“You’re crazy.”
Cate scolded Mireya. She admitted that she was indeed a bit angry when she saw Shaun being pestered by Hannah just now. However, that had nothing to do with her being jealous at all. ” I just don’t want Hannah to be the stepmother of my children.”
“Sarah can’t be their stepmother. Hannah is no good either. Then who do you want their stepmother to be?” Mireya said while laughing.
“I think Hannah is quite cunning. She’s not a kind person despite her young age. She even wanted to have a servant push me into the pool to teach me a lesson. Luckily, I had my guard up,” Cate said angrily.
Mireya’s expression changed. “Such arrogance! You’re my friend, which means she’s disrespecting me. I’ll have a chat with her mother…”
“Forget it.” Cate stopped her. “In the end, I’m just your friend. The Mead family and the Snow family are business partners. No one wants any conflicts to occur at this moment.”
“This kind of woman can’t be Suzie and Lucas’
stepmother.” Mireya wholeheartedly agreed too. “So you must keep a close eye on Shaun. Don’t let him be snatched away by Hannah.”
Strangely, Cate felt exhausted.
In the garden.
Shaun finally found the opportunity to escape while Hannah was being held back by other people.
However, after a while, he felt his body growing very hot. Something was not right.
He had not eaten any contaminated food. He quickly understood that the glass of wine must have been spiked.
It must have been Hannah who did it. She was so shameless despite her young age.
Shaun quickly strode toward the entrance of the villa. However, before he could go near the door, he saw two of Hannah’s friends guarding the door. If he went over at that time, he would surely be blocked.
Damn it!
As his body got hotter and hotter, someone tapped him on the back all of a sudden.
Shaun looked back. Ryan was standing behind him and looking at him in astonishment. “Brother Shaun, what’s wrong with you? Your face is very red.”
“My wine was spiked.” Shaun smiled bitterly.
Ryan was dumbfounded. “It can’t possibly be… Hannah who did it, right?”
“Mm, it was her. ” Shaun’s breathing grew heavy. He was feeling very uncomfortable. “I reckon Hannah is looking for me all over the place now.”
“Follow me.” Ryan brought Shaun to a guest room on the second floor right away. “The Mead family is letting me rest here tonight. You can head over to the bathroom.”
“Thanks.” Shaun could no longer care about anything else. It was as if his whole body was being bitten by ants.
He rushed into the bathroom and used cold water to wash his face. However, it could not suppress the heat in his body at all.
Ryan stood outside. After glancing at the bathroom door for a moment, he gave Mireya a call.
Downstairs.
After receiving Ryan’s call, Mireya said to Cate, “Ryan told me to bring you up. He must be looking for you to talk about Wesley.”
“Okay.” When Cate was going upstairs, she saw Hannah coming in from the outside. She was frantically looking around. It was unknown what she was looking for.
Cate’s heart pounded. Could Hannah be looking for Shaun?
“Cate, hurry.” Mireya urged.
“Okay.”
Cate followed Mireya upstairs.
The Mead family’s villa was huge. There were more than ten rooms on just the second floor.
She and Mireya went into the room that was at the innermost corner. After they went in, Ryan came over and closed the door.
“What’s wrong? You’re being so secretive.” Mireya smiled and said, “Go ahead. Did Wesley look for you to talk about anything tonight?”
Ryan smiled embarrassedly. “I didn’t ask both of you to come up to talk about this. Miss Cox, please follow me.”
Cate walked with him to the bathroom door.
Though they were separated by a door, she could vaguely hear a man’s heavy pants coming from inside. That familiar voice made her blush.
After she realized what was happening, she turned around and wanted to leave. Ryan blocked her way. ” Miss Cox, I have no choice either. Hannah set him up. She’s looking all over the place for him now. If she finds him, Hannah will surely…”
He hesitated as he spoke. However, his awkward expression told it all.
Mireya was dumbfounded too. She stammered, “F*ck, it can’t possibly be… Shaun who’s inside, right…”
Ryan nodded helplessly.
Cate said angrily, “Just let him take a cold shower. Why did you ask me here? He and I are already divorced. Moreover, if Hannah comes in, you can just block her. Why must it be me?”
“If I intervene in this matter, it’ll be very awkward for the Mead and Snow families if this gets out of hand. Brother Shaun will be put in an awkward spot too.”
Ryan was in a dilemma. He explained, “You don’t understand. There are so many people here tonight. Since Hannah dares to do this, she must’ve gotten her parents’ permission. She’s their only daughter. The Mead family dotes on her a lot. My dad and the Mead family are on the same boat now. There can’t be conflicts between us.”
Cate’s scalp tingled. She was still slightly angry. “Who let him attend the party in the first place? It’s none of my f*cking business. Just let Hannah give him relief. Maybe he can even play up to the Mead family.”
In the end, Shaun was the one who got into this trouble himself. Why must she be the one to handle it?
The bathroom door abruptly opened.
Shaun had already taken off his outerwear. He just had a shirt on him, and the buttons were all open, exposing a large area of his muscular chest. Water droplets were all over his flushed face. It was as if flames were burning in his eyes.
“I’m not here to play up to the Mead family.”
Shaun fought back the agony, which felt as if bugs were biting his body. He gazed at Cate deeply. “Yesterday, you were the one who said… you’ll be coming today. That’s why I came.”
Cate was taken aback.
She recalled him asking her if she was free today the day before yesterday. She said that she had to attend Senator Mead’s daughter’s party.
He came here because of her?
While she was in a daze, Shaun closed the door again. He leaned back on the door. His distressed, hoarse voice could be heard. It made the two women blush with their hearts pounding.
Mireya felt like she could not continue listening anymore. She even wanted to clean her ears. “Er… Cate, why don’t you go in and help him out?”
Cate glared at Mireya in embarrassment. Did Mireya know what help she would be giving if she went in?
“That’s right, ” Ryan said hurriedly, “If Hannah comes looking for him here, she’ll surely realize he’s inside if she hears his voice. At that time, she’ll definitely want to provide him relief. Men are capable of doing irrational things when they lose control. There are many guests here tonight too. Hannah will surely force Shaun to take responsibility.”
Mireya cleared her throat. “You don’t want Hannah to be Suzie and Lucas’ stepmother, right?”
Cate did not want that, but asking her to do it with Shaun…
Furthermore, Wesley was just downstairs. She could not bring herself to do such a thing.
Her brain was in a mess like mush.
Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, there was the sound of someone knocking on the door from outside. Hannah’s voice could be heard. “Ryan, are you inside?”
Cate and the others’ expressions changed. Ryan gritted his teeth. He could not think too much about it anymore. He opened the bathroom door and pushed Cate inside.
Mireya was startled. “You…”
“If she’s unwilling, she can still come out. Let’s talk again after we dodge this oncoming problem.” Ryan touched his nose helplessly.
