Suddenly, she opened her eyes.
Under the moonlight that poured in from the window, Shaun’s deep-set eyes were fixed on her. His gaze was filled with affection and an unknown glint.
“Cate…” The word came out of his elegant, thin lips softly.
Cate’s sleepiness instantly vanished. If she had not considered the two kids who were sleeping soundly beside her, she would have certainly leaped out of bed and kicked him in the crotch.
However, she could only try her best to control her emotions at this point. She kept her voice low and asked with her teeth clenched, “Who gave you the permission to sleep here?”
“Didn’t you say that you’re willing to get back together with me?” Shaun’s luscious lashes fluttered innocently.
Cate zoned out at the sight of his fluttering lashes.
To her surprise, this man’s lashes were longer and more luscious than hers.
As his luscious lashes got closer to her, so did the man’s breath.
Seeing that he was about to kiss her, Cate covered his mouth at once. She gnashed her teeth and asked, “Who agreed to get back together with you?”
Shaun did not utter a word. He stared affectionately at her while holding her slim waist.
“Shaun…” Cate kicked him in exasperation.
The noise on the bed made Suzie flip her body. Her hand then landed on Cate’s arm.
At that moment, Cate did not dare move around for fear that Suzie would be awake.
Shaun moved her hand away and whispered, “How can I speak if you’re covering my mouth? Cate, you’re not planning to remarry me, right? I understand that marriage has left a traumatic experience for you, so I won’t force you. Let’s get back together first. We can slowly build our relationship. No matter how many years it’ll take to build our relationship, I’ll always be here for you. We’ll only get married when you feel like it. You can take liberties with me if you wish. I won’t mind.”
Cate was frustrated with his behavior, yet she could not raise her voice. She had no choice but to tell him off in a whisper, “Suzie is still immature yet you actually believed in her words? Who wants to take liberties with you? Get lost.”
“I’m not going to get lost.” Shaun continued to hug her slim waist stubbornly.
“Get lost.”
“No.”
He even pushed his luck by lowering his head and locking lips with her.
His shameless behavior angered Cate.
Her eyes wandered a little before she suddenly extended her hand and gripped Shaun’s neck.
Shaun shuddered and became so excited that his heartbeat immediately quickened. Then, he muttered, “Cate, my darling…”
“Stop talking.” Cate lifted her head and kissed him back.
Shaun felt like a young man again and shuddered.
It felt as though he had eaten something sweet, like honey.
Barn! All of a sudden, he was ruthlessly kicked to the carpet.
“Mommy, what was that noise?” Lucas woke up with a start, while Suzie continued sleeping like a baby.
“Nothing. I flung some trash onto the floor just now. You can continue sleeping.” Cate touched Lucas gently.
Lucas vaguely uttered, “Mhm.” He then fell asleep again.
With a sulky expression, Shaun got up while feeling annoyed and glowered at Cate. “Am I trash?”
“It serves you right. You refused to budge even after I told you to get lost, ” Cate said in a self- righteous manner.
Shaun continued to look at her fixedly. Dressed in silk pajamas, she was unaware that she had revealed a large part of her fair flesh below her collarbone as she was sleeping on her side.
His Adam’s apple bobbed. He was set on staying here tonight even if he were to die.
“Cate, I just can’t bring myself to leave you, ” Shaun grumbled, “Stop giving me a hard time, okay?”
“Are you planning to leave?” Cate asked.
“No, I’m not.” Shaun shook his head. “Wherever you sleep, I’ll sleep there.”
“… Suit yourself, but don’t think about getting onto the bed. You can sleep on the floor,” Cate replied coldly.
“Okay. I don’t mind as long as we’re sleeping in the same bedroom.” With that, Shaun lay on the floor.
To Cate, he was a real pain in the neck.
With fall drawing nearer, he might easily catch a cold if he were to lie on the floor at night without a blanket, though it was scorching hot during the day.
“Cate, you can sleep. Don’t worry about me. I’m strong, so I won’t catch a cold.” Shaun grinned at her.
Cate promptly bit her tongue. “You’re overthinking. I can’ t be bothered about you. Suit yourself.”
Once she finished speaking, she tucked herself into bed and ignored him.
After dealing with the fuss, she was incredibly sleepy.
Shortly after, she fell asleep again.
The next day, Cate woke up to Suzie’s yell. ” Scummy dad, why are you sleeping on the floor?
You look so miserable. When did you come in? Why didn’t you sleep on your bed?”
“I didn’t want to sleep alone.” Shaun sat up and shuddered.
He did not expect last night to be so cold.
Lucas said mercilessly, “How childish of you. You’re not a kid! “
Shaun did not take his remark to heart. “Lucas, you’ll understand it in the future. A man in love is a kid.”
Suzie belched. “How disgusting he is, Mommy.”
“Yes, he’s pretty disgusting. ” Cate nodded in agreement.
Shaun rose to his feet, feeling aggrieved. When he was about to speak, his nose suddenly itched and he sneezed twice in a row.
“Scummy dad, are you having a cold? Suzie asked sympathetically.
“Don’t infect the kids.” Cate merely thought he was being dramatic.
“Alright. I’ll get out right now.” Shaun was stung by her warning.
While covering his nose, he walked out the door and happened to bump into Lea.
Lea darted a teasing glance at him. “Good job! You managed to sleep in there so soon.”
Shaun laughed at how Lea thought so highly of him. In fact, he had spent the night sleeping on the floor.
When everyone was having breakfast together in the morning, Cate was slightly embarrassed.
Despite being aware that she had spent the night, no one talked about it.
When Shaun was eating oatmeal, he would sneeze and cough from time to time.
Old Madam Lyons said disdainfully, “Take your bowl and eat over there. Don’t infect old people like us and the kids.”
After looking at everyone’s expression that indicated approval of Old Madam Lyons’s suggestion, Shaun felt extremely upset.
It turned out that he was so insignificant in this house.
