Chapter 1012

Chapter 1012Shane quickly took a step back and avoided it in time.
Catherine was also held back by the bodyguards and could not go anywhere near Shane.
“Shane, I beg you! Please don't keep me here. I—”
“Enough, I'm going to say this again. I'm not letting you off anytime soon,” Shane interrupted her.
Catherine's face was as pale as a ghost. “But I'll go mad if you continue to keep me in here. Perhaps
you'd let me off if I divorced your uncle? Then, I would no longer be a part of the Thompson family. How
about that?”
She looked at him with hopeful eyes.
Shane narrowed his eyes. “You want to divorce Sam?”
“Yes, I've thought of doing so for months now.” Catherine nodded.
I was once madly in love with him. Thus I couldn't accept the fact that he cheated on me with other
women. Nonetheless, I've learned to gradually let go of my feelings for him as I had my fun with other
men. So, I have no feelings left for him and didn't think it was fair to keep me in because of his
wrongdoings.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookI want a divorce and leave the Thompson family as far away as possible. I need not worry about money
and will live my own life the way my heart desires. Why should I suffer for someone like Sam?
“Shane, this is why I insisted on meeting you. I want to divorce Sam,” Catherine said out loud as she
grabbed the bodyguard's arm.
Shane was surprised at first but slowly realized that it made sense.Sam's dying, so it'd make sense that Catherine wants a divorce.
“You don't have to divorce Sam. You'll become single again once he's dead,” Shane rejected her
request.
Catherine was stunned for a brief moment before she became emotional. “Who knows when will he
die? I can't stand another moment here. I want to leave the Thompson family this instant.”
Shane looked at her as if she was about to go crazy. He pursed his thin lips and said, “All right, you can
have it your way. But you have to tell me where Sean is in exchange. You're his mom, so you should
know where he is, right?”
Catherine's brow knitted together as she heard Shane's words. “Mom? He never treated me like his
mom. He'd call me mom when he's in a good mood. Otherwise, I'm nothing to him. Hence, how would I
know where he is?”
“You don't?” Shane wasn't convinced.
Catherine nodded. “I have no idea. I don't know him as well as you do. In fact, it's my fault we're
strangers. I didn't fulfill my duties as a mom to care for him and get to know him. Similarly, he has never
thought of me as his mom.”
I've always been so busy with exposing Sam and his affairs with other women that I've neglected him.
In fact, I've even blamed him for not supporting me as I fight for Sam's love. For that, I've taken my
anger out on him in the past.
It took me a long time before I let go of my feelings for Sam and was reminded of Sean. However, it
was already too late when I wanted to mend our broken relationship as mother and son. Even thoughhe would still call me mom, I know he is very disappointed in me. He would abandon me without any
hesitation.
Therefore, I can only care for him with words and nothing else, for I know I am in no place to do so
either.
“Well, you really did fail to fulfill your duties as a mom,” Shane responded sarcastically.
Catherine could not snap back as she knew he was right.
I really did fail miserably.
I'm pretty sure Sean knows what's going on here, but he hasn't shown up to rescue me. That is a clear
representation of a failed mother and son relationship.
I have no one but myself to rely on. The only thing in life that wouldn't betray me is money and my
heart.
