Fated to Love You Again (Shawn and Norah) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169 Love and Cherish Your Wife

The two of them didn't even bother to find a coffee shop and just stood by the car.

Shawn lit a cigarette, leaning lazily against the car. In the hazy smoke, he spoke first, "You speak first!"

Those three simple words were enough to display his imposing aura.

If it were anyone else, they would have been intimidated by his presence. But for Matthew, it was nothing to be afraid of.

"Norah and I are just friends," said Matthew.

Upon hearing this, Shawn suddenly laughed.

His laughter was cold and hostile.

"As a man, do you really think I'll believe you?"

Matthew wasn't angry as if he had expected this answer. He continued, "You can suspect me, as we have no relationship. But you shouldn't doubt Norah because she's your wife. As her husband, you should love and protect her."

Matthew paused for a moment, and his gentle gaze suddenly became sharp. "You shouldn't doubt and hurt her."

"Shawn, only an incapable man would bully his wife."

Wife?

Shawn was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. If he guessed correctly, Norah didn't tell Matthew that they had already gotten a divorce.

At that moment, he suddenly felt relieved.

If he could, he wished that Matthew would never find out about their divorce.

"If that's what you really think, stay away from her. I don't want a man like you casting a greedy eye on my wife all the time. Matthew, don't think that I can't see through your intentions."

"I'll keep my distance from Norah, but..."

Matthew looked at Shawn, his tone suddenly firm. "I'm doing it for Norah's sake, not because of your threats or warnings. And I'm not afraid of you."

"Shawn, If you love Norah, be a man and love and protect her. If you don't love her, let her go, and don't ruin her life."

Shawn sneered. "Don't worry. I won't give you that chance."

"You better not."

Their conversation ended on a tense note.

They parted in discord.

It seemed like this was the result they had expected.

Since Shawn left in a fit of anger a few days ago, he and Norah had never communicated.

On Friday, the hospital's new employee training ended. As tradition dictated, there was a dinner party for the new employees.

The dinner party was held in a luxurious private room.

It was said to be a super-expensive and extravagantly decorated private club in the city. Only powerful and rich people could enter.

So, everyone was surprised when they entered.

A few new employees asked, "Mrs. Lee, is the company paying for this dinner? Will we have to pay for it ourselves? I heard that the average cost per person is a few thousand dollars. I haven't even started working yet, and I don't have enough money to afford it."

An employee next to him laughed and said, "Even if I had worked for a few years, I couldn't afford to eat here, either. A meal would cost a month's salary."

Hearing their questions, Mrs. Lee smiled and explained, "Don't worry. Today's dinner is reimbursed by the hospital. To be precise, it's personally reimbursed by Dean Broser."

"Dean Broser?"

Some of the more gossip-prone employees' eyes lit up when they heard this name, and they asked with great interest, "Mrs. Lee, tell us more. Why is Dean Broser treating us to dinner? We haven't even officially met him yet!"
