Chapter 28 Don't We Agree to Divorce
Shawn just opened the door. Suddenly, with a bang, Anthony is hit by the door and screams.
Seeing Shawn is angry, he thinks it is because he sends the antidote slowly. So he immediately cries,
"President Lawson, it's really not my fault. Madam does have sharp eyes. You don't know that I
underwent three body searches by a group of men below. If I didn't defend to the death, I would have
almost been stripped."
"If I was not smart enough to hide the antidote in my belt, I wouldn't have been able to bring it in."
"President Lawson, please eat it quickly. Let me pour a cup of water for you."
Shawn looks at Anthony with cold and sharp eyes. He is so frozen that it seems he just gets out from
an icehouse, "There is already the antidote. What else do you want me to eat?"
"Ah, it's already eased. is it?"
Anthony is puzzled. Then he looks at Norah and understands instantly.
"Take the medicine and get out." Shawn snaps.
Anthony quickly follows him. While following, he asks, "President Lawson, what are we going to do
now?"
"Find the person who can give me the antidote." Shawn says.
"Ah...?"
Anthony is completely confused now. Doesn't it mean that Norah has relieved him of the effect of the
medicine?
So what's going on now?
Seeing that he takes a step and is about to leave soon, Norah can't hold back herself after all. She
asks, "Are you really going?"
Shawn turns his back on her and says in a cold voice, "Isn't exactly what you hope for?"
Norah bites her lip, suddenly feeling that she can't speak out anything no matter how much she wants
to say.
She never wants him to find Lilian.
Obviously, It is he that only needs Lilian.
That's it.
Now that she has decided to let go, there seems to be no difference between sooner and later.
"When you leave, close the door."
Leaving these words, Norah turns around and runs away.
As soon as she enters the bathroom, she hears the door shut with a bang.
She can't hold it back any longer and pukes up all the things in her stomach in an instant.
She doesn't remember how long she vomited, but just remembers that her stomach was empty at the
end.
When she raises her head again, her entire face is pale and shows no trace of red.
The night grows very late.
The sky is as black as it is dyed by ink.
When Norah walks to the balcony, she sees his slender figure sitting in the car. He is so decisive and
doesn't have any hesitation.
Then the black car quickly disappears into the night.
Farther and farther.
Until there is no sight of it.
Norah stares at where he left for such a long time that her neck is sore.
The night wind is very cold and makes people cold.
She turns back to the room until the very end when her body is almost stiff.
After turning off the lights, Norah quickly wraps herself in the quilt.
It seems that in this way, her body will be warm and the heart will also be warm.
Suddenly, the phone rings.
It is Lilian that calls her.
"Hey, what did you just say about Shawn on the phone?" Lilian asks anxiously.
Norah opens her mouth and is about to answer.
Suddenly, a doorbell rings on the other end of the line.
Next, she hears Lilian's voice, "Shawn, you...why are you here?"
Norah's phone suddenly slips from her hand.
He goes there.
He finally goes there.
At first, she gave herself some hope.
She told herself that Anthony had already sent the antidote, that he would be fine after eating it and
that he might not go to find Lilian.
But now, her last hope is destroyed.
She almost has a sleepless night. She doesn't sleep until around 4am or 5am when she can't restrain
the sleepiness.
When she wakes up in the morning, it is already ten o'clock.
Grandpa's birthday has passed. Today is the day when she and Shawn agreed to inform Grandpa of
their divorce.
However, she doesn't even receive a call from him.
After washing up, Norah calls Shawn.
However, no one answers the phone.
She doesn't give up and keeps calling.
Now that she has decided to divorce, she doesn't want any delay.
Now that he no longer loves her, she doesn't want to make herself look like a clown begging for his
mercy.
It's good to divorce.
Maybe she can forget all these things and start a new life.
Ten years, she has spent enough time on him.
No matter how much love a person has, it will eventually be worn down one day.
At the office.
Shawn's phone keeps ringing.
Anthony frowns and looks at him, "President Lawson, do you really not answer the phone?"
"..."
Shawn doesn't answer him. He is standing with his hands behind his back. His deep and cold eyes are
staring out the window. He doesn't say anything.
For today's call, he knows the purpose of Norah.
This moment should have been what he has expected for two years.
But he never expects that when this moment finally comes, he does't have any sense of expectation at
all.
The phone on the table keeps ringing. Shawn raises his hand and rubs the middle of his eyebrows
irritably.
He doesn't know when she becomes so stubborn that she keeps calling.
Finally, it is Anthony who answers the phone following the order of Shawn.
"Hey, Shawn, I'm ready. When will you come back?" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"My young lady, I'm Anthony."
Norah frowns, "Where's Shawn? I'm looking for him."
"President Lawson..." Anthony glances at Shawn, and continues to say, "President Lawson is in a
meeting. Is there anything worrying you? I can tell him."
"Well, please tell him that today is the day we agreed to inform Grandpa of our divorce. I'm waiting for
him at home."
"My young lady, can you put it off? President Lawson is very busy these two days. He may not have
time to go home. He will contact you as soon as he is free."
"Hey..."
Norah is about to speak again. The phone has been hung up.
When she goes downstairs, Grandpa is drinking tea in the living room. Norah immediately walks to him
with a smile.
Seeing her, Martin is very happy. But his face immediately darkens when he looks at what behind her,
"My girl, where is Shawn? Don't you come down together?"
"Ah..." Fortunately, Norah reacts quickly enough. She immediately explains, "Shawn went to the
company early in the morning. Grandpa, as you know, he has a regular schedule and never sleeps
late."
This explanation is very credible. So Martin easily trusts it.
"Okay. Go to have breakfast quickly. Then, Grandpa has something to tell you."
"Okay, Grandpa."
The breakfast is very substantial. Almost all the food is her favorite.
However, she doesn't have appetite at all.
But thinking that the baby in his womb needs nutrition, Norah reclutantly eats a lot.
After the breakfast, Norah immediately goes to find Grandpa when she knows he is enjoying the sun on
the balcony.
"My girl, sit down."
"Okay, grandpa."
Norah sits down with a sunny and bright smile. When with Grandpa, she always shows the happiest
side to him.
No matter what happened between her and Shawn, Grandpa will be her grandpa all her life.
Grandpa is not in good health now. She doesn't want him to worry about her.
Martin takes a sip of tea, considers for a long time, and says, "Norah, tell Grandpa the truth. Does
Shawn bully you?"
"That's not true, Grandpa. Where do you hear that? Shawn is always very good to me."
Norah deliberately shows the bracelet around her wrist and the necklace around her neck to Martin,
"Grandpa, look. He bought these for me. I was a little bit hesitant but he still bought them for me. ."
Thinking of the pair of earrings on Lilian's ears, Norah's heart suddenly aches.
But soon, it is covered up by her silently.
When she raises her head again, she still has a gentle and bright smile on her face.
Martin can't help himself any longer and grabs her hand distressedly, "Silly girl, although grandpa is
old, I'm not deaf. Grandpa knows all the bad things he has done."
"Does Lilian come back? Why don't you tell Grandpa such an important thing?"
