“Can you focus on driving?” Cate did not answer his question.
“Do you really want to live like this with me forever, without remarrying?” Shaun’s tone sounded a little pitiful.
The more she shone, the more she was praised. Although he was proud, he still felt a little uneasy.
After all, if they were not married, they would never be legally recognized as husband and wife.
“I’m not even divorced yet. How can I remarry you?” Cate glanced at him. “Besides, why should we remarry? I think that what we have now is quite nice.”
Shaun was speechless.
That’s not good. ” Cate shook her head while eating her Haagen-Dazs ice cream.
Shaun’s handsome face darkened. “Then let them sleep. It’s just for one night. Aunty Yasmine will take care of them. Our alone time only happens once a month.”
“No, you always pester me after the children are asleep. ” Cate blushed and rolled her eyes at him. He kept saying he could not do it, but he still liked to do naughty things, and he always made her feel antsy.
“That’s different. Those are all sneaky touches. ” Shaun was very sad. “Besides, it’s just kissing and touching. We don’t do anything else.”
The topic brought up his pain again.
Cate was most afraid of him talking about this matter, so she hurriedly said, “Alright. Of course, it’ll be different after having children. You can’t always think about having alone time with me. The children have to go to preschool during the day, but they wish we could accompany them too. Children are only clingy at this age.”
Shaun said helplessly, “When I didn’t have children with you before, I wanted children a lot, but now that I have children, I feel like they’re the third wheel…”
“Shaun Lyons, if you say one more word, I’m ignoring you.” Cate feigned anger and glared at him.
This man really was… Children were so cute, yet he called them a third wheel.
“Babe, I was wrong.” Shaun hurriedly leaned over and kissed her mouth. “Babe, your mouth is so sweet.”
“Duh. I’m eating ice cream.” Cate pushed him away with a burning face. “Don’t bother me when I’m eating.”
Then, she shoved the spoon in her mouth.
A teasing glint flashed in Shaun’s eyes. “I want to eat too.”
After that, Shaun sealed her lips with his.
When Cate realized how he wanted to ¡®eat’ the ice cream, her toes curled in embarrassment.
They had agreed to watch a movie together, but they could not remember anything about it. The two of them leaned against each other and ate ice cream secretly. Fortunately, there were only six other people scattered in the cinema hall, two of which were a couple as well, far away from them.
When they came out, Shaun reminisced. “That was the most delicious ice cream I had in my life.”
Cate pretended not to understand him. The more she communicated with him, the more embarrassing things he would say.
However, Shaun refused to let it drop. He said with a grin, “I get it now. It wasn’t the ice cream that was sweet. It was you.”
“Come here, babe. Let me taste it again.” Shaun leaned over cheekily.
Suddenly, a sneer sounded from the side. “Public morals are degenerating with each passing day.
Kissing another man before getting divorced? It really is true that a shameless person isn’t afraid of anything.”
Cate turned around to see two women in their twenties looking at her with disdain. The woman who spoke was wearing a floral print dress. She was Hannah Mead, the person who had once pursued Shaun, as well as Senator Mead’s daughter.
“Hannah, who is she?” The friend beside Hannah pretended to be ignorant.
“She’s Wesley’s wife.” Hannah deliberately glanced at Shaun.
These days, she had seen the news outlets online talking about Shaun, whom she had never expected to be strong enough to bring down the Campos family. After the fall of Campos Corporation, Lyons Corporation was investigated, and she thought that Shaun would meet his end this time. However, unexpectedly, his manipulation even changed the person in charge of Australia.
This man was scary and resourceful. Of course, that only made the man more attractive to her.
Senator Mead had been nagging in her ear recently that if she had managed to snag Shaun, maybe her father would have been qualified to be the prime minister.
The more she thought about it, the more she wanted Shaun for herself.
Her friend covered her mouth in shock. “She’s so bold even when she’s having an affair.”
