“Okay.”
Cate agreed.
There were too many things happening recently. She had not properly hung out with Mireya in a long time.
She got off work early, bought the crayfish, and drove over. On the way, she received Shaun’s call. ” Do you want to come to my place to eat tonight?
Suzie and Lucas— “
“Don’t keep using them as your excuses. I’ve promised Mireya to have a meal with her tonight. ” Cate could see through his plans immediately.
Shaun sounded rueful. “You’d rather accompany Mireya than accompany your children when you have time? Who’s more important, your friend or your children?”
“Alright, stop nagging. I’ll bring some leftover crayfish and visit Suzie and Lucas later.” Cate remembered that Suzie liked to eat crayfish.
“You guys are eating crayfish?” Shaun frowned. ” The children are still young. It’s not suitable for them to eat crayfish, right?”
” I’m cooking the crayfish myself, ” Cate said bluntly, “I’ll make sure to clean the crayfish properly. Don’t worry.”
“Cate, cleaning crayfish is a laborious task. I think… it’ll be better for me to do that kind of job.” Shaun volunteered. “I promise to wash each and every crayfish till they’re clean. I’ll even shell them for you.”
“… Okay.”
He was offering such great services for free. Cate hesitated for a few seconds and agreed in the end.
She could not shake him off anyway. It would be better to torture him more.
After buying the crayfish, she brought them to Brighton Gardens right away.
Mireya’s eyes widened when she saw the two bags of crayfish in Cate’s hands. “How many kilograms of crayfish did you buy?”
“Ten kilograms.”
Cate said with a smile.
Mireya teared up from being too touched and hugged her. “Do you know that I’ve been eating nourishing food every day lately? My tastebuds are becoming bland from all that nourishment. You specially bought so much crayfish for me. But I’m a pregnant woman, so I can only eat five kilograms at most.”
The corners of Cate’s mouth twitched. “You want to eat five kilograms of crayfish? You must be dreaming. You can only eat 2o pieces at most. I bought so much because I wanted to cook more and bring some back for Suzie and Lucas. Moreover… Shaun will be coming too.”
“Why did you invite him too?” Mireya’s expression was gloomy. “Are you bullying me for being pregnant and still single? You must be provoking me.”
“You think too much. I just wanted to get someone else to wash the crayfish.” Cate lifted a crayfish and showed Mireya its abdomen. It was dirty.
“It’s so dirty. Why didn’t you ask the fishmonger to wash it for you?” After Mireya said that, she looked a t Cate with a weird gaze. “Did you do it on purpose?”
“Haha, he said he wanted to wash the crayfish. I’m letting him do as he wishes.” Cate grinned evilly. ” It’s not that easy to make me forgive him.”
“If it’s not that easy, it means there’s still a chance.” Mireya blinked ambiguously.
“Ahem, that’s because he’s clinging to me too tightly like chewing gum. I can’t even shake him off.” Cate pouted.
The corners of Mireya’s lips were lifted. She just smiled and did not say anything more.
About ten minutes later, Shaun arrived.
After Cate opened the door, she brought him t o the kitchen. Shaun was dumbfounded when he saw the two basins of live crayfish in the kitchen.
“Clean them as fast as possible. It’s already getting late. I want to cook the crayfish before 7:00 p.m.
Remember to devein the crayfish as well. Cut the shell in the middle open too. ” Cate was afraid he would not understand. After demonstrating it to him once, she handed the brush to him and left.
After Shaun stared into space silently for a few minutes, he had no choice but to accept reality.
He lowered his head and studied how to handle the crayfish in earnest.
He thought he was fearless. However, when he touched the pincers of the crayfish, he was filled with helplessness and despair.
After cleaning them for about half an hour, Chester gave him a video call. Chester was in Rodney’s ward.
He wanted to let Shaun look at Rodney’s injury, but he was stunned when he saw Shaun wearing an apron. “You’re cooking?”
“Hah! I don’t have the right to do such a pleasant thing like cooking. I’m cleaning crayfish. ” Shaun moved the phone around to let Chester see how many more live, dirty crayfish he still had to clean.
The corners of Chester’s mouth twitched. “Where are you? How did you end up in this state?”
“I’m at Mireya’s place. Cate said they wanted to have crayfish tonight. I impulsively said I would clean the crayfish for them.”
Shaun laughed bitterly. He lamented, “When I had a wife previously, I didn’t cherish her properly. In the end, I have no choice but to use this method to please my wife. It’s too difficult. Look at my hands. Five of my fingers are scratched from being pinched.”
After a moment of silence, Chester handed the phone to Rodney who was sleeping on his stomach. “Look at Shaun. His today is your tomorrow.”
Rodney, whose butt was in pain, saw the scene.
F*ck, Cate and Mireya were good sisters. Surely, they would have the same ideas if they wanted to prank men, right?
“It’s you, huh? Take a proper look at how I’m cleaning the crayfish. ” Shaun put the phone aside and started teaching Rodney. “Can you see it clearly? If you don’t learn, you’ll never have the chance to marry into the Snow family your whole life.”
“Get lost! Hang up the call. I don’t want to look at him,” Rodney said in despair.
Chester cleared his throat. After he hung up, he said, “Luckily, I’m not like you guys.”
Rodney snorted and glared at Chester fiercely. “I’ll curse you that you’ll be more miserable than us in the future.”
After he spoke, he lay down on the bed listlessly. One of the reasons was because his body was in unbearable pain. Secondly, his heart that just went through heartbreak had not recovered yet. Thirdly… he did not want to end up washing crayfish.
Wait!
Crayfish?
Rodney endured the intense pain and raised his head with all his might. “Chester, call him back. Mireya is pregnant yet she’s still eating dirty things like crayfish? What if my baby gets sick from the food?”
Chester was speechless. “Didn’t you decide that you didn’t want this baby anymore? What does it have to do with you?”
Rodney was stunned for a long time. Then, he said with a flushed face, “But the baby in Mireya’s stomach is my flesh and blood. This is a fact.”
“You dragged her to abort your flesh and blood. This is a fact too, ” Chester reminded him calmly. ” It’s none of your business.”
“Chester! ” Rodney was infuriated and raised his voice. As a result, his vision blackened for a moment from the pain. He almost fainted again.
He took a long time to recover. When he did, he said weaHy, “What right do you have to tell me off? You fool around with women as though you’re changing clothes. The number of women you’ve hurt is countless. Although I’m a scumbag, I’m not as scummy as you.”
“You’re mistaken. I never fool around with women who love me.” Chester glanced at Rodney heartlessly. “Women who hang out with me usually have their eyes on my money. We’re just getting what we both need. Only a fool will get into a relationship.”
“F*ck, try not falling in love with a woman if you can. By that time, you’ll understand my and Shaun’s agony.”
Rodney glared at Chester for a while despite his gaze being weak. “Call Shaun again. Ask him not to let Mireya eat too much crayfish. She can only eat two or three at most. Also, ask him to properly clean the crayfish.”
“Ha, are you trying to make me get scolded by Shaun?” Chester turned around and walked toward the door. “It seems like your condition isn’t too bad. I’ll be leaving first, then.”
“How is my condition not bad? Can’t you see that I’m hurting to death? Hey, don’t go,” Rodney shouted pitifully. However, Chester only showed him his cold silhouette.
Rodney sighed gloomily.
He did not expect that nobody from the Snow family would come and show their concern for him when he was hit to this extent.
Thinking back, he used to be the apple of the Snow family’s eye. How did he end up in this state?
Brighton Gardens.
Shaun cleaned the crayfish till his hands and waist hurt.
He finally cleaned the last one. Only then did he go out to look for Cate.
