“What's wrong? Are you afraid she'll look for you?” asked Shawn when he saw her expression.
Panic crossed Frieda's face. “No way. I'm just worried.”
Shawn chuckled lightly. “About?”
Frieda looked around guiltily. “The police are keeping a close eye on every road to the Farwell residence. She'll definitely get caught if she comes back. I think... it's best if she doesn't come back.”
Shawn snorted coldly. “No can do. I sent her abroad just for the day of her return.”
Aubree's grudge against Roxanne was deep. She would surely be of great help to Shawn when she came back, including the woman currently in front of him.
He softened his tone and asked, “Aubree's wanted by the police, yet you still took the risk and came looking for me with her. Your relationship with her is amazing. I can't help but wonder if she has some dirt on you.”
His words hit the bull's eye. Frieda's heart clenched as she gripped the hem of her skirt and forced a smile. “Don't make wild guesses without any proof. Aubree and I have always been close.”
Shawn merely stared at her, examining her expression.
Moments later, he let out a mysterious smile as if he had confirmed something. “It was too abrupt of me. I just think your relationship with her is too good to be true.”
With that, he stood up nonchalantly, walked to the wine cabinet, and returned with a bottle of wine and two glasses.
His actions filled Frieda with puzzlement and wariness.
After pouring two glasses of wine, Shawn pushed one of the glasses toward Frieda.
“I'm not used to having coffee with pretty girls. Let's have some wine instead.”
