Toward the end of his sentence, his voice sounded a little upset and pitiful as well. He was like a dog who could not have its meat.
Cate grabbed the opportunity and pushed him away. She kept a far distance from him and dared not go near him anymore.
Shaun sat up and clumsily buttoned up with one hand.
Cate did not want to be teased by him anymore, so she just turned around and walked out.
However, when she sat in front of the office table and turned on her laptop, she could not comprehend the contents of a report she was reading.
Shaun’s breath was still on her lips, and it made her feel like she was carrying heavy chains on her back. Nevertheless, it was an undeniable fact that she did not reject Shaun’s kiss.
On the contrary, she would feel extremely uncomfortable whenever Wesley got close to her.
Her heart gradually sank as she continued to think about it.
Not long after, Shaun came out.
Cate acted as if she was working seriously and gave him a cold shoulder.
That was because she realized that once Shaun opened his mouth, she felt as if he had gobbled her down. She would be put in a constantly defensive state.
When a contraceptive pill that she just saw last night was placed in front of her, a pain arose in her heart out of anger. “Shaun, are you planning to come over every day and force me to eat this thing? Did you forget I just ate it last night? Too much is not good for the body.”
Shaun’s arm stiffened. After a long moment, he said with mixed feelings, “Who knows if Wesley will touch you tonight…”
Cate shut her laptop. She was silent for half a minute before she gritted her teeth and said, ” Aren’t you just hoping that I don’t get pregnant with Wesley’s child? You don’t have to give me those contraceptives anymore because I already had his child.”
Shaun’s body trembled. He said with a smile, ” Cate, don’t lie to me.”
“I’m not lying.”
Cate stood up abruptly and said with determination, “Wesley and I have a child who’s a little more than two years old. When Wesley was with me in the US back then, I had that child after we had s*x under the influence of alcohol.”
She could not be tangled up in this weird relationship with Shaun anymore. Although last night made her realize that she might still have some feelings for Shaun, she could no longer do Wesley wrong.
Shaun gazed at her in a daze. Slowly, his handsome face started to turn grim. His hands, which were resting by his thighs, gradually clenched into fists. However, his thin lips were still smiling stubbornly. “Cate, do you think I believe you? You said you have a child. Where is that child?”
“I wanted to seduce you and get revenge on you after I came back, so I didn’t keep that child by my side.”
Cate pressed her lips together with mixed feelings. In fact, she had already thought of that excuse right after she came back from the US. Firstly, that excuse could hide Lucas’s identity naturally. Secondly, it could provoke and hurt Shaun.
After that, she went through a lot of things and gave up on using that excuse. She also gave up on the thought of getting revenge on Shaun.
The reason she used this excuse again now was not to get revenge on him but to make him give up completely.
“I don’t believe it.”
Shaun shook his head. Even if his heart was filled with overwhelming dread and fear, he still stubbornly denied it. “You already have Wesley’s child, yet you came to seduce me and even had s*x with me before. Would Wesley agree to that?”
“He can’t disagree with my plans because the birth of that child was an accident.”
Cate averted her gaze. She did not want to look into his eyes that were about to lose control. ” Initially, I wanted to wait until you had fallen too deeply in love with me, then tell you about the child. It was a kind of revenge on you too. However, I gave up on the thought of getting revenge on you afterward. In fact, you know about this too. The child has been by my side all along, raised at my dad’s place. You can choose not to believe it, but you will after you see the child’s appearance.”
The boy whom Shaun saw at the preschool flashed across his mind all of a sudden.
When Shaun met that boy for the first time, he thought that boy looked very similar to Cate. However, he found out after that the boy seemed to be Joel’s nephew’s child.
Could it be that… the child was actually… Cate’s?
“That child… goes to the same preschool… as Suzie, right?” His throat struggled to say that sentence.
Cate deliberately revealed an astonished expression. “How did you know?”
Boom.
Shaun felt as if his mind had exploded, and his heart broke.
He thought the most agonizing thing was knowing that she got married to another man. Yet, it turned out that she and Wesley had a child who was a little more than two years old.
“No, tell me this isn’t real. You’re lying to me.”
Shaun rushed over like a madman. He grabbed Cate’s shoulders and shook her vigorously. Tears of agony welled up in his eyes. “Even if you gave birth to that child, it must be our child, right? I know now. You must’ve deceived me three years ago. In fact, our children weren’t gone, and that child is mine.”
Cate’s heart trembled at Shaun’s yell.
Seeing the man in front of her cry inexplicably tugged at her heartstrings.
After a long while, she forcefully sneered. “Did you forget that our children are gone because of you? Do you still remember how much blood I lost that day?”
Shaun was stunned.
His arms were trembling, but his body felt as if it was pinned in place.
That was right. What was he saying? His children were gone three years ago.
He lost the opportunity. He did not know how to treasure things back then. That was why she had a child with another man.
Two streams of tears trickled from the corners of his eyes.
In this life, Shaun finally knew what it felt to be brokenhearted and devastated.
He had finally found a sliver of hope, only for her to crush it cruelly again.
Cate witnessed the light in his eyes vanish. She slowly lowered her head as well.
¡®Let it be, Shaun. Please don’t come and look for me anymore. Let’s not cross paths anymore.’
She was afraid that if she kept getting involved in each other’s lives, she would fall into a situation where everyone would despise her.
The current her did not want to hurt Wesley. Therefore… She could only choose to hurt Shaun.
In the end, Shaun left.
He stumbled out of her office. He did not even say goodbye to her.
Cate stood in front of the full-length windows and looked outside absent-mindedly.
Then, Harvey came in. “Chairwoman Cox, President Lyons has left. He looked like a wreck when he was leaving…”
Harvey was very curious as to what Director Cox did to torment Shaun into that state. It was as if Shaun had lost part of his soul.
“Mm, I got it. You can continue with your work,” Cate said dispiritedly.
Shaun drove straight to the entrance of the preschool.
It was lunch break, so the guard did not let him in.
He stood under the scorching sun until Hadley gave him a call. “President Lyons, where are you? Didn’t you say you’re going to visit the Chairman of Garson Corporation at 3:00 p.m.?”
“Hadley, tell me. Three years ago, did you bribe the doctors in the hospital? Cate did not miscarry at all, right?” Shaun’s absent voice rang out.
When Hadley heard Shaun’s words on the other side of the phone, it was as if a bomb went off in his brain.
After quite some time, he stammered, “Eldest Young Master, how… How did you find out?”
Shaun, who was struggling in agony and sadness, went silent.
What did he just hear? Was he hallucinating?
Was the meaning of Hadley’s words the same as what he thought it meant?
Although Shaun had gone through many ups and downs before, he was still dumbfounded at that moment, so much that he even forgot to talk.
