Shaun's doting gaze stared at her, and the smile in his eyes was as sweet as honey.
"I don't blame you. How can Senator Mead compare with you? He’s just a bald old man, and his daughter is just a bean that's been chewed thousands of times abroad. As for you..."
His gaze stopped on a certain area of her body. "It's nice that it's big. A peerless beauty, right? Only one in the entire world."
"...Pervert." Catherine felt his crooked gaze.
She blushed and hurriedly pulled the quilt up while glaring at him.
"Those were your words." Shaun chuckled and shrugged. "Cathy, I quite like the way you looked just now, domineering and jealous."
"Who’s jealous? I just don't like Hannah using me as a threat." Catherine snapped at him. "Even when I was chasing a man back then, I wasn't tasteless like Hannah. Being shameless is one thing, but not knowing where to draw the line is another."
"Yup, I also dislike her, but... We probably offended her just now, and she would really say it to the public. If someone with the Mead family reputation spreads the
rumor, your reputation would..." Shaun hesitated to speak.
Catherine frowned at him. "Shaun Hill, why are you becoming more and more indecisive? Hannah even threatened you just now. Where's your once decisiveness and ruthlessness?”
Embarrassment washed over Shaun's handsome face. "I had no weaknesses before, but now, you, Suzie, and Lucas are my weaknesses."
Catherine looked at him with her clear eyes for a moment before she said, "Shaun, I don’t like being threatened. You're Lucas and Suzie's dad, so I don't like you being threatened easily either. Money and fame are fleeting. Since I came to Canberra, I've always been in the public's limelight with too many people scolding me. But what about it? How can they affect me besides scolding me online? If worse comes t o worst, I'll take the children and leave Australia. The world is so huge. Why do I have to be subject to those people?"
Shaun was a little taken aback.
