Chapter 489
"The Larsons are unquestionably involved, as all evidence points in their direction. We have no idea if it
was a member of the family or if Sir was responsible," Shawn said.
"Still, he is one of the Larson Family," I objected.
After hearing myment, he merely smiled and said nothing. Then, I looked at him nkly, and he
led me to our bed, where he continued, "Yes, Sir intentionally withheld the truth from May, but he also
feels it''s important for her to be aware of it. Furthermore, there''s a war going on in his head right now.
He knew that if he didn''t provide a satisfactory exnation for what happened back then, she would
never forgive him. This means he''ll need to be ready for whateveres his way."
Shawn added, "If he did it, he would find a way out for himself. Perhaps, he didn''t do it. Anyway, there''s
nothing we can do but watch and see how they handle this situation. Soon, May will fill in all the nks
and answer all your questions. Hence, you''ll need to be patient."
He was implying that Sir would never let May go. Although she gave off the impression of being aid-
back woman, she never skimped on her investigation into Alba''s death. Moreover, she had always
wanted to know the truth. If Sir or the Larsons were truly responsible for Alba''s death, she was unlikely
to forgive him.
Suddenly, I recalled what Rudy had said about Sir and asked, "Is Sir a scheming and vicious man?"
He replied, "Everyone is unique, and some still believe I am a cruel and ruthless man."
Everyone had their own take on the world, so it was best not to pass judgment on others based on
what you overheard someone else say about them.
"Oh, I understand what you mean."
While I had my arms around his neck, he leaned down to kiss me, and I instinctively returned the
gesture by kissing his cheek. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and I quickly let go of him.
Then, I opened the door to find Emma standing outside.
"Shopping?" I asked with a frown.
"Can we?" she replied, fervently nodding.
Her level of impatience was unreasonable. So, it was unfathomable that she was eager to buy a
gamingputer.
Then, I stepped out of the room and closed the door. "Tell me the truth."
Emma''s face fell, and she replied, "It''s been a while since thest time I raced."
"Ah, so you wanted to race!" One of my least favorite activities is driving. Therefore, I avoid car rides,
particrly at the moment. After considering a few possible referrals for her, I added, "How about
Aria?"
"I''m not familiar with her," she answered.
"Ciara?"
"She''s so boring and quiet."
I was at a loss for words when she dismissed my suggestions.
Soon after, I ran out of names of people who could apany her, and Emma quickly realized that
she could not persuade me to do what she wanted. "Fine, I''ll go shopping by myself—"
Before she could finish her sentence, her phone began to ring. However, she was shocked to see the
name on the phone''s screen and eximed, "It''s Olivia. Since she got married, we haven''t kept in
touch. What prompted her to think of me? Is she back at Bryxton?"
"Answer the call," I suggested.
Then, she quickly slid her finger across the button to answer the call, and I overheard Olivia say,
"Emma, I''m in Bryxton visiting family. I have arrived at the airport, so pleasee to the Forger''s
Residence for dinner tonight. Don''t forget to bring Christopher."
Emma replied hastily, "He isn''t in Bryxton at the moment. I don''t want to go alone since the elders make
me ufortable. Right now, I''m at Renee''s house. Do you want toe over?"
"It has been a long time since Ist saw her. Alright. I''ll head back to the Forger''s Residence to drop off
my bags before going over."
"We''ll pick you upter," Emma said.
Now, I had no choice but to get out of the house.
Still, what brought Olivia back to Bryxton? A year had passed since we hadst seen each other. In
fact, nearly two years have passed since ourst meeting. During that time, she imed that she was
pregnant. On the other hand, she has beenpletely silent since her marriage. Simrly, she did not
post anything online.
"Let''s go?" Emma asked me after hanging up.
Suddenly, my head pounded at the prospect of the car ride. "Give me a moment."
Following that, I retreated to my bedroom to find Shawn hard at work on theptop. When I nced at
his screen, I noticed that he was working.
Seeing that I was staring, he patiently exined, "When I have time, I will keep an eye on thepany.
So, how about you? Are you going out with Emma?"
"Yes. Our friend is back in town."
"Be careful," he said.
Then, I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. My action made him smile, and he soon began to
tease me. "You''ve been clingytely."
I smiled in return. "Don''t you like it, Sunny?" Then, before he could respond, I continued, "You don''t like
it?"
As I continued to probe, Shawn simply hummed in cid acknowledgment.
"Does that mean yes or no?"
He sighed. "You are such a chatterbox."
"Answer me," I pleaded cutely.
"I do."
I got so excited after hearing that, and I did a little happy dance as I left the room. When I opened the
door, I saw Emma eavesdropping, so I raised my eyebrows and inquired, "What are you doing?"
"Tsk! You are so stubborn," she replied.
Her remark rendered me speechless.
Then, I reached out and gently prodded her head. "Why are you eavesdropping on a married couple''s
private conversation? Men appreciate women who make an effort like that."
"I can''t stand it," Emma said while making a dismissive gesture.
"Don''t act cute with Christopher then."
Soon, I closed the door and headed downstairs with her by my side. She retorted, "How can that be the
same? I''m not as sappy as you."
I told her she was being ridiculous, and she quickly changed the subject to something more intimate.
She asked, "Do you do it a lot with him? Are all men that energetic?"
I burst out into chuckles. "Does Christopher want to do it that often?"
Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
When I mentioned him, my heart finally calmed down. I was delighted that we both found happiness
and became best friends.
Suddenly, Emma''s face flushed, and she replied, "A little."
"He has always remained chaste in the past. However, since he has experienced physical intimacy,
why would he ever let you go? Handle this by yourself."
"I''m scared," she eximed, sighing.
I continued to chuckle without saying another word. After scanning the cars in the garage, Emma
selected an eye-catching sports car. As I put on my hat and got into it, I reminded her, "It may be
summer, but a strong breeze is still intolerable for me."
"I will drop you off near the Forger''s Residence and pick you up after I do ap around the
neighborhood," she promised.
"Okay. Don''t take too long."
Since the distance between my vi and the Forger''s Residence wasparable to that of the airport,
Olivia would have arrived before us.
Moreover, she ensured that the car''s roof remained closed throughout the journey to spare me the
ordeal of fending off the wind.
When we were getting close to the Forger''s Residence, Emma suddenlymented, "Olivia likes
Christopher, so it''s quite awkward when I meet up with her."
"You know about it?" I was shocked.
"She looks at him differently; there is light in her eyes. However, two years have passed. I don''t know
what she feels now. After all, it has been years, and she is married."
Everyone appeared to be married, as Emma, May, Olivia, and I had families. I had faith that Olivia
would eventually let go of the past and move on. Regardless of whether or not she did, it had nothing to
do with love. Otherwise, why would Olivia tie the knot with William? As far as I could tell, she did love
him.
"That is not the right way to approach this. You are her sister-inw, and she is married. Everyone is
leading their own separate and happy lives. Clinging onto the past would only give you more trouble."
"Oh, I am so petty."
