Upon entering the house, the CEO promptly summoned Madam Susan. "Is she in?" He inquired.

The elderly woman knew who the young master was referring to, so she responded, "No, Young Madam departed for Old Master’s house a while ago."

Shawn nodded in acknowledgment.

"Thank you, Madam Susan," he expressed before ascending the stairs, exhaling a sigh of relief.

Dejectedly, the little girl turned around, tears streaming down her face as she walked away from the man's mansion. What had she expected—that he'd fall for her…

Having spent most of the past few days alone at home, Mia grew inevitably bored. Seeking some company, she decided to make a visit to Old Master Mandez’s mansion.

Carrying a basket of fruits and a finely hand-knitted shawl she had just finished that morning for Grandpa Mandez, Mia headed out of the house.

    "Over my dead body will that happen. My best friend can't be with my sister. Never. Unless he stops being my best friend."Yvonne appeared somewhat embarrassed and discreetly glanced at Shawn, who seemed unfazed by his best friend's response.Everyone laughed it off, but Yvonne sensed her brother wasn't joking. Little did Damien know that his sister held onto his words ever since that moment.____Damien rubbed his forehead wearily upon this revelation, pushing himself off the door and standing upright."At first, I wasn't planning to do anything... But then, four years later, I asked again, jokingly, and you gave the same response.

    In the distinctive residential zone of MRA, surveillance extended beyond the streets; each residence boasted CCTV cameras outdoors and indoors. Consequently, the camera positioned at the Shawn’s mansion's entrance documented the interaction between him and Yvonne the previous day, capturing not only the visuals but also their spoken words.Initially, as Mia tuned into the footage, her expression soured even more. However, as she continued to observe and listen to the recording, disbelief widened her eyes.Wide-eyed, she shifted her gaze to her husband, finding him nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders.As events unfolded, she realized her initial judgment had been off. The stranger had planted a kiss on her husband, who seemed utterly oblivious."I'm sorry," Shawn mumbled, his grey eyes locking onto her honey brown ones."No, no."

    "Your husband, you haven't introduced him to me," May remarked.'Huh?' Mia was stunned."Don't be shocked," May continued, laughing. "I was simply in a coma, not dead. So yeah, I always heard everything you said. And the books you read to me..." She smiled warmly as she spoke.It took a while for Mia to collect herself from the shock. ‘Oh.’Since her mother woke up, they had never discussed Shawn, which made Mia shocked when May mentioned him just now."I know it was a marriage of convenience between you two, but that doesn't give him the right to mistreat my daughter." May's soft expression had transformed into a scowl.At first, Mia seemed lost. What was the woman talking about?Suddenly, realization dawned on her. She recalled the last time she visited her mom in the hospital, where, before her eyes opened, she had poured out her feelings, lamenting about how Shawn had betrayed her trust.With this realization, Mia was stunned, finding herself at a loss for words.

    Why wouldn't she feel grateful? What more could she possibly desire?"Un." Shawn responded nasally. "If I don't do it, who will? I'm your husband," he added.Mia smiled, her gaze fixed on the ceiling. He repeatedly claimed to be her husband. Was he truly committed to their union? Or was he simply fulfilling his duties…?The inevitability of an abrupt end of their union loomed in Mia's thoughts, casting a wave of sadness over her.To divert her mind from heartbreaking thoughts, she murmured, "My Mom wants to meet you. You don't have to force yourself if you don't want to; I'll find something to say to her."Shawn's eyebrow arched up. Recalling that Little One's profile mentioned her mother's passing, he hesitated.Biting her lip, Mia added, "I know you've been wondering why I frequently visited the hospital—it was because of her.

Without hesitation, he picked it up and noticed that the caller ID was unknown. He answered the call and brought the phone to his ear."Mia, I apologize. It's all my fault. Please, let's reconcile and go back to how we used to be."Upon hearing those words from the caller, Shawn's brows furrowed in irritation. Without uttering a word, he promptly ended the call.
