“Grandpa, Granny, please leave me alone. It’s my business. Considering that I’m already an adult, I have to think of ways to make money. I can’t possibly be living off the Lyonss forever.” Shaun planted himself in the seat next to Lucas before picking up a spoon and starting having breakfast.
Everyone exchanged glances, not knowing what to say. After all, his thoughts were not illogical.
After breakfast, Cate handed Shaun the kids’ school bags and reminded him, “Remember to remind the teacher to get Suzie to pee before she naps, lest she wet the bed.”
“Mm.”
Shaun lowered his head to look at Cate, who was a lot shorter than him. As she did not put on any makeup on her face in the morning, her skin was as clear as a shelled boiled egg. Even her eyelashes were bushy without any makeup. He could not help but recall the perfume that Hannah wore yesterday, which was so strong that his nose could barely endure it. Besides, Hannah’s skin was not as good as Cate’s.
He breathed lightly. Afraid of resting his eyes on her any longer, he took over the bags and left straight away.
After Cate returned to her bedroom, she suddenly realized that she was quite bored.
During the journey to preschool. The two kids sat in the rear seat.
Shaun shot a look at the two of them at the back. Ever since he found out that they were his kids, he had not spent much time with them. Before this, he even foolishly addressed them as brother and sister.
Now that Shaun remembered it, he was at his wits’ end.
“Have you forgotten what happened between you and Mommy? Are you planning to break up with Mommy?” Lucas asked out of the blue.
Shaun was stunned. He spotted Lucas’s cool, serious, adult-like face through the rear-view mirror. “This is the adults’ matter.”
“But we’re your children. We have the right to know.” Lucas threw a glance at Suzie. “Am I right?”
“Yeah.” Suzie was biting a doughnut, and her mouth was stained with sugar. “If you don’t want to be with Mommy, make it clear to her. Don’t waste her time.”
“Also, don’t you ever ask Mommy to be with you again. ” Lucas snorted. “You always break up and get together with Mommy. It’s annoying.”
Shaun looked composed. “Don’t you hope that Daddy and Mommy get back together?”
“Since you’ve forgotten Mommy, it means that you don’t like her anymore. You don’t have to take responsibility for her, and I’ll advise Mommy to move out of the Lyons family’s manor. She can’t afford to waste any more time on you,” Lucas said somberly.
Shaun’s temples pulsed, and he pressed them hard. “If she moves out of the manor, you guys won’t be able to see her every day. But if you guys leave with her, can you bear to part with Grandpa and Granny?”
“This is just a small issue. We can stay at each place for a few days, which is quite a good idea. Anyway, Grandpa’s house isn’t very far from Sherman Mountain.” Suzie ate the last doughnut nonchalantly.
Shaun coughed.
These two kids had an exceptionally positive mindset.
When Shaun came out of the preschool after sending the kids there, he received a call from Hannah.
At the sight of the incoming call on his phone, his gaze was indifferent. Nevertheless, he still pressed the answer button calmly in the end.
In the evening.
After dinner, Cate felt idle all of a sudden.
When she had to look after the kids, manage Hudson Corporation, and spend time dating back then, it always felt like she was running out of time. Now that the kids had gone to preschool and she did not need to go to work nor on a date, she appeared to have plenty of spare time.
Just as she was hesitating whether to ask Mireya out for shopping, Mireya gave her a call. “Cate, where are you?”
“In the manor.”
“Where’s Shaun?” Mireya hurriedly asked.
“He has gone out this morning. He probably has something to deal with. ” Cate casually picked up a pear from the table and took a bite of it.
“Bullsh*t.” Mireya raged. “Do you know why he went out?”
Speechless, Cate frowned without saying a word.
“He’s playing golf with Hannah, that b*tch. When I attended a banquet earlier, I met a few young ladies and even joined their group chat. I saw them chatting away in the group today. Someone even took a photo of Hannah and Shaun at the golf course. I’m going to send it to you.”
As Mireya was speaking, she sent Cate the photo.
Upon hearing a ¡®ding’ from her phone, Cate clicked open the photo to take a look.
Dressed in a white sports skirt, Hannah looked graceful and sexy. She was holding a golf club in her hand while Shaun was standing behind with his hands on hers. Their intimate posture made him look like he was hugging her from behind.
One was young and petite, whereas the other was tall and handsome. With the sunlight shining on their hair, they looked like a romantic couple.
