Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 28

As they passed by the children's shooting game, Joye was attracted by a small wooden carving in the prize area. This was the first time she saw a man and woman's wedding theme carved with wood. Of course, there was another reason. The wooden carving made her feel as if she had seen her wedding with Shawn that happened three years ago.

He gave her everything she had been waiting for. The gaze she had been waiting for, the kiss, the diamond ring, and even the first night that she had been looking forward to. However, he did not give her the heart that she had been waiting to have for so long.

"You want that wooden sculpture?"

Yvon's eyes were gentle, his unique insight as a soldier was very strong. Before Joye could come to her senses and answer, he had already picked up a small gun from the side.

"Boss, 30 bullets."

"Sir, you need to pay for the bullets." The boss pointed to a corner of the card.”

Yvon smiled and nodded. Thirty modified bullets were immediately passed to him.

Joye struggled out of her memory, looked at the numbers below the wooden carving, and then looked at the target in the distance. She couldn't help but frown. The way it was set up was meant to cheat children out of their money.

"Are you sure you can hit the target?"

"I have been training for many years."

Yvon suddenly turned his head and winked at her like a child. The first bullet had already been fired, and in the blink of an eye, it hit the center of the target.

Bang bang bang!

Gunshots rang out continuously. Not only was the target hit, but the interval between each bullet was consistent. The boss's face became more and more depressed. A normal person might not be able to hit the target 30 times even if he used 300 bullets. What kind of person was Yvon?

It was a great loss!

"20! 21!"

Joye counted excitedly, like a child that was going to get her favorite toy.

"Mom, come here, I want that big bear doll."

Dalton just got out of the kangaroo ride. When he saw the big bear in front of the shooting game, he grabbed onto Vivian’s arm and begged her.

"But Mom can't shoot."

After saying this, Vivian looked at Shawn with some embarrassment. The little guy was very smart and immediately hugged his thigh. "Dad’s the best, he surely can ."

Shawn looked at the crowd with a smile, but the corners of his eyes suddenly narrowed dangerously. His anger was instantly aroused.

Noticing the change in his mood, Vivian looked over and a smile suddenly appeared at the corners of her eyes.

She swore that she hadn’t planned anything today. She just wanted Shawn to play with Dalton and strengthen their relationship. She hadn’t expected God would give her such a good surprise. She stopped smiling, squatted, and took Dalton's little hand.

"Dalton, if you like big bears, I'll buy you one from the mall, okay?"

"No, I want this one!"

After all, he was still a child. He threw a tantrum because he couldn't get what he liked. Vivian looked up at Joye and Yvon in the crowd, then she said gently and patiently, "Shawn, I think I'd better take Dalton away first."

"There’s no need to.”

Shawn's voice was cold and the hands in his pockets were tightly clenched. His sharp gaze was like a murderous knife as it shot towards Joye's excited expression.

D*mn it! Before Leonard Group could get back on track, this woman came out to fool around with another man!

"But..."

"No buts. It's not something difficult to get. If Dalton wants it, of course, I have to get it for him."

He suppressed his anger and walked towards the shooting table with a frightening sneer.

" 28, 29!"

Joye didn't feel the danger approaching. She stared at the target in the distance, feeling that there would be a miracle in the next second.

Bang!

Bang!

Two gunshots sounded almost at the same time. The last bullet that should have hit the target flew in a different direction as it was hit by something.

She frowned and looked over. She stiffened immediately like she had been electrocuted

Shawn held a gun in one hand and a hint of mockery flashed across his sexy lips. His disdainful gaze passed over Joye's pale face and stared at Yvon. "Your shooting technique seems to have gotten worse?”

Yvon was startled. He hadn’t expected to meet Shawn in the amusement park. He subconsciously lowered his head and saw the child beside him, who was looking at him eagerly. His brows furrowed.

"Shawn, don't mess around."

"I just want to play a shooting game and win a toy. How did that become messing around?"

He glanced at Joye as he spoke. "Or do you like the toys I've played with?"

Joye's hands, which were hanging on both sides, trembled slightly. In his eyes, she was just a toy that could be thrown away when he was tired of it. She was a toy that he had never even liked.

"Shawn, you just need to buy a bear for Dalton in the mall," Vivian said as she pulled Dalton in front of her and made it more obvious.

He twisted his body uncomfortably and said in a childish voice, "I don't want to go to the mall with Mom. I want Dad to shoot and win the big bear for me."

Joye stared at the little boy in front of her in shock. She felt that the previous 29 bullets seemed to have hit her heart all of a sudden. It was so painful that she couldn’t breathe.

He called Vivian, Mom, and Shawn, Dad. His name was Dalton?

The wound that had almost healed suddenly split open, and her heart was shattered into pieces. Except for her and the Richard family, very few people knew that Shawn's nickname was Dalton!

"Joye?"

Yvon retracted his gaze and held onto her arm worriedly.

However, the sunlight was so dazzling, she swayed and felt somewhat dizzy.

It must have been because she had screamed too much just now. She was now utterly exhausted and uncomfortable!

A man she had loved for so many years, a husband she had married for more than three years, already had a child with another woman!

As for her, the pathetic Mrs. Richard, she was only worthy of him to vent. She didn't even deserve to carry his child!

Shawn noticed that her face was as pale as paper and the tips of her brows twitched faintly. He felt vaguely uncomfortable too, but when he saw that another man's hand was holding Joye’s arm, it turned into anger.

"Isn't that Mr. Richard and his ex-wife? Isn’t that also his mysterious girlfriend?"

Someone recognized Shawn and Joye and exclaimed. It immediately caused an uproar among the people around them.

"The child is already so grown up. His ex-wife must have taken advantage of her family background to break apart this family, and now that she has taken all her in-law’s property, she has moved on to another man. She is too scheming!"

The surrounding discussion seemed to have exhausted all of Joye’s strength. It was all because of the support of Yvon's hand that she didn't fall. Her pale lips twitched. If she could force this man to marry her, she also could force him to give her happiness!

But in the end, she was alone and left in extreme pain. What was even more frightening was that she was still foolishly looking forward to the day Shawn would make her pregnant, allowing her to have a child before he slowly fell in love with her.

Looking back, it all seemed so ridiculous. His son could already talk and walk. He didn’t need her to have his child.
