Chapter 1213


    "You!" Shannon’s face was red with anger." You''re simply despicable.”


    Theo raised his eyebrows. "You got a problem with that?"


    Shannon raged. "Can you not be so petty? It''s just one night. Besides, it''s not like I''m going to


    devour your wife."


    "She''ll die if I leave," Theo faintly said.


    Shannon,"..."


    She red viciously at Theo and turned around to enter her own room.


    I looked at Theo. "She probably just wants to have a chat."


    Shannon might seem loud and open, usually caring about nothing. However, she was actually very


    vulnerable and insecure on the inside.


    Theo gently sighed. "Go spoil her, then."


    He cupped my face and nted a kiss, reminding me, "Don’t stay up toote talking. Go to bed


    early."


    Seeing that he had agreed, I smiled and praised him generously, "You''re the best, Theo."


    Theo smiled slightly. "If you know that, then you’ll be more obedient from now on.’


    After saying that, he hinted at me to go to Shannon.


    Shannon’s room door was not locked, so I was able to open it after giving it a gentle push.


    The main color of the room was pink. The bedsheets and covers were also pink. making it very


    feminine.


    Shannon was ying with her phone while lying on the bed. When she heard someoneing in,


    she thought it was the caretaker, so she said, "Don''t worry about me. Go next door and see what


    our guests need."


    I stood by the bed and smiled slightly. "I need you right now."


    Shannon immediately sat up, looking at me with glistening eyes. "Your husband agreed to let you


    sleep with me?"


    I nodded. "He wouldn''t dare to disagree."


    "Forget it." Shannon sneered. “You think I have no idea about your status in the family?"


    Why must she embarrass me like that?


    Must she expose me like that?


    Shannon chuckled mischievously. "But seeing how you''ve challenged Theo''s status in the family


    and came to apany with no hesitation, I''ll love you forever."


    I burst outughing. "More than Jordan?"


    "Of course. His ce in my heart will never exceed yours."


    "Don''t sound so confident, or you''ll only embarrass yourself next time." I nced at the time. "It''s


    gettingte. Go shower before going to bed."


    Shannon leered at me and said, "I want to take a shower with you."


    I gently hit her and said with a helpless face, "Stop messing around."


    After pushing Shannon into the bathroom, I took out my phone from my pocket and sent Theo a


    text.


    Me: [Have you taken a shower?]


    Theo: [I wish to go back on my word. I can’t sleep without you.]


    Me: [Come on, I’m sure you can fall asleep ]


    I touched my slightly warm cheeks and switched off my phone.


    This man was getting better and better at saying honeyed words.


    Shannon was done showering, and it was now my turn.


    Half an hourter, the two of usy on the bed and got ready to sleep.


    "Wanda.” Shannon embraced me.


    "What''s wrong?" I smiled. "Are you thinking about Jordan?" ''Of course not." Shannon lightly


    snorted. “

    I''m not lovesick. I don’t think about him all


    the time." "What are you thinking about, then?"


    Shannon pursed her lips. "Aren''t you curious why I was kidnapped?"


    I frowned. "You roughly talked about itst time."


    Shannon''s parents thought she was too ignorant and sent her to that school in a fit of pique.


    However, that was not a good school, so Shannon burned it down and tried to escape while the


    ce was in chaos but failed to. When she woke up after passing out, she realized that she was


    being sent to a foreign ce.


    "I don''t know where to start talking about my father''s personality. He doesn''t give much love to his


    own children. He''s indifferent to his core, so he dated my mother, a woman who''s exactly like him."


    Shannon’s tone was t.


    I did not say anything because I was bad atforting people, so I remained quiet and just


    listened.


    "I wanted them to love their children like other parents, and as the children grew, they would give


    them adequate love and care. But those were merely wishful thinking. Pressure was all I felt when I


    was with them. After growing up, I understood that not all parents loved their children. But apart


    from epting it, I simply had no other choice."


    I pursed my lips, empathizing with her.


    I had envied Cecilia when I was young. She had parents who loved her, something I wished to have


    as well. Every day, I wished I could grow up a little faster so I could find them. I always imagined


    what kind of people they were. However, the moment I finally found them, I understood that


    imagination was always the most beautiful, while reality was always cruel.


    Shannon took a deep breath. "A lot of people wanted to be my friends because of my background,


    but I know they weren’t sincere. All of them approached me with a purpose. Although I knew that, I


    never exposed them. I was too lonely. Even if they weren’t sincere about our friendship, I couldn''t


    bring myself to let them go."


    I could understand how she felt.


    Children whocked love at such a young age were all afraid of being alone.


    I gently sighed and rolled over to hug her." Things will get better.”


    Shannon was slightly choking with sobs now. "I got to know a girl in that school, and she was really


    nice to me. I treated her as my best friend. She was the one who gave me the idea to set the ce


    on fire and escape when the ce was in chaos. She was also the one who trampled on me hard


    the moment I got caught."


    She continued after a pause, "The heavens didn’tpletely abandon me, though.


    They brought me to you. You''re the only one who’s sincere about being my friend, and I''m really


    happy about it. This may be a blessing that I have umted for the past 20 years."


    I was deeply saddened by her words and hugged her tight, saying, "I promise that you''ll be happier


    from now on."


    Shannon nodded. "When are you and Theo going back to Whaldorf City?"


    She changed the subject so fast that I was not able to react for a while.


    Aftering back to my senses, I asked with a smile, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"


    "I want to go to Whaldorf City and start a life there with you guys. I''ll go wherever you go in the


    future anyway and pester you for the rest of your life. My grandparents are old. They hope that I''ll


    have someone to rely on. Theo is like a brother to me, so you''re like my sister-inw. Don''t even


    think about distancing yourself from me."


    I burst outughing. "Sure, I won''t distance myself from you."
