“What’s so nice about staying there?” Lucas asked grumpily.
Suzie pouted without saying anything else. Cate touched her head. “Alright.”
If the Lyons family were treating Suzie out of the kindness of their hearts, Cate did not mind Suzie having more family members.
Lucas snorted with annoyance. He turned to the other side with his back facing them.
“My scummy dad said he’ll pick me up tomorrow.” Cate was stunned but she nodded.
7:00 a.m. the next day.
The security guard said that Shaun was at the gate o f the Yule family’s villa.
Cate helped Suzie carry her bag. Then, she held her hand and walked her out.
Wearing a shirt under a gray vest, Shaun was standing at the gate under a tree. He was holding a cigarette in one hand while the other hand was stuck into his trousers’ pocket.
He watched Cate come out of the villa.
When he looked at her, his deep -set eyes reddened slightly. Cate wondered if the smoke had irritated his eyes.
He said in a hoarse voice, “Suzie, I came to pick you up.”
Suzie nodded. “Uncle Shaun, quit smoking. Smoking is bad for your health.”
“Okay, I won’t smoke anymore.” Shaun opened the door of the car beside him and seated her.” I’ll be sending you to Granny’s place.”
“Suzie, you can call me if there’s anything, alright?” Cate reminded Suzie concernedly.
“Okay, I’ll be fine. I’m already a grown-up.” Suzie pouted as she could not bear to part with her mom.
After Shaun closed the door, Cate waved at Suzie through the window. She turned around to return to the Yule family’s villa.
“I understand now. I was hypnotized by Sarah three years ago.”
Staring at Cate’s back, Shaun suddenly said in a disheartened tone, “I went to Melbourne recently and found Aunty Linda. I learned a lot of things from her. We used to be… a very loving couple.”
“… Oh,” Cate responded serenely with her back facing him. However, a wave of emotions had already swept over her.
He had actually discovered it?
She thought that he would never realize it.
Shaun was deeply frustrated to receive a mere ¡®oh’ a s a reply from her. Did she not have any other reactions, such as agitation, sorrow, or bitterness?
Cate did not show any other reactions, but Shaun was emotionally agitated.
In the past few days, he had found himself in a difficult dilemma about whether to see her or not. He dreaded seeing her, but he dearly missed her at the same time.
“Cate, I’m sorry. I really didn’t know…”
Shaun began to explain like a lost kid, “I didn’t mean to behave like that. I never thought that such a ridiculous thing would happen to me either.
Sarah’s hypnosis was so powerful that it rewrote all my memories and made me hate you so much.
That’s why I was unaware of it…”
“So are you asking me to forgive you?” Cate suddenly turned her head around, her tranquil eyes settling on his handsome face.
” I … ” Awkward, Shaun did not know what to say. His eyes reddened in agony. “Cate, I love you. My love for you has never changed…”
“Hah!”
Cate finally laughed. “Shaun, even if you hadn’t been hypnotized by Sarah, we might’ve already divorced by now.”
Shaun was dazed. “That wouldn’t be the case.”
“It’s funny how I’m the only one who remembers that relationship of ours. In truth, we started having issues with our relationship before that.
When you were still clear-headed, you completely ignored me and would spend time with Sarah every day. When you guys went for gatherings, I would occasionally join but I was the most unwelcome person in your circle.”
Cate recounted the past happenings, “You simply let your friends throw mud at me and attack me. You’d forever stand up for Sarah rather than me. You thought that I was making a scene. When I got pregnant later, we hardly talked to each other. Moreover, you were often not at home. I couldn’t feel your care at all.”
Shaun’s lashes fluttered weakly.
He had been under the impression that the two of them were very loving before this and it was Sarah who changed everything through her hypnosis.
It turned out that he had already been treating Cate unreasonably before that.
Cate continued, “I’ve long since known how cruel and wicked Sarah is. I had reminded you countless times to keep a distance from her, but you assumed that I was trying to tear you guys apart. You had too much trust in Sarah, which was also why she managed to hypnotize you.
“Shaun, even so, I didn’t hate you back then. I only began to hate you after I lost our children and something happened to Mireya. It was fine that you didn’t love me and defended her, but you even lost your morals and crossed the line. That was just terrifying. Why did you have to take advantage of others for the sake of your relationship?
“Shaun, in case you’re unclear about it, you’re not a victim. You deserve this.”
He deserved this…
Shaun’s handsome face was as white as a sheet.
A moment later, he smiled wryly. “Yeah, I deserve it. I used to have a wife and children, but I didn’t know how to appreciate them. I treated you like trash, yet I treated that wicked woman as the apple of my eye —“
“Wifey, it’s time for breakfast.”
Wesley suddenly walked out the door and called out to Cate in an affectionate, gentle manner.
Shaun’s body jerked. At the sight of Wesley in pajamas, his reddened eyes carried a surge of emotions.
Did Wesley spend the night here? Were they… living together?
Shaun heard Wesley calling his ex-wife ¡®Wifey’.
“Mr. Lyons, your relationship with my wife remains i n the past. Today, you’re just here to pick Suzie up. I think there’s nothing much the two of you have to talk about.”
Wesley gently put his hand around Cate’s waist, his body sticking close to hers. “By the way, let me warn you. You had greater status than me before this, so I had no choice but to put up with you when you threatened me at my wedding. But now, you’re not the Young Master Lyons you used to be anymore. Lyons Corporation is far from where Golden Corporation is now. I hope… you’ll stay away from my wife. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Wesley’s eyes were frosty as he spoke softly. Shaun sneered at him.
Was Wesley threatening him?
“Wesley Sanderson, you’ve always been rude to me, haven’t you? Unfortunately, you hid it too well. Let’s see when your mask slips.”
As soon as Shaun finished speaking, he darted a glance at Cate. At the sight of her calm expression, his heart ached deep down.
Suzie rolled down the rear window and stuck her head out. She then asked with an impatient tone, ” Uncle Shaun, how much longer are you going to talk?”
“I’m coming now.” Shaun got into the car.
When he drove off, he spotted Wesley lowering his head and kissing Cate on the lips through the rear-view mirror.
He tightened his grip on the steering wheel until the veins on the back of his hands bulged. At the same time, he pressed down on the accelerator harder in spite of himself.
Suzie began to scream in shock. “Uncle Shaun, you’re driving too fast! I’m scared.”
Shaun suddenly came back to his senses. He swiftly reduced his speed and apologized, “Sorry.”
“Uncle Shaun, how immature of you. No wonder your wife left you.” Suzie could not help but mock him with her hands on her waist.
“… You’re right.” Shaun looked down dejectedly.
Suzie sighed at his behavior. She knew that her mommy had married Uncle Wesley. However, when she imagined her mommy living with Uncle Wesley i n the future, she felt like she would be a homeless child.
“Why are you sighing?” Shaun looked at the three- year-old little kid who was acting like an adult.
