Chapter 851
Tonight, Halsey wore a black satin slip dress that perfectly showed off her graceful, youthful figure. Her hair was styled in loose waves, giving her a relaxed yet elegant look. On her delicate oval face, she wore light, refined makeup, adding a touch of feminine charm to her naturally soft beauty.
Madeline gently nudged Halsey forward, making her blush a little. She glanced at Shaun and said, “Hey.”
Shaun looked deeply at Halsey, stunned by this new, alluring side of her that he had never seen before. He couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Madeline burst out laughing. “She’s talking to you! Shaun!”
After being called a few times, Shaun finally snapped out of it and cleared his throat.
Madeline teased, “She looks so gorgeous tonight that you’re totally stunned, huh?”
Feeling Shaun’s intense gaze, Halsey’s cheeks flushed red.
Patricia smiled warmly. “Come on. Sit down.”
Halsey and Madeline took their seats.
Madeline looked at Shaun. “You still haven’t answered my question. Isn’t Halsey beautiful?”
Shaun nodded honestly as he looked at Halsey. She is.”
Madeline giggled softly.
Halsey felt her face burning.
The waiter started bringing the food. Cyril glanced at Shaun and asked, “Do you have a partner?”
“I’m single now,” Shaun replied. Then he added, “Three years ago, I got badly injured in the face. Chelsea is a doctor, so she’s been by my side all this time. Our relationship is strictly doctor and patient.”
Halsey’s heart skipped. Was he explaining this to her?
So, Chelsea was just his doctor!
Patricia’s eyes were fixed on Shaun’s mask. “What happened to your face?”
Madeline was curious too. “Yeah, why do you always wear that mask? Your face…”
Shaun paused before saying, “I was hurt before, but it’s better now!”
He didn’t want to talk more about his face, so Cyril changed the subject, steering the conversation toward business matters.
‘Halsey looked at Shaun’s face beneath the mask. Even if he didn’t say it, she could tell he cared
bout it.
He used to be so handsome, but now his face was completely ruined.
When Shaun turned his head, his eyes met Halsey’s. She was looking at him with a soft, pitying gaze, like she was watching a wounded little animal. Her eyes were gentle, full of compassion.
Shaun froze, feeling like a part of his heart sank.
Catching his gaze, Halsey quickly looked away,
Right then, her phone buzzed with a text.
It was from Shaun.
Halsey opened it. Shaun’s message read, [Why are you staring at me like that?]
