Filed to story: Revenge Marriage Sweet Love Novel Free Online (Cate & Shaun) >>
For the first time, Cate found this woman intelligent and cool. Perhaps Tracy had been too quiet, so Cate never really paid attention to her before this.
“Don’t you hate me?” Cate suddenly asked. ” Sonya wishes she could skin me alive. Nathan was killed in an accident when he was on his way to meet me. Because of me, your child lost his father. “
“Of course, I hate you.”
A bitter look crossed Tracy’s face. “Having said that, Nathan had told me frankly that he had wronged you a lot. He hurt you and let you down. He felt that he owed you. He also called himself a despicable person because he got together with me for the sake of benefits. But since he married me, he told me he would treat me well and not betray me. Although you were the sweetheart in the depths of his heart, I’ve never been jealous of you. Some people might take possession of love and snatch it, but all I wanted was to stay by his side.”
Cate was shocked. She had to admit that Tracy was a broad-minded woman.
It was surprising that Nathan had met a woman like Tracy despite having gotten involved with Rosabella, that wicked woman.
Tracy added, “Also, I believe that Nathan would’ve left his dying words for me in his last moments if it weren’t for something very, very important. I’m telling you about this because I want you to fulfill Nathan’s last wish.”
Tracy smiled as she reached the end of her sentence. Her eyes had slowly reddened.
“Sorry, ” Cate apologized with utter devastation.
“You don’t have to be sorry. I think the most important thing here is that Nathan’s death might not be an accident but rather an intentional act.”
Tracy told her another piece of staggering news. ” I asked the police to check the last footage of Nathan’s accident. It proved that the message was typed out 20 seconds or so after the car crashed. Don’t you find it strange? Why did he try to send you a message after something happened to him and not before? Was it because he noticed something after the crash?”
“Are you saying that he realized someone wanted to kill him after the crash?” Cate gasped in fear. “But wasn’t it caused by a fault in the car?”
“Some faults are man-made, ” Tracy whispered, “
Think carefully about the conversation you had with Nathan. Did he say anything unusual?”
“He said he had something important to tell me, but he asked me not to let Wesley know…” As Cate reflected on it, she was chilled to the core.
Upon hearing it, Tracy went silent for a long time before she rose to her feet. “Was he actually looking for you to mediate the conflict between you and Wesley? Nobody knows the truth, but the only thing we’re sure of is that he had driven the car from the office at that time. I think you should be careful. It’s best not to let anyone know that I met you today.”
As soon as Tracy finished speaking, she wore her cap and sunglasses. She seemingly transformed into a different person.
“Tracy.” Cate leaped to her feet with clenched fists. ” I’ll investigate the matter. If Nathan’s death was an intentional act, I’ll certainly not let the killer off the hook.”
“Thank you. I hope you’ll fulfill Nathan’s last words and not let him down. ” Tracy turned around and smiled sadly before she walked away.
Cate sat in the private room for a long time.
The weather was warm, yet she felt chilly to the core.
Tracy’s presumption actually made sense. What if Nathan’s death was not an accident?
Nathan left Wesley’s office to look for her. Why had he been looking for her?
Why did he not struggle to escape or ask for help after the crash? Instead, he planned to send her a message to warn her. This indicated that the contents of the message must be of crucial importance. However, the car began to catch fire before he could send it.
He tried his best to toss his phone out with the intention of delivering the message even in his last moments.
In the end, he did not finish typing the message. Did he mean Wesley Sanderson or someone else from the Sanderson family?
Wesley and the Sanderson family shared the same last name, after all.
Nathan had been working for Wesley, so he might have discovered a secret that involved Wesley or the Sanderson family. He wanted to let Cate know, but in the end… he was killed.
It might have been an accident or an intentional act.
If it was the former, it would be an extraordinary coincidence. If it was the latter, that would be… terrifying.
Anyway, given that Nathan was Sonya’s son, he was also part of the Sanderson family.
