Upon hearing that, Shaun glanced at her with a flirty smile.
Cate rolled her eyes at him.
Mireya hmphed. “You can’t possibly be taking a nap with Shaun, right?”
“No, you’re overthinking…” Cate denied it embarrassingly.
Mireya said, ” It’s impossible. I called you because I saw Shaun’s Facebook post. Are you guys openly getting back together?”
Cate was puzzled. “What Facebook post? I didn’t see it.”
“You didn’t know? Ah, what Shaun posted on Facebook was too cheesy. Something about loving you very much.” Mireya chuckled and said, ” Congratulations, you’re stuck with that unworthy man again.”
Shaun, the unworthy man, frowned in dissatisfaction. Just as he wanted to say something, Cate covered his mouth.
“Okay, I’ll have a look at it later…”
“Speaking of it…” Mireya suddenly lowered her voice when she pried, “You’re so soft-hearted. Since Shaun is impotent, why did you get back together with him?”
Cate regretted a little for blocking Shaun’s mouth just now.
At that moment, Shaun was quiet too. He simply looked at Cate in silence and waited for her to reply.
Cate said stiffly, “I’m not a person who cares a lot about that kind of stuff.”
“But he can’t be completely impotent, right? Why don’t… I give you some good stuff? Hehe. ” Mireya chuckled ambiguously.
“I can’t be bothered with you.” Cate could not listen anymore, so she hung up straight away.
After that, the atmosphere was still quiet and eerie. Shaun kept his eyelashes downcast and did not say a word. He looked as if he received a heavy blow.
Cate stroked her hair unnaturally. “Don’t take Mireya’s words to heart. Actually… That, just now, was still okay.”
She really wanted to kill Mireya at that moment. She did not know how many times in her entire life Mireya’s words had put her in trouble.
“What was still okay?” Shaun raised his head. His eyes shone with a bright smile.
Only then did Cate realize she was tricked. She glared at him, turned around, and got down from the bed. “I’m not talking to you anymore.”
“Don’t.” Shaun wrapped his hand around her waist in a hurry. He sounded slightly down. “Actually, what Mireya said isn’t wrong. Cate, if I can’t recover, will you leave me?”
Cate put on a straight face. ” Shaun, whether I’ll leave you or not has nothing to do with this matter. If I really cared about it, I wouldn’t have made up with you from the start. None of us knows what will happen in the future, just like in the past. Although you whispered countless sweet nothings, we still separated in the end. I’ve gone through too much, so I don’t believe in the future. I only care about the present.”
Having heard that, Shaun remained silent for a full half a minute. “I understand. To put it simply, I still haven’t given you enough sense of security. It’s okay. I have a whole lifetime of chances to prove it.”
After a moment of hesitation, he leaned into her ears and said, “But… I’ll still make myself recover a s soon as possible. I feel like… This matter is rather important to you.”
Cate turned around with her face burning.
Sooner or later, she would be driven insane by that man.
“Cate, Sarah’s and my lawsuit will reconvene tomorrow. Come and watch it this time, okay?” Shaun said with a smile.
“I’m busy. I don’t have time.”
“Just come. It’s my first lawsuit after we made up. Don’t you want to see Sarah’s exasperated look when she loses the lawsuit? Moreover, I look the most handsome when I’m in court.” Shaun kept bugging and coaxing her.
Cate eventually agreed because of his pestering.
On the second day, when Mireya heard Cate saying that she was going to watch Shaun in court, Mireya was unconvinced. “Didn’t Sarah have the advantage in the last hearing? Shaun may lose this time. Are you going so that you can be ready to console him anytime?”
“No, he’ll definitely win this time.” Cate was utterly speechless with Mireya’s jinxes.
“Tsk tsk, you haven’t even remarried, yet you already trust him fully.”
“No. There’s a reason for it, but I can’t tell you now.” Cate did not dare to reveal too much.
“Really?” Mireya got excited. “Then I want to go too. I want to go and see Sarah’s face collapse in despair when she loses 1oo billion dollars. Haha.”
“Okay. You’re pregnant, so you shouldn’t drive. I’ll pick you up.” Cate knew Mireya hated Sarah all along, so she agreed.
