Chapter 2

Author: Shallow South
Freya was momentarily dumbfounded. She then showed Catherine a thumbs up right away.

“Great! What a great idea! I’m on your side! His uncle’s appearance is perfect. Even Ethan isn’t as good-looking as his uncle. His uncle’s wealth and power are also comparable to that of the Lowe family.”

“I need to remind you that you have to find an excellent match or your position in Jones Corporation will be inferior to Rebecca’s. So I think his uncle is suitable for you!”

Catherine was dazed for a second. Freya might be straightforward, but what she said was true.

If Rebecca had the Lowe family backing her, Catherine’s position in Jones Corporation would be at stake.

“Okay, I’m going to capture his heart right now!”

Catherine snatched Freya’s purse on impulse to search for lipstick and foundation.

Her pure face soon looked radiant.

Freya blinked. “Uh, are you sure you can deal with him?”

“He’s just a man, isn’t he? Hah!”

Catherine swept her hair over one shoulder, then held a half-full glass of red wine. With a tipsy and pretty look, she walked toward the man proudly.

The closer she got to the man, the clearer his exquisitely handsome face became. His clean, somber eyebrows and exquisite nose bridge were nothing short of attractive.

“Hi. Sorry to bother you, but could you tell me the time now?”

Catherine tapped her finger on his shoulder twice.

When the man opened his drunken eyes under the dim light, the word ‘devil’ flashed through Catherine’s mind.

He had a brain fart for a few seconds. After regaining her senses, she wore a pretty smile and said, “I think our first encounter here is the start of our happiness.”

With furrowed brows, Shaun Hill coldly said, “I’m not a doctor. I don’t provide treatment.”

“What?”

“You’re insane, aren’t you?” The man’s sexy lips moved slightly. Nevertheless, the words that came out of his mouth were extremely mean.

“...”

At that moment, Catherine felt like getting a mirror to take a hard look at herself.

Was she not pretty? Really?

Anyway, it was impossible to grasp men’s thoughts. Otherwise, Ethan would not have betrayed her.

“I’m actually ill. I’m not insane but lovesick.”

Catherine swiftly calmed down and gave an embarrassed smile. “I started getting lovesick when I met you for the first time.”

When Shaun raised his eyebrows a little, Catherine immediately seized the opportunity to say, “They say one can’t help feeling happy when they meet the love of their life, and this is exactly how I’m feeling at the moment.”

“Alright, I got it. You may leave now.”

The man averted his eyes away from her in a careless manner. From his expression, it seemed that he was unbothered by her.

Catherine was deeply hurt. She was a great beauty and the pride of Sydney. At this moment, she had the urge to turn away. The moment she pictured herself becoming Ethan’s aunt, however, she summoned up the courage to talk to him again.

“Pretty boy, could I add your contact to my WhatsApp?”

Lying on the couch lazily with his eyes closed, Shaun looked delicately elegant.

“Pretty boy, could you give me your number?

“Pretty boy, could you tell me your name?

“Pretty boy, you look so charming with your eyes closed that women just find it irresistible.”

“...”

Annoyed by the completely shameless owner of the voice, Shaun opened his eyes and asked in annoyance, “What on earth do you want?”

“I want to marry you,” Catherine blurted out.

The corners of Shaun’s mouth twitched.

While smiling, Catherine added, “If I’m really not planning on marrying you, what I’ve just said would show that I’m a scumbag. Actually, I’m quite a catch. I’m 22 this year, and I graduated from the University of New South Wales. I’m a competent woman who does well both at home and in public. Moreover, I’ll pamper my husband. I’m capable of earning money too. I’m healthy and don’t have any bad habits. Above all, I’m not a fickle lover.”

Shaun was speechless.

He massaged the space between his eyes, then gazed at her strangely.

Catherine raised her hand. “I can swear that from now on, I’ll only treat you well and promise you everything I’ve said…”

“Shut up.”

Shaun was so fed up with her that he stood up.

Only when Catherine looked up did she realize that he was really tall. He was close to six feet and two inches, and furthermore, he had such a wonderful figure.

“If you want to marry me, bring your birth certificate and meet me at the registry office at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.”

The man stared down at her with one hand in his pocket.

Catherine was dumbfounded. She then stammered, “Are you lying to me?”

“You can give it a go.” Upon looking away, Shaun turned around and swaggered to leave.

    The plot twist happened so quickly that Catherine suspected she had drunk too much.Such a thought remained until Freya came to tap her on the shoulder. She said sympathetically, “Don’t get too upset. It’s not easy to capture the heart of a tall, wealthy, and handsome man. Keep it up—”“No. He told me to meet him at the entrance of the registry office tomorrow at 10 a.m.,” Catherine replied with a dazed look.“...”Freya remained uncannily quiet for a moment before she burst out laughing. “Congratulations on becoming Ethan’s aunt!”Catherine asked, “You believe it?”Freya forcefully pinched Catherine’s soft face.“Why not? Please. With your naturally pure look, you can easily beat those young ladies in the entertainment industry. If I were a man, I’d fall in love with you at first sight. Let’s go and have a drink to celebrate your marriage.” Catherine seriously wondered how much Freya had drunk while she was away.However, Catherine began to have a hangover after drinking alc

