It just showed that he was a manipulative and vicious person.
He left his family in a state of panic and fear. Even Mireya was totally unaware of it. When others were helpless and frustrated, he took advantage of it to deal with his opponents.
“Cate, I promise you that such an issue won’t happen again.”
Shaun’s eyes were filled with tenderness and guilt.” I know it was unfair to you, but I was left with no choice. If Gavin had taken control of Australia, Wesley would become more powerful. I wanted to keep you out of trouble, so I had to completely destroy those who mean to harm you. I want you and the kids to be able to go out freely so you guys don’t have to keep hiding and think about fleeing Australia. This is your home, after all.”
His eyes appeared calm under the moonlight.
“Additionally, I want you to know that I’m no longer the previously useless Shaun who couldn’t even look after his wife and kids. I was so stupid that I was deceived and even lost my memory. Now, I’ve become more brilliant than before.”
Cate gazed at Shaun with a complex look as her eyelashes fluttered.
The man in front of her was as handsome as ever, but he had become more hostile compared to before.
Her mind was in a messy state right now.
“Shaun, I remember that you previously told me—“
“You told me that I hadn’t interacted with any women nor did I know about love because I lost my memory. You felt that I was reliant on you.”
Shaun interrupted her, “You’re right, and I did give it a shot. But when Hannah approached me, I just found her disgusting…”
“It was because you approached her with an ulterior motive. Plus, you already knew from the start that she’s evil…”
“But when she touched me, I had no feelings for her at all.” Shaun’s eyes were intent and burning. ” Yet I have feelings for you even when I touch you a little.”
He was too straightforward.
Cate’s face instantly turned crimson.
Shaun fixed his gaze on her charming face under the moonlight. Earlier, he had been feigning indifference and ignoring her on purpose. At this moment, he finally did not have to pretend anymore.
As his eyes rested on her lips, his Adam’s apple bobbed while his eyes blazed.
Just as Cate was about to speak, Joel’s voice suddenly rang out from the door behind. “Cate, it’s already late. Come back and put the kids to sleep.”
Seated in a wheelchair, Joel stared at Shaun vigilantly from a distance.
“Uncle Joel… ” Shaun smiled vaguely. He nodded and greeted Joel politely. “You may return to the office tomorrow. Wesley has gotten into deep waters and no one is going to target your company anymore.”
Joel seemed a little surprised. He had heard his daughter mention Shaun’s plan but did not expect it to have worked out.
Anyway, it was good to know that they did not need to leave this place.
“Thanks.” Joel’s tone was polite yet distant. “From now on, you and Cate can finally go your separate ways and lead your own lives.”
In other words, Joel would not allow Shaun to get back together with Cate even without Wesley’s presence.
Pretending that he did not grasp Joel’s message, Shaun gave an innocent smile. “Yeah. Now that Titus has taken Wesley away, Wesley has lost his status. He’s like a dead person now and can no longer be considered Cate’s husband. It’s true that she can start her life all over again. No one will criticize her even if she gets into a relationship.”
At the mention of Titus, Joel zoned out for a while.
He had long since found out that his first love had remarried. She had married a man who was more outstanding than himself.
In the end, he still missed the chance.
At the sight of Joel’s expression, Shaun said, “By the way, Sheryl has already found out the truth. I’m guessing she’ll come and acknowledge Cate.”
“I have nothing to do with her.” Cate finished her sentence with strong resistance. After that, she walked to the back of Joel and pushed his wheelchair. “Dad, it’s chilly here. Let’s go in.”
Joel nodded with complicated feelings. He then turned to say to Shaun, “Young Master Lyons, you’re not young anymore. I hope you get a new girlfriend soon. From now on, you’re just the father to Cate’s kids. I hope you won’t be involved with us in other ways.”
Cate froze for an instant. Then, she brought Joel into the house.
Shaun stood there nonchalantly for a while before he turned around and left.
When Cate glanced out of the villa’s window, Shaun’s figure was already out of sight.
She spaced out momentarily until Joel’s voice sounded in her ears. “To be frank, Shaun is really brilliant. I didn’t expect him to be able to turn things around by getting rid of Wesley and Hannah when things were already so dire. Among the youths, he’s probably the only one whom I truly admire.
