Chapter Three He Hugged Her into Sleep
"Take care of yourself."
Shawn hurriedly said and hung up the phone.
"Okay, I will."
Although he hung up quickly, Norah still heard Lilian's voice.
She heard she say "our dinner."
It was ironic to that her husband was having a dinner with another woman on their wedding anniversary.
Lilian Fountain was really back!
Although she didn't want to believe it, it was the truth.
And this fact also made her feel desperat and defeated.
Even two years ago, she was tranced in the battle of love by Lilian.
How could she expect Shawn to choose her now?
Just because she was pregnant?
At this moment, Norah was thankful that she didn't say it. Otherwise she would really be humiliating herself.
She vented her feelings after crying.
Norah was calmer. Now that he had made up his mind, she chose to accept it.
After taking a shower, she lay on the bed.
After tossing and turning for a long time, just when she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly received a call from Ivan Holland, "Shawn is drunk and very noisy now. Come and bring him home."
Norah was puzzled. Wasn't he having a good time with Lilian together?
Why was he drinking with Ivan Holland now?
Norah was about to say that it was not convenient for her to pick him up and that she wanted to let him find someone to bring him back.
But Ivan Holland had already hung up the phone.
When she called again, his phone was already dead.
She endured the discomfort and got up from the bed. She changed her clothes and asked the driver to take her to the clubhouse that Shawn often went to.
It was quiet inside when she arrived.
Shawn was very drunk. He was sleeping on the sofa. His long legs were crossed and his tie was neat. He was as handsome as ever.
She had to admit that some people in this world were just perfect. They could maintain a good manner even if they were drunk, just like Shawn.
As soon as Norah approached, she wanted to vomit.
She guessed that it might be a normal reaction during her pregnancy.
After finally restraining the feeling, she looked at Ivan. "Why is he so drunk? Isn't he with Lilian?"
"So you know that?" Ivan looked at her and said sarcasticly, "Your husband is going to spend the night with another women, and you just let him be?"
Norah clenched her hands tightly, took a deep breath, and slowly released them.
She replied, "We have already negotiated a divorce. Except for the divorce certificate, he is already free, and I have no right to interfere with his life."
"Well.." Ivan looked at her with a sneer, "You are very generous."
"Norah, do you have a conscience? How does he treat you all these years? He pampers you like you are the most precious thing to him. Now he proposes a divorce, and you don't even want to try to keep him?" Ivan said emotionally.
Norah looked at him in astonishment. "I remember that when I married him, you were very opposed to it. Should you be happy now that I want to divorce him? Why are you even angrier than me?"
"It is a different situation now. I didn't like you back then. But now that you are married, you should cherish it and not treat it as a child's play. And..."
He paused and said meaningfully, "You suit him more than Lilian."
Norah called the driver and they helped Shawn to the car.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she got out of the car, she met Marty Lawson.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Marty looked at Shawn coldly. "You are married now but still get so drunk. You are not a decent husband at all."
