“Say it,” Shaun ordered sharply. Even if he was dressed very ordinarily now, the aura in his eyes was still there. “Chase, we’ve been friends for more than ten years. Some things are better said clearly.”
“Fine. I just… felt like you were a scumbag to Rin. I’m not too familiar with Sarah either, so maybe I wasn’t used to seeing Sarah replace Rin, whom you always brought along when I was around. Also, I really didn’t understand why Chester got together with Tracy. She’s not a good woman at all. As for Rodney, his eyes were always on Sarah. He would listen to whatever she said. It was like his brain was muddled by love, and that was fine too. But I was very uncomfortable with you bringing them along to all of our gatherings. That was why I saw you guys less.”
Chase said honestly, “I often find it difficult to talk to you guys, especially in recent years.”
Shaun was silent. In fact, he had also realized that Chase did not like Sarah and Tracy. However, he really hated Cate at that time, so he turned a blind eye. After all, it was normal for good friends to be estranged.
“Did I… love Cate a lot before?” he asked casually out of the blue.
“I used to think that you liked her a lot, so I couldn’t understand why you did all that afterward. Maybe she was just a pastime for you when Sarah wasn’t around.” Chase’s lips twitched.
“Is that so? Then tell me, what made you misunderstand that I liked her?” Shaun asked expressionlessly.
Chase looked at him speechlessly. “If you didn’t like her, why would you gift her the Queen’s Necklace? That diamond necklace was worth tens of billions. If you didn’t like her, why would you sacrifice sleep and rush over overnight to save her when you learned that she was locked up in the old Cox residence? Also, when the stone fell from a building on the construction, you ended up hurting your back to save her. You almost lost your life that time. Then, there was the time where you ate hotpot with her. How can you eat hotpot with that stomach of yours? The stomachache you got after was excruciating…”
After saying all that, Chase suddenly stopped. ” Forget it. No matter how much you liked her, it can’t compare with Sarah.”
“Who said… it can’t?” Shaun suddenly smiled, but there was indescribable sadness in that smile.
“Huh?” Chase was a little confused.
” I’ll call you out for a drink later. ” Shaun took the car keys and turned away.
When he got into the car, he realized that his eyes were slightly red.
He had no memory of what Chase said.
However, he knew that since Chase could answer so quickly to his sudden question, it meant that it was not a lie.
Those were things that had once truly happened between Cate and him.
It was understandable to forget one or two things, but it was really strange that Shaun had forgotten all the proof that he cared about Cate.
He could not imagine that he almost died trying to save her once.
He even accompanied her to eat hot pot and got a stomach ache.
He would never eat hotpot.
How special was Cate to him?
He wanted to find out quickly, but he was suddenly afraid.
He was afraid that Cate and he really were deeply in love, but since his memory was tampered with, he later abandoned her and hurt their children.
He was afraid that he had hurt her deeper than he thought.
He sat in the car for half an hour before finally going to see Aunty Linda.
After Aunty Linda answered his call, she quickly walked out holding an old booklet. When she saw Shaun, she called out tentatively, “Eldest Young Master Lyons…”
“Aunty Linda, you still remember me.” Shaun looked at Aunty Linda and found that he still remembered her.
“Of course I do. I’ve been a nanny for so many years, but Ms. Cox and you left the deepest impression on me…” She suddenly paused guiltily for a moment before saying, “Did I… offend you by mentioning your ex-wife?”
“No.” Shaun tried to ignore the pain in his heart.
Aunty Linda asked worriedly, “What do you suddenly want to see me for?”
” I suffered from an illness a few years ago and lost a lot of memories of my former life in Melbourne, so I wanted to ask you about it.” Shaun found an excuse and said, “Can you tell me some things about Cate and me?”
Aunty Linda looked shocked and sympathetic when she heard that. “I see. Actually, I’m not too sure about the specifics between Ms. Cox and you. I’m just a nanny, so I can only talk about what I usually see. Anyway, Ms. Cox and you were like a grudgeful couple. When you two got along, you got along terribly well, but when it was bad, you two often quarreled and gave each other the silent treatment.”
