Catherine's words made Shaun feel at ease all of a sudden.
Despite knowing that he had a change of heart, he had still felt swamped by guilt all because of his promise from back then. After Sarah returned, she managed to cure his illness, but he could not bring himself to do it with her.
Nevertheless, Catherine was right.
Shaun and Sarah were merely in a relationship and they had never slept together. Previously, Shaun sincerely wished to marry Sarah. If it were not for Lucifer’s appearance, he would have ended up marrying Sarah.
He admitted that Sarah was pitiful, but he was not the one who contributed to her heartbreaking past.
Catherine then continued, "I’m not an unreasonable person anyway. If there were no one by Sarah's side, it'd be fine with me if you wanted to go and help her since you're her ex-boyfriend. But someone’s with her now and Sarah's brother is in Canberra. If you plan to g o there, I won’t give you a second chance."
With that, she opened the car door and directly got out while carrying Suzie.
"Fine, I’m not going there."
Upon noticing that she was leaving, Shaun quickly undid his seat belt and went after her. He took Suzie from her arms with a sparkle in his eyes. "So can you give me another chance tonight?”
Shaun began to push his luck. "After all, you were trying to control me just now.”
"When did I control you? I was just telling the truth." Catherine started to lose her temper. If she had not spent a long time lecturing Shaun, he would have gone to look for Sarah. How dare he ask such a question.
"Are you mad? Are you jealous?"
Shaun’s mouth curved into a mischievous smile. 4
Even though she maintained an impassive face, he knew that she was concerned about him deep down.
"You're overthinking it. I just don't want things to be like before when you kicked me to the curb and divorced me immediately after we slept together.
Shaun, all I want is a sense of security. I don't want to always be the one who will be dumped at any moment."
As soon as Catherine finished speaking, she walked forward without looking back.
At the sight of her black hair being blown by the night breeze and her fine curves, Shaun's heart somehow ached.
Shaun went after her and entered the house. Then, he placed Suzie on the bed in her bedroom.
