“Hey, as our son, don’t you hope that Mommy and I can make peace with each other and provide you with a complete family?” Shaun reminded lazily, ” After all, I’m your dad.”
“Really? I nearly forgot about it.” Lucas snorted. Shaun did not know what to say.
However, he could not blame the kid. It was true that he had not been a competent father.
“Lucas, your words have made me reflect on myself. I realize that I’ve been an incompetent father. Now that I’ve dealt with all my enemies, I have nothing much to do. I’ve decided to be a qualified father during this period.”
Shaun suddenly became serious. “From today onward, I’ll be the one sending you and Suzie to preschool.”
“We have a chauffeur. We don’t need you to send us.” Lucas rejected him.
“The chauffeur isn’t your dad. There’s no use rejecting me. You’re only three years old. It’s my duty to raise you.” Shaun had made up his mind.
Lucas knitted his brows deeply.
50 minutes later.
The car finally entered the Yule family’s villa.
Before the car was parked, Cate rushed out of the villa.
One could tell that she had been anxious the whole night as she did not even tidy her hair.
The night breeze blew through her hair. Under the streetlights, her bright eyes were filled with anxiety until she saw Lucas.
Only then did she gradually begin to calm down. Her eyes even revealed a look of disbelief.
“Mommy… ” Lucas got out of the car. He was still wearing the same black suit, looking cool. He was not injured anywhere. “I’m fine.”
“That’s great.”
Cate walked up to him and squatted down, then she hugged him tightly.
Suzie, who was licking a lollipop, ran out in a daze.
As soon as Lucas spotted her, he blurted out, ” Oops.”
“What’s the matter?” Cate was so nervous that her heart clenched.
“There was a lot of tasty food tonight. They were all Suzie’s favorites. I wanted to bring some home but I forgot, ” Lucas suddenly said.
Cate was speechless.
With a tingling sensation inside her, Suzie frowned slightly. “How tasty was the food?”
After some thought, Lucas replied, “They served the most delicious chocolate cakes in the world and some desserts that were made of the best cream in the world. I found them very yummy. There were also steaks, mud crabs, lobsters, kebabs, and many more kinds of tasty food. The ingredients used were super fresh. Anyway, I’ve never had such delicious food in my life even though I ate the same thing in many restaurants before.”
With that, Suzie’s mouth watered. She was sulky. ” Was the food that yummy? If I had known earlier, I would’ve tagged along. Why didn’t you guys bring me along? It’s unfair that you had all that food for yourself. You guys will be eaten up by the devil.”
Cate was speechless. ” Suzie, as I said, it was very dangerous. Have you forgotten that you nearly lost your life when you were kidnapped previously?”
Suzie went silent, but she still thought that it was a missed opportunity.
Cate was at a loss for words. “Lucas, it’s fine that you ate the food but why did you have to tell her about it?”
Lucas responded honestly, ” I just wanted to let her know that all the things she ate previously are trash compared to the yummy food tonight.”
His words came as a real blow to Suzie. She was so indignant that she broke into tears.
Feeling speechless, Shaun promptly carried her and said, “Don’t cry. The chef who prepared the food tonight was hired from overseas. He should still be around. I can ask him to cook for you tomorrow. “
“Really?” Suzie was extremely touched.
“Yes.” Shaun nodded. “But you can’t eat too much.”
“Mm.” Suzie sniffed. “I’ll just try the food. You’re wonderful! “
Cate was completely at a loss for words.
In truth, she had a lot of questions for Shaun and Lucas who just attended the banquet that was supposed to be a trap. How did Suzie end up in tears because of food?
“Lucas, please take Suzie into the room to rest. I’d like to have a few words with your daddy, ” Cate ordered.
Little did she realize that the phrase ¡®your daddy’ would make Shaun smile so brightly as though his heart was doused in honey.
“Oh, alright. Mommy, quickly come up, okay?” Lucas dragged Suzie away.
Cate turned around, only to find Shaun’s gentle, dark eyes resting on her under the moonlight. His eyes were filled with radiance.
