He quickly took a deep breath and contained his feelings as much as he could.
“Why are you here?” Cate glared at him with disbelief without realizing how amusing she appeared. ” Shaun, this is my room. Who allowed you to enter? Where’s my dad?”
“When I came in, Uncle Joel had already gone to work. It was the housekeeper at the gate who let me in.” Shaun blinked with an innocent and natural expression. “I want to send the kids to preschool. When I entered the room, I noticed that you were snoring loudly in your sleep while the kids were already awake. Suzie didn’t seem to know how to brush her teeth, so I helped her wash up and braided her hair. Right, Suzie?”
He lowered his head to look at his daughter.
Suzie nodded, completely unaware that something was not right with the atmosphere in the bedroom. She looked into the mirror and was caught up with her pretty appearance. “Mommy, do I look beautiful today?”
Cate’s mouth twitched.
If only her daughter could pay attention to what was happening. At this point, all Suzie cared about was her beauty.
Shaun’s description of her snoring loudly in her sleep made her embarrassed.
As a mother, she was sleeping like a log when her kids were already awake.
“Sure you do. ” After replying to Suzie’s question perfunctorily, Cate said to Shaun furiously, ” Even so, you shouldn’t have barged into my room. A distinction should be made between a man and a woman, alright? We’ve gotten a divorce, so I’m currently a single, unmarried woman.
Did he know how hard it was for her to be a single, unmarried woman?
Shaun raised his brows. “I thought that… we’re already very close to each other, so we don’t have to mind that. After all, we already have children.”
Cate responded in a huff, “Just because we have children, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t keep a distance. Otherwise, people might assume that I’m still in a relationship with you. It’ll be unfavorable for me to get a new partner then.”
“You’re planning to get a new partner, huh?” Shaun curled his lips and smiled pensively.
For some reason, Cate found his smile a little creepy. She immediately glowered at him. “It’s none of your business.”
“I’m not meddling in your business. I’m just asking.”
Shaun turned his head and continued braiding Suzie’s hair.
Suzie was not stupid. She simply pretended as if she did not hear or see anything. Anyway, no matter who Mom decided to be with, the fact that Shaun was her dad could not be erased.
It was better to take the opportunity to enslave this dad of hers.
“It looks nice, right? Our Suzie will definitely be the prettiest little princess when you go to preschool today. ” Shaun flattered Suzie while smiling. That put Suzie in a pleasant mood.
After that, Shaun helped Suzie to change her clothes as well.
He brought the two children downstairs to have breakfast.
It was a rare morning when Cate did not have to take care of the two children. After staring into space for a moment, she simply lay on the bed and continued sleeping.
After all, Shaun was taking care of the kids. Why did she have to work tirelessly every day when she could make use of the children’s biological father? She was not a fool.
She still had to rest when it was time to rest. There was no need to carry all the responsibilities herself.
After Cate came to that conclusion, she fell asleep again.
When she woke up, the sun was already high up in the sky.
She looked at the time. It was 11:00 a.m. She sat up and looked at her phone.
As expected, today’s news was all related to Wesley and Hannah. There were even seven or eight trending topics about them. [Golden Corporation’s Medicine is Substandard. 123 Countries Overseas are Boycotting the Medicine.]
[Wesley Sanderson Suspected of Bribery, Arrested for Investigation], [Wesley Sanderson Suspected of Kidnapping A Foreigner], [Wesley, Jeffery, Sally, and Rosabella Involved in goo Billion US Dollars Fraud], [Wesley Sanderson Allegedly Killed His Biological Nephew, His Sister Sonya Sanderson Already Handed In Related Evidence of the Crime], [Wesley and Hannah Suspected of Endangering the Country], [Minister Gavin Mead and Family Arrested for Allegedly Jeopardizing the Country’s Safety]…
As the news was too sudden, the whole of Australia and even other countries were shocked.
The buzz on the internet made history since the last big news tens of years ago.
[Oh my gosh, how many crimes did Wesley commit? Kidnap, murder, jeopardizing the country’s safety, and fraud. Is he trying to go against the heavens?]
