Chapter 02 Dummy, I've Loved You for Ten Years
Chapter Two Dummy, I've Loved You for Ten Years
There was an acute pain in Norah's heart.
She clenched her hands tightly and said indifferently, "Let's not talk about it. He already fell in love with someone else, and he is about to remarry."
"Remarry? Has he been married?"
This answer surprised Shawn.
Two years of marriage and being together didn't make him a match for a married man in her heart.
Norah nodded lightly. "Yes. He used to be under pressure from the family and married someone he didn't love. Now his beloved girl is back, and they are about to enter the palace of marriage." After hearing this, Shawn was quite angry.
"Then he is a scumbag who did bad things to two girls at the same time. Such a man is not worthy of your love. Love someone else if you have another chance. You will be happier."
Norah Chase nodded. "I think so too."
But what could she do?
She had loved him for ten years until today.
Ten years. It was almost as long as her entire youth.
She couldn't change another person to love. If she could, she would have done that a long ago.
But some love couldn't disappear once it was rooted and grew.
"Shawn, I have loved you for ten years, you know? The person I love is not someone else, but you. Just you." Norah clenched her hands tightly and said it over and over in her heart. Shawn's brows were deeply wrinkled.
He looked at Norah as if he was thinking about something.
"Norah. "Suddenly, he called out to her.
"Yes?"
"Nothing."
Shawn shook his head.
He really lost his mind.
Just for a moment, he actually thought that the person Norah talked about was a bit like him.
But soon, he denied it.
He remembered that when they got married, Norah said that she had loved that man for eight years.
But at that time, they had only known each other for four years, so it was definitely not him.
It was someone else.
After Shawn left, Norah hurriedly to the trash can to find the pregnancy test sheet.
Then she smoothed it on the table and put it away carefully.
She was feeling more uncomfortable, and it seemed hurt to even breathe. She lay on the bed and fell into a drowsy sleep for a long time.
Until the phone rang.
"Hello! "Because she just woke up, Norah's voice was still nasal, soft, and charming.
"Still sleeping?" Shawn's voice came, as gentle as always.
"Yeah, just woke up."
It's almost noon. Remember to get up to eat. I have already given the gift to Anthony, and he will deliver it later."
"Gift? What gift? "After a sleep, Norah deliberately forgot a lot of things.
"For our second anniversary. Although I proposed a divorce in the morning, it is not done yet. I will remember my identity and fulfill my obligations. I will give you everything that other wives have."
Look at that. This was Shawn.
He always seemed to be so gentle, so considerate, perfect and flawless.
What a good husband he was!
So, so good.
Only one thing was bad. He didn't love her.
She was in a trance when Shawn's voice came again. "I still want to say sorry to you. There was a little interlude when preparing the former gift, so I gave you another one."
"OK!" Norah nodded, unable to explain what she felt in her heart.
They were about to get divorced soon. This so-called anniversary gift was a bit ironic.
After she hung up the phone, she got up and got changed. Then Anthony Flynn came.
He handed the gift to Norah respectfully. "Mrs. Lawson, President Lawson ordered me to give it to you.
"Okay, thank you."
The gift box was beautifully packaged, and it looked like a famous brand.
Although she knew that it was not the gift she had expected, she still opened it herself.
When she saw the ruby necklace and earrings, she smiled silently.
Shawn was trying to make up for her.
Because he couldn't give her the gift she wanted, he spent a lot of money to buy a whole set of valuable jewelry.
Last month, she went to a jewelry auction with him. There was a pair of jasper earrings at the auction which matched the jade bracelet her grandfather gave to her. They were emerald green and looked so beautiful and gentle. She liked them at first sight.
Shawn saw the expression in her eyes and took the initiative to speak, "If you like them, I'll buy them for you."
"No, they're too expensive."
After all, they were just in a contractual marriages. She didn't think it was proper to spend so much money of him.
"It's our second anniversary soon, so regard it as a gift from me. If you think you shouldn't have it, you can just give me a gift to pay me back."
So, she had expectations.
She didn't expect her marriage would leave her along with the gift he prepared in advance.
It seems that God also thought that they should not be together and should be separated.
Gift? She did prepare one carefully for him. It was a pity that he didn't want it.
Norah immediately stopped Anthony. "I made this cake myself. Please bring it to him for me!"
Anthony was stunned for a while, and Shawn's words echoed in his mind. "I don't like sweets. If she asked you to bring me cakes, just refuse it."
Looking at Norah, Anthony couldn't bear to refuse her.
After hesitating for a long time, he still told her the truth. "Mr. Lawson said that he doesn't like sweets. He knows you likes them, so he asks you to eat more." Norah clenched her hands, almost falling down.
After Anthony left, she carried the cake all the way back to her room.
Her weak body gradually slid along the door to the ground. Tears rolled down to the floor like water droplets.
Her heart hurt so much.
She had always known that Shawn didn't like to eat cream or cakes that were too sweet.
So she made this cake by herself, low-fat and low-sugar. There was only a faint milky fragrance, and was not sweet at all.
And there was no cream, only the cake.
But he was not willing to even try a bite.
Norah opened the cake and looked at the family of three carefully drawn on it. She smiled wryly.
Then, she suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed the cake and ate it like a maniac.
She lowered her head, completely disregarding her image. She ate desperately and frantically.
The cake was huge, and halfway through eating, she vomited.
After she vomited, she started to eat again.
She shed tears while eating.
The salty tears were mixed in the cake, and she couldn't tell what it was like. She only knew that she had to finish it.
She wasn't satisfied until she ate whole cake.
But then, she vomited and had a diarrhoea in the bathroom. Her stomach hurt so much that she was rolling on the ground. And she felt so ill.
In this world, no one except her mother knew that she was allergic to eggs.
So for her birthday, she always only ate cream and never ate the cake part.
But this time, she ate the entire cake.
She told herself that this was the last time she was so crazy and desperate for Shawn Lawson.
She wailed after the vomit.
In order not to let the others hear her, she covered her lips tightly to keep herself from making a sound. "Baby, I'm sorry. Mom can't keep dad by our side."
Dad doesn't love mom. He loves another woman. Although I hope he can stay, I can't be so selfish." "Baby, you must be strong. I can raise you well alone."
Suddenly, her phone rang.
It was Shawn.
Norah wiped away her tears immediately, adjusted her mood, and picked it up quietly. "Hello."
"You have received the gift, right? Do you like it?"
"Yes, I like it very much. Thank you!"
"Red suits you. It makes you look good." After a pause, Shawn said, "I won't be back tonight."
Suddenly, Lilian Fountain's soft voice floated to her gently, "Shawn, have you spoken to her? Come on, I have prepared our dinner..."
