Regal Guard of Dragon novel Chapter 2

People around there were astonished. Did Maura Shawn have a fever to speak such nonsense? Did she mean that if Finn Chen couldn’t go in, she wouldn’t go in as well?

“Maura Shawn! Do you want to betray the family for an outsider?” Hank Shawn looked furious. He didn’t think Maura would say such words because of Finn. The Ceremony of Ancestor-Worship was one of the most significant activities in Shawn’s Family. Once it was held, every member of the family had to attend, which was the unshakable rule!

The descendants of Shawn’s Family would be regarded impious once they missed the ceremony.

If Maura didn’t go in the Ancestral Shrine, in terms of the master of Shawn’s Family, Scott Shawn’s temper, she would be expelled from the family.

Therefore, the nature of this matter was definitely serious!

“Maura, go in. Your cousin is right. They are the ancestors of Shawn’s Family, not mine, so it’s inappropriate for me to go in.” Finn said.

He knew that someone must give in between Maura and Hank, or both would be punished.

But Maura would be punished more severely. Finn didn’t want Maura to be expelled, so he had to stand out and give in.

Even if it was humiliating, and he would be mocked more by the public, but Finn still willing to.

For Maura, he could give up all his dignity.

“Finn...” Maura sobbed. She knew the reason for Finn’s compromise. But the more Finn did such, the more reluctant she was, and the more guilt she got.

“Well, I’m going to work. I’ll be back early in the evening.” Finn pretended to be at ease and then left without looking back.

Though Finn was severely humiliated, now, his mood was quite calm, and even a little bit secretly surprised, because the word Maura had said before, “he enters, I enter!”

It was the first time in three years that Maura stood on his side and firmly chose him in front of her family.

For this word, Finn felt that all his grievances were deserved!

After work, Finn went home and began to cook.

Finn was good at cooking. When he was adopted by Grant Shawn three years ago, he actually gained Grant’s acknowledgment with his excellent cooking skills.

In Grant’s word, all men doing well in cooking were good.

At that time, Maura had a good impression on Finn as well. With Grant’s help, he became the adopted son-in-law of Shawn’s Family.

However, after their marriage, a lot of contradictions broke out gradually.

Grant was not taken seriously in Shawn’s Family so that his business was getting worse. Finn had no talent in business, so he couldn’t help Grant but live with delivering food.

Life had been becoming harder and harder, so Finn’s mother-in-law, Leah had also complained about Finn’s uselessness and thought he didn’t deserve Maura.

If Finn didn’t appear, for the sake of Maura’s pretty appearance, she must have to marry into a reputable family, so that Leah would have to live well.

Finn couldn’t refute this. He was an illegitimate son, with little money and poor educational background, definitely inferior to Maura, who was indeed a beauty graduating from a prestigious university and keeping the image of the goddess on campus for the whole four years.

The only thing he could give Maura was his sincerity.

But in this world, sincerity was always the most worthless thing.

Putting the prepared food on the table, Finn wondered. It was later when Grand and Leah came usually, but why did they so slow today?

The telephone rang.

“Finn, Dad...Dad was hit by a car...”

Finn’s face changed color. It was Maura’s voice, but the message it sent was frightening.

Did she say that Grant had a car accident?

“Maura, don’t worry. I’m coming.” Finn hung up the phone and then quickly went to the hospital.

When he arrived, Finn saw Maura weeping on a bench.

Leah was stamping around with anxiety.

“Maura, what’s going on?” Finn trotted to Maura and asked anxiously.

Slap!

Before Maura opened her mouth, Leah came up and gave a slap in Finn’s face.
