Fated to Love You Again novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280 He Keeps Calling Her Honey

After looking up at the sky for a long time, Shawn said slowly, "My mother is a pathetic woman."

"She wasn't my dad's first wife. She had a marriage before she married my dad, but it didn't end well. Then she married my dad after a blind date."

"For as long as I can remember, I've felt that their relationship was complicated. When it comes to love, it's like they hate each other, but when it comes to hatred, they seem to love each other."

"So, their relationship can be explained in a few words. You'll know later."

"Let's not talk about them. Let's go back to the old mansion. My parents won't be back for a while. We're going back to receive our guests."

Norah nodded and said, "Alright."

When they got to the old mansion, there were already a lot of people inside. Almost all of their friends, family, and relatives were there.

Given the power and influence of the Lawson family, they could have held the banquet in a grand hotel. However, Susan insisted on holding the banquet in the old mansion. She hired a team of top-notch chefs to prepare food for the banquet because she felt that this was the only way to make Shawn's grandfather feel at home.

Even though the hotel was luxurious and spacious, Susan found it was too cold and indifferent.

After getting out of the car, Shawn still held Norah's hand.

Norah tugged on his shirt and said, "Do you want me to greet the guests with you?"

In all those years, she had never been present as Shawn's wife to greet the Lawson family's business friends and relatives.

And Norah and Shawn had kept their marriage a secret, so few people knew they were married.

If Norah had greeted guests with Shawn, it would have exposed her identity.

"Sorry."

Shawn quickly released her hand.

"It's okay. Why don't you go in first? I'll go in a few minutes."

"Hmm."

Susan and Marty came back before the banquet began. It seemed the two of them had eased up a lot.

Because there were so many people, Norah found a random seat to sit and eat some food.

At 1 p.m., many of the banquet guests left one after another. The old mansion looked a bit emptier.

Norah got up a little early in the morning. And she caught a cold while kneeling and kowtowing in the cemetery. She had a headache, so she went to her room to rest first.

In a haze, she felt like she had just slept for seven or eight minutes.

When Norah was about to fall asleep, all of a sudden, she felt a heavy weight on her body.

She was startled. As she was about to scream out, she got up to find Shawn who was collapsing on the covers over her.

Shawn smelled of alcohol all over his body. He was lying on the bed limply.

"Shawn..."

Norah yelled as she reached out to push Shawn.

But Shawn didn't respond.

"Shawn... Wake up!" Norah shouted a few times.

Shawn was still sleeping on top of her. He showed no signs of waking up at all. And he was completely drunk.

Norah reckoned that Shawn was drunk from greeting guests.

Norah had no choice but to get out of bed and help him to his bed. Then she took off his shoes and coat. She scrubbed his face and neck and laid him back on the bed to rest.

After that, Norah took a breath and was about to turn around to put the towel away.

Before Norah could leave, Shawn grabbed her wrist.

Immediately after, Shawn said in a drunken and bossy tone, "Don't go. Sleep with me."

"You're drunk. I'm going to put the towel away. Go to sleep."

But he didn't listen to Norah at all. He still had a tight grip on her wrist.

"No. I want you to sleep with me."

Seeing Shawn being so bossy, unreasonable, and drunk, Norah knew there was no use in reasoning with him, so all she could do was coax Shawn in a whisper.

"Go to sleep. I'll come back later to keep you company, okay?"
