Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 47

The Richard family.

Baird Richard sat on the sofa. Maisie Richard was there as well, but he did not say anything. He just looked at his son with a frown.

"Have you really thought it through? You want a divorce?!”

Baird’s voice was cold. He tried to suppress his anger through his serious expression. Joye was the most suitable woman for Shawn. If they were together, they would be able to happily spend their days together forever.

But he was now getting divorced because of another woman! How could he have such a misbehaving grandson!

"I've asked the lawyer to draft a divorce agreement. I'll give her all the shares and real estate under my name."

Shawn stood by the side. His black suit made him look even taller and more erect. His facial features were still the same, but he looked cold and aloof. He gave off a very complicated aura.

After the divorce, Joye could officially be with other men.

"How can you give everything to her?”

Before Baird and the surprised Maisie could speak, Xaria's sharp voice could be heard. Seeing Vivian and Dalton following behind her, Shawn immediately frowned.

Why were they there?

"Shawn, just because you and Joye are getting divorced doesn’t mean that you have to give all your assets to her. Don't forget that you have a son now. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your son and Vivian.”

She pushed Vivian and Dalton forward and said, “Baird, this is the grandson of the Richard family. Jasper, address your great-grandfather.”

Dalton didn't know what was going on. It took some time for his brain to react properly. He said to Baird, “Great-grandfather, nice to meet you, my name is Jasper.”

His mother suddenly told him that he had a new name in the future and he had to tell everyone loudly that his name was Jasper. But he preferred his old name, Dalton. He found it to be more pleasant.

There was a hint of joy on Baird’s face but he furrowed his brows in dissatisfaction. "As I said, the Richard family's eldest great-grandson must be from Joye! I won’t accept him!”

"Dad, what do you think the kid wants? He is the descendant of our Richard family. You might not accept it, but Maisie and I will. Jasper, this is your grandfather.”

Xaria bent down and held Dalton's hand, pointing at Maisie, who looked embarrassed.

"Hello, Grandpa. I'm Jasper."

Maisie looked at the child and then at the angry old man. In the end, his embarrassed gaze fell on Xaria's face, but he saw her gaze. He just waved his hand and said, "Behave, Jasper. Come to Grandpa's side."

"Yes."

Now that he had a father and a grandfather, Dalton immediately had a happy smile on his little face. He took small steps and walked to Maisie. His good behavior gave others a better impression of him.

"Dad, look, Jasper and Shawn looked so much like each other when they were young. I remember a photo of Shawn from when he was a child. They look exactly like each other."

Xaria’s tone changed. She looked at Maisie. Maisie then said to Baird, “Dad, he does look like Shawn. Especially when he’s wearing this. It’s like time has turned back and Shawn is a child again.”

Vivian lowered her head and didn't open her mouth, but she was smiling. She had specially prepared this set of clothes based on Shawn's childhood photos. Of course, Jasper would look like Shawn.

"Regardless of whether he looks like Shawn or not, he cannot be the eldest great-grandson of the Richard family. Shawn, I’m ordering you to end your relationship with this woman and with this child!”

Baird was so angry that he stood up from the sofa. His angry look frightened Dalton. Dalton ran into Vivian’s arms and he began crying.

"Mom, I'm scared."

Only then did Vivian take action. She squatted down and wiped Dalton’s tears away. She looked sadly at Shawn and said, “Shawn, Aunty, I’m going to bring Jasper home now."

"You can't go back!" Xaria shouted just as Shawn was about to say something.
