Chapter 258 I Will Never Let Go in This Lifetime
Norah was taken aback. "Mat, this is too sudden. Can you give me some time to think about it?"
"Sure." Matthew nodded.
After pondering for a moment, Norah spoke, "Mat, I can go with you to see your mother. However, you will promise me that when she recovers, you will explain everything to her."
"Yes, you can rest assured. You only need to visit her once. As for the rest, leave it to me." Matthew assured her.
"Okay."
"Then I'll pick you up after you finish work."
After reaching an agreement, Matthew left first, and Norah continued walking towards her office. However, after a few steps, her wrist suddenly tightened, and she felt a strong force.
"Mat, is there something else?" Norah asked without much thought, assuming he needed her help with something.
However, when she saw the face of the person who had grabbed her wrist, her words caught in her throat. It was none other than Shawn.
They had just parted ways when he was still angry. His wound had not healed yet. How could walk like this? When would his wound ever recover?
"You don't want to see me so much?" Shawn misunderstood her intentions, and his expression darkened.
"That's not what I meant," Norah explained.
"Then what do you mean? You don't care about me and what I do with other people at all? You couldn't wait to come down just to see Matthew?" Shawn's tone was cold.
Norah was speechless. She had intended to explain, but when she saw his cold and distant expression, she suddenly didn't know how to explain.
Even if she explained, he probably wouldn't believe her in this state.
"Shawn, I didn't... I didn't say I wanted to be with Mat. We're just friends," Norah finally managed to say.
Shawn snorted. "I heard it all. He confessed to you and asked you to be his girlfriend, and you agreed."
Norah was shocked, utterly bewildered. She couldn't believe her ears.
She was left speechless for a moment, and then she began to explain, "You misunderstood. Mat's mother is seriously ill, and she has always wanted him to get married and start a family. So he asked me if I could be his girlfriend just for once to visit his mother."
"In this way, his mother might feel better, and her condition might improve faster."
Even though it was true, Shawn still didn't look happy.
She was his wife and his girlfriend. Even if they had separated, he thought she belonged to him, Shawn.
Although this was just pretending to be Matthew's girlfriend and was not real, what if it happened again, and again, and again?
What if they spent more time together?
What if they developed feelings for each other over time?
So Shawn's expression didn't improve at all.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Norah's wrist, pulling her along.
