    Chapter 174


    “There’s no need for that as I’m not interested in knowing. Since they’ve dumped me, it means that I’m


    not needed. There’s no point in exploring the painful experience.”


    Catherine shook her head and said with discontent, “I just feel that life is unfair. Why are people like the


    Jones family able to turn things around and achieve great sess so easily? With that, they get to


    continue doing evil things.”


    In the face of a big enterprise like Hudson, she clearly knew that she was incapable of opposing them.


    Wesley hesitated for a moment, then said all of a sudden, “I can help you if you agree—”


    “No need,” Catherine interrupted his sentence.


    “Cathy, everything I saidst night is true. I want to marry you,” Wesley sincerely added, “I treat your


    enemy as my enemy.”


    Catherine shook her head straight away.


    She got married for the sake of revenge, and she regretted it. She did not want to repeat the mistake.


    Gripping the steering wheel, Wesley said weakly, “If it was Shaun who said this to you instead, would


    you agree?”


    A look of astonishment shed across Catherine’s eyes. She lifted her head and understood Wesley’s


    behavior in an instant. Wesley had probably noticed the way she answered Shaun’s call earlier.


    “Both of you have known each other since a long time ago, right?” With his quick wit, Wesley soon


    figured out many things. “I should’ve known this earlier. Shaun is an arrogant person who doesn’t


    simply agree to dispute awsuit for anyone. You have no money nor power, so why would he so


    readily help you?”


    Catherine bit her lip impassively without uttering a word. Since Wesley had guessed it right, she did not


    see the need to exin further regardless of how he viewed her. After all, her rtionship with Shaun


    had not progressed to the final step. However, when she signed the contract previously, she had


    braced herself to sell her body.


    Her silence was taken as an admission.


    Wesley’s heart ached, and he forced a smile. “I have only myself to me for being incapable of saving


    you.”


    “No. I’m fine at the moment.”


    Frankly, Catherine would rather owe Shaun than Wesley. Perhaps it was because she was married to


    Shaun.


    “Do you like him?” Wesley fixed his eyes on her all of a sudden.


    Catherine was momentarily dazed. She averted her gaze in puzzlement.


    Wesley said gently, “Cathy, I hope you live happily. Even when you’re with someone else, your life


    should be filled with sunshine and blessings. Meanwhile, both of you should have equal freedom. One


    should not be trapped by the other. If you want to get away from him in the future, I’ll certainly help you


    out.”


    “Thank you.” Catherine was visibly touched. Wesley did not mock or look down on her, and he was also


    extremely tolerant of her. If she had met him earlier without the misunderstanding, she would haveThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    probably fallen in love with this gentle, elegant man.


    “If you really appreciate me, stop calling me Mr. Lyons then. I’m only a few years older than you. Just


    call me ‘Brother’. If Shaun bullies you in the future, you can always ask me for help.”


    With a wink, Wesley said jokingly, “Don’t reject my offer, or I’ll feel humiliated.”


    Catherine had no choice but to nod helplessly. With a smile, she said, “Brother.”


    She was d that things turned out this way. She would still need to meet Wesley quite often regarding


    the renovation project. Since things were like this, their rtionship would not be too awkward.


    …


    40 minutester, Catherine got out of the car in front of Riverside Mansion. She then entered.


    Aunty Linda had gone out to get groceries. Catherine curled up underneath the nket to have a good


    sleep.


    At noon, Aunty Linda woke her up to have lunch.


    “When you didn’te back the whole night yesterday, Mr. Hill was worried sick about you. He kept


    calling me in the middle of the night. Considering that you’re already an adult in your 20s, he didn’t


    have to worry so much about you.”


    With a smile, Aunty Linda added, “They say a man who marries the wrong woman will serve as a mom


    and a sitter. If a woman marries the right man, she’ll be pampered like a child by the man. Indeed, Mr.


    Shaun pampers you like a child and treats you as his darling.”
