Chapter 1217

Heh.

She must have put her strength into the bite.

He merely shrugged off the pain, then he turned to the two bodyguards posted by the entrance and ordered them sternly, “Keep an eye on her, don‘t let her out.”

The bodyguards answered dutifully, “Yes, sir.” John slung his coat over his shoulder and walked to the adjacent courtyard.

Celine was standing in the courtyard at the time and upon seeing John’s return, she immediately sprang into the living room.

When John entered the living room, he saw Shannon standing in front of the couch. It seemed like she had been crying for some time, she wore a hurt expression.

“John...” she called after him in a sorrowful voice.

John smiled at him as gently as he always did.

He walked to the couch next to her and sat down himself, then he turned to her, “Don‘t just stand there, come on and sit.”

Shannon sat down as she was told and looked at him timidly, “John, did you and my sister... did you two...”

“I‘m the one who has done you wrong.” John smiled without emotion and said to her, “We‘re engaged but we haven‘t obtained our marriage certificate yet, it’s not too late if you want to call it off and go back to your family. I can compensate you accordingly and give you a respectable sum of money that you should be able to live off for the rest of your life. If you leave now, I will transfer the money to your account right away.” 1

Shannon‘s eyes widened, and tears soon flowed from her eyes.

She bawled her eyes out, “John, is that all you have for me? I married you because I loved you, don‘t you have any feelings for me the entire time?” John took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes with it. He spoke softly as he continued caring for her,“ Shannon, we both know that you are no fool. I‘m sure you know the true reason for me marrying you this entire time just like how I know your true motives behind marrying me.”

Shannon‘s eyes quivered, she was suddenly stunned and unable to move.

She gazed at the handsome man in front of her, she silently observed his kind gestures in caring for her and wiping her tears. Contrary to the warmth of his gesture, she felt nothing but a terrible shiver run through her body, a degree of coldness she had never known.”

“I... I don‘t have any hidden agendas, I just wanted to marry you because I love you.” She vowed. John smiled, “Shannon , you’ve been married to Mason for five years before marrying me.”
