Chapter 666 A Surprise From Shawn

It was Shawn in the car, and he was wearing a golden silk shirt. The fabric looked soft and glossy, and it matched him well, especially since he was already so handsome and dressed up meticulously. His hair was parted to the side, which made him seem gentler than usual.

"I had a feeling that the chances of Francesca surviving were very low. I thought you would be upset, so I came back in advance to accompany you."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

I leaned over and wrapped my arms around his neck. As my body settled in his embrace, my bare arms touched the coolness of his shirt. Out of habit, he placed his palms on my waist, then explained, "You'll be more surprised when I appear while you're sad and unaware. This way, you'll be less sorrowful."

Surprised, I asked, "Did Kev teach you that?"

Shawn looked at me gently and answered, "Yeah."

It had been half an hour since Shawn messaged me.

I said to him with concern, "You waited for me for half an hour."

"It's alright. I had nothing to do anyway."

I kissed his cheek and explained, "When you messaged me, I just finished washing the dishes. It seemed impolite to leave immediately after the meal, so I sat and watched TV for a while."

Even though I had no interest in that particular cartoon, I had a sense of calmness when I was with Ezekiel.

Having harbored a secret crush before, I understood the thoughts of a secret admirer. I thought that staying by his side a little longer would make him happier.

At least his mental state would be better.

Shawn wrapped his arms around me tightly. "Let's go home."

I rested my head on his chest and asked, "Which home? Gary said that the new villa that you just bought is still under renovation."

Staring down into my eyes, Shawn replied, "I remember you have an apartment in Bryxton. I've been there before. You coughed up blood that night."

He showed no concern when I was coughing up blood that night.

We had only just known each other back then.

"Your memory is really good, Sunny."

It was still raining outside. I gave the driver the address and lay in the back seat, complaining in Shawn's arms, "My heart is filled with sadness, and seeing this rain makes me even sadder. Anyway, I have to visit the Gants in Sundew tomorrow."

"I'll come with you."

"After Francesca left, her parents took over the control of Gant Corporation again. I heard that they passed the company to Francesca a long time ago, as they probably weren't interested in the business. However, it'll take nearly twenty years before Tammie is able to manage the company independently. I thought about asking Anthony to take care of it for me privately."

"No need. The fact that Gant Corporation has grown to this size and stands firm in Sundew is all thanks to Francesca's parents. The couple has a lot of experience in managing the company, and they will continue to support Tammie for another twenty or thirty years."

"I'm relieved to hear that."

Suddenly, he covered my eyes with his hands. "Since you hate the rain, close your eyes." His voice was full of magnetism.

"But I can still hear the rain." I tried to find fault.

"Consider it a concert."

Laughing, I replied, "How can the sound of rain alone be considered a concert? Besides, the sound of rain is not as melodious as music."

"The reason why humans are wiser than animals is because they have a vivid imagination. You studied music, so you should be able to imagine better," he said.

"I suspect you're just teasing me. Are you trying to make me feel better? You're more willing to chat with me now than before."
