Freya frowned. "All these years of being with Patrick have taught me something. A truly good man won’t leave you no matter how scheming other women are. I f you're the only one working hard to sustain the marriage all the time, then it’ll still crumble sooner or later."
Catherine appeared startled.
Freya patted her on the shoulder. "There are too many women in this world who are willing to become homewreckers, not to mention Shaun is the wealthiest man in Australia. Countless women would love to throw themselves all over him and it's up to him to know when to keep a distance from them. Just let things happen naturally. After all, it’s not worth treasuring someone who can easily walk away from you." i
"That sounds... right."
"It is right. Let me treat you to dinner tonight."
"Sure." i
She went back to the manor after dinner but Shaun still had not returned.
The massive manor felt especially empty with just her alone.
That night, the memories of Shaun leaving the manor with Sarah in his arms kept flooding into her mind as she lay down on the bed.
She also recalled Shaun and Sarah's conversation at the hospital earlier today.
Who knew how long Sarah would continue to be in their lives?
Catherine was pregnant yet she had to keep guarding against Sarah while keeping an eye on her husband as if she was in a war.
It was really exhausting.
Perhaps, like Freya had said, it was not worth treasuring someone who could easily walk away.
Forget it. She would just let it be. She decided not to care anymore.
Her hands went over to her belly.
Starting from today, she would spend more time loving her children to ensure they would enter this world healthily.
The other side of the bed was still empty when she woke up the next morning.
Aunty Yasmine had already prepared breakfast when she shuffled down the stairs after washing up. Shaun was waiting for her by the dining table, looking apologetic. "Sorry about last night... I came home too late."
"It's fine."