Her scalp immediately became numb. Somehow, she felt that Shaun had changed into a completely different person.
“What on earth happened today?” She was extremely curious. “Wesley, Gavin, and the others “They’ve been arrested.”
Shaun said softly, “From now on, nobody will be able to cause you trouble and harm. Since Wesley has disappeared, your marriage with him is invalid, which means that you’re free from him now.”
Cate’s pink lips parted a little, and a look of confusion washed over her beautiful face.
At times, she had felt that Wesley was impossible to defeat. Whenever she thought that he was in a hopeless situation, he somehow managed to overcome it using terrifying means. “Really?”
“Mm. Gavin and Wesley attempted to rebel tonight. As they previously won over quite a number of political bigwigs, they thought they would surely succeed today. However, they didn’t expect Nathan to have sent the army from Geraldton over…”
“So many people entered the city but Gavin didn’t realize it?” Cate was puzzled.
” It was because I saved Matthew and told Sheryl the truth. Sheryl canceled the transfer of Lyons Corporation’s shares in time and halted Golden Corporation’s overseas development. Gavin was confident only because he had invested in Golden Corporation and got endless funds from Wesley.
After Wesley lost Golden Corporation and Lyons Corporation, he was left with nothing. As such, Gavin no longer had as many funds. Those people in Canberra were swayed because of money. Without money, how could they possibly side with the Mead family?”
Cate finally understood.
She could not help but sigh at how greedy some people in this world were.
At the same time, she was taken aback by Shaun’s plans.
After all, he had lost his memory, had he not? Before this, he was just like a fool. What a rapid change it was.
She stared at him with complicated feelings.”
Wasn’t Wesley aware that Matthew was saved and about the changes that took place in Golden Corporation’s overseas development?”
“It was all settled within a day. When we took action, we deliberately ordered our people not to sound the alarm, so they didn’t have the faintest idea what was going on. Wesley had been under the impression that he was the wealthiest man in Australia who could do anything as he pleased,” Shaun said scornfully.
Cate instantly figured it out. At the same time, she was filled with mixed feelings. “Did you have this planned from earlier on? You previously approached Hannah…”
” I wasn’t the only person who planned this. Prime Minister Snow, Titus, and I planned it together. “
Shaun said, “Nathan’s inferiority made Gavin lower his guard. After Sheryl kicked me out of Lyons Corporation, I pretended to pursue Hannah with the intention of making Wesley and the Meads think that I was in a desperate situation. The whole of Canberra saw me as a laughing stock, which satisfied Hannah’s vanity and Wesley’s desire to trample on me at the same time. The more Wesley felt that I was miserable, the more conceited he became. Once a person becomes conceited, they’ll easily show their cloven hoof and become careless. In fact, if it weren’t for his carelessness, I wouldn’t have been able to save Matthew.”
After pausing for a moment, Shaun could not resist holding Cate’s hands. “I’m sorry, Cate.
Despite knowing that Wesley was forcing you and even hurt your dad before this, I gave you the cold shoulder. I didn’t mean it. I…”
“I understand.” Cate broke free from his hold. “I was also a pawn in your plan. The more frightened I seemed, the more complacent and delighted Wesley would become. He felt as if he was a cat trying to catch a mouse. No doubt, he thought of himself as the winning party, whereas I was the mouse that got fooled.”
Her clever words made Shaun feel guilty.
“Cate, I’m sorry. Considering the seriousness of the issue, I promised Prime Minister Nathan not to breathe a word of it. None of the Snows knew about i t either. Ryan and Rodney just discovered the truth today, and even the prime minister’s wife didn’t learn about it until the last minute.”
Shaun continued with a deep voice, ” It’s because Nathan wanted to make all his betrayers in Canberra surface. He needed to get rid of them completely. In order to prevent the news from spreading, those involved in this matter had to keep it a secret.”
Cate remained quiet for a long time.
She used to think of Nathan as a gentle person, yet it did not hit her how a gentle person could possibly become the prime minister.
