“Do you have time to have lunch together? I want to talk to you about the villa.”
“Sure.”
“I’ll pick you up in my car,” Wesley said in a soft voice, “I’m afraid you won’t know the way to the restaurant.”
Cate could only go along with his arrangement.
At noon sharp, Wesley’s car appeared downstairs.
She got in, and Wesley handed her a cup of milk tea. “I’m sorry, you were wronged yesterday.”
The milk tea was not expensive, so Cate took it without reservations.
“After being backstabbed by a relative, I believe that you’re not feeling too good either, President Sanderson.”
“You’re really smart.” Wesley’s eyes were full of bitterness, but there was sincere appreciation in his voice. “Nathan has really disappointed me. He wasn’t like this before.”
Cate was disappointed and frustrated as well. She shared the very same thoughts.
At what point did that warm and sunny childhood friend of hers change beyond recognition?
Wesley started the car. “All the cooperations between Golden Corporation and Lowe Corporation have been canceled.”
“That must be a big blow to Nathan.” Cate sighed. The position of the successor to Lowe Corporation that Nathan longed for was not stable anymore.
She suddenly felt a little sad.
After making a full circle, she never thought that the person who helped her get back at that scumbag would really be his uncle. He was just not Shaun Lyons.
She became a little curious. If Nathan was no longer the successor to Lowe Corporation, would Rosabella still stay with him?
It would be interesting if Rosabella dumped him to climb another branch.
“Aren’t you happy?” Wesley had been paying attention to her beautiful and pure little face. She would sigh one moment and then look like she was about to cry in the next. It was quite cute.
“I am, but Aunt Sonya will definitely come to you to beg for mercy, right?”
Wesley looked at her with a smile. “It’s useless to plead for mercy. It was her fault for being so ruthless to you.”
The man’s eyes were affectionate, and Cate was startled, not daring to look at him.
“Um… Let me treat you to a meal to thank you for being impartial.”
“No, if I were really impartial, I would’ve handed the case over to the police. Let me treat you instead as an apology.”
“No, you’re family, after all. You’ve already dealt with it beyond my expectations.”
“Can’t you just give me a chance to invite you to dinner?” Wesley blinked at her and said in a joking tone.
Cate could not argue with him anymore.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at a famous high-end western restaurant in Melbourne.
Cate was stunned. It was a bit ambiguous for a man and a woman to come to such a restaurant for dinner.
“Let’s go.” Wesley opened the passenger door for her.
Cate had no choice but to follow him.
Wesley had obviously made reservations, and the waiter brought the two to the bright floor-to-ceiling window. Pink flowers flown in from abroad were decorated above them.
“Pink roses. They mean ‘I like your bright smile’.” Wesley picked up the flowers and handed them to her with gentle eyes. “Cate, it might be too bold of me to say this, but I have to tell you that I have feelings for you. You’ve suffered a lot these recent days, but I sincerely hope that in the future, I can shield you from the wind and rain.”
Cate was completely flustered. She had not expected Wesley to confess to her at this moment.
Ahhhhhhhh were the heavens playing a trick on her?
Nathan’s uncle liked her, but she had married the wrong person!
She was riddled with scars. How would she be in the mood to move on to another relationship?
“I… I’m sorry, Mr. Sanderson. I… I only think of you as a friend.”
“I’m glad that you do.” Nathan was a little disheartened, but he continued to smile. “It’s okay. I didn’t confess to you because I wanted you to accept me. I just want you to understand my feelings so I can pursue you.”
Cate felt her head throb. “But I have no intention of dating now. I want to focus on my work.”
“I can wait for you. Alright, let’s sit down and order first.” Wesley gentlemanly pulled out a chair for her.
Cate was helpless and could only lower her head and order her meal.
…
At the intersection outside the window of the restaurant, a Ferrari was waiting for the red light.
Sitting in the passenger seat was Shaun Lyons, whose dark eyes suddenly hardened when he took a glance outside.
“Turn left. We’ll eat at that western restaurant by the roadside.
“Oh, that won’t do. We have an appointment with Mr. Jackson to talk about the case.” Chase followed Shaun’s gaze and looked over. He instantly understood why the temperature in the car had suddenly dropped. Shaun was jealous.
“Cancel it,” Shaun’s eyes were cold as ice as he ordered.
Chase could only do as ordered and stop the car after turning in.
When the two appeared at the door of the restaurant, the receptionist froze for a moment.
It was her first time seeing two young and handsome men coming together to eat at the restaurant… Could they be in… that kind of relationship?
The receptionist looked regretful but said politely, “Would you like the couple booth?”
Chase stumbled on his feet.
Sh*t. His pure and innocent reputation was ruined.
“No need.” Shaun expressionlessly walked straight toward where Cate was sitting.
The closer he got, the clearer he could see that the person she was eating with was another man.
She had never even done that with Shaun before. Damn it. She was laughing so happily too.
Chase was shocked. “Woah, isn’t that Wesley Sanderson from Golden Corporation? They wanted to ask you to take on their case before.”
“No wonder he looks familiar.” The coldness on Shaun’s face grew.
It was no wonder she was clamoring for a divorce. She had already set her eyes on another target.
He looked at what she was wearing now. The matcha-green cardigan was wrapped around her exquisite figure, showing off all her curves and leaving the rest to people’s imaginations.
She also sported a new look of curly chestnut hair, making her originally beautiful features look even more delicate and tempting.
Cate was chatting with Wesley about some matters abroad when she suddenly felt a chilly wave.
Then, a slender white hand was pressed on the back of the empty dining chair beside her. Looking at the hand, she followed the trail until she saw a watch of an unknown brand on the wrist.
Although it was simple and low-key, as the person’s wrist was too beautiful, it made the watch seem like a famous branded watch.
She remembered that only Shaun Lyons wore a watch like that…
Just as that thought flashed by, Shaun dragged the chair out and sat down.
Why is it taking s long to release more chapters? Its been over a month now and nothing new.
