Chapter 367 Stirring up Trouble

"Honey." Zev sent a pouty emoji, looking a bit down.

Kelly smiled lightly but didn't respond to him.

Shawn quickly came out, looking like there wasn't much to worry about.

"How's it going?" Kelly asked.

Shawn sighed. "The doctor wants me to come back tomorrow morning for a fasting blood test. They also scheduled me for a colonoscopy, and I'm kind of freaking out."

Kelly smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. Medical procedures have come a long way. If they do the colonoscopy under full anesthesia, you won't feel a thing. Just rest well afterward, and everything will be fine."

Shawn looked a bit off, hesitating for a long time before speaking. "Kelly, I don't have many friends in Seaville, and my family... Well, it's just my dad. You know my situation. I'm a bastard child, and he doesn't care much about me. The doctor said I needed a family member to accompany me for the procedure. Could you come with me?"

Kelly inwardly rolled her eyes. Didn't you have an assistant?

But Kelly smiled and nodded. "All right, once you've scheduled everything, just let me know in advance. I'll make sure I'm free."

Shawn looked much lighter, and it was obvious he felt a lot better. He nodded, a bright smile spreading across his face. "Thank you."

Kelly gave a light smile but didn't say anything.

Shawn seemed to perk up, becoming more cheerful as they talked and laughed. He even waited for Kelly in the parking lot and insisted on driving her to Wagner Residence for dinner.

Shawn's goal was clear-he wanted to win Kelly over. If that wasn't possible, he'd at least try to break up Kelly and Zev. He was the type of person who could fake deep emotions very convincingly.

"Here you go." As Kelly walked out of the office building, Shawn handed her a lollipop. It was surprising-a CEO like him putting effort into creating a little romantic gesture for a girl.

Kelly paused for a moment before accepting the lollipop with a smile. "Thanks. I didn't expect you'd like this. I thought you'd think snack was unsanitary."

If Kelly were younger, she might have thought Shawn was a decent guy, but she wasn't a naïve 18-year-old anymore. No matter how well he disguised himself, she saw through the cracks.
