Hadley smiled bitterly. “What can you do? It might be possible if Young Master Lyons was fine, but he currently has the IQ of a two-year-old… The both of you aren’t married either, so you have no right to interfere. Besides… Wesley and you are still technically husband and wife… If you step in, others might retaliate and accuse you of colluding with Wesley to annex Lyons Corporation.”
Cate thought about Lea, who was still a shareholder.
Lea might possess a strong business acumen but she was no match for Wesley’s malice and guile.
“I’ll train Shaun back to how he once was as soon as possible. I’ve discovered that he’s actually not stupid, so it’s not like this problem is hopeless. As long as we kick Wade away and prevent Jeffery from entering the company, Wesley’s plan won’t work.”
Cate mused, “Rosabella bought Lyons Corporation with the money that Sheryl gave her, so Sheryl is qualified to reclaim her shares. It won’t fall into Jeffery’s hand.”
“But Sheryl and Jeffery are siblings. Will she do it?”
“…We’ll cross the bridge when we get there.” Cate sighed.
Now, she only hoped that Titus could quickly cure Sheryl’s illness.
Aunty Yasmine was done cooking when Hadley left.
Old Madam and Old Master Lyons were not pleased when they saw Shaun’s silly expression.
“Mom, Dad, don’t worry. Shaun will get better.” Lea comforted the two elders. “And… This is quite good too. Shaun’s childhood had always been miserable. Now that he has returned to his younger self, he gave us parents a chance to redeem ourselves. We’ ll give him a happy childhood this time.”
Old Master Lyons snorted. “What rubbish are you spouting? A perfectly good man was reduced to this. The rest of the world will laugh at him. Besides, do you really think he needs you to give him a childhood? Do you think he relies on you as a mother?”
Lea was embarrassed.
It was obvious that Shaun had been clinging to Cate since they sat at the table. Yet, he refused to talk to her and every cell in his body seemed to say ¡®I’m not happy. Hurry up and coax me’.
Old Madam Lyons’s heart softened when she saw him. “Shaun wasn’t this cute when he was young.”
“Come, Shaun. Have this drumstick. You have to eat more to be healthy, ” she said as she handed him a drumstick.
When Shaun turned and saw the Old Madam’s kind face, his heart softened and he quickly held out his bowl to catch the drumstick. He said politely,” Thank you, Grandma.”
“Oh, what a good boy.” Old Madam Lyons was overwhelmed with emotions. “Oh, I never would’ve imagined a day I’d see our Shaun behave so obediently. I hadn’t fulfilled my duty as a grandmother in the past too. I’ll have to treat him better in the future. Old man, you’re not allowed to be as strict with Shaun as you were when he was a child.”
“I know.” Old Master Lyons was heartbroken too.
Throughout the meal, the Lyons family desperately tried to make it up to Shaun.
Contrastingly, Shaun was not as excited as they were. He ate only half a drumstick and pouted before running off to the toy room.
“Cate, what happened? Did you fight?” Lea asked worriedly.
Cate was a little taken aback. Was he unhappy because she glared at him earlier?
He was indeed childish. Sigh.
Not even Suzie was that petty.
Old Madam Lyons frowned. “It’s not good if he doesn’ t eat. Lea, why don’t you feed him? Didn’ t you say you wanted to paint a more colorful childhood for him?”
Lea was ashamed and stuttered, “It’s not that I don’t want to feed him, it’s just he doesn’t want me to feed him.”
“Hmph, useless.” Old Master Lyons glared at her expressionlessly.
Lea.”…”
“Grandma, I’ll feed him later.” Cate smiled to defuse the awkwardness. “Shaunny listens to me.”
Old Madam Lyons laughed. “You thought he had the IQ of a two—year—old but I’d beg to differ. Which two-year-old cling to their wife instead of their mother? If you ask me, I’d say that even though he doesn’t have any memories, his heart remembers the person he likes the most, and that’s Cate.”
Old Master Lyons nodded in agreement.
Cate was embarrassed to hear this, but she was in fact beaming internally.
After all, Shaun did treat her differently.
She quickly ate up and brought the bowl to the playroom.
As she left, she heard Suzie telling everyone softly, ” When Shaunny told Mommy to kiss him, Mommy only kissed his forehead. He didn’t seem to like being kissed on the forehead, so he was unhappy the entire time he played with us.”
Cate stumbled and almost fell down.
She was abashed to the point she wanted to burrow into the ground. Suzie was such a busybody.
Old Madam Lyons chuckled. “I told you. It’s clear that he wanted to be kissed by his wife. Being young and in love is such a wonderful thing.”
Cate. “…”
She just imagined a row of crows flying over her head. With flushed cheeks, she went to deal with Shaun.
In the toy room.
Shaun stared at the door with a dazed expression while fidgeting with his favorite building block in his hand.
However, he was not in the mood to play with it at all. Depressed, he was wondering when Cate would come and cheer him up.
If she did not cheer him up, he would not be in the mood to play with toys, watch cartoons, or eat.
Amid his thoughts, he suddenly heard familiar footsteps.
Upon hearing the footsteps, he knew it was Cate.
Shaun promptly drooped his head and pretended to be seriously playing with the building blocks. He acted as though he could not be bothered about her.
No one knew that his heart was racing madly when the footsteps stopped at the door.
Why was he feeling like this? Was he sick?
“You enjoy playing with building blocks, huh?” Cate squatted beside him with a grin on her exquisite face. “Let’s go to the mall tomorrow to buy more building blocks, alright?”
“No.” Shaun rejected her outright and even looked away like a softie.
“Are you still angry? How petty of you.” Feeling amused, Cate cupped his face with her elbows on his knees. “Do you know why I glared at you this morning?”
” I don’ t know, and I don’ t want to know either.” Shaun snorted, but he could not help but look sideways at her.
It amused Cate so much to see his behavior contrast his words, but she tried to suppress her laughter. She approached him and said, “I know you wanted me to kiss you on the lips and not on the forehead, but Suzie and Lucas were around. I was embarrassed…”
“What’s embarrassing?” Shaun could not figure it out.
“Kissing is something that we can only do when no one else is around. I don’t want anyone else to see it. This is a private matter. You don’t see anyone kissing in public, do you?”
“People do that on TV, ” Shaun immediately answered, “I saw it on TV this morning.”
Cate was speechless.
Her head ached. What the hell did he watch with Suzie and Lucas? Why was he precocious now? By the look of things, she needed to educate Suzie and Lucas.
“The shows on TV are different.” Cate’s head hurt as she did not know how to explain to him. ” Anyway, that’s that. If you’re not happy with it, I won’t kiss you anymore.”
Upon hearing her menacing tone, Shaun was frightened. He clutched her hand and said in a domineering tone, “No way.”
With that, Cate said gently, ” Suzie and Lucas are my kids, but you’re different. As I said, you’re my lover. Not only will we kiss, but we’ll also have lots of… other intimate acts. We can’t act intimately in front of others. It’s a matter of privacy.”
Her words left Shaun feeling perplexed. Nevertheless, he understood the sentence ¡®you’re my lover’.
Deep down, he was delighted. “But who do you love most? Sister Suzie, Brother Lucas, or me?”
“My love for them is different. You’ll understand it in the future.” Cate looked grave. “Don’t address them as ¡®Sister Suzie’ and ¡®Brother Lucas’ anymore. Just call them by their names.”
“Oh.” Shaun pouted. “I got it. I’m not your only love.”