Cate continued to rest her eyes on the photo. Looking at Shaun’s exquisite side profile, she felt as if her heart had been bitten by an insect, which left her in pain and breathless.
Mireya was still infuriated. “What the f*ck. I’ve never seen such an ungrateful wretch. Has he forgotten that you were the one who looked after him tirelessly when he was a fool? You’re his girlfriend. You’ve even given birth to his children. You’ve worked so hard assisting the Lyonss, yet he has gone to hit on another woman just because he lost his memory. What’s worse, the person he is hitting on is the shameless Hannah.”
“Mireya, I’ve made it clear to him.”
With a lump in her throat, Cate said, “He has the right to be with another woman. Losing his memory has made him a blank slate, so it’s normal for him to fall for someone else again. I can’t forcibly keep him by my side because of what happened in the past. He doesn’t remember loving me.”
“Normal, my *ss.”
Mireya could not help but insult. “Do you know what they’ve been talking about in the group chat? Someone spotted Shaun and Hannah having lunch together in a mall yesterday, and Shaun was the one who sent her home at night. Now that Lyons Corporation has changed hands and Shaun has been driven out of the company, all the wealthy people in Canberra are saying that he’s trying to fawn on Hannah so that he can soon become Minister Mead’s son-in-law. A lot of people are making fun and looking down on him.”
“It just baffles me why he’s behaving like this. Hannah isn’t a good woman either. What’s more, Lyons Corporation’s current state has to do with Minister Mead. In this case, the Mead family should be the Lyonss’ enemy. Has Shaun no integrity? How has he become like this?”
Cate remained quiet. Her mind was a mess.
She had long since foreseen that Shaun would interact with other women, but she did not expect it to happen so soon. More surprisingly, the woman was Hannah.
However, Cate believed that Shaun did not get close to Hannah purely because he was attracted to her.
Shaun probably had an ulterior motive.
Mireya continued, “Let me tell you that Minister Mead is a schemer. He doesn’t even care about Shaun. At most, Hannah is just fooling Shaun, but don’t you tell him about it. Leave him to the woman. It serves him right.”
“Oh, by the way, as your friend, I sincerely advise you to move out of the Lyons family’s manor. With Shaun’s current antics, other people will laugh at you if you continue staying there.”
Mireya was very indignant at the unfair treatment Cate received.
“Mm. Thank you for reminding me, Mireya. I was originally hesitant about moving back to the Yules’ house,” Cate said with a deep voice, “but it seems that there’s no need to hesitate further.”
“Cate, you should treat yourself better. Besides, you’ve done more than enough for Shaun. You don’t have to put all your eggs in one basket.”
At this point, Mireya wished she could get Cate to distance herself from Shaun as soon as possible so that he would regret his actions.
“Yeah, I understand.”
After the call ended, Cate snuggled on the couch for a while before she rose to her feet and packed her suitcase.
Soon after, she had packed a large suitcase.
When she carried it downstairs, Aunty Yasmine yelled at the sight of the scene, “Cate, why are you carrying such a large suitcase? Are you planning to move out?”
Aunty Yasmine recalled that Cate only carried a small suitcase when she left two days ago. To all appearances, Cate was going to move out rather than going on an outing.
“Yeah, Aunty Yasmine. In fact, I have been contemplating moving out.” Cate smiled at her. “I didn’t move out before this because Shaun’s condition was unstable. Now that he’s getting better and can start a new life, I’m planning on moving back into the Yules’ house.”
Her words sent Aunty Yasmine into a panic. “No way. What’s going to happen to Young Master Lyons and the kids if you leave?”
“I’ve discussed this matter with the kids. They said they could stay with the Yules’ and the Lyonss’ for a few days each. With you and Aunty Lea here, I feel relieved.”
Cate tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled. However, a sense of melancholy slowly surfaced in her eyes. “Aunty Yasmine, Shaun is now a growing child who’ll develop new relationships, so it’s inappropriate for me to stay here. As time passes, other people will gossip about me.”
Aunty Yasmine could not bear to part with her. ” Who will gossip about you? Everyone in the Lyons family treats you like Young Madam Lyons.”
“But I’m not. Shaun and I don’t have a romantic relationship with each other anymore. Aunty Yasmine, please tell Aunty Lea that I’m leaving.”
After that, Cate lugged her suitcase out without looking back.
Anxious, Aunty Yasmine could not help but call Shaun. “Young Master Lyons, Miss Cox has just moved out. She’s going to move back to the Yules’ house.”
