Chapter 8
Upon hearing Xander’s questioning, Cathy became a little flustered, but she knew she absolutely couldn’t reveal any flaws, otherwise Xander would definitely not let her off the hook.
Cathy tried to calm herself down and resorted to her usual tricks, saying with a sense of grievance, “I didn’t! I didn’t say anything, I really just wanted to kindly bring Sharon some water, hoping to win her favor.”
“But Sharon insisted that I poured the water too hot, accusing me of harming her and bullying her as a blind person, wanting to kill her and become the mistress of this house. I understood that Sharon suddenly became blind and felt sad in my heart. I also knew that Sharon was important to Xander, so I didn’t dare to argue back, I could only stand quietly.”
But Sharon unexpectedly picked up the blanket and threw it on the ground. I was startled by the sudden noise, but luckily Xander came to the rescue. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known what to do.
“Xander, I really didn’t deceive you. I was already content with being able to move into the Cooper’s manor with the children. Why must we stir up trouble and make each other unhappy?”
Cathy kept saying, and tears kept flowing uncontrollably.
It’s a pity that Cathy didn’t act and perform her crying scenes.
Obviously, Xander was really falling for it. Watching Cathy speaking with such sincerity, Xander let out a sigh.
He thought Cathy made a lot of sense. He had already brought her and Jason back to Cooper’s manor, just without the official status.

What is Cathy not satisfied with again? Why does she have to take the risk of being kicked out and come to me to complain?
Perhaps, he really blamed Cathy wrongly.
However, he was not in the mood to listen to Cathy cry now.

Xander rubbed his forehead and said, “You go rest with the child, I have something important to do now. There’s nothing, don’t come to the study and disturb me.”
Seeing that she was being deceived, Cathy dared to tightly hold her child and leave.
Perhaps it was in accordance with the saying “The onlooker sees clearly; the gamester is blind.”
Mary understood it very well. She could tell that Cathy’s behavior, with her green tea figurine, was far from being kind–hearted.
Her intention, nor could it be simply wanting to be an insignificant lover, to spend her life with Xander.
Unfortunately, Xander just couldn’t see through Cathy’s true face.
Mary was also angry and said to Xander, “Mr. Cooper, I don’t understand why you cheated on Mrs. Cooper when you loved her so much with Ms. Shaw.”
“You were not unaware that walking by the river often leads to wet shoes. Mrs. Cooper is so clever; did you really think you could hide it from her forever?”
Xander shook his head and defended, “I didn’t intend to cheat. The one- night stand with Cathy was a mistake from the beginning. Maybe it was because I had been with Sharon for so many years, but that one–night stand brought me a different feeling. I just wanted to indulge a few times,

but when I wanted to pull away, Jason was already in the picture.”
“Jason was my child, he did nothing wrong, and I wanted to give Jason a home… Moreover, Cathy gave birth to Jason for me and then lost her sight. In the end, it was my fault for not taking care of her, I couldn’t just ignore her…”
Mary said angrily and helplessly, “Mr. Cooper, you are so confused! If you know it’s wrong, you should cut your losses in time instead of making one mistake after another! You dug a hole to compensate for Ms. Shaw, but who will compensate for Mrs. Cooper? Mrs. Cooper didn’t do anything wrong, so why should she bear the burden of everything!”
“And you should also know, if Mrs. Cooper found out about your relationship with Ms. Shaw, what would she do? You love Mrs. Cooper so much, you don’t want her to leave, so why would you do something that would hurt Mrs. Cooper?”
Xander wanted to defend himself, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn’t say a word.
Mary sighed and said, “Mr. Cooper, all these years, I have always regarded you as proud, except for this matter, you have disappointed me.”
Mary finished speaking and left the study disappointed.
Xander thought about Mary’s words, sat slumped in the chair, and regretfully shed tears.
Yeah, it was him who cheated on Cathy, and had a child with her. Why am I the one bearing the consequences of their mistake?
Xander knew that I left because I found out about his relationship with Cathy.
Even if he was deceiving himself, it was useless.

After all, apart from this matter, there was nothing that would make me leave, taking away nothing but my mother’s belongings, leaving so resolutely.
Xander murmured in pain, “Sharon, my Sharon…”
