Chapter 4
I ate the rice in the bowl quietly without saying a word. It tasted like wax.
My brother opened his mouth, but he hesitated to speak and sighed repeatedly.
There was food residue at the corner of Lilian's mouth. Shawn wiped it off for her, but Lilian stopped him with a smile.
"Shawn, I asked you to clean it with your mouth." She moved her face closer.
Shawn was stunned for a moment, then smiled and kissed her.
Lilian turned to look at me proudly, "Sonia, don't mind it. Shawn has been enjoying it since that night. You are still a single girl. You will understand when you have a boyfriend in the future."
The meal was tasteless and I put down my bowl and chopsticks, "I'm full, you guys eat slowly."
No matter how stupid my brother was, he knew about the two of them.
After the meal, he was so angry that he slapped his thigh. "You little fool, why did you give up such a good opportunity last night to Lilian, that dead green tea!"
"Shawn can't see that she is scheming, can't I see it? They showed their affection at the dinner table today just to make you angry. I said that you and Shawn have a good impression of each other..."
I interrupted him, "Brother, don't say such things in the future."
My brother looked at me in disbelief. I smiled, "I don't like Shawn anymore. Brother, please help me arrange a blind date."
My brother really loved me. He confirmed again and again that I was not joking and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He said, "My dear sister, you finally thought it through. I have long advised you not to hang yourself on a tree. Although Shawn is an excellent man, there are many men who are better than him."
"I will contact you Mario Lorenzo, the rich young man of the Lorenzo Family, the marriage partner you rejected before. His family business is much bigger than the Barton Family. He is also handsome and like you, he has never been in a relationship. When you meet him, you may like him."
I obediently took out my phone and added the contact information. I thought it would be difficult to give up Shawn, but when I really gave up, I found that it was just like that.
This time, I could finally change the fate of my daughter and me.
"Shawn, please help me put the suitcase back to your room." Lilian's voice came with a smile.
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at me, "Sonia. Shawn's villa is not yet renovated. He wants to see me all the time, so I have to move in and stay with him for a few days. You shouldn't mind, right?"
I shook my head, "Of course not."
I watched Shawn help her carry the luggage, busying around and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Thinking of the previous life, after that one-night stand, Shawn was afraid that Lilian would be sad, so he sent her abroad in the name of studying abroad. After the hasty wedding, he also lived abroad for many years. I gave birth to my daughter Tiana alone and waited for him to come back, but he showed up at the airport hand in hand with Lilian.
At that time, his eyes were always cold and indifferent when he looked at me, unlike now, when he always looked at Lilian with warm eyes.
As soon as I turned around, I suddenly bumped into something head-on. Lilian splashed herself with a basin of water, but burst into exclamation.
"Lilian!" Shawn's face changed and he immediately rushed over to protect Lilian, looking at me vigilantly.
Lilian hid in his arms and cried as she said, "Sonia, if you don't want me to move in, you can just say it. This dress is a gift from Shawn just now. It's very expensive and I cherish it very much. Why did you have to deliberately bump into me and dirty it?"
I explained helplessly, "I didn't, I didn't mean it..."
"Enough!" Shawn interrupted sharply,
He looked at me with squinted eyes. "Sonia, I told you not to play these tricks. If you don't like Lilian living in, we will move out the day after tomorrow."
Chapter 5
Then he didn't give me a chance to explain. He picked up Lilian by the waist and went back to change clothes. Lilian hooked her neck and smiled proudly at me.
When Lilian came out wearing the dress I cherished the most, my face turned pale.
Shawn said confidently, "Anyway, you haven't worn this dress since I gave it to you, so why not let Lilian wear it first."
I smiled bitterly. I didn't wear that dress because I couldn't bear to part with it.
In all these years of knowing each other, Shawn only gave me this as a birthday present. And after knowing that I had a crush on him, he never gave me anything again, so I kept this dress like a treasure.
But now, I nodded lightly, "Okay, I can't wear it anymore and I was planning to get rid of it or give it away."
In the next few days, Lilian pestered Shawn every day to show his affection, as if he was doing it deliberately for me to see.
On the day when Shawn knelt down to propose in person, I was restless and had a car accident. Although it was not serious, I was still sent to the hospital by passers-by.
They came to see me in a group and Lilian's face wrinkled and she was about to cry.
