Catherine glared at Shaun for a while, but in the end, she still followed him upstairs.
He put Suzie on the big bed in the master bedroom." You can rest next door. I won't sleep. I'll stay here with her."
"Forget it. If I leave you here, you won't know what to d o if she has a fever again."
Catherine rolled her eyes at him. "Leave me the thermometer. You sleep next door."
"... Okay."
Shaun nodded and turned to go out.
This was his bedroom, so Catherine did not dare to sleep on the bed. She stayed on the sofa at the side and sent a text message to Wesley: [I have to work overtime at the company until early morning and won't go back tonight. I'm sorry.]
After sending it, her cheeks burned with guilt.
She felt like a woman cheating on her husband.
However, when she saw Suzie's innocent little face, she could not help it.
She sat for a long time until fatigue slowly hit her. She leaned back on the sofa and drifted to sleep.
Before she completely fell asleep, she heard the sound of the room door gently opening. She immediately woke up but did not open her eyes.
She would not know what to say to Shaun if she woke up now, and secondly, she did not know what Shaun was planning to do.
Then, the sound of footsteps stopped in front of her and a pair of arms held her up.
She quickly opened her eyes and stared at Shaun nervously and warily. "What are you doing? Put me down."
"I just wanted to carry you to the bed. It's late. You need to rest."
