“Cate Cox…” Shaun interrupted Cate with gritted teeth. His handsome face flushed with shame. “Stop tying this back to Sarah and me, okay?”
“No, I insist on doing so. I care about it.” Cate wrapped her arms around his neck. “Am I more charming, or is she more charming? If you don’t give me an answer today, you won’t hear the end of it from me.”
Shaun’s head hurt. As much as he felt like flying into a temper, the woman looked so lovely even when she was being unreasonable. How could he possibly be harsh with her?
“Is it so difficult to answer? I know, I’m sure you’ve slept with Sarah a lot. I’m going to ignore you now.”
She pretended to be angry and pushed him away. Then, she rose to her feet and was about to leave.
In a state of panic, Shaun swiftly hugged her from behind. “Babe, I’ll answer you, alright? Actually… Actually, I’ve never done it with Sarah.”
Cate froze. She turned around and glanced at him in disbelief. “Stop deceiving me. Since you loved her so much previously, how could you possibly not have done it with her? Shaun, this is such a blatant lie.”
“I’m not lying.” Shaun gave a bitter laugh. “ Whenever I tried sleeping with her, I’d have an upset stomach. I’ve even vomited a few times. When I lost control and looked for you the other day, I didn’t get framed. In truth, Sarah tried to do something to me but she failed. I ended up vomiting.”
Cate was dazed. She had just wanted to sound him out. She did not expect what Yael said to be true.
“You spotted me visiting the andrology unit before this, didn’t you?” Shaun gripped her hand helplessly. “I thought there was something wrong with me, but when I was with you later… I could function normally. I thought I just couldn’t deal with Sarah, so I tried it with a few other women. In the end, they also made me feel like vomiting.”
“You even tried it with other women…?” Cate widened her eyes.
“I did that for the sake of understanding my condition. Anyway, I was never planning to do it with them. Don’t get me wrong. In fact, my private life is very decent,” Shaun quickly explained.
“But why didn’t you let me know earlier?” Cate shrank away from his grip. “You decided to be with me just because I can satisfy your needs, huh?”
“This is exactly why I didn’t tell you. I was afraid you’d have such a thought.”
Shaun said softly, “I want to be with you simply because I love you. It feels like home when I’m with you. When I’m alone, I keep thinking about you. Even during meetings, I can’t help checking my phone frequently. I’m afraid I won’t get to reply to your message immediately. I’ve never changed because of anyone. If not love, what is this?”
Cate’s heart jerked in spite of herself.
Despite being clear about her ulterior motive for approaching him, she could not help but get swayed by him.
“Cathy, stop overthinking, okay? There’s no doubt that I love you.”
Shaun turned her face gently and kissed her affectionately.
“By the way, Sarah went to the hospital to undergo i n-vitro fertilization recently. Did you— ”
“No. I only accompanied her twice for a medical check-up. I didn’t approve of it. She won’t be having a child,” Shaun responded vaguely.
Cate then hugged him without saying anything else.
Just like that, they would continue staying together for as long as they could. Even though she had a hidden agenda, she thought of putting it aside until some time later.
At this moment, Shaun’s phone rang all of a sudden.
He did not answer the call. When the incessant calls did not stop, he got up and answered it grumpily. “ Rodney Snow, are you asking for death?”
“You’re the one asking for death, Shaun. You’re actually in the mood to go on a f*cking trip with Cate when Sarah is in trouble!” Rodney roared, “She has been kidnapped! ” Shaun’s red eyes darkened. “What happened?”
“Sarah went missing this afternoon when she went out to buy something. I couldn’t even contact her. Only when I asked the housekeeper did I learn that she hadn’t returned to the seaside villa at all. I checked the surveillance cameras and found that someone covered her mouth and brought her into the car when she was in the car park of a shopping mall.”
Rodney said furiously, “Come back right now! Now that you’ve dumped her, she might not be able to survive if this bunch of people who’ve kidnapped her are hooligans.”
“I’m coming back now.” Shaun rose to his feet.
Cate hugged him from behind and cast a flirtatious look at him. “Shaun, are you going to leave me behind?”
“You can come with me,” Shaun whispered.
“But I don’t want to meddle in Sarah’s affairs. Just let Rodney and Chester save her,” Cate
responded with a low voice.
Those words made Shaun’s eyes flash with grimness.
Subsequently, Rodney’s howl sounded from the phone as the call had not ended.
“Cate Cox, you’re such a cruel woman! Sarah has been kidnapped and the kidnappers might kill her. At such a moment, you’re still feeling jealous! Don’t you have the slightest sympathy? Why did Shaun fall for a woman like you?”
“Rodney!” Shaun hung up the call without letting Rodney continue.
He turned around and said to Cate in a stern voice, “ If you don’t feel like coming with me, you can stay here. I’ll ask Elle to pick you up tomorrow o r even accompany you for a few days.”
“Didn’t you assign Elle to another part of the country?”
“ I’ll ask her to come back right now. ” With that, Shaun swiftly put on his clothes and took his phone.
When he opened the door, the mountain breeze blew in on this chilly night. She wrapped her arms around her body. Before she realized it, he had already left.
With her arms around her knees, Cate gave a weak smile.
Just earlier, she had swayed upon hearing his sweet words. Little did she expect a slap in the face so soon after.
It was not a bad thing, after all. At least, she was learning not to be so easily touched by his words.
She had to thank Sarah for that. Her trip with Shaun made the news during the day, and Sarah was then kidnapped at night. What a coincidence.
It must be another new plan of hers.
It probably had to do with that man who was heading to Neah Bay.
Cate tried to call Logan, but she could not reach him.
Somehow, she felt as though a dark shadow was cast on her. It was just like the night sky outside.
She quickly leaped to her feet and looked for the owner of the villa. “Sir, can you ask someone to send me down the mountain immediately? I have something urgent to deal with.”
“Eh? Why didn’t you go with your boyfriend? He left first and now you’re leaving at such a late hour.” The owner yawned. “Let me remind you that the roads here are winding. It’s not easy to travel in the middle of the night.”
“I really have something urgent to deal with. Please get me a good driver. I’m willing to pay any amount.”
6:00 a.m.
Shaun entered the seaside villa under the morning sunlight.
The top hacker and the members of Liona as well as the brilliant people of the Jewell family were
already here. In addition, there were quite a number of people from the police department.
Rodney punched Shaun the minute he saw him. “ It’s all because of you! If you hadn’t driven away the Liona members after Sarah was discharged, she wouldn’t have been kidnapped, you b*stard! If anything happens to her, I won’t let you off!”
Shaun held Rodney’s fist and narrowed his eyes. “ Rather than kicking a fuss here, why don’t you go search for her?”
After a moment, he turned around and asked Chance. “How is it going?”
