Cate did not say a word. Pain was written all over her beautiful little face.
Shaun carefully peeled oranges on the side. He understood that Charity was a wound for her.
Now, no apology would be useful. The damage was already done, so he could only make up for it.
“Cate, you and I will dig out the truth of that year so that the real culprits can be punished by law.” Shaun peeled a slice of orange and gave it to her.
“I have no appetite, ” Cate said faintly. “I didn’t say all that just to blame you. I blame myself too. If I had been smarter back then, I wouldn’t have let Wesley frame Charity. I even got married to the person who hurt my friend.”
“It’s not your fault. Wesley is too hypocritical. I even used to think of him as a loser.”
Shaun mocked himself while comforting her.
For the next two days, Cate stayed in the hospital.
She did not read the news on her phone, so she did not see the overwhelming insults against her on the Internet.
She could handle it, but Mireya could not.
The criticism made her furious. When she saw Cate, she started cursing the moment she came in the door. “Those people on the Internet don’t know sh*t. They believe all sorts of rumors. I’m infuriated. Wesley is too vicious. The most hateful thing is that the police only locked him up for five days. He got just five days for beating you up like this. Aren’t you mad about it?”
“There’s no helping it. He turned himself in, and he has a good attitude. Besides, the Internet is siding with him too, so the police won’t dare to give him such harsh punishment, ” Cate said coldly.
“Why don’t you make a few statements? Just swear at them like they’re doing to you. Wesley is really amazing. He’s been on the trending search for a few days, and the heat hasn’t died down at all.” Mireya’s heart ached as she said, “You’re just like how I was back then. You’ll be pelted with eggs if you walk outside.”
“It’s not like I’ve never been scolded before. When I was abducted by Shaun back then, I was pointed at wherever I went. I’m used to it.”
Cate said indifferently, “The only difference is being scolded fiercely and scolded even more fiercely.”
“But your company’s stock has been dropping… ” Mireya looked worried.
“That’s even less important. I’m the only shareholder of the company anyway. So even if the stocks fall, it’s just my money.” Cate was calm.
Mireya really wanted to give her a big thumbs up in admiration.
That mentality was simply unbeatable.
“By the way, how’s your pregnancy?” Cate asked in concern.
“It’s fine. I’ve just been vomiting a lot recently and don’t have a good appetite.” Mireya leaned into Cate’s ear and glanced at Shaun who was cooking in the kitchen. “How are things going with you two? Are you getting back together? Also, does he know how to cook? Will he burn your kitchen down?”
Cate’s expression grew complicated.
She did not know how to describe her situation with Shaun either. These days, he has been taking care of her from morning till night instead of going to the company.
He even washed her clothes and cooked her meals.
Although it could not be considered delicious, she could tell that he was attentive, and it did not taste a s bad as before.
However, getting back together with Shaun?
She still could not act as if nothing had happened in the past.
Mireya rubbed her chin and said meaningfully, “I feel like with how much Shaun is clinging to you, you won’t be able to pry him off for the rest of your life…”
Cate was speechless.
“Why don’t you just let him?” Mireya sighed. “Stop fighting it. The more you struggle, the harder he clings onto you.”
“Sis, I’m married now, okay?”
Frustrated, Cate reminded her. “What if you were me? In my first marriage, my husband was taken away by another woman, and I was treated like a mental patient. In my second marriage, I married a devil and sc*mbag who beat my face into this state. Do you think I still have expectations for feelings and marriage? I’m almost traumatized.”
“That’s true, my poor baby.” Mireya quickly reached out and hugged her in distress. “We won’t get married. We won’t find a partner. We’ll just raise our three darlings with each other in the future.”
Shaun, who was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, saw the two women hugging each other, and his handsome face turned black.
He knew they were good friends, but he still could not stand that scene.
“Let her go.” He could not resist coming out to warn Mireya.
“Why?” Mireya raised her chin in anger. “We’re both women who have been wounded by love. In the end, we’ve realized that men are unreliable. Only women can be relied on. Cate said she wants to be with me in the future. Besides, we already have children, so we don’t need a man’s sperm to carry on the family name.”
“You’re crazy.” Shaun gritted his teeth. “If you want to find a woman, find someone else. Don’t pester her.”
Mireya snorted. “You’ re overthinking. The person who has been hurt most by men is Cate. She has a trauma of men. From now on, the only person she’ll like is a woman like me.” Cate was speechless.
It was just a casual remark, yet Mireya was able to spin such a story. Cate was really impressed.
“Okay. Visiting hours are over. You can leave now. ” Shaun grabbed Mireya and dragged her to the door.
“Shaun Lyons, let go of me. How dare you lay your hands on a pregnant woman? Cate won’t forgive you…”
With a ¡®barn ¡®, Shaun shut the door in Mireya’s face.
“Why did you do that to my friend?” Cate snapped at him.
“She has wild desires for you. I did it to put a stop t o such thoughts of hers.”
Shaun said seriously, “Cate, men are still better than women. At least, men have more strength than women. If a light bulb in the house breaks, I can change it. If the toilet is blocked, I can clear it…”
“I can… call for a handyman to help with all that” Cate was speechless.
Shaun raised his brows. “When you’re in a bad mood, I’ll allow you to scold me and beat me however you like. When you’re tired from shopping, I can help you carry your stuff. I can also teach the children, protect them, and be a good father to them. These can’t be replaced by others.”
“Enough.” Cate’s head began to hurt from his words. “I’m not divorced yet, and I don’t want to think about these things. Even if I do get divorced, I will stay single for a few years. I’m really fed up with you men. I want to live quietly and freely by myself.”
“A few years?” Shaun’s handsome face collapsed.
“Yes, a few years. Do you have a problem with that?” Cate raised her eyebrows at him.
“Nope. Whatever you say, goes. It’s just a few years. I’ll definitely be cured by then. ” Shaun comforted himself and went back to the kitchen to cook.
Mireya rubbed her chin and said meaningfully, “I feel like with how much Shaun is clinging to you, you won’t be able to pry him off for the rest of your life…”
Cate was speechless.
“Why don’t you just let him?” Mireya sighed. “Stop fighting it. The more you struggle, the harder he clings onto you.”