“What do you mean?” Shaun’s pupils shrank and could not help but move his throat with difficulty. “When you both were on good terms, Ms. Cox would cook breakfast for you every day. Sometimes, when she came back early because she was free, she would cook you dinner. My cooking wasn’t bad, but you didn’t like my food. You only liked Ms. Cox’s cooking. When on bad terms, you two would fight, and you would disappear for a few days without any news. But when you came back, you both would make up and be very sweet to each other again.”
Aunty Linda sighed pitifully. “You two were a good match, but maybe it was because you both were still young, so it was easier for misunderstandings to happen. I remember Ms. Cox and you had a huge fight one night. I was downstairs and didn’t dare to go up, but you two signed the divorce papers the next day. Ms. Cox was… quite sad. Oh, right.”
Aunty Linda hurriedly handed over the booklet in her hand. “This is the recipe book that Ms. Cox gave me on the day she left. She wrote it herself. It contains your favorite home-cooked dishes. She said you had a bad stomach and was afraid that you’d be picky about food after you leave, so she told me to follow the recipe so that you’d eat it.”
With his heart thumping, Shaun took the recipe and flipped it open. He could tell that the words were written a long time ago, and even though the booklet was old, he still recognized her handwriting.
He had seen her handwriting when they lived together before.
It turned out that she was once so concerned about his stomach.
It turned out that she cared so much about him.
Aunty Linda said, “Ms. Cox is a really nice person. I’ve been a nanny for decades, but I’ve never encountered someone as good- tempered as her. She didn’t treat me as a nanny. Sometimes, when I was working, she’d advise me to rest and don’t be so busy. With her, I could be frank, and she wouldn’t blame me. Before she lived in the villa, you never liked to come home. You’d go out in the morning and come back when it was time to sleep. After she moved in, you’d go to work with her every day and come back on time after work mainly because you wanted to wait for her return. When she was busy with work, you even complained that she cared more about her work than you.”
Shaun was bewildered. He did that?
He actually came back from work on time because of her?
“Aunty Linda, are you… telling the truth?”
“Why would I lie about this? It’s been a long time since I’ve worked for you,” Aunty Linda said frankly.
“Then, were we… intimate?” Shaun asked in a low voice. In his memory, he hated when Cate approached and touched him three years ago. She even took advantage of him being drunk to get pregnant.
Aunty Linda blushed. “Oh, of course you were. Every time Ms. Cox kissed you, you were quite happy. There was once when you were injured, you lied to her and told her that it would stop hurting if she kissed you, and Ms. Cox actually believed you. Even my face turned red when I saw it.”
“Thank you…” After hearing that, Shaun gratefully let Aunty Linda go back.
He had no recollection of what Aunty Linda told him, but he knew that like Chase’s words, it was all most likely true.
However, he had forgotten it. He had forgotten that three years ago, he once loved a woman named Cate Cox.
All his mind remembered were her faults.
It was no wonder that after Cate came back three years later, she could easily cook a meal he loved. She knew his appetite like the back of her hand.
Even in bed, she knew what kind of position he liked the most.
It was because they were in love.
However, he had forgotten that he loved her.
It was enough that he forgot, but he even got together with Sarah and forced the divorce on her. He even forced her to announce to the public that they had a contract marriage.
He defended Thomas Neeson time and time again, locked her up, pushed her down, and killed his two children.
He also hurt the friend she cared about the most and threatened her with Joel’s illness.
It was not easy for her to come back.
Yet, he cut off Logan’s finger for Sarah and almost locked Cate in a dungeon.
If she had not been smart enough to find evidence to clear her name, he might still regard her as a bad and evil woman.
He did not deserve to love her.
He had hurt her so much and even abducted her to an island.
Shaun could no longer hold back his tears.
As a man, his tears poured down for the first time in his life. He cried in despair.
Time and time again, he trampled the woman he once loved and took care of the woman who ruined his everything. Not only that, but he also gave Sarah 100 billion for the breakup.
He always thought he was smart, but now, he realized that he was a fool.
He was played like a fiddle. Sarah Neeson, oh, Sarah Neeson.