    Catherine took a taxi directly to the Jones family’s house. At that time, Mr. Jones had already gone to work.She rushed upstairs to take her birth certificate. Just as she walked to the living room, she saw Rebecca coming out of the study with a large pile of documents.Rebecca looked pure with a black bob and a pristine face.“You’re finally back, Sis. I was still worried about what happened yesterday.” A guilty look spread across Rebecca’s face. “It’s just that Ethan is really not into you. You can’t force someone to love you.”Catherine shot her a cold gaze. “Enough is enough. You can stop acting since there’s no one else here. I underestimated you before this.”“Don’t treat me this way.” Rebecca bit her lip, her tears streaming down her face. “I’ll just yield to your demands in the future, okay? I won’t get involved in matters related to the company. I’ll pass you these documents.”As she was speaking, she shoved the documents into Catherine’s hands.Catherine found it stra

    Shaun froze and remained silent.The cameraman was inwardly sympathetic toward him. It was a pity that a good-looking man like him was suffering from facial paralysis. After Shaun and Catherine were done taking pictures, they headed to the first floor to register their marriage.It was only when Shaun took out his citizenship certificate that Catherine finally learned his real name—Shaun Hill. However, Ethan’s mother’s surname was Lyons. In that case, his uncle’s surname was supposed to be Lyons as well.In a daze, Catherine asked, “Why is your surname Hill?”“Uh-huh.”As Shaun was lowering his head to sign the documents, he did not bother to know what she meant. He casually answered, “I adopted my mom’s surname.”“Oh.” Catherine finally understood. She had been filled with fear earlier, thinking that it was a case of mistaken identity.She flirted with him for the very reason that he was Ethan’s uncle. However, she felt that something was somehow not right.Ten minutes l

    Catherine was speechless.Shaun should have explained this earlier.She had spent the past few hours worrying about being a stepmother!A feeling of helplessness washed over her.Despite that, the chubby cat with clean fur was adorable. She stepped forward, intending to pinch its fat cheeks, but the cat dashed into the master bedroom at the speed of lightning. The master bedroom was a place she was not yet qualified to step foot in. Catherine let out a sigh at the rejection. Then, she scanned around the house that had three bedrooms and two living areas. There was a master bedroom, a guest room, and a study.The interior of the house was decorated in a minimalist, modern style using black, white, and gray as its main color scheme. It was pleasant to the eyes but gave out a cold and cheerless vibe at the same time. The renovation probably did not cost much.Was this really the residence of Ethan’s uncle?The man was supposed to be a successful entrepreneur. It was one thing

    Shaun did not know what to reply. He massaged the space between his eyebrows and accepted the message request.[Hubby, will you be home for dinner?] Catherine sent another text within seconds.Shaun: [No. Don’t call me that.]Shaunerine: [Fine then, I’ll call you Shaunny. It’s a cute name.]He did not know what else to say.Was it too late to back out of the marriage arrangement?Later that night.The group of people was enjoying dinner in the interestingly designed courtyard-style restaurant. The bunch of lawyers exchanged their opinions on the new cases recently taken in by the law firm. Shaun listened absent-mindedly when he heard a notification alert on his phone again. Catherine sent him a picture. Under the illumination of the soft yellow lights, the chubby cat was indulging itself in a small treat of dried fish. Shaunerine: [Shaunny, don’t worry about us. I’m taking such good care of little Fudge.]Shaun sighed grudgingly. The greedy cat had been bribed effortles

    “It’s a must to enjoy warm pancakes with high-quality butter. Then, a sip of hot chocolate to go down with it.”Catherine continued on with the eating show.She was savoring every bite of food in earnest. Taking her pretty face into account as well, her performance was way more entertaining and convincing than the other eating broadcast shows available. Shaun could not take any more of this.“Meow.” At the same time, Fudge leaped onto the dining table while wagging its tail. Thinking the cat must be hungry, he walked over to the cupboard. He returned with a plate of cat food and placed it before Fudge. Fudge sniffed it for a few seconds before turning its head away. It looked at Catherine with greedy eyes.An awkward expression flashed across the man’s face.She suppressed the desire to laugh before feeding the cat a small piece of the cinnamon roll. The little cat devoured it within seconds.“Good kitty.”She patted the cat on the head lovingly. ‘You have much better tast

    Catherine felt as if someone had punched her in the chest. The intense pain was suffocating, especially when Ethan’s indifferent gaze swept past her without lingering for a second longer.James hurried toward Rebecca. “HQ has given the order to hand this project over to Rebecca.”A shudder passed through Catherine before she turned to face the other woman. “Cathy, don’t get upset.” Rebecca staggered backward as if she was utterly shocked. Fortunately, Ethan had his hand on the small of her back.This scene only aggravated the situation.“Rebecca, what more do you want? You’ve already stolen my man and now you’re trying to snatch away the project that I spent so much time and effort on. Are you really that envious of everything I have?”“How ridiculous! Since when was Young Master Lowe your man?” James scoffed. “You’re quite something, aren’t you? You’ve been pestering Young Master Lowe in the past, but he hasn’t shown any interest in you at all. Besides, do you think you could’v

    Catherine forced out a self-deprecating smile.Ever since joining the company, not once had she pulled rank. She always worked with much caution and conscientiousness. She would be the last one to leave the office every day, working overtime and treating everyone else with respect at all times. It was unexpected that things would end up like this.After leaving the company, she walked around the area alone without a specific destination in mind. During that time, Ethan called her a few times but she refused to answer his calls.She headed back to Jadeite Bay after buying some snacks and ingredients from the supermarket.As soon as she stepped foot into the house, Fudge came forward to greet her while wagging its tail in the air. She patted the cat on its head and murmured, “Fudge, you’re the only one left that likes me now.”“Meow,” the cat replied. It closed its eyes in satisfaction, giving the woman full permission to stroke it. The corners of her lips twitched into a sm

    Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity

    A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester

    Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its

    “You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis

    Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do

    Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in

    “I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y

    “Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it.

    Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