“Although I admire him, it doesn’t mean that I hope the two of you will get back together, Cate. You went through so much and faced a lot of suffering before this. As your father, I just hope that you can live a peaceful life with the kids. Ever since you got together with Shaun, I noticed that you’ve experienced more hardships than joy. I hope that your partner will protect and support you instead of assisting you for a short while and leaving you alone after that.”
“I understand. Dad, you should go and take an early rest.”
Cate nodded. She grasped the meaning of Joel’s words more than anyone else.
After sending Joel back to his room, Cate returned to her bedroom.
At this time, the sitter had almost finished bathing the kids.
When Cate was drying Suzie and Lucas’ hair, Mireya suddenly called her. She sounded agitated on the phone. “Sh*t! I can’t believe that Wesley and Hannah have been arrested. That damned man, Nathan, has been hiding it from us. I was so frightened all this while that I thought my life would be over… Now, I feel like an idiot.”
Cate found it amusing. ” I realized that you’re beginning to sound like Rodney now after spending quite some time with him.”
“Is it the right time to discuss this? Most importantly, we survived this ordeal! ” Mireya was close to tears. “During this period, I was so terrified that I wasn’t sleeping well. When I heard the gunshot outside the villa today, I nearly pissed myself.”
“Is your baby okay?” Cate asked nervously at once.
“The baby’s okay. When Rodney came back just now, I gave him a piece of my mind, so I feel much better now, ” Mireya said.
Cate was at a loss for words. “According to what Shaun said, Rodney seemed to only find out about the plan today. Don’t blame him.”
“Do you blame Shaun? Rodney said that he knew it long ago.” Mireya suddenly asked, “But he didn’t inform you, right?”
Cate went silent for a moment before she replied, “I don’t blame him. After all, it was the prime minister’s plan. If he had informed me, I would’ve also told you if I saw your worried face. A big mouth like you might’ve spread the news to the Snows. Those around us might seem reliable, but once they learn more about the plan, it could leak out. If the plan hadn’t worked out, we would’ve suffered terrible consequences.”
” .. Enough. You actually called me a big mouth. ” Mireya flew into a fury. She gritted her teeth for a while before she said weakly, “Having said that, if I had learned the truth, I surely would’ve told you about it. Forget it. What you said makes sense too.”
Cate laughed. “Don’t worry. After this incident, your identity as the prime minister’s goddaughter will be consolidated. No one will dare to offend you in the future since they won’t be bold enough to act against the Snow family.”
“That’s true.” Mireya chuckled and said, “Well, people of high ranks like us have to put up with so much fear to gain great honor. By the way, we can finally relax now. Let’s go shopping tomorrow.
Also, I need to hand Hudson Corporation over to you.” “Mm.”
Cate nodded. Indeed, it was about time she relaxed.
However, after she lay on the bed, she still felt that everything was surreal.
Was Wesley’s life really over? What a wonderful feeling it was.
The feeling was so wonderful that Cate had trouble falling asleep.
She only fell asleep when it was 3:00 a.m.
However, she was awoken by the kids the next day.
She opened her eyes in a daze, only to find a tall, attractive figure in her room. Dressed in a white T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans, the man seemed to be at the peak of his youth, looking like he was still 20 years old. One would find it hard to resist his charm and elegance.
After staring at him in confusion for a while, she rubbed her eyes, thinking that she might not be awake.
Somehow, she still saw the scene of Shaun combing Suzie’s hair in her bedroom.
It was very rare to see Suzie seated on the chair so obediently. While holding a comb, Shaun bent over and braided her hair carefully.
“Not bad. You can braid better than Mommy.” Suzie looked into the mirror and was satisfied with the braid. “Please put on a pink hairband for me. ” “Alright, princess.”
Shaun felt as though he had turned into a barber. Suddenly, a shriek sounded from behind. He turned around, only to find Cate staring at him with wide eyes.
Although she had just gotten up, her ruffled hair did not affect her pretty face. She was wearing cotton pajamas. Her shirt slid to one side, revealing a large part of her shoulder. The picture of her completely naked flashed through Shaun’s mind.
After glancing at Cate, Shaun began to feel his body burning.
