He suddenly remembered how the two of them had disappeared from the restaurant the other day. It occurred to him at that moment that they must have an unusual relationship.
Nathan was displeased at the sight too. He questioned Mireya who was still there in the courtroom. “It looks like Cate is quite friendly with Mr. Lyons. Is it possible that he likes her?
“Oh right, you mentioned that a friend of yours knows Mr. Lyons. Who is it that you’re talking about?
“I heard that it’s a real challenge to hire Mr. Lyons as an attorney. One might have to offer an unimaginable price even if he agrees. Does Cate have that much money?”
She became annoyed being bombarded with so many questions. “None of your business. Get out of my way, you scum.”
“You…” Nathan’s face flushed.
“If it wasn’t because you had tried your best to try to save Cate out of prison the last time, I’d have thrown this purse in your face already.”
Mireya gave a snort of contempt before walking away.
…
Underground car park.
Hadley was behind the wheels. The two people were sitting in silence at the back.
Shaun occupied himself with his phone.
However, the indifference exuded from his body dropped the temperature in the car by several degrees.
Cate would occasionally turn to look at him. She knew he was displeased but she was certain it was not out of jealousy. Perhaps he suspected she was misbehaving again.
After all, every time another man gave her a ride home, he instinctively assumed that she was out seducing them.
She understood this thinking. Men were generally possessive.
Only they could have their wife, even if he did not like her that much.
A sigh escaped her lips, and she cautiously tugged the corner of his sleeve. “I had no idea that they would show up. There’s nothing going on between me and them.”
“Nothing?”
He scoffed and threw her a sarcastic glance.
“So why do they keep calling you ‘Cate’ so affectionately? One is your ex-boyfriend whereas the other one is your suitor. The two of them kept coming to thank me in such a situation. Cate Cox, you really are charming, aren’t you?”
“…”
His words sent a shudder down her spine and she suddenly had no idea what to say.
“Answer me.” He became more infuriated when faced with her silence.
With a quivering voice, she replied, “Um… Well… I did mention to you before that people are attracted to my charms.”
Hadley, who was driving in the front seat, silently prayed for her.
As expected, an enigmatic smile flashed across Shaun’s face as he angrily peeled his necktie away.
Obscene images she had once read in books came flooding into her mind as she backed into the corner subconsciously. “What are you doing? You’re trying to tie me up. I’ll jump out of the car right now.”
Startled, Shaun looked at the necktie in his hand and smiled faintly upon figuring out what was on her mind.
“Jump out of the car if you want.” Shaun deliberately stretched out his necktie as he instructed Hadley, “Speed up. Drive at the speed where she’ll die instantly if she jumps out right now.”
“…”
Cate was speechless.
This man was the devil himself.
Upon realizing that Hadley was actually speeding up, she glared at him angrily but her courage to jump out of the car had instantly diminished.
“Come here.” Finally, he gestured to her impatiently.
“As long as you don’t tie me up,” she said worriedly.
“Did I say I want to tie you up? You’re the one entertaining these filthy thoughts.” He impatiently grabbed her close and placed her on his lap.
There was someone else in the car! Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she dared not move around simply. To play safe, she initiated a neutral conversation topic.
“What would you like for dinner tonight? I’ll make anything you request to thank you for your help today.”
“It’s always food with you.” He threw her a mocking look before laughing sarcastically. “What else do you know apart from cooking for me?”
She was at a loss for words. He was the one who always ordered her to cook for him.
He snorted when she did not reply. “Why were they here today?”
“I don’t know.” She blinked innocently with her round eyes.
“You’re prohibited to meet those two stupid things again,” he warned.
“…”
She blushed with shame at his arrogant comment. Nathan was empty-headed but Wesley was at the very least a successful, young businessman.
“You don’t seem to agree with me?” Shaun asked. Beneath his raised eyebrows were eyes overflowing with dangerous intent.
“Of course I do.” Cate instantly tried to curry his favor. “You’re right that they’re not on your level. The way you triumphed over the enemy at the courtroom today was incredibly awesome. I’ve no idea how you did that. Those horrible doings of James were well-hidden yet you managed to dig them out. You’re totally my idol. Incredible!”
She gestured a thumbs up and looked as if she was completely infatuated by his charms.
Despite that, she was speaking the truth. Initially, she thought it would be a challenge to win this case. It was not an easy feat to defeat someone as treacherous as James.
However, it seemed that Shaun handled it almost effortlessly.
The woman’s eyes sparkled with brilliance. His thin lips curled upward slightly and he instantly became delighted.
He had won countless court cases before but this was certainly his proudest achievement so far.
Shaun lazily placed an arm on the headrest while he played with her long chestnut-colored hair with his free hand.
“Do you know how much effort I poured into this case? Every piece of information and evidence did not come by easily.”
“I know, and I really appreciate it.” Cate felt even more sorry upon hearing this.
He stole a glance at her out of the corner of his eyes. Suddenly, he massaged the area between his brows, looking exhausted. “I’m tired,” he said through his thin lips.
“Let me give you a massage.” She quickly sat upright and started rubbing his temples.
He shut his eyes and quietly enjoyed this moment.
Hadley, who was sitting in front, twitched the corners of his lips. He was shocked by Young Master Lyons’s shamelessness.
‘Please, all you did was give the orders. I was the one who ran back and forth tirelessly for the information.’
…
The car slowly pulled up at the villa.
Cate’s hands were hurting slightly from the long massage. Shaun opened his eyes and got out of the car. “I’m going swimming. You should start on dinner, and make more food than usual.”