"Shawn, is it because we are engaged that Sonia was so upset that she deliberately got hit by a car? It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on you proposing to her, Sonia wouldn't have gotten into trouble..." She blamed herself.
Shawn comforted her with heartache, "It has nothing to do with you, dear, the milk tea I ordered for you is here, go get it first."
As soon as Lilian left, Shawn frowned and accused me harshly. "Sonia, do you have to make trouble on the day when I proposed to Lilian? Do you really want to break us up? I told you a long time ago that you should put away all your thoughts and there will be no result between you and me!"
I smiled faintly. "Shawn, you misunderstood, I only regard you as my brother. And you think too much, I got into a car accident and it has nothing to do with you."
Shawn didn't believe it, he said thoughtfully, "I will marry Lilian soon, Sonia, you If you can be more open-minded, you should find a boyfriend and give up your thoughts on me."
I nodded. "I already have a boyfriend."
"If you don't have one, then you don't have to lie!"
Shawn's eyes fell on my face. He just felt irritated for no reason and couldn't breathe for a moment.
But at this moment, Lilian pushed the door in with milk tea. She handed me the milk tea with a smile, but deliberately showed off the diamond ring on her ring finger to me.
"Sonia, don't waste your energy. No matter what you do, it will only make Shawn hate you more. See, Shawn only has me in his heart. He put this diamond ring on me personally. You should give up this idea."
Before leaving, Shawn looked at me deeply.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have a boyfriend. You are Juan's sister, which means my sister. As long as you don't have those messy thoughts, I can support you for life."
Hearing this, Lilian cast a resentful look at me, but pretended to be understanding. "Yes, you can also treat me as your own sister. Shawn and I will take care of you.”
But I didn't lie. I really have a boyfriend.
My eyes fell gently on the gardenia on the bedside table, which was given by my boyfriend Mario.
At first, I just agreed to my brother to try blind dating first, but when I arrived at the coffee shop, I found that Mario was actually the male model I slept with that night. I blushed when I saw him, but unexpectedly, he smiled and pushed me against the wall as if he expected it.
"Are you shy? What, weren't you very proactive when we met last time? "
Chapter 6
I thought it was so embarrassing and didn't want to contact him again, but I didn't expect to be followed by a little hooligan when I returned home at night. It was Mario who showed up and punched the other person a few times and sent me home.
On the way, I asked him, "Aren't you a male model?"
He drove his car with his eyes looking forward and raised his eyebrows, "Who told you that I am a male model?"
"It was you who was so impatient that day that you randomly pulled a man to flirt with him. Fortunately, I went to the club to inspect that day, otherwise I don't know which man was harmed by you."
I was so angry that I punched him, but he held my hand and put it in his arms.
"Sonia, I have liked you for a long time. Would you be my girlfriend?"
Even the car accident that happened was a small accident because I was distracted and didn't look at the road when I heard that Mario was proposing marriage. Every time I thought of his face, I felt a little happy in my heart.
After being discharged from the hospital, I went out early and came back late. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when I came back. Shawn was standing at the door in casual clothes.
He had a complicated expression, "Sonia, have you been deliberately avoiding me recently?"
I was stunned and smiled, "You think too much."
But Shawn blocked my way, frowned and grabbed my wrist, "It's better that I think too much. My wedding with Lilian is coming soon. I advise you not to play any tricks."
I broke free from his hand and said sincerely, "I wish you a happy marriage. "
Shawn's expression finally eased, but his eyes fell on my neck and his expression changed again and again.
"Who hurt your neck? Could it be a mosquito bite again?"
That was the mark that Mario insisted on leaving during the day, saying that he wanted to declare his sovereignty. I used to be afraid of causing misunderstandings, but now I had a boyfriend officially, there was no need to hide.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Shawn's face became even gloomier.
After saying that, I turned and left, but I didn't notice that Lilian, who was hiding in the corner, had a pale face and a flash of jealousy in her eyes.
"Good boy, I'll take you to a good place."
That day I received a message from Mario and was about to go out happily to keep the appointment, when I saw Lilian playing with my swing in the yard.
"Sonia!" Shawn's voice came and I pretended not to hear it.
But when I came back at night, Shawn kicked open the door of my room angrily. He slapped me in the face, with uncontrollable anger on his face.
"Sonia! How can you be so vicious? Lilian just played on your swing, but you were so jealous that you had to do something to the swing and made her fall. Are you satisfied that she is in the hospital now?"
