Chapter 101 1 Finally Rebelled
I said nothing and looked up at him.
Finished
Shawn frowned and said. “At noon, Queena and I were discussing a potential collaboration with her dad. Don’t overthink it
Honestly, the moment he explained, it only made me feel like he had something to hide. I would’ve rather stayed silent and let the whole thing blow over–it’d be easier for both of us.
Maybe my emotional defenses weren’t fully built yet, still too soft. That’s why his explanations could still shake me.
1 fought the urge to lash out, forcing a calm smile. “I know. It’s line. Work comes first.?
“You shouldn’t be the only woman at a table full of men during business dinners anymore, Shawn said, frowning even more deeply when he saw me smile. As I brushed past him, he grabbed my arm. “Women tend to get the short end of the stick at those things.”
I I raised my eyebrows and smiled, “Are you speaking from experience? Who exactly have you seen suffer?”
“I’m not joking: Shawn said, his expression darkening instantly.
“I’m not joking either. It’s just a normal conversation about work. Don’t blow it out of proportion. I see Ms. Tackman surrounded by men all the time discussing business, and you never seem to say anything about that.” I matched his tone, my
mile fading as Fargued back.
“She’s her. You’re you. It’s different. Her parents raised her in the business world. She can handle things you can’t. Don’t try to be like her. There’s no need to compare,” Shawn said, stunned for a moment, then switched to a Tm doing this for your own good tone.
“Well, everything has a first time. She had her parents as role models from the start. I didn’t. So, kids without umbrellas have do learn to run. I’ve got to work even harder to learn. Hubby, how about you teach me then? I really want to improve,” I said sweetly, pretending to be coy,
Shawn looked at me like I was completely unreasonable. “You’re prettier than Queena. Isn’t that enough?”
The air froze. My smile stiffened, and Shawn realized he’d just let something slip. Frustrated, he ran both hands through his Jair, then tried to explain as best he could. “You don’t need to compare yourself to her. I admit, you both have your strengths.
dany, you don’t have to change anything for me. I just want you to live a happy, carefree life… Let me worry about the money, okay? If you want anything, just tell inc
Tin not happy I bit my lip and spoke in a low voice. “I
impress you—but for myself. I want to have the abit to be able to start something of my own. Not to compete, not to
to survive. As for you saying I’m pretty, that’s temporary. Beauty fades,
and so does love. You men know that even better than we do.”
Shawn’s sharp eyes widened in disbelief.
I took a deep breath, looked at him calmly, and said, “There’s a book that says the best way to predict the future is to create it yourself. I grew up under my parents‘ protection, and you’ve given me a comfortable, carefree life. After marrying you, everyone said this vase finally found the right owner. But I understand that vases are fragile too. Shawn, I don’t want to be a plastic flower in a vase. I want to be wild grass in the open. I don’t need to be admired. I want to break through the soil with strength
After saying that, I didn’t want to see Shawn’s expression and turned to go downstairs
He must think I’d gone crazy–because the vase he brought home wants to turn into a weed.
He was probably very disappointed. In the seventh year of marriage, I finally rebelled.
While working out, I still felt a bit uneasy inside.

Chapter 101 I Finally Rebelled
At dinner, Shawn ate first with Yuna. I took a shower and came downstairs. Mona looked at me with some concern.
Finished
She probably heard the argument upstairs and was worried we had a light. Mona was kindhearted–she was probably more afraid I’d be upset.
I smiled at her. Seeing I hadn’t cried, she finally felt relieved and went back to her work..
Yuna came downstairs after her bath and said to me, “Mommy, I don’t want this long braid anymore. Take me to cut it off
tomorrow”
I asked her, “Why do you want to cut it?”
“I want to be a boy.” Yuna’s big, mischievous eyes sparkled,
“Okay!” 1 agreed without asking why.
But Yuna wasn’t happy. She pointed and said, “Mommy, why didn’t you ask me why I want to cut it?”
As long as you’re happy. I said calmly.
“I heard from my classmates that girls can’t do business. So no grand idea. At such a young age, she already wanted to be the heir.
I want to be a boy.” Yuna tilted her little head, as if she had a