However, when Cate drove to Brighton Gardens half an hour later, Mireya was still not down even after more than lo minutes. As such, she gave Mireya a call. ” Eldest Young Lady Lynch, how long will it take for you to come down?”
“Don’t be hasty. I’m still curling my hair.”
Cate was speechless. “Sister, we’re going to a court to witness a trial. We’re not attending a banquet.”
“I know. ” Mireya said, ” I’m just worried Rodney will be there too. Think about it. Sarah is the woman he loves the most, so I must dress up nicely. I can’t become a plain, unattractive woman whom he looks down on just because I’m pregnant.”
“You’re overthinking. Rodney is still in the hospital.”
“That’s not for sure. His obsession with Sarah is especially deep. Alright, let’s not talk anymore. I’m hanging up.”
“Hurry up…”
The call ended before Cate could finish her sentence.
After waiting for another 1o minutes, Mireya finally appeared. However, her dress-up was indeed very thoughtful. Her thick, long hair rested on her back. Her petite face that looked mixed-race seemed like there was no powder on it, making her look clean, natural, and fresh. There was tomato-red lipstick applied on her lips. She exuded a youthful feeling without makeup and just a little lipstick.
As for her clothing, Mireya wore a denim dress with a brown leather belt on her waist, exposing her pretty, fair, and slender legs. She had a white bag from Burberry’s new collection of that season.
When she walked out of the neighborhood, there were continuously guys who looked back to eye her. A young man even bumped into a tree because he was too fixated on staring at Mireya.
Cate watched that scene in silence until Mireya opened the car door and got in.
“You don’t look like you’re three months pregnant at all, ” Cate said.
“My stomach isn’t very big yet. If it gets bigger, it won’t be too easy for me to look pretty.” After Mireya let out a worried sigh, she ran her fingers through her hair. “How do I look? I’m pretty, right?”
Cate was speechless.
“Are you speechless because of my beauty?” Mireya battered her eyes playfully.
“Wait a minute, sister. Are you dressing up so nicely just to make Rodney regret it? But you don’t even like Rodney. Don’t make yourself look as if you want him to regret dumping you, okay?”
Cate complained.
“You don’t understand. His attitude toward me was worse than dumping me,” Mireya said furiously. ” Whenever I think of that idiot forcing me to get an abortion because of a few drops of Sarah’s tears, I get so mad. I don’t mind losing to you, but I’m just not satisfied losing to Sarah, that evil witch.”
“Then why did you act as if you didn’t care at all when the Snow family asked for your opinion?” Cate could not resist asking.
“I’m not a fool. The Snow family is willing to stand on my side because they know I’m the victim. The Snow family treats me well, but that doesn’t mean I’m as important as Rodney. At the end of the day, I’m not a member of the Snow family. They want to let Rodney return, but for one, they have already released a public statement, so they can’t bring down their pride. Secondly, they are worried that I’ll be uncomfortable. However, if I were to oppose letting Rodney return at that time, the Snow family would surely be skeptical of me. That’s why I can’t make a decision.”
Cate gave her an approving glance. “You’re smarter now.”
“Of course… ” After Mireya said that, her expression suddenly darkened. “When wasn’t I smart?”
“I used to think you were quite dim, ” Cate said honestly. “But let me remind you. Don’t put on makeup too often when you’re pregnant.”
“Don’t worry. I developed these myself.” Mireya took a small bag and handed it over to Cate. ” It’s not launched on the markets yet. You’re the only one who has this in the whole of Australia. It’s called manipulative cosmetics. It’ll allow you to have unrivaled beauty, yet men will think you have no makeup on.”
“Really?” Cate widened her eyes. Everyone wanted to look pretty, and Cate was no exception either.
“Look at my makeup today. Does it seem natural?” Mireya raised her eyebrows.
Cate immediately opened the small bag and started studying Mireya’s cosmetics.
She forgot that she was supposed to go to court until Shaun gave her a call. “Cate, are you here yet? The trial will start in 10 minutes.”
Cate, who was in the midst of putting on makeup, was stunned.
“You can’t possibly have… forgotten about it, right?” Shaun gritted his teeth.
