“Will she believe you?” Titus snorted. ” She doesn’t trust me at all now. She might think that I’m making it up. She has been under the impression that I’m trying to kill her so that I can marry Cate.”
“Alas, Madam is really…” Warren sighed. “I wonder how long it’ll take her to recover.”
“I heard it’ll take approximately half a year for her to fully recover.” Titus rubbed his forehead. ” I think the doctors here aren’t as good as the ones we have. I’m planning to bring her back to Neah Bay.”
“That’s good. By keeping Madam by your side here, you’re creating a time bomb for yourself. If she learns that Rosabella has passed, things will be troublesome, ” Warren said, “By the way, I found out that Jeffery and Sally’s names have always been on Rosabella’s birth certificate. According to the law in Australia, Jeffery can inherit the shares that Rosabella owned since she has passed. Jeffery and Sally have arrived in Canberra, and Lyons Corporation will be holding a general meeting tomorrow. I’ m guessing they’re going to announce Jeffery as the new chairman.”
A look of disgust washed over Titus’ face. “He can’t even handle a renovation company properly. How dare he think of being the chairman of the best company in Australia? Dream on!”
“Exactly. It’s as if any Tom, Dick, and Harry can be the chairman. At the end of the day, he’s spending Madam’s money. Indeed, Jeffery’s family is extremely shameless. If our people were here, I would’ve had them deal with Jeffery and Sally long ago,” Warren said indignantly.
At the mention of this matter, Titus furrowed his eyebrows deeply.
In fact, he had long since asked his subordinates from Neah Bay to come over. Nevertheless, they were stuck processing their visa in the embassy. Hence, they could not board the plane.
After some investigation, Titus discovered that the Meads’ relatives were in charge of the embassy. It meant that they were the ones causing trouble for his subordinates.
“Has there been any progress after I personally gave Nathan a call?” Titus asked coldly.
“Prime Minister Snow has just started to take over the local matters and assigned Gavin to take charge of the foreign affairs. It’s all Gavin’s people in the embassy. Prime Minister Snow has criticized Gavin, but Gavin insists that our people are suspicious, so he’s not allowing them to enter Australia.”
“Well done, Gavin.” Titus began to laugh grimly. “I never thought that I would one day be controlled by the buffoons. I might not be able to tackle Wesley in this country, but my people are all overseas. Go contact those people out there and ask them to stop all of Wesley’s international business deals at all costs. Also, since the Meads have been behaving quite haughtily abroad, don’t let them come back as well.”
Warren reminded under his breath, “But… Young Master Costner is with them. What if…”
“Don’t worry. They’ll keep Matthew alive as a means of protecting themselves. At most, they’ll chop off a few of Matthew’s fingers and send them to me.” Titus was emotionless. “It’s just a few fingers. Anyway, it was Matthew who started it.
How stupid of him to get caught. It serves him right.”
Warren was speechless.
All he could do was sympathize with Matthew silently.
“By the way, we’ll be attending Lyons Corporation’s general meeting tomorrow to have a look. Rosabella spent Sheryl’s money on the company, yet the Cox family is planning on occupying it. They should dream on!” Titus’ dark eyes were full of annoyance.
“Uncle Titus… Okay… I’m relieved to know that you’ll be around.”
In front of the French window, Cate hung up the call with a smile.
In truth, she was not confident about the general meeting tomorrow. Now that Titus had said that he would show up, Cate felt as though the weight in her mind had finally become much lighter.
“Get out… I don’t need you to teach me…”
“Fine. I’ll get out. Given your attitude, I won’t even come again even if you beg me tomorrow.”
All of a sudden, a commotion rang out in the corridor outside.
Frowning, Cate walked toward the door and opened it, only to see the teacher that she hired stomp out the door in a fit of fury.
There were a few books scattered on the floor of the corridor on the second floor.
Shaun stood beside the books. As soon as he saw the teacher leave, he glowered sideways at her with his dark eyes that carried traces of grievance and rage.
He then entered the study and even swung the door shut heavily.
“You rascal, open the door! How could you treat your teacher that way? Are you learning for our sake? It’s for your own good. Do you want to be illiterate forever? Even Suzie and Lucas know more than you.” Shaun’s attitude made Brennan’s blood boil.
