“Even if you don’t want to go back, your secretary department can’t keep working overtime with you day and night. They’re people with families.”
Lea dragged a chair over and sat down. She sighed when she saw Shaun’s scruffy face. She had always thought that Shaun was not like her at all, but now, she realized that Shaun took after her the most. The path he walked on was exactly the same as hers. “ What are you planning to do with Sarah now?”
Shaun pursed his thin lips silently. These days, Sarah had been constantly calling him and sending him messages, but he ignored all of them.
Lea frowned. “Although I don’t know the details, you never mentioned holding another wedding with Sarah again, which means that what the police said that day was right. Sarah did something that let you down.”
“I’ll solve my own affairs. I don’t need you to meddle. ” Shaun’s handsome face became contorted.
“If she really cuckolded you, the Lyons family will never accept her, ” Lea said firmly, “I’m saying this from the standpoint of someone who’s been around the block. Shaun, maybe you never properly understood Sarah Neeson in the first place.”
If it were in the past, maybe Shaun would have retorted, but somehow, he found that he actually agreed with Lea at that moment.
How could Sarah have come back without showing even a trace of guilt after sleeping with Lucifer multiple times? She even showed such deep affection for Shaun.
Was it because Sarah was too good at concealing and acting?
If Lucifer had not died, he would have kept threatening Sarah. Maybe after they married, Sarah would continue sleeping with him. If it were before marriage, Shaun could endure it because of Cate, but what about after their marriage?
What man could accept that? Besides, what if Sarah got pregnant with that man’s child?
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying the consequences were.
Lea took a deep breath and said with some bitterness, “Just take me as an example. I used to say that I understood Mason and even fought with you because of him, but these years, he’s been caring about me less and less. Has he changed?
Maybe not. Maybe he had always hidden that side of him. The Campos family needed the Lyons family’s support and protection, so he tolerated me and I never realized it. I’ve been with him for more than 20 years. We met in university, but I’ve only begun to gradually understand this man now at the age of 50.” After a pause, her tone softened. “Don’t think that you understand Sarah completely just because you’ve known her for a long time. You have to understand that she became entangled with another man outside. In addition, she disappeared abroad for a few years. People change. The more they experience, the more they change.
Shaun shook.
Yes, Sarah had gone missing for a few years overseas.
How could he know if she had changed or not?
Lea could not understand Mason after 30 years. What about him? He only knew Sarah for 20 years.
“ Shaun, you’re not an ordinary person. You’re the leader of Lyons Corporation and you stand on the top o f the pyramid. Others will be paying attention to your marriage. You’ve divorced once, and this happened when you were about to get married for a second time. It’ll become a stain on your life.”
Lea stood up and said seriously, “Have a proper think about it.”
She finished her sentence and turned to leave.
Shaun sat alone in the office chair for a long time until there was a knock on the door. Then, Suzie’s little head poked in from outside. “Uncle, can I come in?”
Even though Shaun was in a bad mood, his heart immediately turned soft when he saw the little one’s cautious yet eager to please appearance.
“Suzie, didn’t you go to preschool today?” Shaun noticed she was still wearing the preschool’s red uniform.
“Grandma said you were in a bad mood, so I came over to keep you company,” Suzie tilted her head and spoke.
Shaun’s heart suddenly warmed.
He did not expect Lea to care about him even at a time like this.
“Uncle, this is for you.” Suzie ran to his legs and clumsily climbed onto his lap. She opened her palm, revealing the piece of chocolate inside. “Every time I’m in a bad mood, I’ll stop crying after eating some chocolate.”
Shaun looked at her and smiled. Then, the little girl unwrapped the chocolate and shoved it into his mouth.
He rarely ate candy, but when he bit into the chocolate this time, it was sweet.
“Uncle, are you feeling better now?”
Suzie looked up at him with sparkling eyes.
“Much better. Thank you, Suzie.” He rubbed her little head.
“Mmh. Uncle, your body… is a little stinky, ” Suzie suddenly said with a disgusted look.
Shaun froze. He had not slept much in the past two days, much less showered.
“I’ve… been busy with work these days and forgot to shower. Wait for me here. I’ll go take one now. ” Shaun awkwardly turned on the TV for her.
“Okay.” Suzie sat down on the sofa obediently and watched Peppa Pig.
Shaun washed himself from head to toe in the bathroom and even shaved his beard. He changed into a pair of black trousers and a white shirt. He exuded a handsome and elegant aura.
Suzie’s eyes lit up. “Uncle, you’re so handsome. Let’s go out on a date.”
Shaun could not help but laugh. “You little rascal, do you even know what a date is?”
“ I saw it on TV. People on TV always go on dates.” Suzie giggled. “Let’s go to the amusement park. I wanna go.” “Okay.”
Shaun agreed without thinking.
In fact, he had also found it very boring to work in the company every day. However, he did not want to go out to face Rodney and Chester.
If it were Suzie, he would be happy to spend time with her. When he drove to the amusement park, Suzie’s watch phone rang. A pleasant female voice sounded. “Suzie, I’m at the gate. Where are you?”
It was Cate’s voice.
Shaun’s heart skipped a beat. He turned behind to look at Suzie and saw her lower her head to say to the watch, “We’re at the parking lot. We’ll be right there.”
After the call ended, his handsome brows quickly furrowed. “You invited Cate?”
“Yep.” Suzie shook her legs.
“…Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Shaun was upset.
“Because I was afraid you wouldn’t want to come if I did.” Suzie stuck out her tongue. “Grandma said you broke up, so I asked Daddy what men should do when they break up. Daddy said that the best thing for a man to do after breaking up is to get into another relationship. The only other person I know of is Aunty Cathy.”
Shaun was speechless. Well, it turned out that in the eyes of others, he had broken up. “Um… You
invited Aunty Cathy and she agreed that easily?” “Yep.” Suzie nodded.
Shaun subconsciously gripped the steering wheel. Could it be that she knew he had not gotten married and wanted to get back together with hïm.
He undid the buttons around his neck, and his depressed mood improved inexplicably.
However, Suzie said, “Because I lied and said I was with Daddy.”
Shaun, “ ”
It turned out that the woman agreed to come to the amusement park purely because… of Liam?
How on earth was he inferior to Liam?
He gnashed his teeth at the last three words.
