Chapter 2
Shawn was rushed to the hospital.
I was sitting on a bench outside the emergency room, waiting for Mian in a daze.
When Shawn saw me, he ran over quickly.
"Alice, are you okay?"
I looked up at him.
The worry in his eyes didn't seem fake.
Thinking about what Mian said, I couldn't help but feel that I was being too suspicious.
I told him what happened, but hid what Mian told me.
Shawn gently stroked my face which was swollen after the hit of the airbag, while looking anxiously towards the emergency room.
"How's Mian?"
"The doctor said she needs to take another CT scan, fearing that she might have a concussion."
"It's okay. I'm here. It's all my fault."
Shawn held me in his arms and comforted me softly.
A couple next to us who were arguing because their child had a high fever fell silent when they saw us.
Shawn was always calm and had a good temper.
This made many people envious.
But I was the only one who knew that it was because he didn't care about me.
Chapter 3
Shawn and I met through a blind date.
My father and Shawn's father were comrades-in-arms.
One of them had advanced lung cancer and the other had advanced liver cancer.
Our father's wish was to see us have our own family.
With the help of both parties, Shawn and I got together after we met.
We were together not because of love, but for our fathers.
We got married half a month later.
After marriage, Shawn treated me very politely.
He spoke softly and politely, just like a modest gentleman.
If I hadn't heard from others how he acted when he broke up with his first love, I would have thought he was just like that.
That day his partner Kevin White came to our house for dinner.
I didn't have classes in the afternoon, so I went home early and prepared dinner in the kitchen.
Shawn and Kevin didn't notice me when they came back.
Kevin was standing at the entrance telling how Shawn cried hysterically when he broke up with his first love.
I lost my grip on the shovel and it fell to the ground with a sharp sound.
"Alice, you're home?"
I picked up the shovel and met Kevin's evasive eyes.
Shawn naturally took the shovel from my hand and said softly, "I'll do it!"
It was then that I realized Shawn was not a man without feelings.
But the person he had feelings for was not me!
Chapter 4
Shawn was coaxing Mian to sleep in her room, and I was tossing and turning in bed.
I tried hard to recall the name of Shawn's first love that was mentioned by Kevin.
Just when I was about to figure it out, Shawn pushed the door open.
Seeing that I was not asleep yet, he was slightly startled.
"I'm going to take a shower first, you sleep first!"
I knew what he meant.
In the past six months, although we slept in the same bed every night, we never had sex.
Every time I slept close to him, he would find an excuse to get away.
"Okay!" I responded, turned over, and pretended to sleep.
I heard the sound of water in the bathroom, and I got up and picked up Shawn's cell phone.
There was no password, and the screen showed a photo of Mian.
When I opened WhatsApp, there was nothing unusual except for the conversations between him and the company employees.
Maybe I was overthinking it?