“Exactly. She doesn’t care at all. Even though she clearly has a husband, she lives openly in another man’s house and kisses him in public. How utterly shameless. She’s a disgrace to women,” Hanna said rudely.
Cate was unaffected as she had seen all sorts of gossip on the Internet.
However, Shaun’s expression darkened. “It’s none of your goddamn business if we kiss. It’s better than you, a lady from an influential family shameless enough to drug a man. How hungry were you?
Unfortunately, even if you stripped naked and stood in front of me, I’d still be uninterested in you.”
Hannah immediately lost her temper. “Shaun Lyons, don’t slander me. I’m telling you, my dad has been promoted, and he’s now standing on top of the pyramid. You’d better be more polite to me, or I’d make sure you die without even knowing how.”
“With such a stupid daughter like you, I think what your dad really needs to worry about is his career.”
Shaun held Cate and left. “Let’s go. Ignore them.”
“You’re afraid, aren’t you?” Hannah said furiously, “I’m telling you, Wesley will never let you two off.”
At the mention of Wesley’s name, Shaun and Cate stopped at the same time and turned back to look at Hannah.
Hannah sneered proudly to see them stop. “I won’t tell you, but you’ll find out for yourselves soon.
Before that, I’ll tell you this, Shaun. If you have nowhere left to go in the future, you can come and beg me. Perhaps I’ll give you a chance.”
Then, she held her friend’s hand and left.
Cate’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.
Shaun pulled her hand. “Ignore her. Her dad is a nobody.”
“But she’s not wrong. Her father’s status is very different now.” Cate remembered that the Mead and Snow families worked closely together. Now that Nathan was on top, Senator Mead would naturally move up the ladder too. He might really be standing at the top of the pyramid.
“So what?” Shaun said dismissively, ” I don’t care about that. But judging by Hannah’s tone, do you think Wesley has played up to the Mead family? “
Cate also found it very strange. Wesley had spent a lot of effort to curry favor with Senator Mead previously. However, after the accident during the birthday party Senator Mead hosted, he embarrassed Senator Mead, who ended up hating Wesley. Logically speaking, their paths should not intersect.
“It seems like Wesley really has some tactics.” Shaun frowned deeply. “I didn’t pay much attention to him because of Lyons Corporation’s affairs. Yet now, not only has he signed a big contract with a foreign company, but he has even built a relationship with Senator Mead. I just don’t understand. Wesley’s reputation is notorious. Why does Senator Mead need him?”
Cate also did not understand it, and she felt uncomfortable. “My biggest regret in my life was marrying Wesley. It’s harder to divorce him than it was to divorce you.”
“I wonder who it was back then who told me that he was a good man and that she wanted to live with him?” Shaun spat sourly.
Cate was so upset that she did not want to say anything.
He knew that she was upset about this, yet he still provoked her at a time like this.
“Well, don’t worry. I’ll call Chester and ask him about the current situation at Golden Corporation.”
After Shaun brought her to the car, he immediately called Chester. “Where are you?”
“Hospital.”
Shaun looked at the time and was surprised. “It’s so late, and you’re still in the hospital? Was there a surgery?”
“Do you need something?” Chester was clearly unwilling to answer the question.
“I want to ask about Golden Corporation’s situation,” Shaun said. “Golden Corporation’s stock prices have been skyrocketing recently.”
“Yeah. Wesley has signed a partnership with Country T. Country T is not as advanced as Australia, and there’s insufficient supply and demand in their pharmaceutical market. Wesley opened up the market there and signed a ten-year partnership plan. The outside world is very optimistic about it, so Golden Corporation’s stock prices soared.” Chester added, “I didn’t tell you because you were busy. I was afraid that you’d feel pressured.”
Shaun frowned. “Wesley was almost at the end of his rope. How did he open the market at Country T” I guess it had something to do with the Zeller family, ” Chester said. “Someone from the Zeller family has once served as a diplomat in Country T for ten years and is very familiar with the local politicians.”
Shaun immediately came to and became ashen from anger.
