“Knock it off. I’ll place my highest priority on the kids in the future. Don’t worry, I’m just leaving the kids
with you for the time being. I’ll take them back after Wesley is sent to jail.”
Shaun’s words made Catherine feel increasingly ashamed.
She felt that she had been a scummy mother these days.
“That’s good.” Shaun nodded. After pausing for an instant, he added gravely, “Don’t forget to bring me
with you too.”
Speechless, Catherine glared at him.
“Pass me my clothes.” Shaun directly took her clothes away.
By the time Catherine came to her senses, she recalled that her undergarments were also in his hands.
Her cheeks flushed, and she promptly replied, “It’s fine. I’ll dry them.”
“No way. With your current state, you’d better not head out. ” Shaun glanced at her chest flirtatiously.
Catherine froze right away.
When Suzie and Lucas learned that Catherine would be spending the night here, they were overjoyed.
She told the kids some stories and coaxed them to sleep. After that, she lay down and took a rest.
Although she was unfamiliar with this environment, she soon felt sleepy. She could smell the kids’ milky
scent.
Amid her deep sleep, there seemed to be a dip in the mattress. Subsequently, she was wrapped in a
warm embrace from behind.
When Catherine turned around drowsily, her arm ended up snaking around a man’s waist.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes.
Under the moonlight that poured in from the window, Shaun’s deep-set eyes were fixed on her. His
gaze was filled with affection and an unknown glint.
“Cathy…” The word came out of his elegant, thin lips softly.
Catherine’s sleepiness instantly vanished. If she had not considered the two kids who were sleeping
soundly beside her, she would have certainly leaped out of bed and kicked him in the crotch.
However, she could only try her best to control her emotions at this point. She kept her voice low and
asked with her teeth clenched, “Who gave you the permission to sleep here?”
“Didn’t you say that you’re willing to get back together with me?” Shaun’s luscious lashes fluttered
innocently.
Catherine zoned out at the sight of his fluttering lashes.
To her surprise, this man’s lashes were longer and more luscious than hers.
As his luscious lashes got closer to her, so did the man’s breath.
Seeing that he was about to kiss her, Catherine covered his mouth at once. She gnashed her teeth and
asked, “Who agreed to get back together with you?”
Shaun did not utter a word. He stared affectionately at her while holding her slim waist.
“Shaun…” Catherine kicked him in exasperation.
The noise on the bed made Suzie flip her body. Her hand then landed on Catherine’s arm.
At that moment, Catherine did not dare move around for fear that Suzie would be awake.
Shaun moved her hand away and whispered, “How can I speak if you’re covering my mouth? Cathy,
you’re not planning to remarry me, right? I understand that marriage has left a traumatic experience for
you, so I won’t force you. Let’s get back together first. We can slowly build our relationship. No matter
how many years it’ll take to build our relationship, I’ll always be here for you. We’ll only get married
when you feel like it. You can take liberties with me if you wish. I won’t mind.”
Catherine was frustrated with his behavior, yet she could not raise her voice. She had no choice but to
tell him off in a whisper, “Suzie is still immature yet you actually believed in her words? Who wants to
take liberties with you? Get lost.”
“I’m not going to get lost.” Shaun continued to hug her slim waist stubbornly.
“Get lost.”
“No.”
He even pushed his luck by lowering his head and locking lips with her.
His shameless behavior angered Catherine.
Her eyes wandered a little before she suddenly extended her hand and gripped Shaun’s neck.
Shaun shuddered and became so excited that his heartbeat immediately quickened. Then, he
muttered, “Cathy, my darling…”
