Melissa quietly watched this scene.
I thought I would no longer feel heartache, but I didn’t expect that when I saw this scene, I still couldn’t catch my breath.
She forced herself to turn away and not look at the following scene.
Shawn and Georgina didn’t show up until the birthday party was over.
When Georgina was seeing off Melissa and Shawn, she suddenly remembered something and asked softly, “Today is your birthday, why didn’t i see your brother?”
Georgina was initially stunned, and then shook her head, “I don’t know, Harrison has been very busy lately.”
Shawn frowned, “What could be so busy that you didn’t show up for your birthday banquet?
Although Harrison had always been elusive since childhood, as his best friend, It was the first time I saw him disappear for such a long time.
Georgina pouted in frustration, “You know, I wasn’t qualified to control him, I was just his stepsister.”
Shawn didn’t pay much attention and rubbed her head, “Don’t be afraid of him, if there’s anything, just come to me.”
Georgina nodded heavily and said with a smile, “Well, Shawn is the one who spoils me the most.”
Seeing them flirting and teasing each other like that, Melissa remained silent throughout.
It took them a while to say goodbye, and Melissa also managed to flag down a passing car.
“We all drank alcohol, so we couldn’t drive. It was too late, and we didn’t call a driver either. Let’s just take a taxi back”
Shewn had no objections to this and nodded before getting on the car.
On the way, Melissa was drowsy due to the effects of alcohol, while Shawn kept his eyes down, looking at his phone.
It seemed like chatting w with someone, with a faint smile at the corner of the lips and an unfading tenderness in the eyes.
After arriving home, Shawn got out of the car first. When Melissa was about to get out of the car, she was stopped by the female driver, who couldn’t help but hesitate and remind her.
“Miss, you should pay attention to your boyfriend, he was outside…”
Melissa nodded and forced a calm smile
“I knew that he was dating someone else and was about to get married.”
“But it’s okay, I also have someone outside, and I got married to him on the same day
After saying that, she ignored the driver’s stunned expression and turned around to walk towards the villa.
She the
thought of something and then took out her phone to send a message to Harrison.
“How did the wedding preparations go?”
A few seconds later, Harrison’s message came back
you were so eager to marry me?
Seeing these words, she was completely stunned.
Is this really something Harrison could say?
Was he… hitting o
on her?
Melissa stood still for awhile, typing and deleting words in the chat box, unsure of what to reply for a moment.
*Melissa?**
Shawn stood at the door, looking at her with some surprise, “Why haven’t
‘t you come in yet?
She instantly came to her senses, hurriedly turned off her phone, and quickly stepped into the house.
After taking a shower, Melissa nestled in her blanket, contemplating for a while as she looked at the chat interface with Harrison. Eventually, she sent a message, saying “I was just afraid that you wouldn’t come.”
Chapter 5
A few seconds later, he replied with a voice message.
The deep magnetic voice, like the most pleasant and beautiful sound of a cello,
“Don’t worry, I would come to marry you on time.”
She instinctively touched her burning earlobe, feeling a bit absent–minded.
Shawn came out after washing up, with a hint of curiosity in his dark eyes.
“Who were you just chatting with?”
Did he hear it wrong?
He had just clearly heard a man’s voice.
His thin lips pressed tightly together as he stared at her, waiting for her answer.
Melissa quickly turned off her phone and placed it under her pillow,
“No one.”
Watching her obvious actions, for some reason, Shawn felt a slight unease in his heart.
He slowly approached, pressing against her, about to kiss her.
However, Melissa pushed him away once again, tightly wrapped in the blanket, and turned her back to him.
“Recently, I have been having some trouble sleeping, so why don’t you go sleep in the guest room?”
Seeing her distant attitude, Shawn finally noticed a strong sense of strangeness.
He instantly became a little flustered, and he hugged her from behind, pressing her into his arms, with his chin resting on her neck. “Melissa, did I do something wrong? Can we talk about it? Please don’t treat me like this.”
“I was just a normal man, it was normal for me to have desires for you. Moreover, I loved you so much. By repeatedly rejecting me like this, aren’t you. sentencing me to death?”
