As Catherine spoke, tears rolled down.


    Shaun panicked when he saw it, and his heart was in great pain. "Don''t cry. I''m not bullying you. I just want to kiss you. If you don''t want to kiss, then I won''t do


    it."


    Toward the end of his sentence, his voice sounded a little upset and pitiful as well. He was like a dog who could not have its meat.


    Catherine grabbed the opportunity and pushed him away. She kept a far distance from him and dared not go near him anymore.


    Shaun sat up and clumsily buttoned up with one hand.


    Catherine did not want to be teased by him anymore, so she just turned around and walked out.


    However, when she sat in front of the office table and turned on herptop, she could notprehend the contents of a report she was reading.


    Shaun''s breath was still on her lips, and it made her feel like she was carrying heavy chains on her back. Nevertheless, it was an undeniable fact that she did not reject Shaun''s kiss.


    On the contrary, she would feel extremely ufortable whenever Wesley got close to her.


    Her heart gradually sank as she continued to think about it.


    Not long after, Shaun came out.


    Catherine acted as if she was working seriously and gave him a cold shoulder. That was because she realized that once Shaun opened his mouth, she felt as if he had gobbled her down. She would be put in a constantly defensive state.


    When a contraceptive pill that she just sawst night was ced in front of her, a pain arose in her heart out of anger. "Shaun, are you nning toe over every day and force me to eat this thing? Did you forget I just ate itst night? Too much is not good for the body."


    Shaun''s arm stiffened. After a long moment, he said with mixed feelings, "Who knows if Wesley will touch you tonight..."


    Catherine shut herptop. She was silent for half a minute before she gritted her teeth and said, "Aren''t you just hoping that I don''t get pregnant with Wesley''s child? You don''t have to give me those contraceptives anymore because I already had his child." 1


    Shaun''s body trembled. He said with a smile, "Cathy, don''t lie to me."


    "I''m not lying."


    Catherine stood up abruptly and said with determination, "Wesley and I have a child who''s a little more than two years old. When Wesley was with me in the US back then, I had that child after we had sex under the influence of alcohol." 3


    She could not be tangled up in this weird rtionship with Shaun anymore. Althoughst night made her realize that she might still have some feelings for Shaun, she could no longer do Wesley wrong. 1


    Shaun gazed at her in a daze. Slowly, his handsome face started to turn grim. His hands, which were resting by his thighs, gradually clenched into fists. However, his thin lips were still smiling stubbornly." Cathy, do you think I believe you? You said you have a child. Where is that child?"


    "I wanted to seduce you and get revenge on you after I came back, so I didn''t keep that child by my side."


    Catherine pressed her lips together with mixed feelings. In fact, she had already thought of that excuse right after she came back from the US. Firstly, that excuse could hide Lucas''s identity naturally. Secondly, it could provoke and hurt Shaun.


    After that, she went through a lot of things and gave up on using that excuse. She also gave up on the thought of getting revenge on Shaun.


    The reason she used this excuse again now was not to get revenge on him but to make him give uppletely.


    "I don''t believe it."


    Shaun shook his head. Even if his heart was filled with overwhelming dread and fear, he still stubbornly denied it. "You already have Wesley''s child, yet you came to seduce me and even had sex with me before. Would Wesley agree to that?" "He can''t disagree with my ns because the birth of that child was an ident." Catherine averted her gaze. She did not want to look into his eyes that were about to lose control. "Initially, I wanted to wait until you had fallen too deeply in love with me, then tell you about the child. It was a kind of revenge on you too. However, I gave up on the thought of getting revenge on you afterward. In fact, you know about this too. The child has been by my side all along, raised at my dad''s ce. You can choose not to believe it, but you will after you see the child''s appearance." 3


    The boy whom Shaun saw at the preschool shed across his mind all of a sudden.


    When Shaun met that boy for the first time, he thought that boy looked very simr to Catherine. However, he found out after that the boy seemed to be Joel''s nephew''s child.


    Could it be that... the child was actually... Catherine''s?


    "That child... goes to the same preschool... as Suzie, right?" His throat struggled to say that sentence.
