"Stop talking." Catherine lifted her head and kissed him back.
Shaun felt like a young man again and shuddered.
It felt as though he had eaten something sweet, like honey.
Bam! All of a sudden, he was ruthlessly kicked to the carpet.
"Mommy, what was that noise?" Lucas woke up with a start, while Suzie continued sleeping like a baby.
"Nothing. I flung some trash onto the floor just now. You can continue sleeping." Catherine touched Lucas gently.
Lucas vaguely uttered, "Mhm." He then fell asleep again.
With a sulky expression, Shaun got up while feeling annoyed and glowered at Catherine. "Am I trash?"
"It serves you right. You refused to budge even after I told you to get lost," Catherine said in a self-righteous manner.
Shaun continued to look at her fixedly. Dressed in silk pajamas, she was unaware that she had revealed a large part of her fair flesh below her collarbone as she
was sleeping on her side.
His Adam's apple bobbed. He was set on staying here tonight even if he were to die.
"Cathy, I just can't bring myself to leave you," Shaun grumbled, "Stop giving me a hard time, okay?”
"Are you planning to leave?" Catherine asked.
"No, I'm not." Shaun shook his head. "Wherever you sleep, I'll sleep there."
"... Suit yourself, but don’t think about getting onto the bed. You can sleep on the floor," Catherine replied coldly.
"Okay. I don't mind as long as we're sleeping in the same bedroom." With that, Shaun lay on the floor.
To Catherine, he was a real pain in the neck.
With fall drawing nearer, he might easily catch a cold i f he were to lie on the floor at night without a blanket, though it was scorching hot during the day.
