“Yeah, Mommy is really sad. She even said she wants to divorce Wesley…”
“Suzie, that’s enough.” Lucas quickly ended the call.
Suzie glared at him angrily. “What was that for?”
“Don’t tell him what Mommy said, or he’ll think that his opportunity has come. Mommy is still married, so it’s not good for her to have contact with him.”
Lucas said seriously, “Besides, I don’t want Mommy to get out of the frying pan that is Wesley only to jump back into the same fire again.”
“That… makes sense.”
Just as Suzie finished speaking, Shaun called again in a hurry. “Suzie, you said that your mommy wants to divorce Wesley. Is that true?”
“Scummy dad, don’t ask any more questions. I’m going to accompany Mommy now. Her face must hurt a lot now.”
Suzie mercilessly hung up the phone again.
Shaun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a while, his eyes cold with anger.
How dare Wesley hit her? Damn it! He had to teach Wesley a lesson.
However, what he was more worried about now was Cate.
He immediately asked Chester to get the best ointment and headed to the Yule villa.
When he reached the door, he called Cate. ” Come out. I brought you some ointment. Chester said that this ointment is very useful. You’ll get better after using it for a day or two.”
Cate very quickly understood what had happened. Suzie must have snitched. She started to have a headache and said, “I already put on ointment. I don’t need you to care about me.”
“Yours isn’t as good as mine, ” Shaun said firmly.
Cate was speechless. “How would you know mine isn’t as good? Is Chester’s medicine the most effective in the world? Shaun Lyons, I’m begging you to keep a distance from me. Every time I provoke you, nothing good happens to me.”
“Did Wesley hit you because he found out what happened between us in the Mead residence’s washroom?” Shaun suddenly gritted his teeth and asked.
Cate was stunned. She did not expect him to know that Wesley had hit her.
Did he guess it or did Suzie eavesdrop at the door earlier?
“Stop making wild guesses. It has nothing to do with you…”
“Stop lying to me. I went to Hudson yesterday to look for you but Harvey said you didn’t come to work. You didn’t show up because you were beaten by him the night before, right?”
The more Shaun guessed, the more he blamed himself and the more angry he became. “That son of a b*tch, Wesley! I’ll never forgive him. I’ll go teach him a lesson now.”
“Shaun Lyons, you’ re insane!” Cate hurriedly scolded him.
“No, I’m not insane. I’m a piece of trash who let the woman I like get hurt by others. I’ll leave the ointment at your door. I’ll head out first.”
Shaun put the ointment aside and slammed the car door.
Cate hurriedly ran to the window and saw that he was really driving away. She cursed in her heart, quickly taking her car key to drive over and catch up to him.
Shaun drove very fast but she stopped him at the foot of the mountain, forcing him to slam on the emergency brake. She immediately ran out of the car.
She came out in a hurry and was still wearing her spaghetti strap pajamas. She was not wearing a mask, so the swollen half of her face was exposed to the moonlight. Shaun’s heart almost broke from the pain.
“That b*stard! How dare Wesley hit you so hard?” Shaun’s eyes were filled with a brutal look.
“Don’t go to Wesley.” Cate looked at him pleadingly. “Besides, this isn’t completely his fault. Any man would have gotten angry.”
Shaun felt deeply chagrined and guilty. ” I’m sorry, Cate. It’s all my fault. You must be in a lot of pain.”
As he spoke, he fiercely slapped himself on the face, leaving a palm print on his handsome face. The corner of his lips split as well.
Cate was shocked. “Did you… have to hit yourself that hard?”
An average man would just do it for show.
“I just want to feel your pain.” Shaun raised his hand and could not help but touch her face gently.
Cate looked at his deep and distressed eyes. She unnaturally took a few steps back.
However, Shaun did not give up.
Instead, he hugged her, tightly holding her delicate body in his arms.
The evening breeze blew her silk nightgown. “Cate, divorce him. Wesley doesn’t deserve you.”
Cate was stunned for a moment before returning to her senses. She pushed him away. “Let me go. If people see us alone in the middle of the night, I won’t be able to wash my name clean even if I jump into the river. Do you want me to get beaten again?”
Shaun’s heart ached when he heard her words and he let go of her.
Although he wanted to hold her like this forever, he was even more afraid that she would get hurt because of him.
” Shaun, even if I divorce him one day, it won’t be because of you. Don’t flatter yourself. ” Cate cooled her expression and deliberately said in a harsh tone.
“Cate, you know best if I’m flattering myself or not. ” Shaun looked at her and smiled. ” If it were another man, would you have helped him like you helped me that night?”
At the thought of what had happened that night, Cate blushed in shame.
She glared at him fiercely. “I did it because of Suzie and Lucas. I don’t want them to lose their father. “
“Yes, I understand. Thank you, mother of my children.” Shaun looked at her with a burning gaze a s though he wanted to set her on fire.
Cate could not stay any longer and turned back to his car. ” I can’t be bothered with you. I’m going back to sleep. Don’t cause trouble for Wesley, or I really won’t be able to clear my name anymore.”
“It can’t be cleared anyway.” Shaun grinned.
“Shut your mouth.” Cate could not stop herself from yelling.
However, as soon as her facial muscles were pulled, she felt a burning pain on her face and hissed.
Shaun panicked. He had left the ointment at the Yule villa’s door. This was the first time he was encountering such a situation, so he did not know what to do. He could only act like he was coaxing Suzie. “Does it hurt? I’ll blow it for you.”
He leaned over and gently blew on her face.
Cate was speechless. He really was treating her like a child. “That’s enough, stop blowing. Just don’t make me angry.”
“When did I make you angry? I’m telling the truth. You don’ t have to persuade me about Wesley. He hurt my beloved woman. If I give up, what kind of man would I be?”
Hearing this, Cate glanced at his lower body and said with a vague smile, “Are you sure you’re still a man? Don’t pretend I haven’t seen it before. “
Shaun’s handsome face suddenly darkened when he was severely humiliated by her. What was more embarrassing to be humiliated by his beloved woman? “This is only temporary. I’m already in the middle of treatment. I’ll let you witness my true ability soon.”
“Hoodlum.” Cate rolled her eyes at him. “You started it.”
Shaun’s expression was innocent. “Cate, you don’t want me to go to Wesley because you want to protect me, right? I’m powerless and pitiful now. Anyone is able to step on me, so you’re afraid that Wesley will retaliate against me.”
“You’re delusional, Shaun. I don’t want you to go to my husband and make my marriage more complicated,” Cate snapped at him and refuted.
“I don’t believe you.” Shaun’s gaze fell on her chest. ” I can see that you were really anxious when you rushed down to chase after me.”
Cate froze and looked down at herself. She realized that in her haste, she had not worn underwear when she came out.
Her face turned red again.
She ignored him and got into the car before swiftly driving away.
After the car drove some distance away, she glanced through the rear-view mirror and saw the figure standing in the night. Her heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
She then remembered Nathan’s sudden death.
