Chapter 156 Cant's Be Friends as We've Divorced
Shawn?
Was that him?
Wasn't he in South Sea?
How did he come back so soon?
"You..." Norah was too shocked, and she had just uttered one word when the door was pushed open, and Shawn's slender figure entered.
"Why did you come back by yourself without telling me?" Shawn stared at her with his dark eyes.
Norah did not expect him to ask her so directly.
After a while, she raised her small face to look at him and calmly said, "Mr. Lawson, we already got our divorce certificates a few days ago."
"We are no longer husband and wife, and I think there is no need to report to you about everything."
Norah's words rendered Shawn speechless.
He opened his mouth but could not say anything.
Yes. Shawn, you've already divorced.
How could you forget that you are already divorced?
Strictly speaking, you no longer have any relationship.
But, after all, it was Shawn. He quickly found words to respond, "You're right. We've divorced. But can't we be friends?"
Friends?
Norah Laughed.
She could be friends with anyone but Shawn
She couldn't do it.
One could not be friends with their once beloved one. It wasn't until this moment of divorce that she understood these words.
"Impossible." Norah looked at him and gave her answer in a decisive manner.
Shawn didn't expect this answer and froze for a moment, "Why?"
"No reason. We should keep our distance after divorce. You and I are not from the same world in the first place. You have your glamorous and top-notch luxury world, while I'm just ordinary. I'm not from a noble family and want to live an ordinary life."
"If it were not for Grandpa, we would not have gotten together. Since he passed away, we should return to the right track."
Shawn's eyes deepened at the mention of Grandpa, and he immediately said, "You're right. But even if we're divorced, you're still the person Grandpa entrusted to me. I have to take care of you."
Norah smiled gently and said, "No need."
"Shawn, since we're divorced, we should act appropriately."
"It's late. It's not good for us to be alone in the same room. Please leave early, Mr. Lawson."
Norah refused Shawn decisively.
Shawn clenched his fist, and his eyes darkened, "Norah, do you have to behave like this?"
"Please leave, Mr. Lawson!"
Seeing that she was very persistent and resolute, Shawn could not afford to make their relationship even worse.
Although he was reluctant, he still got up and left.
Seeing him leave the door, Norah reached out to close the door.
But Shawn's hands were against the door. His eyes were deep as he looked at her, "Norah, whether we are divorced or not, you are still a member of the Lawson family. I have to take care of you and be responsible for you."
"Don't be angry anymore. I'll come back to see you later."
Norah slammed the door.
The door separated the two.
Shawn went straight to the underground garage and drove directly to Norah's house.
When he arrived at the place, he pressed the doorbell hard.
Norah had cleaned the house until noon. She hadn't even had time to cook and ordered a takeaway.
When she heard the doorbell ring, she didn't think much of it and thought the takeaway had arrived, so she opened the door.
Then unexpectedly, she saw Shawn standing at the door with an angry face.
"Didn't you say you will not visit my place..." these days?
Before Norah could finish her words, Shawn put the box in his hand on the table with force and then opened it, "Anthony said that it was you who told him to give me these things."
"Yeah."
"Norah..." Shawn clenched his fist. He stared at her angrily with red eyes, "Do you have a heart or not? Do you know the value of these things? And do you know what these things mean?"
"I know."
Norah picked up one of the necklaces inside and frowned, "Shawn, we've been married for two years. You prepared gifts for me every festival, which are pricey."
"But none of the gifts were prepared by yourself. They were all prepared by Anthony. Do you think I want such gifts?"
"Forget it. There's no point in talking about this now. As I said, I never wanted to get anything from you in this marriage. These jewels are worth a fortune. I can't take them. It's better to return them to you."
"Fine, it better be.."
Suddenly, Shawn picked up the jasper bracelet and the pair of jasper earrings and placed them in front of Norah, "These two were given to you by Grandpa and Grandma. You don't want them either and want to throw them away?"
"I didn't throw them away. I just returned them to their original owner."
"Humph..." Shawn sneered, "These were given to you by my Grandparents. Now you've returned them to me. What's the difference between that and throwing them away."
"Shawn, don't be a nuisance."
"Besides..." Norah's voice lowered as she earnestly said word for word, "Grandparents gave them to me. But actually, they wanted to give them to the Lawson family's granddaughter-in-law. We are divorced. These two pieces of jewelry no longer belong to me. I have no reason to possess them."
