up with a pretentious woman like you a long time ago.” Chester warned her sternly, “You better stay put from now on and shut your mouth. If not, don’t even think about being cast in a movie and making a comeback.”
With a pale face, Cindy nodded her head obediently.
Cate had utterly ruined her reputation the last time. Besides appearing in some variety shows in the past few months, she had yet received a casting offer for a new movie. As such, she was counting on Chester.
“Chester, I have something to say… But I don’t know whether I should say it or not…” She stammered.
“If you think you shouldn’t, then shut your mouth,” Chester scolded.
“No. I just find it puzzling.” Cindy gritted her teeth. She had to finish her sentence. “Young Master Lyons had hurt Cate so cruelly in the past. He put her on house arrest and caused her to miscarry. He even sent her to the mental hospital. If I were a woman, I wouldn’t forgive him at all. But why is she suddenly
… back together with him again? Doesn’t she feel uncomfortable?”
“What are you trying to say?” Chester’s eyes narrowed.
Cindy was startled. “I’m afraid that Cate is now trying to take revenge on Young Master Lyons. This is just my instinct as a woman. I’m not trying t o frame her intentionally. I’m just scared that
Young Master Lyons will get hurt once he falls too deep in the relationship.”
“Go and order some food.” Chester shot her an icy glance.
“Okay.” Cindy nodded and ran out in a hurry to call the waiter.
Chester took a drag on his cigarette. He found it quite weird as well after Cindy mentioned it.
9:00 p.m.
A sports car was parked at the parking lot of Hackett Institute.
Cate undid her seat belt. Just as she was about to get down the car, Shaun suddenly grabbed her.
His throat moved, but he did not know what to say.
They were having a good time during the meal. However, they became silent after Cindy came and messed things up.
“Cathy, I’m sorry…” Shaun was filled with regret. If he knew that he would fall in love with her, he would never have been so ruthless back then.
“Do you still hate me?”
“It’d be a lie if I said I don’t hate you. ” Cate’s eyes trembled. There was a hint of bitterness in her eyes. “Whenever I think about those two children when I was overseas, I wanted to chew your meat off desperately. When I came back, I was determined to make you guys suffer. But when you forced me to get a divorce, I realized I was still powerless to go against you guys. And now you’re here, wooing me. I feel conflicted and anxious.
Sometimes I want to get back together with you again, but sometimes I’m really scared…”
Shaun pulled her into his embrace before she could finish her sentence. He hugged her tightly. “It won’t happen anymore. Trust me. I’ll never hurt you again. I screwed up last time, Cathy. Let’s have a pair of twins again in the future, okay?”
Cate chuckled with her eyes downcast. She sounded helpless. “Do you think it’s that easy to have twins?”
“Then, we’ll have two kids. Our daughter will surely be as adorable as Suzie. ” Somehow, when Shaun said that, he suddenly longed to have a child that belonged to them both.
“Suzie…”
Cate found it hilarious. Suzie was his daughter from the start.
However, she would never let Shaun find out. A person like him did not deserve to be a child’s father.
“We’ll talk about this again next time.” She looked up. “You didn’t eat much tonight. Are you hungry? I can go upstairs and make you some risotto.”
Shaun’s eyes lit up. He thought remembering the past would make her upset. He, too, was very anxious, but he did not expect her to still care for his stomach.
Especially when she invited him up on a night like that, he did not feel like going back.
Once they were upstairs, Cate used yesterday’s leftover rice and made risotto for Shaun. There were also ham, corn, and vegetables in it.
The whole room was filled with the fragrance of the food. Shaun devoured the whole plate of risotto. He used to complain that she made him risotto because she was too lazy to deal with him. However, he was not picky at all that day. Having something to eat was good enough.
“Babe, why is your cooking so delicious?” Shaun lamented again. “I want to eat it for the rest of my life.”
“Yeah. You once had the chance to eat it for the rest of your life, but you drove me away.” Cate got up and collected the plates. “Go back. It’s late.”
When she turned around, Shaun came up from behind and tightened his arms around her waist.
“I don’t want to go back. I want to stay. I can sleep o n the sofa.”
“Shaun, I’m not any other woman, ” Cate said solemnly. “When I slept with you before, what I got in return was your disrespect and birth control pills. This time, I want to love myself more. I don’t want to give myself away so easily.”
Shaun was speechless. It was his fault for having done so many scummy things.
If he knew that this day existed, he would have gone back in time and punched himself a few times.
In the past, he had never cherished sleeping with her. Yet now, he could not even sleep with her even i f he wanted to.
