Chapter 16


    Chapter 16


    The window was hell down, revealing Sullivan’s noble visage.


    Dressed in a ssic ck and white sult, it looked as if he’d just emerged from some upscale


    gathering; there was a hint of rxation about him, making Megan seem all the more disheveled by


    contrast.


    Through the miny night, their gazes met and held in silence.


    Megan’s lips quivered from the cold. Her hands clutched at her violin as if it were thest lifeline in her


    existence. She knew this was the olive branch Sullivan was extending to her


    All she had to do was swallow her pride and get into the car She would immediately have a clean


    nket and hot shower, wouldn’t need to perform at the mall the next moming, and would wake up in a


    luxurious and softrge bed, resuming her role as Mrs. Lowry


    once more.


    But that wasn’t what she wanted!

    Megan stood in the rain, quietly locking eyes with him.


    As the rain grew heavier, it wet hershes and blurred their vision of each other.


    For about a minute, she on forward in the rain with one hand over her head.


    Droplets sshed up, speckling the expensive car body.


    She passed by him in the rainy night, their paths diverging.


    In the dead of night, the sound of Megan running in the rain knocked on Sullivan’s heart… softly, dully,


    He didn’t leave the car, he let Megan pass by. He saw her pallid face. He noticed her beautiful fingers


    bandaged with medical tape, her simple clothes, and the total absence of any fine jewelry on her.


    Yet even so, Megan didn’t bow to him.


    The rain continued..


    In front of the windshield, the wipers swayed tirelessly.


    Inside the car, the driver and Bianca sat in silence, both aware of Sullivan’s foul mood.


    After a long pause. Sullivan finally spoke softly, “nca, can you exin why Megan isn’t working at


    that training center and instead chose to perform with this rather undignified performancepany?


    Does she like to suffer?”


    Bianca was greatly shocked. After contemting for a moment, she spoke in a low voice, “I thought


    this would make here back home sooner! Mr. Lowry, I can exin to her that this wasn’t your


    intention.”


    In the dim light, a crimson glow lit up between Sullivan’s fingers.


    He smoked with an air of distinction


    Through the thin haze of smoke, Sullivan’s voice carried a hint of mockery, “In her heart, what


    difference does it make whether you did it or I did?”


    nca rxed slightly.


    But then Sullivan snuffed out his cigarette and turned his voice icy, “Get out


    nca was stunned, “Mr. Lowry, it’s raining outside.”


    Sullivan leaned back into the leather seat, tilting his head back slightly, his pale neck and strong


    Adam’s apple visible in the dark


    He chuckled derisively. “Megan can run out there, why can’t you? Bianca, what makes you think you’re


    more delicate than Megan?”


    Bianca was utterly embarrassed. She knew this was Sullivan’s way of punishing her for undermining


    Megan without his consent. His message was clear either get out and run or get out of the Lowry


    Group altogether.


    She had underestimated Megan’s ce in Sullivan’s heart and overestimated her own!


    With shaky legs, Bianca stepped out of the car.


    The rain was heavy, drenching her business suit


    Her whole head and face were drenched, and with gritted teeth, she took off her high heels.


    She began to run through the rain!


    The driver in front was dumbstruck, knowing full well that nca was usually haughty, priding herself


    on being Mr. Lowry’s junior, she always looked down on others.

    Who would have thought she’d see this dayl


    Sullivan reclined in the back seat watching quietly, but his thoughts were with Megan.


    He pondered, why he insisted on having Megan return?


    Megan’s disposition was too gentle, not to his taste. Truthfully, Sullivan had never truly liked anyone.


    Even the idea of marrying Cressida had been more about the astonishment of a violin’s melody that


    lingered in his memory upon waking.


    Butter on, he no longer enjoyed the music whenever Cressida yed. It gave him a headache!


    As for Megan, it must have been habit.


    The other day, he had misced his cufflinks, and if Megan had been there, she would’ve told him their


    exact location immediately. And just yesterday moming, as he went to the wardrobe to change, he got


    a static shock from a metal handle.


    It was the first time since they had married.


    With Megan around, she always paid great attention to the humidity in the house. In autumn and winter,


    she would wrap anything that could generate static with insting covers… Life with Megan was


    actually quitefortable. But he took pleasure in it while disregarding her.


    On this rainy night, Sullivan sat in the car, thinking of all the things about Megan. He concluded at the


    end that the reason he wanted Megan to return was because she fit the role of Mrs. Lowry, not


    because he had fallen for her