[This person is finally arrested. I’m so happy. I was disgusted ever since I saw the scandalous video of him and his secretary. He even became the wealthiest man in Australia afterward. I could only laugh in sarcasm. Even such trash could become the richest man. I understand now. He relied on fraud to achieve that. If our country’s economy were to be led by this kind of person, I reckon our economy will be done for in a few years.]
[Wait, he even murdered his biological nephew? Is he still human?]
[Gavin and his family were arrested too. I’ve seen pictures of Gavin and Wesley at a few public events. They looked pretty close. It’s obvious that they were trying to start a revolt and got caught in the end. Thank God they’ve been arrested.]
[You’re right. Canberra has completely changed. Many people were caught during Gavin’s birthday banquet yesterday. They cornered the prime minister openly. Luckily, the prime minister had his guard up beforehand. Not only that, the identity of the person whom Wesley kidnapped isn’t ordinary. I heard that person is the heir of the world’s wealthiest and most mysterious family.
Wesley is past saving indeed. His arrest this time will surely end up in a death sentence. It’s an unchangeable fact.]
[Ha, do you know why he refused to divorce Cate? Because Cate’s mother is an oil tycoon and she’s rich. Wesley married and wooed Cate before just because of this. Everything about him is fake, including his love.]
[Please don’t scare me. When did Cate have a mother who’s an oil tycoon?]
[It’s true. It’s just that Cate didn’t know about it. Wesley took Cate’s hair and had Rosabella pretend to be that family’s daughter. That’s why Wesley is being suspected of fraud. Everything has been exposed now. The police at the station didn’t sleep for the whole night last night to review Wesley’s case. He committed too many crimes.]
Cate was amazed. She had to acknowledge the netizens’ strength in obtaining information.
Not many people knew that she was Sheryl’s daughter. It was unknown how that information was leaked.
She was even on the trending searches, and there were rumors that she would be one of the top five wealthiest people among those born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
It was totally ridiculous.
Cate had no intention of acknowledging Sheryl as her mother, not to mention inheriting her assets. Those people must be bored out of their minds.
She was starting to feel hungry. She got up, changed into casual clothes, and went downstairs. The housekeeper, Aunty Cally, was watering the flowers on the balcony.
“Aunty Cally, is there still breakfast? I’m a little hungry.”
Cate asked while rubbing her eyes.
“Breakfast? There is, but it’s all cold and it’s almost time for lunch…” Aunty Cally’s gaze was slightly strange.
” It’s okay. I’ll just have something simple to eat. “
Cate did not notice Aunty Cally’s gaze. She was just puzzled. Usually, Aunty Cally would already be preparing lunch at this hour. Why was she still watering flowers?
Cate walked into the kitchen. She was stunned when she saw the towering figure inside that had its back toward her.
Were her eyes seeing things?
Why was she seeing Shaun in the kitchen of her house, wearing an apron?
When Shaun turned around, revealing the blue- checkered apron on his waist, Cate’s pretty eyes widened instantly. The look on her face was utterly adorable.
Shaun smiled when he saw that. “You must be hungry. I made you a honey sponge cake and blended some fruit juice. You can have these first, but don’t eat until you’re too full. It’ll be lunchtime soon.”
His tone was very natural as if this was his house and she was his wife. Everything just felt very natural.
Cate felt uncomfortable. “Shaun, why are you in my kitchen? Aren’t you supposed to be sending Suzie and Lucas to preschool? Why haven’t you left yet?”
“I left and came back again.” Shaun was holding a plate, and there was a slice of honey sponge cake on it. In his other hand was a glass of fruit juice. “Do you want me to feed you?”
Cate looked at the slice of cake in shock. “You made this? Impossible.”
She remembered that Shaun’s cooking was not very good. It was just edible.
However, the cake in front of her looked just like those sold in bakeries.
“I made it. Your housekeeper can prove it,” Shaun said with a serious tone.
Cate eyed him from head to toe with complicated feelings. “Did you get reincarnated that even your cooking skills have improved?”
“Were my cooking skills terrible in the past?” Shaun was puzzled.
“It was so-so. Anyway, you couldn’t bake a cake back then. I never wanted a second slice after finishing the first slice, ” Cate said honestly.
