Best Revenge: Being My Ex-Boyfriend’s Aunt novel Chapter 1168

Only when Suzie was tired of playing did Catherine carry her out of the pool. She helped Suzie wipe her body and wrapped a towel around her from behind.

She turned around, only to meet Shaun’s deep-set eyes.

"Come on. Close your eyes."

He lowered his head and wiped the water off Catherine's neck and body.

This intimate gesture made Catherine feel so awkward that she tilted away. "You don't have to wipe anymore. I'm going to take a shower later."

"Okay. Bring this towel with you. It's cold at night.

Don't catch a cold."

Shaun nodded gently and watched Catherine leave with Suzie. Then, he turned around and met Lucas’ distracted gaze.

"Are you trying to make peace with Mommy?" Lucas’ lips twitched. "Forget it. I admit that you're quite capable, but Mommy has already married Uncle Wesley. I won't take your side."

“Lucas, let me teach you something," Shaun said seriously, "One must not give up easily."

Lucas rolled his eyes. "Not giving up easily and pestering someone relentlessly are two different things."

"When have I pestered her relentlessly?" Shaun raised his brows. "Have you seen your mommy acting like she’s annoyed at me?"

"Hasn’t she made it obvious enough?"

Stung by Catherine's words, Shaun hung his head silently.

Lucas shot a look at Shaun in disgust. "I'm not as foolish as him."

Catherine sighed. "You can't say that. It seems to happen to your family a lot. Your granny was deceived for 30 years, while your dad was deceived for 20 years. You guys-" 2

"We won't be deceived," Lucas and Suzie interrupted Catherine simultaneously. "We take after you, Mommy.”

"Uh..."

Catherine was dumbfounded. In fact, she felt that...

She had been deceived before too, especially in regards to her marriage. Nevertheless, as their mother, she wanted to retain her dignity. 2

"Let's go. I'll bring you to get your car." Shaun changed the topic. "Are you available at night tomorrow? Let's accompany the kids to..."
