Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 42

“Have I not given in to her whims?”

Shawn furrowed his brows as he spoke. Was she going to be with Yvon after the divorce?

Why did he feel upset? Was he unwilling to let her go?

……

Inside the villa.

Vivian looked at the text message on her phone, and her red lips curled into a smile. She clicked delete as though nothing had happened.

"Mom, I just saw an advertisement on TV, and I like that watch. It can make calls and is waterproof,” Dalton said as he ran over wearing slippers, his gaze full of expectation.

"Are you talking about the genius smartwatch?”

After hearing the full name of the watch, Dalton nodded frantically. He hugged her arm and said, “Yes, that's it. Mom, can I have one?”

"Of course."

Vivian smiled and nodded. She reached out and touched her son's tender cheek. She squatted down and looked into Dalton’s bright and clear eyes. "Do you want Dad to give it to you?”

"Dad? He’ll give it to me?”

Dalton was particularly close to Shawn. Whenever he heard Shawn’s name, his eyes would light up.

"Of course. You are his son. As long as you follow what I say, I promise you that Dad will buy anything you want.”

"Okay. I will do as you say."

Seeing Dalton shaking her arm excitedly, Vivian reached out and picked him up. "Go take a cold shower. Are you scared of the cold?”

"But didn’t you say that children shouldn’t take cold showers and that we will fall sick?”

Even such an innocent child knew what he could and could not do. So why was his mother asking him to take a cold shower?

"Silly Dalton. Don’t you remember that I just told you you have to do everything to keep your happiness with dad?”

"But what does taking a cold shower have to do with happiness?”

Dalton didn't understand what she meant. If he took a cold shower, he would fall sick and have to take a jab and medicine. Why did his mother associate this with happiness?

“What if I tell you that by taking a cold shower, your dad will stay by your side and love you? Will you be willing?”

Vivian said these words energetically. Dalton blinked his eyes. He wasn’t quite sure about what she meant, but he nodded.

"Mom, I’ll take a shower and do whatever you want me to do. As long as you and Dad can be together.”

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Vivian looked away from Dalton’s innocent eyes, and her guilt disappeared. “Good boy. I promise I won’t let your efforts go to vain, and you will get what you want.”

Just as Shawn was about to open the second bottle of wine, his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID on the screen and frowned.

Connor tilted his neck and took a look. There was a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes. "Vivian? Answer it quickly. Your wife and child are waiting for you.”
