Chapter 828

At that moment, Shaun spoke up, his voice firm.

“Warren, don’t joke about things like that.”

Immediately, Chelsea stiffened.

Shaum’s tone grew sharper. “I’m grateful to Chelsea for taking care of me these past three years, but she’s just a friend. I don’t appreciate jokes like that.”

The flush instantly drained from Chelsea’s cheeks, leaving her pale Shaun had never given her any hope she knew he didn’t feel the same way.

But Chelsea wasn’t ready to give up. A man like Shaun was too good to let slip away. How many couples in this world truly married for love?

She was convinced that she was the one who best suited Shaun.

Warren raised his hands in surrender. “Okay, okay, no more jokes. I’ll just focus on driving.”

The car fell silent. Shaun pulled out his phone and opened WhatsApp.

He wanted to send Halsey a message, but his fingers froze over the keyboard. He didn’t know what to say.

Halsey returned home.

Cyril had already been discharged from the hospital, and he sat in the living room with Patricia.

Seeing Halsey, he stood. “Why were you out so late?”

Halsey hurried over. “Please sit down, Dad. I went to see Mr. Payne today, and he said he’s not going to end our cooperation.” Patricia’s face lit up. “Really? That’s wonderful! You went to see Mr. Payne alone?”

Halsey answered, “No. I ran into Mr. Lane. He helped me.”

“Mr. Lane? You mean the new business star, Shaun Lane?”

Cyril had heard of Shaun’s name. The business world was small, and someone like Shaun–who had taken his company public in just three years–was rare. Most people had heard of him, one way or another.

Halsey nodded. “Yes, that’s him.”

Cyril looked puzzled. “But you didn’t know Mr. Lane before this. Why would he help you?”

Halsey didn’t want to hide the truth from her parents. “Actually… Shaun is Dwight.”

“What?”

Cyril froze.

Patricia’s eyes widened. “Dwight? Isn’t that the guy you dated three years ago?”

Back then, when Halsey and Dwight were dating, Patricia was overseas. She had rushed home after hearing Halsey was in a relationship, but Dwight disappeared, so Patricia never got to meet him.

Halsey nodded again. “Yes, that’s him.”

ㄜ

Cyril smiled knowingly. “No wonder! I wondered where this new figure in the business world came from, and it turns out to be Dwight. I always knew he was special–he’s a force to be reckoned with.”

Patricia’s focus shifted to her daughter’s feelings. She reached out and took Halsey’s hand. “Are you two together again?”

Halsey’s body tensed, then she shook her head. “No.”

Patricia pressed on. “Why not? I know you’ve never stopped thinking about him these past three years.”

Halsey was silent for a moment before saying, “He has a girlfriend now.”

“What?” Patricia was stunned.

Halsey stood up. “I’m tired. I’m going upstairs to rest.”
