My Big-Buck Ex Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 27 As Thin As Treading On Thin Ice

As Shawn spoke, he looked at Windy. Seeing that she kept her head down, he asked, "Windy, do you think so?"

Windy? He called her honey just now, but now he called her Windy so intimately. Humph, this man was really good at acting. He acted so well in front of the two old people. Didn't he think that he was lying? Didn't he have a conscience?

"Yes, grandpa. We will get along well with each other in the future." After a while, Windy said against her will.

Ted nodded," That's good, that's good."

Wilson also smiled gently and said, "Since you two get along so well with each other, your grandfather and I can also save a lot of energy in the future."

Hearing Wilson's words, Shawn just pressed his thin lips tightly and said nothing. While Windy just smiled and said nothing. Only Shawn and Windy knew that they were just pretending to be harmonious. In fact, their relationship was still as thin as treading on thin ice.

For many days, Shawn and Windy played the role of a harmonious couple. Gradually, Ted believed in the harmonious relationship between them, and relaxed his vigilance against Shawn.

In the past few days, Shawn did a good job. Except for several times when Carol took the initiative to call him, he seldom contacted her, which slowly relieved Windy's vigilance against her sister.

However, this seemingly calm surface was not so calm in fact.

Seeing that she failed to make an appointment with Shawn every time, Carol thought that Windy was deliberately preventing her from meeting with Shawn. She was very angry. It seemed that she needed to take the initiative.

It happened to be Saturday today. Carol called Shawn again to ask him out to meet her, but he refused her with the excuse that he had to work overtime on weekend.

In the past, Shawn never worked overtime on weekends, but today he worked overtime. How could Carol believe it?

Therefore, she decided to go to the Yu's manor in person to see if Shawn really went to the company to work overtime or did he do something else?

As soon as Carol arrived downstairs, she met her mother, Sally. Seeing her rushing downstairs, Sally asked, "Carol, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Mom, I have something to deal with." With such a simple sentence, Carol quickly walked through the living room and went out.

Sally shook her head helplessly. She didn't expect that her eldest daughter was going to see Shawn now. She also knew that she couldn't forget Shawn. Seeing that she was so painful because of him, as her mother, she felt bad.

But she had no choice, because her younger daughter had married Shawn. Now she could only try her best to persuade her eldest daughter to let go of Shawn. Otherwise, the two girls would suffer pain and even quarrel with each other for a man, which was the last thing she wanted to see.

Therefore, Sally was worried about her two daughters every day. What she feared most would happen, but it would happen in the near future.

In the garden house in the backyard of the Yu's manor...

It was the hottest season in a year. Windy didn't go to work because she was afraid of the heat. She closed herself in the garden house to enjoy the cold. When she felt bored, she read books and felt at

ease.

Most importantly, she could enjoy the quietness of a person here, and she didn't have to accompany someone to play the role of a loving couple in front of Mr. Ted and Wilson. She could also avoid his sight, in case that the two of them had an unnecessary dispute and revealed the secret in front of Mr. Ted and Wilson.

However, Windy wanted to avoid someone, but someone might not let her go as she wished.

Seeing that Windy was hiding here, Shawn also followed her. Seeing her sitting on the sofa with her back to him and reading so seriously, he doubted if she was really reading and pretended to be elegant.

With a mocking smile on his lips, Shawn walked unhurriedly behind Windy. He leaned over to look at the book in her hand, but she seemed not to notice it and completely immersed herself in the content of the book.

"If life is just like the first sight." Shawn read the name of the book and frowned. What a bad book this woman was reading.

However, when Windy heard someone talking behind her, she was obviously frightened. After a sudden shudder, she sat up straight, turned around and glared at the man behind her, shouting unhappily, "Shawn, are you a ghost? Why are you walking without any sound?"

By passing the long sofa, Shawn walked up to Windy. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked down at her. He completely ignored what she had just said and said disdainfully, "you are so absorbed in reading such a childish book. You deserve to be frightened by me."

Hearing this, Windy was immediately irritated by Shawn. Was this man too bored? She had deliberately avoided him, but he still came to make trouble for her.

Ignoring his unreasonable provocation, Windy stood up from the sofa and was about to leave the garden house, but was stopped by Shawn. His tall body stood in front of her, giving her no chance to leave at all. He even coldly questioned her, "Windy, do you know that you have violated the first rule of the marriage agreement?"

What was the first rule of the marriage agreement?

The first rule flashed through Windy's mind: Windy must cooperate with Shawn to play the role of a couple, especially in front of the elders.

Instantly, Windy frowned and retorted, "Shawn, don't make trouble out of nothing. I didn't break the first rule at all. I've been trying to cooperate with you to play the role of a loving couple in front of grandpa and mom. What's wrong with it?"

Shawn was 1.85 meter in height, much taller than Windy's 1.65 meter figure. He still looked down at her and nodded at her confidently. "Well, you don't know what you have done. Let me tell you in detail."

"Did you spend the weekend half a month ago in the garden house?" Shawn asked.

Windy thought for a while and nodded, "Yes.".
