“Uncle, you’re amazing.” Cate was full of admiration.
She spent the next hour discussing the plans for the resort with Brennan.
Shaun sat at the side in boredom, dryly watching their exchange while unable to join in.
Brennan had completely stolen his thunder.
He was very depressed. He used to be the richest man in the country, but now, it was like he was an uneducated lad.
After talking until 8:30 p.m. Brennan noticed Shaun’s bitter eyes and smiled. ” If we continue to ignore a certain someone, he might not bring you here next time.”
Only then did Cate notice Shaun’s unhappy and handsome face.
She smiled awkwardly. “Your father is amazing. “
“… Heh. Cate, how many times have you praised my dad tonight?” Shaun was upset. “At least seven or eight times by now.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. Are you jealous of your dad?” Cate was amused. “Isn’t praising your dad the same as praising you? You’re very lucky to have a dad like him.”
“What should I be thankful for? My luck has never had anything to do with my parents.” Shaun’s eyes were complicated. ” I know how to do everything that my dad said just now, but you never talk about your ideas to me. Cate, do you look down on me now?”
Cate’s sweat dripped. She had just talked a little with his dad, but he made it seem like a serious problem and as if she was looking down on him. “How would I know if you know stuff like that?”
“If you don’t communicate with me, how would you know if I know or not?” Shaun disputed.
“Why should I communicate with you? Have you forgotten how you used to lose your temper with me? I won’t even want to talk to you. Also, we just got back together today!”
“No, strictly speaking, it was 11:28 p.m. last night, ” Shaun corrected.
Cate was exasperated.
Brennan looked at them bicker childishly as a complex smile flashed in his eyes.
Once upon a time, Lea and he were like that too. However, they were young back then and did not know how to cherish each other.
After living half their lives, they were still alone. “Wait here.”
Brennan suddenly got up and went upstairs.
Three minutes later, he came back downstairs with an envelope and handed it to Cate.
Cate took it and saw that it was the title deed and real estate certificate to Lyons Manor, as well as a bunch of keys.
She was taken aback. “So it turns out that the mysterious buyer of Lyons Manor was you.”
“This is the first time we’re meeting, so I’ll give you this manor. ” Brennan smiled. “Think of it as a birthday present for my grandchildren.”
Cate was shocked. “That’s too much. I can’t accept this.”
” I’m giving it to Suzie and Lucas.” Brennan waved his hand. “Take it. I bought it back then to help the Lyons family tide over their difficulties, not because I wanted to live in it. To be honest, I don’t have any good memories there, but it’s different for the Lyons family—especially the two elders who have lived there for decades.”
Shaun instantly understood. “Dad, you mean…”
“Lyons Manor is a good place. There’s an orchard and a horse racing track. It’s very suitable for children to live in. I believe the children will like it very much, ” Brennan said, “It’ll be a waste for me to keep the manor but leave it empty.”
“But…”
“Take it, Cate,” Shaun said, “This is a present from my dad to the kids. He didn’t raise me when I was young, so it’s appropriate for him to show some responsibility for my children.”
“That’s right.” Brennan agreed.
“Then… I’ll thank you on behalf of the children. ” Cate did argue anymore.
At 9:00 p.m., the two of them left the villa.
Behind them, Brennan stood alone in the courtyard with his hands in his pockets.
Cate could not help but ask, “Your dad didn’t remarry?”
“No.” Shaun shook his head.
“I feel that he’s quite lonely all by himself. Is it because he can’t forget your mom? They’re both single right now…”
“Forget it. It’s different. My dad hates my mom. ” Shaun sighed. “The misunderstanding between them isn’t like ours. It also involves my grandmother. My grandmother was killed by Mason. If Dad hadn’t gotten entangled with my mom and Mason, all this wouldn’t have happened. “
Cate was slightly surprised. ” I didn’t expect that…”
“My mom already knows that my dad is back but she hasn’t gone to see him. She just doesn’t have the guts to see him, ” Shaun said. “My mom really made too many mistakes back then.”
Cate sighed.
It was true that Lea had made a lot of mistakes.
Since she was married back then, she should have kept her distance from Mason. That way, she would not have misunderstood Brennan time and again.
Between couples, the more they cared about each other, the more fragile the trust between them was.
She and Shaun used to be like that.
However, unlike Lea and Brennan’s marriage, Shaun had never slept with Sarah nor did they have children together—let alone get married.
Otherwise, she would not have gotten back together with him at all.
“Does your mom know that Liam is Brennan’s son?” Cate asked.
Shaun shook his head. “I didn’t tell her. I’m afraid she won’t be able to stand the shock.”
In addition to marrying a scumbag like Mason, if she also found out that the child from that year was not Mason’s at all, Lea might break down.
“Yes. Liam is already gone. If you tell her that… she might not be able to take it.” Cate thought about it from a woman’s point of view. ” If it were me, I might get the idea of taking Mason with me to m y grave. She gave so much for Mason, but she was treated as a joke in the end.”
“So let’s keep this matter a secret. ” Shaun gently held her hand. “Cate, I actually think that I’m much luckier than my mom. My dad is right. You’re smart and prevented me from getting married. If I only found out the truth in my 5os or 6os, I would also break down.”
“Don’t misunderstand. I didn’t want to stop you, I just didn’t want Sarah to succeed. ” Cate gave him a scornful look. “I also wanted you to see how good you looked while getting cuckolded.”
“You little scoundrel…”
Shaun pinched her palm in chagrin as his handsome face appeared slightly lonely. “Weren’t you jealous at all at that time?”
“I wasn’t jealous,” Cate said decisively, “You treated me so badly, but you wanted me to be jealous back then? Are you still dreaming? Or are you overestimating your charm? Do you want me to bring up the past?”
Shaun panicked at the last sentence. “Don’t, babe, I was wrong. I didn’t know better. You’re already tolerating me a lot for giving me a chance. I should know how to differentiate chalk from cheese.”
Cate was not angry, but she deliberately snorted coldly.
“Cate, we should cherish the present.” Shaun stroked her little hand gently.
“Yes, indeed.” Cate nodded in agreement. “At least, it’s my greatest happiness that my children are still safe and sound by my side.”
Shaun asked quietly, “Do you only have eyes for the children? What about me?”
“You?” Cate raised her brows and looked at him with a vague smile. “You’re a buy-two-get-one-free package. I don’t need you, but I can take you if I have to.”
Shaun was deeply hurt. He was a giveaway?
Should the gifts not be Lucas and Suzie instead? However, he did not dare to say it out loud. He was afraid that a giveaway prize like him would be thrown away.
“Yes, I’m a giveaway prize, like those free gifts you see on the streets. In that case, I’ll accompany you for life.” Shaun smiled and comforted himself.
Cate looked at his forced smile and could not bear to hit him.
“Cate, we should cherish the present, so come back with me to the Lyonss’ residence tonight…”
