Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 12

Allison furrowed her brows, wondering how this guy could be so full of himself. Where did Shawn get all that confidence? Did he really think she couldn’t live without him?

Shawn's eyes brimmed with disappointment as he shook his head at Allison. “Allison, I thought you understood the huge difference between us. I figured you'd be sensible, but your constant push for marriage has really let me down.”

Allison blinked in confusion.

Shawn turned and walked away, the bedroom door slamming shut with a loud bang.

Allison just shook her head in exasperation. She had planned to use today to properly break up with him and let him know she was the Owens family heiress. She was all set to head back home to get engaged to Joshua. But Shawn hadn't even given her a chance to speak.

Maybe Shawn's confidence that she was dead set on marrying him was her own doing. She had always played the part of the easygoing, understanding girlfriend by never checking up on him, never getting jealous, and rarely prying into his life. Except for the physical side of things, she pretty much went along with whatever he wanted.

This might have given him the idea that she couldn’t live without him. What Shawn didn’t know was that she’d long realized he never planned on having a future with her.

A year ago, she was thinking about taking Shawn back to Oak Lake to reveal her identity as the Owens family heiress. But then she overheard a phone call between him and his mom, Cindy.

“Mom, don’t worry. I know you wouldn’t approve of our marriage. I’m just dating her for now. If it ever came to marriage, I’d have to get your blessing first.

Your son isn’t some lovestruck fool. I know the difference between dating and marriage.”

Well, wasn’t he just the clear-headed one?
