The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 53

Tommy rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

How did Shirley enter Jack's dying mom's ward?

At that time, he was in a trance.

Step by step, he slowly walked towards the ward.

In the ward.

Seeing Shirley, Sophie kindly smiled and told Daisy to greet Shirley.

It was different from what happened in Elissa's room.

Shirley seemed like a different person at that time. With a face full of smiles, she kept pampering Sophie.

Shirley even peeled the apple for Sophie herself.

It was poles apart in comparison to how she was before.

Shirley and Sophie were chatting happily without any barrier in the ward.

From the outside, Tommy could see everything inside the ward clearly through the glass on the door.

His head was buzzing so he just stood lifelessly by the door.

It was even more like a crash on the computer, he couldn't think at all.

Everything before his eyes confused him.

He really couldn't imagine Shirley, that had always been a cold goddess to him and his family, would be so gentle in front of Jack's dying mom.

More importantly, how did Shirley know Sophie?

Time slowly passed.

All the people in the corridor gazed at Tommy oddly.

But Tommy couldn't care less about other things.

He was fully paying attention to the ward.

Just like that, for half an hour.

Shirley finally stood up and wanted to leave.

When she opened the ward's door and saw the lifeless Tommy, the smile on her face disappeared.

After the brief panic, Shirley calmed down and coldly asked.

“Why are you here?”

Tommy quivered. He quickly snapped out of it as the anger in his heart raged up

“I...”

Before he shouted it out loud, Shirley suddenly looked cold, “Don't disturb her rest, or else I won't be polite anymore.”

After speaking, she just turned around and walked away.

Tommy hurriedly chased Shirley, “Shirley, what was that? Shouldn't you explain in to me?”

“Explain what?” Shirley glanced at Tommy in disgust.

She had never been explaining things to Tommy explain.

Moreover, what happened was she had unexpectedly bumped into Tommy.

She couldn't explain it clearly too.

“That dying old woman in the wars... Why are you visiting her?”

Tommy glared like an angry male lion.

“Tommy, enough! Are you even properly brought up? What's with the dying old woman?”

Shirley berated, “No matter how, she's your ex-brother-in-law's mother. What's wrong with me visiting her? Because of our matter, your sister divorced. I visited her out of guilt, so aren't you being irrational?”

Tommy froze.

Was it really like that?

Before he could react, Shirley stepped forward and hugged him.

She then tiptoes and kissed him before speaking softly, “All right, it's not what you think. I was just visiting out of guilt, take care of your mother well and raise enough money for the betrothal... Then, we can get married.”

“Really?”

Tommy was happy, “You're not blaming us anymore for what happened last time?”

“You fool, how could I blame you guys?” Shirley rebuked and waved her hands, “All right, I'm going to work first... Don't over think it.”

Seeing Shirley's back figure, Tommy stood still in shock and joy.

He was indeed angry because Shirley visited Jack's mom.

But in his heart, the highly educated Shirley would indeed be smoother in dealing with people than him.
