Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 46

On the wide road, a Bentley attracted many people's attention, but Xaria did not seem to care. She instructed her driver, “Drive faster. I don’t like seeing these poor people here.”

An awkward expression flashed across the driver's face as he quickly sped up. No one else in the capital could rival the wealth of the Richard family. In Xaria’s eyes, everyone else was poor.

Xaria fiddled with the phone in her hand. It was the day that the b*tch would sign the divorce papers. No matter what, she could not let her get her hands on Shawn’s shares.

"Are you sure that poor... Vivian lives in the villa here?"

"Madam, yes, I am sure. Ever since she and the boy came back to the country, Master Richard housed them there.”

"That boy is the grandson of the Richard family!”

Xaria glared at the driver with dissatisfaction. Vivian was really lucky. With her lowly background, she would have never been able to join the Richard family. But she had Shawn’s son. What mattered now was that Joye was trying to get hold of the Richard Group’s shares, otherwise, Vivian would never have been able to marry into the Richard family.

"Hurry up. If I’m late because of you, you can leave the Richard family!”

"Yes, madam."

When the driver heard that he might lose his job, he drove faster and soon stopped outside a villa.

Xaria was in no hurry to get out of the car. She gave the driver a look, and the driver immediately got out of the car and rang the doorbell.

"Shawn, you're back?"

Vivian asked while happily pushing the door open. When she saw that the person standing at the door was not Shawn, her smile disappeared. “Who are you?” she asked.

"Miss Vivan Hilary, I am the driver of the Richard family. Madam wants to see you.”

A hint of surprise flashed across Vivian's face. She nervously tugged on her clothes and followed the driver toward the car.

Xaria saw Vivian’s reaction earlier and smiled arrogantly. Poor people were undoubtedly poor. Just by looking at her behavior, she could tell that Vivian was lowly. But this was good because Vivan would be easier to handle than Joye. Once Vivan and her son were accepted into the Richard family, it would be easier to push her around.

“Madam, Miss Hilary is here.”

When the car door opened, Vivian looked at Xaria and shifted her gaze away. She just stood at the door of the car and did not move, emotionless. Xaria snorted coldly and said, “What are you doing, just standing there? Get in.”

"Yes." Only then did Vivian sit in the car, but she did not move at all.

"I’m here to see you today because I want to give you a chance. I know what happened between you and Shawn, that you have a son with him who is already three years old. People like you will not be allowed to enter the Richard family, but since you already have a son, I will not be so heartless.”

Xaria said arrogantly, “As long as you listen to me, I will allow you and your son to be part of the Richard family.”

Vivian seemed frightened and had nowhere to place her hands. “Aunty, I brought Dalton back not because I want to use him to get close to Shawn. It’s just that out there, Dalton is considered a b*stard, and I don’t want him to get bullied, that’s why…

"A b*stard! How dare they bully a grandson of the Richard family!”

Xaria had always been protective of what was hers. When she heard that her grandson was being bullied, her expression changed.

There was a flash of emotion in the corner of Vivian's eyes. She lowered her head and said softly, “I know that you don’t like me, and I don’t expect you to accept me. But the reason that I came back this time is to show my son that he has a father, a grandmother, and a grandfather as well.”

Hearing the word “grandmother,” Xaria’s expression calmed down. There was even a look of anticipation in her eyes. She wanted to hear Dalton call her that.

"You said that his name is Dalton?”

"Auntie, I'm sorry. I missed Shawn too much, so I named him Dalton. It’s kind of a nickname.”

Seeing the frightened look on Vivian's face, as if she was afraid that she had said something wrong, Xaria raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, “It’s fine, he can have a different name when he grows up.”

"Sure, I’ll do as you say. But Shawn has not thought of a name.”

"What is there to think about? He should be called Jasper Richard. It is a good name.”

"Jasper, it sounds like a good name.”

Vivian smiled slightly and quickly lowered her head. Xaria looked satisfied and said, “I was also the one who gave Shawn his name.”

Xaria had always wanted a grandchild, and she was happy that she could find such a good name.

"Thank you, Aunty. Dalton will be called Jasper in the future."

"Yes."

"Now that you’ve distracted me, I forgot what I wanted to talk to you about. Bring Jasper with you to the Richard family later.”

It was only then that Xaria remembered her goal in seeing Vivan that day. As long as Baird, the head of the Richard family, could see his grandson, Shawn would not give his shares to that b*tch. Baird might even feel guilty and take all the shares back.

"Aunty, Shawn is getting a divorce today. I can't go."

Vivian lowered his head to avoid looking at her face, and then she heard Xaria’s angry voice.

"You will go when I tell you to go. You don’t have to worry about anything else. As long as you follow my instructions, I will let you and Jasper live in the Richard family."

"Yes, I will do as you say.”

Everything was as Xaria had expected. Vivian loosened her grip on the hem of her shirt. Xaria thought she was still the same person she was three years ago, someone who would not rebel at anything. She didn’t understand that people could change.

Joye had been resting at home for three days. Linda was in charge of everything in the company. Joye ate a lot and slept until she woke up naturally. Looking at her ruddy face in the mirror, she became more determined.

As long as she signed the divorce papers with Shawn, their relationship would be over.

She would arrange for Leonard Group to go somewhere else to raise her baby.

"Do you want me to go with you to the Richard family?"

Janina approached her worriedly. "Ever since I woke up in the morning, my eyelids have been twitching. I feel uneasy."

"Your eyelids are twitching because you've been staying up late and played too many games."

Smiling and putting down her lipstick, Joye touched her flat lower abdomen with a touch of guilt in her eyes.

“Baby, I'm sorry. I promise that this will be the last time I apply makeup while I’m pregnant. But today, I must leave him, so will you please forgive me?”

"Joye, if anything happens, you must call me immediately. If anyone in the Richard family dares to bully you, I’ll protect you.”

Janina's words amused Joye. Joye tidied up her clothes and walked out with a smile.

She had been married to Shawn for more than three years and she had liked him since he was young. It was time to end this.
