In the corridor, Mireya and Cate stood waiting for the elevator.
Shaun took big strides toward Cate. His pace was eager, but before he got close, Austin blocked him.
“Get out of the way. I need to talk to her.”
Shaun only stared at Cate anxiously. He realized that even though only a few days had passed without seeing her, she had become haggard. Her eyes were red and bloodshot. Plus, there were dark circles under her eyes.
She must have been very worried about Logan’s case and probably did not sleep for several nights.
His heart ached fiercely.
He had forced all this to happen. If he had more trust in her, things would not have come to this.
Mireya sneered, “Eldest Young Master Lyons, how can you be so shameless to come over here? When you hurt Cate, you were ruthless and merciless, calling her a vicious woman. You didn’t spare her the slightest affection. Now that you’ve realized you misunderstood her, you want to come and make peace again?”
Shaun’s chest ached at Mireya’s words.
He looked at Cate’s cold face and suddenly remembered that just a short while ago, the two of them were still swimming at Mount Wellington.
Her bright and clear eyes, the way she occasionally acted coquettishly with him, and how sweet her laugh was…
How did it all change in the blink of an eye?
“I’m…”
“You don’t have to say that you’re sorry.” Cate’s clear and cold voice interrupted him. “ Because I’ll never forgive you.”
“You’d better go protect your precious Sarah, ” Mireya mockingly said, “After all, if something happens to her, you’ll always and unconditionally go out of your way to accompany her and protect her. Shaun Lyons, in your eyes, Sarah’s position is just too special. Why can’t you admit it?
“On the one hand, you think you don’t love her, yet you want to protect her. On the other hand, you want Cate’s love, yet you want her to come back to you no matter how much you hurt her. Do you think you’re filming a drama?”
Shaun’s delicate and handsome face became pale.
Mireya was indescribably happy at his expression. “By the way, I accidentally heard that you gave Sarah a house, a car, and billions of dollars when you broke up with her? My God. That must be the world’s
most expensive break-up fee. May I ask what you gave to Cate when you divorced her?”
“Cate, I won’t do it again. I swear! ” Shaun panicked.
The more Mireya spoke, the more he became acutely aware that he had been unfair to Cate.
“Stop swearing. Your promises make me sick. Shaun Lyons, stay away from me in the future. What you can give me isn’t happiness; it’s pain that drives me into the abyss time and again. I can never forgive you, so don’ t come looking for me again. You disgust me.”
Cate went into the elevator without looking back.
Shaun’s legs felt like they were filled with lead when he faced her hateful eyes. He tried to approach her but was unable to move.
It was not until she left that he felt that his body was drained of all energy.
He did not know how he walked out of the courthouse.
He walked alone on the street for a long time until he was tired of walking. He sat on a chair by the street like a puppet without a soul.
Hadley walked over with an umbrella. “Eldest Young Master Lyons, it’s too sunny. You should go back to the car first.”
“Hadley, do you think she’ll forgive me?” Shaun looked down at his hands.
These hands had cut off Logan’s finger.
She had begged him time and again to believe her.
What about him? He said that he loved her, but he never once gave her an ounce of trust.
He even inflicted all the wounds that Sarah suffered on Cate. He tried to lock Logan and her in the basement as well.
If Cate had not used Suzie to escape with Logan, maybe he would never have realized the truth.
It was no wonder she had asked why he was not locked up in the mental hospital with so much resentment.
How could he be so blind?
Yes, how did he become so blind? What kind of madness was he afflicted with for him to hurt a woman he loved like that?
Hadley looked at Shaun’s absent-minded appearance and realized that it was his first time seeing Shaun like this. It was as if he had lost his most beloved treasure and was at a loss.
“Eldest Young Master Lyons, you should forget about Miss Cox and go your separate ways.” Hadley sighed in his heart. He had warned Eldest Young Master Lyons that night, but unfortunately, he did not listen. Eldest Young Master Lyons believed Sarah too much.
He regretted it now, but there was no medicine for regret in the world.
“Forget her?” Shaun suddenly looked up, getting u p and grabbing Hadley’s collar. He looked like a lion that was about to collapse. “How am I supposed to forget her?! ”
“When you helped Ms. Neeson with her lawsuit, haven’t you already stopped thinking about a future with Miss Cox? In that case, you should’ve been mentally prepared a long time ago, ” Hadley reminded him.
Shaun froze. Hadley’s voice was like a fierce slap on his face.
Yes, he had decided not to love Cate anymore before, so why could he not let her go now? Why did
he feel like thousands of ants were gnawing on his heart?
Hadley continued, “Do you feel sorry for Miss Cox? But to her, the best apology is to stop disturbing her. She’s right. If she weren’t close to you, maybe she wouldn’t have gotten hurt so much.”
“Hadley… ” Shaun glared at him. He never thought that Hadley would have the courage to say such a thing to him.
“Eldest Young Master Lyons, I’m sorry. I might have overstepped with my words today.” Hadley smiled bitterly. “As a bystander, I think that Miss Cox is too pitiful. Before you divorced her, you let Yael undress her in front of Irving and the others. You managed to deal with Yael and made Miss Cox feel a little touched, but this kidnapping incident has ruined her hope. You asked her to forgive you, but how will she face Logan and his missing finger in the future?”
“Yes, she told me herself that a finger can’t grow back.”
Shaun smiled sadly as he stumbled back two steps. He turned to leave.
“Eldest Young Master Lyons…” Hadley wanted to chase after him.
