"I can divorce him if I want, but... not now.” Catherine gazed out of the window as soon as she finished speaking.
It would be fine with Shaun if she trusted Wesley, but what annoyed Shaun was that she refused to divorce Wesley despite suspecting him. She did not seem to care about her life at all. "Catherine Jones, why won't you listen to me?"
"Why must I listen to you?" Catherine asked him nonchalantly. "All you have to do is look after the kids. You don't have to bother about my affairs."
"You're the woman I love. Who's going to care about you if I don’t?”
Shaun instantly stopped the car at the roadside. Then, he moved her body closer to his and caressed her snowy-white face straight away. He made no pretense of hiding the domineering concern in his eyes. "You just don't know how hypocritical and terrifying Wesley is. Are you assuming he won't harm you just because he loves you? You’re wrong. Since he could bring himself to kill the kids, there's nothing in the world that he's afraid of doing."
"Anyway... I can't leave him at this point." Catherine could not resist averting her eyes away from his
handsome face that was inches away from hers.
At the sight of her obstinate expression, Shaun was so furious that his heart ached. "Catherine, if you don't cherish your life and something happens to you, I'm going to marry a wicked woman. By then, don't blame me if she abuses Suzie and Lucas.”
"You..."
Catherine could not help glowering at him indignantly. Despite knowing that he was provoking her on purpose, she was still terrified by his words.
"Cathy, you can choose not to be with me, but I hope you'll be safe and sound.”
Pressing his forehead against hers, Shaun said in a gentle tone as if he was begging her, "Forgive me for forcing you this way. I don't wish the kids to lose their mom, and I can't afford to lose you too."
The man's scent wafted past the tip of her nose.
With the windows shut tight, Catherine suddenly felt that the car was poorly ventilated. She could not resist extending her hands to push his shoulders away without looking at his long and black lashes.
