Chasing After My Beloved Wife

Chapter 23 I Can’t Live Without You



Chapter 23 I Can’t Live Without You

The smile on Vivian's face grew when she saw that Joye was silent.

"Anyway, Miss. Leonard, I am very grateful for your care for Shawn in the past three years. But now

that I am back, I want to amend my wrongs as soon as possible—"

"So?"

Before she could finish her words, Joye had already interrupted. She straightened her back and said,

"Miss. Hilary, you keep calling me Miss. Leonard. It seems that you have forgotten that I am still

Shawn's lawfully wedded wife. Please address me as Mrs. Richard."

"Oh, and there's one more thing you should know. You're fired."

She stepped forward and tugged the badge on Vivian’s chest, tilting the badge. Vivian frowned and

asked, "What do you mean?"

Joye sneered, "I am the biggest shareholder of the Richard Group, meaning I am more qualified than

the man you took from me to decide if you can work here. I'm sorry. I don't want you here, Miss Hilary."

Vivian didn't expect that Joye, who looked weak, would have such a strong side. Her expression

changed slightly, but she quickly recovered.

"I understand. It doesn't matter. I believe that Shawn will arrange a more suitable position for me, such

as—"

Vivian deliberately lengthened the ending, but she didn't finish her words. Instead, her lethality

increased as she walked away. Joye stared at Vivian's back as Vivian left with a faint smile. She

couldn't contain the anger in her eyes. Compared with Yelena and the other women Shawn was with

before, Vivian was a stronger opponent.

As she breathed in and out, she smelled the lingering scent of perfume, and her desire to use the

bathroom was gone.

When she left the Richard Group building, the secretary had driven the car to the entrance. Seeing that

she didn't look well, the secretary couldn't help but ask. "Miss. Leonard, are you unwell?"

The crisis of Leonard Group was over, but why was Joye's face so pale?

"I'm fine. Just drive."

"Okay."

As soon as the car arrived at the parking lot gate, Shawn's Rolls-Royce sped over from the other side.

The two cars almost collided with each other.

Joye was shocked as she grabbed the handle over the car's door. Through the windshield, she saw

Shawn's aloof smile and the woman who said she would accompany him for the rest of his life in his

passenger seat.

"Miss. Leonard—" The secretary didn't expect that the adulterous couple would be so arrogant and

wanted to speak up, but Joye said, "Let them go first."

Coldly, Joye looked at the two in the other car, not bothering to fight back.

"Shawn, thank you for not forgetting me for the past three years and for giving me a job in the Richard

Group. But your wife doesn't seem to welcome me there."

When the Rolls-Royce drove on the spacious road, Vivian said softly, "I think I'd better change my job."

"Okay. Which company do you want to go to? I'll talk to them for you."

Shawn didn't even look sideways as he drove the car. His straightforward reply caused her to press her

lips together, and disappointment flashed across her smiling eyes.

In fact, when she was in the restaurant a day ago, she had already noticed how much Shawn cared

about her. She thought that even if she had a conflict with Joye, he would ask her to stay.

Unexpectedly, he agreed without hesitation.

"What's wrong? If you don't want to work, you can do whatever you want to."

"Shawn, you hate me, don't you?"

Vivian reached out and held his hand that was grabbing the steering wheel. Shawn had no choice but

to slow down and stop the car on one side of the road. He turned his head and frowned. "You are

overthinking."

"No, I know you hate me. It's all my fault. Three years ago, I went abroad to further my studies and

pursue a life that I thought was right, but I hurt you."

Vivian shook her head, and her eyes instantly turned red. "What I did was wrong. Shawn, can you

forgive me this once? I came back this time to make up for my mistake and return to you."

"I love you. From then till now, I have never stopped loving you."

There was a slight tremor in her soft voice. She raised her head and inched closer to him.

When she was only a few centimeters away, he reached out and pushed her away. "Vivian, I don't hate

you, nor do I forgive you. What happened between us is already in the past."

Three years ago, she left him without notice. It was true that he was hurt and thought that he still

wanted to be with her. But when she came back, he couldn't feel the same way for her again.

"No, we aren’t over yet. I can't live without you."

Tears flowed from her eyes as Vivian wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face into his

chest. "You know you still have feelings for me, and we have Dalton. This morning, Dalton has been Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

asking for you to accompany him. He is still so young. Shawn, I beg you, let's start over."

Shawn stretched out his hand and wanted to push her arm away from his waist. When she mentioned

Dalton, he froze, and his expression changed slightly.

A kid with a pair of big, bright eyes flashed across his mind, calling at him in a childish voice, "Dad, I

miss you so much."
