Wesley drove the car.
Seated in the passenger seat, Cate took out a box from her handbag, and inside the box was a blue Patek Philippe SA mechanical watch.
“It must have cost you a lot.” Wesley said painfully, “Don’t spend so much on me next time. I should be the one spending it on you instead.”
“It doesn’t matter. I think this is my first time getting you a gift.” Cate took out the watch and put it on for him. It looked gorgeous and luxurious.
However, when her eyes settled on his wrist, Shaun’s wrists flashed in her mind.
Shaun’s wrists looked really beautiful. He never wore branded watches, but his watches were all designed by the top watchmaker. They might not be fascinating, but they were elegant.
Anyway… Why did she think about that damn man again?
She sighed in frustration before she complimented, “It suits you very well.”
“Thanks. I love it.” Wesley held her hand and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Cate. I said those things on the spur of the moment. All I cared about was my feelings but neglected the fact that you’re Suzie’s mom. Anyway, I’ll support your decision even though I hate Shaun.”
“Wesley, don’t say that. You’ve suffered a lot because of my selfishness. ” Cate apologized to him too.
“Alright. Let’s… make peace and not argue anymore.” Wesley smiled wryly.
Cate pursed her lips. After the car traveled for some distance, she could not help but ask, “I didn’t expect you to attend the auction tonight. Was it because the Campos family has pulled some strings with you? I recall you seemed to be on good terms with Charlie back then. You also attended his wedding.”
“We’re just business partners.” Wesley said frankly, “A lot of Australians dare not offend the Campos family now, so I can’t afford to set myself against them too. I don’t agree with the price that Mason set tonight too, but I had no choice. You won’t… blame me, right?”
“No. I can understand that.”
Cate shook her head and did not blame Wesley. However, it occurred to her that Wesley was not an obstinate person. If it were Shaun…
Why did she think of Shaun again?
Cate opened the window. Unlike Shaun, who was born into a brilliant and wealthy family, Wesley had to be cautious in every step he took. The two of them could not be compared.
After they arrived at the Yule family’s villa, Wesley parked the car and got out of it. “I’ll stay here tonight.”
His firm tone startled Cate for a moment. Then, she said with a low voice, “I’ll get the guest room ready for you.”
In the guest room, she habitually removed the bedspread.
Suddenly, a man’s burning body wrapped around her from behind.
Knowing who it was, Cate shuddered, but Wesley did not stop there. Instead, he pressed her onto the bed.
“Cate, can you sleep here tonight?” Wesley looked at her with burning eyes. “We’re already married, and I’ve been waiting for a very long time.”
Cate’s mind was in a mess, especially when Wesley kissed her. She felt very uncomfortable with it.
“Mommy…”
Suzie’s voice came from the door.
Cate took the opportunity and snuck out from under Wesley’s arms. “I… I have to bathe Suzie. You should sleep earlier.”
Looking at Cate’s silhouette, which was leaving in a hurry, Wesley’s eyes darkened.
He was not a fool. He could sense the rejection of Cate’s body toward his touch.
She repulsed him so much, yet she could willingly accept Shaun.
¡®Cate, you were lying when you said you no longer have feelings for Shaun.’
In the bathroom, Cate’s mind wandered as she bathed Suzie.
She did not expect her body to be so repulsive of Wesley.
What should she do? She was already his wife, and some responsibilities could not be evaded.
“Mom, were you planning to have a baby with Uncle Wesley just now?” Suzie’s words were shocking.
Cate pinched her cheeks with a flushed face. “What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you all these things?”
“Uncle Liam told me to never kiss or touch the boys at preschool. Babies pop out that way, ” Suzie said confidently.
This made Cate embarrassed. Why did Liam tell Suzie those things?
However, when she thought of Liam’s disappearance, she became worried and sad.
“Mom, I don’t like you doing that with Uncle Wesley, ” Suzie said with a frown. “I like you sleeping with me.”
“Okay, Mommy will accompany you.” Cate’s brows moved. “Suzie, Uncle Wesley will be staying here from now on. If you see that situation in the future, you must remember to call me over.”
“Oh.” Suzie looked as if she understood Cate’s words. “Mommy, you won’t kiss and hug Uncle Wesley too, right?”
“Don’t meddle in the grown-ups’ affairs.”
Cate sighed. She did not want to use Suzie either, but she would do it as long as it counts.
Maybe it was because she had just slept with Shaun, and now she had to sleep with Wesley. After all, she was a conservative person. She was not able to open herself up yet.
After dressing Suzie, she went to the bathroom to wash Suzie’s clothes.
Once she was done and came out, she saw Suzie sitting on the bed, holding Cate’s phone and chatting with someone.
“Susan Cox, did you take my phone and dialed 000 again?” Cate shouted nervously.
“No, Uncle Shaun called, and I picked up. ” Suzie passed the phone to her.
Cate took the phone and went to the balcony. When she lifted the phone to her ear, there was no sound from the other side of the phone.
She almost thought the person had hung up. She took a look at her phone and noticed that the call was still connected. “Shaun, I heard you got hurt. In that case, let Suzie stay with me temporarily.”
“Suzie can’t keep staying with you, ” Shaun said dryly. “Did Suzie… ask about her dad?”
Cate was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized the ¡®Dad’ Shaun was referring to was Liam. “Of course she did. She asks every single day. I told her the truth that Liam was temporarily missing. She cried pretty sadly.”
“How could you… be so straightforward about it with Suzie?” Shaun was anxious. “You… You didn’t tell her that Liam went missing only after I beat him up, right?”
“Are you afraid Suzie will hate you?” Cate sneered.
After a moment of silence, Shaun said, “No matter what, I’m largely responsible for Liam’s disappearance. From now on, I’ll treat Suzie like my own daughter. I won’t remarry or have kids. She’ll be my only daughter.”
Shaun had thought it through. He did not know if he could be cured or not anyway, so he could not possibly find other women too. As such, he would just raise Liam’s daughter from now on.
Firstly, it was to compensate Liam.
Secondly, he liked Suzie a lot too. Since Suzie had lost both her parents, he was willing to take up the responsibility of being her father, even though she was not his biological daughter.
Cate was stunned to hear him.
Hearing those words coming out from Shaun’s mouth was quite… unbelievable.
She knew that no matter whether it was toward her or Sarah in the past, Shaun was the type who would cling on and refuse to let go. His obsession with love was slightly abnormal too.
Hence, it was very astonishing to hear him say he would not remarry or have children all of a sudden.
Even if Lyons Corporation was done for, he did not need to be so discouraged and down.
He was a bit different from the Shaun she knew.
“Let’s discuss this only after you’ve solved the lawsuit,” Cate muttered.
“Cate…” Shaun suddenly called her name softly.
