Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 19

Shawn seemed to have expected that she would say that. He took the menu from the table and smiled. "Thank you. Oh, right, I suggest you buy more stocks of the Richard Group. That way, you can afford this meal."

Joye knew that he was mocking her for accepting Baird's shares. She clenched her fists tightly but managed to hold back her anger.

"Give me one of your most expensive specialties."

After glancing at the menu a few times, he impatiently handed it to the waiter beside him. The smile on Vivian's lips froze for a moment before it slowly recovered.

After the meal, Joye felt she had gone too far this time. When she was paying the bill, she couldn't help but frown when she saw the numbers on it.

She couldn't sell any of the Richard Group stock, but this meal was worth a lot of money.

The four of them walked out of the restaurant in pairs. In front of them, Shawn was holding Vivian, and his eyes were doting as he looked at her. "How was the meal?"

When Vivian was about to answer, he suddenly touched her lips. "Look at you, your lipstick is ruined." As he spoke, he gently rubbed her lips with his fingers.

"Shawn, stop fooling around. Yvon is watching."

Vivian avoided him and blushed. Joye was walking behind them, so she could watch as her so-called husband flirted with another woman.

"I'll send you back."

Suddenly, she felt someone else's warmth and strength. She turned her head and saw Yvon looking at her with a smile.

Shawn happened to turn his head and his eyes narrowed when he saw Yvon holding Joye’s hand.

"Okay."

Joye smirked. This was a good moment for her to take revenge! Even if it was a little one.

They got into their cars and drove off. Once the familiar car plate number could no longer be seen in the rearview mirror, the smile on her lips disappeared. Yvon slowed down the car and opened the window so that she could take a breather.

"You know Vivian, don't you?"

Just now, he noticed her gaze when she saw Vivian.

"Of course. If she hadn't gone abroad and left Shawn back then, I wouldn't have enjoyed the glory of being Mrs. Richard for three years."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on her face. If it wasn't for the fact that Shawn had broken up with Vivian, no matter how persistent Baird was, she wouldn’t have become Mrs. Richard so easily.

"Let's not talk about this. I wanted to treat you to a good meal to return the favor. Now it seems that I owe you another one."

He looked at Yvon apologetically. What he did just now was very disrespectful.

"Then find some other time to treat me to a meal."

Yvon smiled and parked the car on the side of the road. He bent down and opened the door for her. "Do you remember this place? Do you want to go and get some fresh air?"

Joye followed his gaze. This was the riverside where she vented her pain after realizing that her family was dead, and he thought she wanted to commit suicide and had saved her.

"That’s a good idea."

She got out of the car and held the guardrail by the river. The salty wind blew on her face. Although it was not pleasant to smell, her mind was much clearer.

Yvon didn't get out of the car. He simply sat quietly in the car and looked at her slender figure. The setting sun shone on her, making her forlorn figure look even more beautiful.

His suppressed emotions exploded, and there was determination in his eyes

Joye, if you and Shawn are separated, I hope to be the person who can protect you and not make you sad.
