My Big-Buck Ex Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 20 She Must Be Strong

Although she hated Windy so much, she pretended to be gentle and obedient. She pouted and said thoughtfully, "since grandpa asked you to go back for dinner, you should go back early. Don't make him wait too long."

"Okay." Shawn replied. He held her hand, put it to his lips and kissed it. Then he said, "You have to have dinner as well, okay?"

Carol nodded, "yes."

Shawn touched her face again and left.

With an expressionless face, Carol didn't move at all. All of a sudden, her chin was too high, making her look both arrogant and cunning. She was even plotting how to deal with her own sister and win back Shawn.

The clock in the living room was pointing at nine o'clock. Shawn hadn't arrived yet.

In the dining room, Ted's face darkened. Windy and Wilson sat on the other side of the table, not daring to breathe heavily. They were both praying in their hearts that Shawn could come back as soon as possible.

Another quarter passed...

Outside the restaurant, Nancy's voice finally sounded. She said, "Mr. Shawn, you're back. Mr. Ted, Mrs. Sally and Mrs. Windy are waiting for you in the restaurant."

"Got it." Shawn replied indifferently and walked into the living room.

As soon as Shawn entered the dining room, he felt that the atmosphere was a little serious. Windy and Wilson glanced at him, but said nothing. On the other hand, Mr. Ted's face darkened. He knew that he

would definitely be taught a lesson by his grandfather tonight, but he still acted as if nothing had happened. He calmly called, "Grandpa, mom."

As soon as he walked to the seat next to Windy and sat down, he heard that Ted picked up his chopsticks and thumped it on the table. Both Windy and Wilson were slightly shocked, but only Shawn looked calm. Then he heard the low and stern voice of Ted. "You still remember to come home?"

Of course, Shawn knew that Ted was questioning him. He pursed his thin lips and said slowly, "Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore. Why do you and mom look at me so every day?"

In fact, in front of Ted, whether he was angry or not, sometimes Shawn would act very casually, just to make Mr. Ted feel helpless and have no mood to care about him. However, Mr. Ted was not as he wished. The more cynical he was, the more he cared.

With a snort, Ted was very dissatisfied with the attitude of Shawn. "If I don't pay attention to you, you've already made trouble for me."

"Grandpa..." With a long ending, Shawn looked a little impatient on his handsome face. He sighed deeply and decided not to defend himself anymore.

Seeing that the two men were about to have a conflict again, Windy said timely, "Grandpa, we have waited for so long. You see, the dishes are getting cold. Let's have dinner first." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Ted knew that Windy was making an excuse to defend Shawn, so he couldn't disappoint her. He just ordered Shawn to go to the study with him after dinner.

Shawn glanced at Windy indifferently, as if she was a stranger. He said nothing, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat elegantly.

Although Windy didn't look at Shawn, she also noticed that he glanced at her. She saw his indifference to her and kept it in mind. Although she felt very uncomfortable, she could only endure it silently. She didn't know what she would do until the day when she couldn't bear it anymore. But at least for now, she really didn't want to give up this man.

So she could only tell herself again and again, "Windy, you have to be strong, stronger and stronger, so that no one can hurt you."

Yes, she couldn't rely on her man, so she could only rely on herself, so she had to be strong.

Dressed in a crimson silk nightgown, Windy dried her hair and walked out of the bathroom. When she saw Shawn push the door open and come in, she stopped drying her hair, but then looked arrogant and cold, not willing to talk to him at all.

In fact, only she herself knew that she was jealous, because Shawn went to see her sister regardless of anything, and stayed at her sister's place very late. If her mother-in-law hadn't called him, he might not have come back for the whole night.

Thinking of this, Windy felt even more aggrieved. She couldn't say anything when her husband went out to find another woman. This feeling really made her heart ache!

Shawn didn't think he was wrong at all. Seeing that Windy didn't want to talk to him, he just smiled coldly and walked up to her. His cold tone was like an awl, piercing her heart. "Windy, you are really good at pretending!"

Hearing this, Windy looked at Shawn and frowned. She didn't understand what he meant.

"What you did was not what you had said. No one can compare with you!" The words of Shawn were not only cold, but also full of irony.

Windy could vaguely feel what he meant. He must have been angry in front of grandpa, so he came to vent his anger on her now. Well, she endured it!

Windy tried her best to suppress the grievance and anger in her heart, and continued to listen to him, "gossip behind me, and this is your true face, right?"

Windy looked at Shawn with an injured face. After a while, she shook her head and defended herself, "no, I didn't."

However, Shawn didn't believe what she said at all. Instead, he continued to hurt her with sharp words. "How could grandpa know that I went to see Carol if you didn't? Windy, you are so cruel. You not only told grandpa about it, but also asked him not to look for Carol again. Are you satisfied with this result?"

Windy knew it was useless to defend herself in the face of the injury of Shawn, so she didn't say anything and just let him misunderstand her as he liked.

However, her forbearance made Shawn more certain that she had reported it to Ted. His face turned cold, like the Satan from hell. The next second, he pinched Windy's neck with one hand, and it seemed that he would strangle her to death in this way.
