Fated to Love You Again (Shawn and Norah) novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221 Learning about Norah's Divorce 

After watching Norah get into the car, Matthew turned around and walked back. 

At the door, he saw Janet leaning there with a calm expression. 

"Was it Shawn Lawson who came to pick her up?" 

Although it was phrased as a question, Janet spoke with certainty. 

"You know him?" 

"There are only two cars like this in the entire city. One belongs to the Lawson family, and the other one was given to you by me on your birthday. You want to keep a low profile and keep it in the garage. It was almost covered in dust, and I had to take it." 

Matthew understood the situation. "What are you trying to say?" 

Janet raised an eyebrow. 

Instead of further beating around the bush, she stepped forward and grabbed Matthew's clothes. "Stop playing dumb. It's useless, and I've seen through your thoughts." 

"Keep it to yourself and pretend you don't know," Matthew said. 

Janet looked at him and spoke coolly, "The birthday party held by the Lawson family? And you asked me to contact an obstetrics and gynecology professor in the middle of the night also for her, right?" 

Matthew looked up at the sky but said nothing. 

"Now that her husband went there and they were all lovey-dovey, you came back feeling down in the dumps?" 

"Janet..." Matthew said, trying to suppress his anger. "I want to be left alone." 

Janet punched him. "Come on. You're my brother. What are you afraid of? The Lawson family, so what? We're not afraid of anyone. If you like her, go after her. She won't know if you keep your feelings to yourself." 

"But," Matthew said, looking at her with intense sadness in his eyes. "They're married. Are you encouraging me to wreck their marriage?" 

"Pfft. I've looked into it and found that they got divorced a month ago. Now that she's single now, you have every right to court her." 

"What?" Matthew looked at her incredulously. "What were you saying?" 

"I'll say it again," Janet said. "I can tell you with certainty that she has divorced Shawn." 

Janet thought her brother would be overjoyed at the news. 

But his reaction was completely unexpected. 

Matthew walked up to her and hugged her tightly. "Thank you for your understanding. I thought you would mind." 

Janet smiled softly. "Mind what? That she was married? Or that she had a miscarriage?" 

"Don't be silly," she said. "If you truly like her, why would I mind? Besides, it's not like every girl has to remain a virgin till they get married. I'm not old-fashioned. 

"I never care about who she is. I care about your feelings. I like whoever you like." 

Matthew's eyes grew moist. 

The greatest pain in his life was the death of his father. 

But the greatest blessing was having a sister who cared about him wholeheartedly and protected him in every way. 

When he first joined the police force, his mother had been vehemently against it. 

Despite the obstacles, he had refused to change his mind. 

It was his sister who had stepped in and overridden all objections. 

It was also her who had taken over their family businesses and transformed from a carefree socialite into a powerful businesswoman. 

It was her sacrifice that had protected his dream and guarded his original intentions. 

Janet walked into the house with Matthew's hand clasped in hers.
