Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 37

After leaving the restaurant, Joye bid goodbye to Yvon with the excuse that she wanted to get her car from the police station. Janina sat in the passenger seat and rubbed her full stomach. "Just drop me off at a hotel nearby. Hey, where’s my luggage?"

"Oh no! I must have left it in that scumbag's bar. What should I do? My passport and ID are still inside."

"It’s alright. Come stay over at my place."

Joye drove the car with a focused look on her face. She did not tell Janina her thoughts. “I just have to find time to get the luggage back for Janina, so she won’t have to make any unnecessary contact with Connor.”

"Your place? Won’t Shawn get mad if I stay over at your place?"

Janina raised her eyebrows suggestively, completely oblivious to the truth. Joye did not bother to explain, so she drove quietly into her apartment, Birming Apartment.

"You and Shawn live here? I thought you two live in a luxurious villa."

After Joye unlocked the door, Janina entered the apartment. She frowned a little when she entered the room, but quickly smiled again. "Apparently, the dignified Shawn is a man who likes to live a simple life."

Joye did not want to confuse Janina. She found a set of clothes and handed it to her before saying, "I live on my own."

"What?"

Janina was taken aback upon hearing such shocking news. Joye was staying on her own?

"Janina, please don't ask me anything. You'll understand soon."

After that, she got up and headed to her bedroom. Only ten days were left between Shawn and Joye. Soon, they will become strangers.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She frowned when she looked at the caller ID but still picked up the call.

"Hello, Grandpa?"

“Little girl, can you please come home? I have something to tell you.”

Joye’s grip on her phone tightened upon hearing Baird’s pleading. She did not want to go back and face Shawn.

“Little girl, come back and visit grandpa for a while. Please?”

Joye hesitated for a moment before giving him her answer.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Since she could not bring herself to refuse him, she could only agree to go back.

"Janina, please make yourself at home. I'll be back soon."

"Where are you going?"

Noticing Joye’s pale expression, Janina began to grow curious and wondered who Joye was talking to on the phone earlier.

"Don't ask so many questions. I'll be back soon. There's yogurt in the fridge. Drink some. It helps improve digestion."

Joye took her car key and left the apartment after reminding Janina.

Meanwhile, Shawn had also received a call from the Richard family. He dropped Connor off at the door to Red Sleeves's then turned back to the Richard family's old house.

As soon as he entered the house, he noticed something flying toward his head from the corner of his eye. Fortunately, he was swift enough to dodge the flying object. The next instant, a teacup fell to the ground with a clang and broke into pieces.

"How dare you come back!" A fierce roar came out from inside the house.
