Chasing After My Beloved Wife

Chapter 18 His Beloved Woman

She was Shawn's girlfriend from college, the woman he truly loved.

Shawn had always been sensitive. In addition, Joye was sitting in a conspicuous position, so he saw

her as soon as they entered the restaurant. His unruly eyes swept across Yvon's face, and a frown

appeared on his face.

He looked away and lowered his head while pinching the hand holding his arm. "You don’t have to think

about it anymore. As long as you want to, I'll come with you every day."

His gentle voice was accompanied by a doting gaze as he pretended not to see Joye.

"Yvon, how nice to see you here. What a coincidence."

"Vivian, what a coincidence. We haven't seen each other for years."

Only then did Yvon recognize who the woman in front of him was. Surprise flashed across his eyes.

Didn't she go abroad a few years ago? Why was she beside Shawn now?

He didn't have time to figure out the answer to his confusion. He subconsciously looked at Joye, who

was sitting opposite him, but he couldn't do anything about the awkward atmosphere.

Joye's face darkened when she saw her ex-husband's ex-girlfriend. The one he had always been in

love with. She put down the menu in her hand and was about to get up to dine in another restaurant.

Suddenly, the person who should’ve kept silent spoke.

"Yvon, is this your girlfriend? She's so beautiful. You two make a perfect match."

Then, she reached out her hand to Joye with a smile. Her clean fingernails were painted a baby pink

color, while the perfect smile on her face expressed one thing.

Her smile said, I don't know who you are. So, let's get to know each other now.

Shawn furrowed his brows as the atmosphere became weird.

"You’ve misunderstood. She's not my girlfriend. She's..."

Yvon wanted to reveal Joye's identity, but she stopped him with a smile. "Miss. Hilary, you’ve

misunderstood us. I am just a friend of Yvon’s."

Shawn's lips parted a little. His gaze was filled with danger. Unexpectedly, she did not use her status as

Mrs. Richard to pressure others today.

"I'm sorry, I might have said something wrong, but I really thought you two were a couple. You guys

look good together. Shawn, am I right?"

After saying that, Vivian turned to look at the man beside her with a faint but happy smile.

Shawn’s smile carried an ambiguous meaning. "It's not easy for the men of the Richard family to find a

perfect match. Women who hooked up with other men before they get divorced are not a match for us."

Joye's face turned pale when she heard that. He was now accusing her of hooking up with a man

without getting a divorce?

Shawn flirted with women of all kinds every night in bed. And what did she say?

"Miss, I'm sorry. This is how Shawn speaks sometimes. He is not considerate enough. Please don't

mind him."

Vivian took the initiative to apologize and gently pinched Shawn's arm. This simple action made Joye's Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

heart ache. What she had longed for the most in a relationship was to hold his arm and pinched it like a

spoiled child.

"Joye, shall we try the Japanese restaurant next to this one?"

Before she could answer, Shawn sat down beside him with a smile and said, "Yvon, what kind of

Japanese food are you eating? It’s fate that we met at this restaurant, so why don't we eat together?

Who's paying the bills, you or your friend? You wouldn’t mind paying for two more meals, right?"

"Shawn?"

Yvon furrowed his eyebrows. It was one thing to hide Joye’s identity from Vivian, but what was Shawn

thinking? Did he want to embarrass Joye?

"I don't mind. Excuse me, we need two more sets of cutleries please."

Joye said to a waiter calmly, with a smile, but under the table, her fingernails had dug deep into her

palm. She couldn't be a coward in front of Shawn, nor could she retreat from the woman he loved.

She had to take her stand!
