Catherine froze for an instant. Then, she brought Joel into the house.
Shaun stood there nonchalantly for a while before he turned around and left.
When Catherine glanced out of the villa's window, Shaun's figure was already out of sight.
She spaced out momentarily until Joel's voice sounded in her ears. "To be frank, Shaun is really brilliant. I didn’t expect him to be able to turn things around by getting rid of Wesley and Hannah when things were already so dire. Among the youths, he's probably the only one whom I truly admire.
"Although I admire him, it doesn't mean that I hope the two of you will get back together, Cathy. You went through so much and faced a lot of suffering before this. As your father, I just hope that you can live a peaceful life with the kids. Ever since you got together with Shaun, I noticed that you've experienced more hardships than joy. I hope that your partner will protect and support you instead of assisting you for a short while and leaving you alone after that." "I understand. Dad, you should go and take an early
rest."
Catherine nodded. She grasped the meaning of Joel’s words more than anyone else.
After sending Joel back to his room, Catherine returned to her bedroom.
At this time, the sitter had almost finished bathing the kids.
When Catherine was drying Suzie and Lucas' hair, Freya suddenly called her. She sounded agitated on the phone. ”Sh*t! I can't believe that Wesley and Hannah have been arrested. That damned man, Nathan, has been hiding it from us. I was so frightened all this while that I thought my life would b e over... Now, I feel like an idiot."
Catherine found it amusing. "I realized that you're beginning to sound like Rodney now after spending quite some time with him."
"Is it the right time to discuss this? Most importantly, we survived this ordeal!" Freya was close to tears." During this period, I was so terrified that I wasn't sleeping well. When I heard the gunshot outside the villa today, I nearly pissed myself."