Cate took a long, deep breath. She told herself to calm down.
She must find out the truth to take revenge on Nathan’s behalf. After all, she was associated with his death.
When she returned to Wesley’s villa, she found it gloomy like a cemetery.
She could not help but recall Shaun’s words.
Did she know Wesley well? Lea and Mason had known each other since college. Only after 3o years did she see Mason’s true colors. On the other hand, Cate had only known Wesley for four years. They were not the sort who spent a lot of time together either.
At 10:00 p.m., Wesley came home feeling exhausted. These few days, she often saw him looking depressed because of Nathan’s death. His usually tidy appearance had been replaced with an unshaven look, which made him appear more disheartened.
“Cate, why are you still awake?” Wesley was surprised to see her on the living room couch. Normally, she was in the bedroom at this hour.
“I couldn’t fall asleep.” Cate opened her eyes, feigning lethargy. However, her eyes were subtly fixed on him.
She noticed that he had changed his shirt after leaving the house this morning.
When she reflected on it, it seemed that he had done this a few times previously. Nevertheless, she did not think too much into it.
Wesley rubbed his brows. “I’m sorry for not accompanying you these few days. Nathan’s death was too sudden. There are a lot of matters in the company that I have to handle.”
“It’s alright.” Cate asked, “How’s the investigation into Nathan’s accident going? Has the car factory admitted to it?”
“Based on the data that the police received, it was the car that was faulty. The factory is planning to settle the issue privately by offering compensation. After all, Nathan’s parents are still around. It depends on their decision.”
Wesley said in a helpless tone, “Having said that, my brother-in-law doesn’t really care about Nathan. I think he took the money and settled it privately.”
“What a pity, ” Cate said despondently, ” These few days, I keep wondering why Nathan didn’t seize the opportunity to escape after the crash. If he had escaped from the car, he wouldn’t have burned to death.”
“The police said that he was stuck in the car after the crash, so he couldn’t escape.”
Wesley sighed. “The dead can’t come back to life. Don’t think too much. We still have to move on with our lives. I heard that my sister took a knife to the office to look for you on the day Nathan died.
Later, Shaun came— “
“Mm, yes. I didn’t know he would come either, ” Cate explained.
“Don’t worry, I’m not that petty. I heard that if Shaun hadn’t pushed you away, you might’ve been stabbed. Considering that both of you are my family, such an issue really pains me.”
Wesley walked to Cate and held her hands with an affectionate gaze.
If this had happened back then, Cate would feel guilty. However, she was filled with coldness today.
Was this his true self? Could there be a strange side to him behind this affectionate side?
“It’s all in the past. You must be tired too. Go and rest early.” Cate turned around and walked up the stairs.
Wesley suddenly called out to her, “By the way, are you available the day after tomorrow? Senator Mead’s daughter is having a birthday party. Mrs. Mead would like me to bring you over. Considering the Mead family’s unique status and the fact you’re my wife, I was too embarrassed to reject her.”
“Okay. I’ll go with you.” Cate nodded.
Perhaps she could better understand Wesley’s character on such an occasion.
The next day.
She received a call from Suzie. “Mommy, do you still remember that you have two cute darling kids?”
“Sorry, Suzie. I have a lot of things to handle recently.” Cate felt extremely guilty for neglecting her two kids during this period because of Nathan’s matter.
Well, she only dared behave this way because Shaun was looking after them.
Suzie sighed. “I’m kidding. I heard my scummy dad say you lost a childhood friend recently, so you’re unhappy. I won’t blame you.”
“Thank you for being so understanding, my darling, ” Cate responded with a smile.
“But you have to come and pick us up to eat and swim with us,” Suzie said.
“Yeah. Lucas and I want to go swimming, but my scummy dad said that you have to come with us. It can be dangerous for him to take the two of us out to swim. He’s afraid he can’t handle us alone.”
Cate admitted that Shaun was right. However, she felt rather embarrassed at the thought of having to wear a swimsuit and swim with Shaun.
