Sold to Mr. Arrogant novel Chapter 79

I called each one of them and asked to meet at the bar we always go to. At first, they threw some excuses but when I told them that Shawn would like to get to know them, they became more curious. I was waiting for them to come not knowing what to talk about with Shawn.

After we got married, the distance in our relationship grew wider, I still don't know why was he cold and suddenly he acted this kind. He keeps confusing me with his mood change.

"Hey Lily, how are you doing?" Carla showed up from behind me as she started speaking.

"I am fine, where are the others?" I asked happy to see her.

"Diana is parking her car; they will come in a few minutes,"

"This is Shawn, Shawn this is..."

"Carla, I heard a lot about you from Lily. I am glad that I finally get to meet you," Shawn stated interrupting me.

Damn the fuckin background check, it is as if he knows every little detail of every individual in my life.

"I am honored, I never thought I would be able to meet with the famous Shawn Gerald, never have it ever crossed my mind honestly," Carla giggled.

"Neither did I," Diana added.

"Hey, Lily, it has been a while,"

"That is true, how have you been doing?" I asked.

"Fine,"

We all sat including Jenny at a table in the corner, I have just noticed that no one beside us was at the bar, which is weird because this is the weekend and usually this place is filled up with a lot of human beings.

"What are you going to order, girls?" Shawn started.

We gave the waiter our orders, I was feeling a little bit distanced from them, I was feeling insecure as I thought that they might have lost their interest in me. Would they be able to forgive me for what I did?

"So, how is your marriage?" Jenny wondered.

"She is playing hard to get even after marriage, isn't she obnoxious?"

Shawn wrapped his arm around my fragile body, which caused the chair to even bulge in his direction.

"Awee, that is just how she is," Carla replied.

"Lily was so upset she couldn't tell you about her marriage, my dad was slightly strict about inviting anyone from her side but I somehow convinced him,"

"Lily? Why didn't you tell us that you couldn't invite us?" Diana was surprised.

"Is that why you didn't tell us about your marriage, oh, poor girl," Jenny sighed.

I glanced at Shawn who smiled cheekily at me; did he plan for this from the start? How did he know that this bothered me though?

"I was embarrassed, I am sorry I could not get myself to tell you," I pointed out.

Clara left her seat to hug me.

"I am sorry we misunderstood you, silly girl... We thought that you were ashamed of us which hurt our pride. Who knows there was an underlying reason for what you did,"
