Suddenly, Chase raised his eyebrow and asked curiously, “You’ve stayed with her for a long time now, but do you really not have any feelings for her?”“Feelings?” Shaun mocked. “What about your feelings for the housekeeper who cooks for your family? I probably would’ve tolerated her presence if it was before, but now… I won’t forgive her.” Chase rolled his eyes. “What about… plotting against her as well? Lock her in the room and let her experience your pain.”The corners of Shaun’s mouth froze. He replied sulkily, “She has been eyeing me even from before. If I do that, she’ll surely get mad and might even destroy the door of my house.” “...”Chase shuddered at the thought of the scene.“Shut up. Just leave me alone.” Shaun began to feel thirsty. “Fetch me a glass of water.” ...At 4:00 a.m., Shaun was done with the IV infusion. He returned home only after the heat in his body subsided.Once he entered the house, he saw Catherine sleeping soundly on the couch in the living r

After all, Catherine was a young lady. She might give up on designing his villa in the heat of the moment. Sympathetic toward her, Wesley really wanted to help her out.“Oh.” His reply was pretty much the same as what Catherine had expected. “Let me explain the sketch to you in detail, Mr. Lyons.” Wesley nodded. Considering that he was not a professional, he had quite a limited understanding of the detailed sketch.Initially, Catherine stood right in front of the office desk while explaining the sketch. However, it was inconvenient as the sketch was upside down from her angle.Wesley pointed to his right side. “Come and stand here.”Upon obtaining his permission, Catherine walked past the desk and got to his right side. She bent over, then stretched out her finger to point to an area. “I was afraid there wouldn’t be enough space to place the bookshelves, so I arranged one more row here…”Wesley gazed at her long and slim fingers which resembled the tips of bamboo shoots. She was

“Stop pretending! You told your neighbor that Fudge is pregnant. When I went to the vet to ask about it, I was told that she’s going to give birth soon. She vomited only because she’s pregnant and not because of the food I prepared.”Catherine became even more pissed as she spoke. She then flew into a fit of rage. “Shaun, do you think it’s fun to trick me by treating me as a fool?”Shaun’s expression turned somber. He was slightly embarrassed.“Catherine, you’d better get this clear. You were the one who wanted to move in before this, and I just fulfilled your wish by offering you the chance to please me.”“So am I supposed to thank you for lying to me…” Catherine gnashed her teeth.“Weren’t you glad to be able to move into this place back then? Moreover, I even saved you twice later. If it hadn’t been for me, do you think you could still be here talking to me in one piece?”Shaun frowned as this woman did not know her place. When she had no money and nowhere to stay back then, h

It had been one hour since Shaun returned home from work yet there were still no signs of Catherine. She did not even care about Fudge anymore. It appeared she was really pushing the limit.“Come on, Fudge. Come shopping for fruits with me.”He carried the cat into his arms.Fudge meowed a couple of times to object. The pregnant cat refused to go out, but he brought her along anyway.There were several stores located by the main entrance of the neighborhood. Shaun walked into a fruit store absent-mindedly. He looked and inspected the fruits for some time but was unsure of what to buy.Why was Catherine not home yet?The lady boss of the fruit store standing by the door was secretly admiring the exceptionally handsome young man.What was going on here? He had been circling the store more times than she could count but had not bought anything. She also noticed he kept throwing glances toward the door. Could it be possible that he was interested in her but was shy to ask her out?

Catherine was finally free.40 minutes later, she appeared at Freya’s place.The latter’s hair was disheveled. She yawned sleepily at the unexpected guest. “Got into an argument again? How many days do you plan on staying here this time?”“It’s serious this time. I’m not going back there again.” Catherine changed into home slippers before entering.“You’re kidding. You sacrificed your marriage and now you’ve changed your mind?”She pursed her pale lips before forcing a bitter smile. “Not every deal guarantees profits. I’ll think of it as a failed investment.”Freya’s jaw dropped to the ground. “Are you serious?”“Yup.” Catherine plopped herself on the couch. She still looked unwell and exhausted. “I’m tired. Really, really tired.”Freya frowned. “Have you caught a cold?”“Yup.” Catherine fought back the tears that were forming in her eyes. “Everyone noticed it apart from him. I also wish to be cared for and looked after. Even if he’s Ethan’s uncle, I can’t possibly earn Rebecc