“No, I just don’t want to learn. Since nobody likes me, I don’t mind being illiterate forever. ” Shaun’s sulky voice rang out from the study.
“Nobody dislikes you. It’s precisely because we like you that we’re making you learn. We hope that you’ll turn into a better person.” Brennan’s head hurt. A 50-year-old man like him had no experience nurturing children, yet he had to try to be a loving father to Shaun who was being extremely rebellious.
“Cate dislikes me. I don’t want to learn. I don’ t need you guys to like me. I just want her to like me,” Shaun said in a self-righteous manner from inside the study.
An embarrassed look washed over Brennan’s face. ” Who said she dislikes you? It’s just that she’s not teaching you. She’s not a teacher, and what’s more, she’s not good at teaching. Also, she has her own life. What gives you the right to force her to accompany you all the time? If you continue acting unreasonably, she might really dislike you.”
The study grew silent all of a sudden.
Shaun did not speak. However, he refused to open the door no matter how Brennan persuaded him.
“Uncle Brennan, you may go downstairs and rest. Let me deal with him. ” Cate had no choice but to walk up to him.
“Cate, don’t let him act as he pleases. After all, he’s a man. He can figure out certain things himself. ” Brennan let out a sigh. “We don’ t wish for him to become your burden.”
“I’ll talk to him.” Cate felt as though something was weighing on her heart and it made her upset. “Perhaps I was too impatient.”
Brennan shook his head helplessly before he turned to head downstairs.
“Shaun, please open the door.” Cate knocked on the door gently. “If you don’t open it, I’m going to move out.”
The study remained quiet, and Cate pretended to walk down the stairs.
Just then, the door of the study was opened forcefully. Shaun rushed out and stared anxiously at her with reddened eyes. “You can’t leave. If you leave, I won’t want to stay here anymore.”
“This is your house, ” Cate whispered, “This isn’t my house.”
Cate had been staying here all because of Shaun.
Without a second thought, Shaun answered, ” Wherever you go, I’ll follow.”
Cate asked, “… Why?”
“Why?” Shaun scratched the back of his head in a daze. With a pout, he replied, ” I don’t know. I just don’t want to leave you.”
Cate did not know whether to laugh or cry. Should she feel happy or sad about it?
“Shaun, let’s have a talk.” She walked up to him again.
When Shaun gazed at her pretty face, he felt aggrieved. He snorted and turned around to enter the study.
Cate closed the door.
Her eyes swept over the messy floor of the study. He must have thrown a tantrum during the lesson.
Shaun gritted his teeth. As he fought back his tears, he suddenly stretched out his hands to hug her. ” Cate, I know it was my fault. I shouldn’t have called you a pervert last night. Are you still mad about it? I promise that I won’t make such a remark about you anymore. Please don’t leave me.”
Pulled into his arms so abruptly, Cate was startled.
Only when his hot tears fell on her neck did she start regretting it.
She had forgotten that he only had the mental capacity of a two-year-old despite his sturdy figure, ability to play basketball, and other brilliant skills.
No matter how unhappy and lost she was, she should not have placed the burden on him.
” Shaunny, I’m not mad about what happened last night. I’m just… afraid that you’ll slowly grow up and leave me,” Cate said gently, “When you woke up, you called me ¡®Aunt’ at first glance. As I told you earlier, I don’t want to be your aunt. I want to be your lover, woman, and girlfriend.”
“No problem. You can be my lover and girlfriend.”
Shaun tightened his arms around her sulkily.
“But do you know what it means for me to be your lover and girlfriend?” Cate asked as she pushed him away softly.
Shaun’s dark gaze instantly became confused.
Cate looked at him and smiled. “Look, you don’t even know things like this because you know too little. Shaunny, I hired teachers to teach you vocabulary and English because I hope that you’ll grow up as soon as possible. Then, you’ll be able to earn money, protect me, and take care of me.
That’s when you can talk about love and relationships.”
Shaun was bewildered, but he was aware of his own ignorance. Indeed, he knew too little. Maybe he… should really buckle down and study hard.
“Shaunny… As I said, this is your house and not mine. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be staying here. Do you understand?” Cate lifted her head and cupped his face. “Do you know what the outside world is like?”
“… I don’t.” Shaun admitted candidly, feeling a little discouraged. “Am I very useless?”
