Chapter 1132


    Shawn was working in town, and he had a great, stable job everyone wanted.


    When Logan drove her to his workce, she called him. Shawn said he’d be right out, and they ended


    the call. L heaved a sigh and looked at Logan. “Wait right here. I’ll go and talk to him.”


    Logan trusted her to handle this well without needing any help from him, and he nodded before replying


    gently, “Sure. Call me if you need anything.”


    Without replying, L went to Shawn’s workce, and out came Shawn to see her when she was


    reaching his office.


    He didn’t know Logan was the one who gave her a ride, so he was happy to see her. “I’ll be going to


    your ce tonight.” He trotted toward her. “You didn’t have toe.”


    Smiling at him, L put her hands in her pockets and stared down. “I have something to ask you.”


    Shawn nodded. “Sure. What would you like to know?”


    A smile curled her lips. “You have an ex-girlfriend, don’t you?”


    Shawn froze, and he looked away. “That’s normal for guys my age, don’t you think?”


    It was, and L knew that, but that wasn’t why she was concerned. “I heard she got an abortion


    because of you. Is that true?” Faced with her questioning, Shawn said nothing.

    Even so, judging by his reaction, she got what she needed, but still L continued, “If you think this is


    also normal, then I want to ask the reason for your breakup.”


    Shawn pursed his lips, and his face fell. He didn’t want to face that particr problem, for the reason


    wasughably trivial. The mere mention of it prodded him, hurting his dignity, feeling as if a thousand


    ants had crawled over him.


    And then L kept on, “I know this happened before our date, but it’s normal for me to be concerned,


    no?” Still she didn’t get her answer, so L stared at him. “I want to know the truth. I don’t want to


    know about it from anyone else but you.” She then added, “I know you won’t lie to me.”


    Shawn heaved a sigh. “Yes, it’s true. The reason for our breakup was because of the dowry. She asked


    for more than what my family could afford.”


    L nodded. “Can you tell me about the dowry, then? How much did she ask for?”


    Once again, the question remained unanswered. Strictly speaking, his ex-girlfriend didn’t ask much, but


    it was his family who refused to pay instead. She had dated him for three years and even gave her


    virginity to him. Thus, his family thought that effectively meant nobody would marry her aside from


    Shawn, so to them, she was worth nothing. Shawn couldn’t tell that to L, though. What would she


    think of him? The fear of her loathing prevented him from answering.


    At this, L smiled. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Because the answer’s too unbelievable?”


    Shawn stared at her and stammered, but in the end, he couldn’t say a word.


    L wasn’t angered at his silence; she was as calm as an undisturbedke. “When I first found out


    about it, I wondered if I might end up like your ex once I met your parents. I don’t know what your family


    considers a ‘good’ daughter-inw, but I do know that I’m terrified of them. I’m scared that they might


    think I’m worthless.”
