Chapter 54 You Don’t Love Me Anymore?
Finished
Although he seemed to have released his desire, something still weighed heavily on his heart. Unable to find satisfaction, he kissed me forcefully, as if trying to silence whatever lingering dissatisfaction
remained.
I didn’t fight it. I allowed him to, until he finally release me, his eyes bloodshot with emotion.
“What’s bothering you? Tell me now.” Shawn seized my arm, his voice sharp with anger.
At that moment, we were both completely naked, and didn’t seem like the right time for a calm discussion.
I quickly pulled the blanket around myself, and Shawnput on his robe, fastening it and fixing me with a stern gaze, “What’s bothering you? Why do you look so hollow? Are you truly upset?”
I couldn’t help but notice his sudden outburst, likely because I hadn’t been giving him the attention he expected lately. I hadn’t clung around him as I used to. lis pride and his sense of authority as the head of the family, had been challenged.
“Hubby, what are you talking about? I don’t get it,” I replied vaguely, avoiding a direct answer.
Shawn didn’t like my evasive response. His teeth clenched as he sneered. “You really think I’ve been seeing someone else, and that it’s Queena, don’t you? I took her on this trip for business, and now you’re jealous? Should I fire her to make you happy?”
I was taken aback. Did he really consider firing Queena for me?
But hadn’t he once praised her as his most trusted assistant, a reliable ally in his work?
Would he actually go through with it?
However, Queena wasn’t my current target. In fact, I needed her assistance to get a divorce.
I said, “Hubby, I’m not jealous of Ms. Tackman, I swear Ms. Tackman is too valuable to the company. If you let her go, wouldn’t it hurt the business?”
“Then why do you look like that?” Shawn still seethed with anger.
I blinked my eyes innocently, “What’s wrong with me?
“You… the way you’re acting, it’s like you don’t love me anymore.” Shawn was so furious he could barely get his words out.
After a moment of confusion, I let out a soft chuckle. “Hubby, we’ve been married for so long, there’s no more love to speak of. I’ve always seen you as family. Besides, didn’t you say before that after all these years, the passion is gone? I just want to live a peaceful life.”
Iturned his own words against him, and his face flushed with a mix of red and purple.
Shawn, fuming, stormed out of my room.
I settled back on the bed, feeling much better. My mood had already lifted, and now it was even better.

The next morning, I went to dress Yuna. She was sleepy and tired, keeping her eyes shut while I dressed
her.
Once I finished, she held out her hands. “Mommy, carry me downstairs.”
I gently carried her down the stairs and helped her into a chair, setting a plate of breakfast in front of her. “Eat up.
“What about Daddy?” Yuna glanced toward the stairs. “He used to wake up early and go for a run, but why hasn’t he come down today?”
“Don’t worry about him, just eat your breakfast. Once you’re done, I’ll take you to school,” I replied softly.
Yuna quickly jumped off the chair and dashed upstairs
Watching her run, I felt conflicted. The last time I was unwell, Yuna didn’t seem to care much, but now, just because Shawn was late for breakfast, she was so worried.
A moment later. Yuna returned and sat down to finish her meal. “Daddy said he didn’t sleep well last night and wants to sleep a little longer.”
“All right, let him rest,” I replied, understanding.
However, Yuna furrowed her brow and said, “Daddy must be exhausted from his trip, that’s why he couldn’t sleep. Mommy, I’ve been thinking, you should go back to work and earn money. It must be too hard for Daddy to support the whole family alone.”
I was taken aback by her suggestion. She didn’t seem to respect my decision, but instead, felt sorry for her father having to carry the weight of everything.
“And Mommy, you should spend less on clothes and bags from now on. Your closet is overflowing with things. You need to start saving.” Yuna added, speaking like an adult.
I couldn’t help but think, how did it end up like this? Soon enough, Shawn might buy an expensive mansion for Queena. As his legal wife, surely spending his money wouldn’t be a problem, right?
I didn’t respond to her, merely urging her to finish her meal quickly.
Once I dropped Yuna off at school, I headed straight to Apex Hotel. Both hotels were currently closed for renovations. Shawn was concerned that I might be at a disadvantage, so he had someone assist me.
By midday. I was back at the company. My office was still located next to Shawn’s office.
