Chapter 784 Candidate For Beta
Sylvia''s POV:
Shawn was speechless, but when he noticed ir''s toned arms, he didn''t dare say anything more
and instead got out of the pool in silence.
ir snorted on the poolside and watched Shawn with evident insult.
Furious and embarrassed, Shawn gritted his teeth.
The servant quickly brought clean clothes, which Shawn changed into while suppressing his anger.
Then he continued to lead us to the dining room, but this time, he behaved obediently and didn''t
dare provoke ir anymore.
Finally learning his lesson, Shawn kept his mouth shut along the way. ir and I were happy to
finally have some peace and quiet.
We soon arrived at the dining room. I thought it was just a simple meal, but I didn''t expect Shawn to
hold a big party.
Inside the hall were ten long white tables. Hanging on the tall dome ceiling were bright crystal
chandeliers that cast a glittering radiance on the tableware. There were fresh flower baskets in
every corner, and those tender petals were stained with water. It was obvious that they had just
been ced in the hall.
The banquet hall was already full of people, who were all high-ranking members of the pack.
When they saw us, they all rose from their seats to wee us.
It reminded me of when a principal gave a speech in school, and the students would get up to greet
him in this manner. My toes almost curled up with embarrassment and difort.
With a straight face, I strolled behind ir and followed Shawn inside.
We took the first avable table. On either side of us sat the pack elders, while the three of us sat
on the same side, facing the others.
ir didn''t touch any of the food. He just sat there, motionless and silent.
I took a few bites of the food on the te and soon lost my appetite. Many people came to tter
me and made a toast from time to time. Most of them had bullied me before, so I wasn''t really
delighted at all to see them again. I only put up with the boredom long enough to deal with a few
people before eventually losing interest in the meal.
I set down my fork and knife, sat silently like ir, and only took a sip of water from time to time.

Shawn, who was seated to my right, was chuckling merrily.
His anger over getting kicked into the pool seemed to have vanishedpletely. It was reced by
the enthusiasm towards ir and me. Seeing that ir and I didn''t eat much, he thought the food
didn''t suit our taste, so he asked the servants to clear our table and serve other dishes.
Dozens of delicious dishes were served on the long banquet table. Knowing Shawn''s character, he
might throw all of them away if we didn''t finish.
I tried my best to contain my impatience, pressed Shawn down, who was about to get up to call
people, and whispered, "No need to change the dishes. The food is fine."
"Really? Then eat more. You look much thinner than before. Eat more meat and gain weight."
Shawn grinned broadly and mmed a piece of stewed chicken with red wine vinegar on my te.
I pursed my lips and smiled, taking a sip from the water ss to quell the nauseous feeling in my
stomach.
Damn it! My baby hated the strong smell of red wine vinegar.
Sitting next to me, ir seemed to notice something. He frowned and looked at me. "Sylvia, you
look so pale. Are you okay?"
I shook my head and pushed the te away from me. Enduring the retching in my throat, I said
gently, "I''m okay. Aren''t you hungry? Ew..."
My throat started to grow more and more queasy.
I quickly put a hand over my mouth and swallowed to stifle it.
ir frowned and whispered to me, "Morning sickness?"
I nodded slightly. "I think so."
With a ss of wine in his hand, Shawn abruptly rose to his feet and eximed to the crowd, "I''m
really delighted that Sylvia has returned to our pack again. We haven''t had fun like this in a long
time, so all of you have a wonderful time tonight. Taking this opportunity, I sincerely want to invite
Sylvia to remain in our pack as the Beta and help us grow together."
I sat up straight and sneered. It seemed that Shawn still hadn''t given up yet.
