Cate snapped at him. “Don’t talk nonsense. I’m coming over now.”
“Hurry up. I’m afraid she won’t hold on much longer.” Shaun hung up after speaking.
“Lalalala, my darling little Cate, I’m done with my makeup so let’s go.” Mireya had changed into a red dress and came out with a spin. “Do I look pretty?”
“Mireya, I’m really sorry but Fudge is giving birth now so I have to go over. We shouldn’t go out tonight.” Cate tossed her a few words and hurried out the door.
Mireya. “…Are you going to be the midwife?”
However, what answered her was the sound of the door closing.
How infuriating!
It had taken a long time before she finally picked this dress, but Cate left her behind because of a cat.
…
Cate sped all the way to Jadeite Bay.
When she reached the door, she realized that the password had not been changed.
The lights in the room were bright. Shaun was squatting in front of the room where Fudge was delivering, quietly looking inside. He was like an old father waiting for his beloved daughter to give birth.
“How is it? Has she given birth?” Cate rushed over.
“Yeah.”
Shaun looked at her with a complex expression. Ever since she moved out, she had begun dressing more youthfully.
Tonight, she wore a brown beret along with a short white down jacket.
It was the first time he saw a woman pull off a heavy down jacket so well. The furry snow-white collar lined her delicate face, almost making her look like a snowman.
Further down were black socks and short boots that wrapped snugly around her slender legs, looking extremely seductive.
Cate was not in the mood to notice his gaze. She rushed to the delivery room and saw Fudge lying on the blanket weakly.
Laying next to her were three very small kittens. The kittens had their eyes closed and were still damp. It was clear that they had just emerged from their mother’s belly.
Her heart almost melted. “They’re so cute.”
Shaun took a look inside. Cute?
How were they cute? Their fur was all matted and they looked more like bald mice.
However, it had been a long time since he saw her revealing such a gentle expression.
“Do you like them?” He looked at her. If she did, he could reluctantly make her their master.
“Of course I do. Who wouldn’t like such little kitties?” Cate poked them with her pinky finger and suddenly remembered something. “Didn’t you say Fudge was having a difficult birth?”
How were the kittens already born by the time she arrived?
Shaun replied calmly, “It was very dangerous just now.”
He had not lied. After all, births were difficult, so he was right when he said it was a difficult birth.
Cate believed him and patted Fudge dearly. “Fudge, you’ve worked hard. You’re so brave. You’re the best.”
Fudge mewled weakly, completely exhausted.
“She’s hungry,” Shaun said.
Cate thought so too. Giving birth was a laborious process.
“I’ll make something delicious for her.”
The lights and stove lit up the kitchen, and she put on the apron she used to wear before.
Shaun stood behind her, finding the sight pleasing to the eye. Sure enough, she looked right in her element at home. “I’m hungry too.”
Cate pretended not to hear him, so he went up to her and breathed into her ear. “I said I’m hungry. Did you hear me?”
Her eyes trembled, and she almost dropped the spatula.
Looking back at his brazenly handsome face, she gave a small smile. “Mr. Lyons, I seem to remember you saying I’m as dirty as the women standing by the side of the street and that you never want to eat my cooking again because it’ll ruin your appetite.”
“…”
Shaun’s handsome face imperceptibly stiffened for a moment. Had he said that?
Even if he had, was there a need for her to remember it so clearly?
“I was… Can’t you tell when I’m just speaking out of anger?” He raised a sharp brow. “Which man can remain calm and not get angry when he’s hurt by improper means? Are you saying that we don’t even have the right to be angry anymore just because we’re men?”
Cate was rendered speechless.
Fine. He was a lawyer. He was best at refuting words.
“Cook.” Shaun knocked on the kitchen counter when she remained silent.
“Fine, I’ll cook.”
Shaun revealed a smile.
Although she had not been here for a while, the fridge was pretty well stocked with ingredients. In fact, they were all expensive and premium ingredients.
She whipped up salmon meatballs and cat pudding for Fudge. When it was Shaun’s turn, she randomly made a bowl of noodles, then sprinkled some scallions and added a little soy sauce in it. Lastly, she added a big spoonful of chili paste inside.
“That was quick.” Shaun walked over and froze when he saw the bowl. Then, he glanced at Fudge’s meal. It was the difference between heaven and earth.
Meow.
Fudge had not eaten Cate’s food for a long time and happily bit into the meatball. It was too delicious.
Shaun sneered. “I’m not even as good as a cat now?”
“I guess so. I’ve always lived like this.” Cate played with the cat. How would she be comparable to a cat in his heart?
“Are you getting back at me?” Shaun stared at her profile and suddenly smiled.
“You’re overthinking.”
Cate had just finished speaking when her features became contorted as she looked straight into his dark eyes.
“I don’t believe you aren’t enjoying this at all.”
“I’m not.”
Clarissa felt the need to be completely clear with him.
“I admit that I shamelessly chased after you before and even used improper means to get you. I was probably possessed back then.
“I don’t blame you for the names you called me because what you said was right. A relationship like this is only meaningful if both parties are harmonious with each other. Besides, you saved me twice before and I’ve been your nanny for free for so long, so let’s call it even. No one owes the other anything.”
Shaun stood up and smiled coldly. “You pestered me endlessly before. All the things you did and all the things you said, are you writing that off with just a simple ‘I was probably possessed’?
“Back then, who was the one who said that she was overjoyed because she had met her darling?
“Who was it who vowed that she would be good to me alone and do everything that she promised?
“Who was it who said that all my flaws are merits in her eyes and that she liked my tone?”
