Chapter 48: Unreasonable.

"We were married so long; isn't it a bit distant for you to call me Mr. Shaw every few sentences?" she heard him ask. This question caused her to look up at him sharply. She just realized that all through this night she has not truly looked at him directly. She saw that he

looked pale with a slightly dark undereye. He looked sick.

"Are you sick?" She blurted without realizing it. Before she could catch herself, the words had left her mouth. Daniel felt his heart dance. A part of him was convinced that she still cared for him.

"I apologize for prying into your personal matter, Mr. Shaw," she quickly apologized, She recalled that he did not like her prying into his matters.

"It's fine. I am surprised you asked, I thought that after our disastrous divorce, you would not bat an eye if I died," he said, looking pleased.

What is wrong is that I did not think that your call about an emergency was anything to pay attention to. What is wrong is that I was too stupid and arrogant," he said. As he talked, he stepped closer, forcing her back several steps just to keep the distance between them.

"What did you say?" She had never thought in her life that she would hear these kinds of
