Feeling the sadness from Yvonne, Shane knew the reason after thinking a little.
He clenched the steering wheel and quietly comforted her, "Don’t worry, Yvonne. I'll try my best to cure Theo."
When Yvonne heard this, she was touched although she didn't think that he could succeed. Then, she hummed and thanked him.
After a while, they arrived at the hotel.
Shane sent the mother and son to the suite. "You live here?"
"Yes." Yvonne nodded, trying to put Theo down.
But Theo grabbed her hair tightly and refused to come down.
Yvonne had no choice but to hold him and sat down o n the sofa.
Shane walked over and said, "It's not an option to stay i n a hotel all the time when you have Theo with you. It's not safe. Why don’t I arrange a place for you to stay? I have a penthouse in the city center..." 1
"Ho!" Yvonne refused with a smile. "My brother has arranged a place for us, but they're still cleaning it. So I'm just staying in the hotel for two days. When the place is cleaned up, we'll move there."
Shane nodded. "Well, alright then. Let me know when you move and I'll come and help you."
Yvonne didn't refuse and agreed to it.
After all, he was Theo's godfather and it wouldn't be good to refuse his kindness.
"Theo's yawning," Shane reminded Yvonne when he saw Theo yawned in her arms.
Yvonne lowered her head and he was right. Theo seemed exhausted and the corners of his eyes were wet. It was obvious that he yawned.
"Baby, are you going to sleep?" Yvonne gently looked a t her son in her arms.
Theo didn't respond, but his eyes were closed.
Yvonne laughed and said to Shane, "Please have a seat while I put Theo to bed."
Shane answered, "Okay."
Yvonne stood up with Theo in her arms and walked towards the bedroom.
Shane looked at her back and his eyes were filled with emotion.
Time could really change a person completely.
In the past six years, she had changed so much that h e would think she was another person if he didn't know that it was her.
He watched her change from an ugly duckling to a beautiful white swan, from giving up her dream of fashion design to studying enterprise management, from Yvonne Frey to Shannon Smith, from an ordinary woman who couldn't do anything to a powerful and indifferent woman in the past six years. 1
That's right, indifference!
She was indifferent to other people and things except for her family, Theo, and him.
He didn’t know whether this indifference was good or bad.
When he was thinking about it, Yvonne returned.
She took a glass of water and placed it in front of Shane gently. "What are you thinking about? So fascinating."
Shane returned to his senses. He took up his glass and said with a smile, "It's nothing. Is Theo asleep?"
Yvonne nodded. "Yes."
Shane took a sip of the water. "Sure enough, Theo feels secure when you’re by his side and he fell asleep so soon. He usually doesn’t fall asleep until midnight and wakes up early in the morning."
"Thank you. I couldn't have done it without you," Yvonne said apologetically.
She knew how difficult it was to take care of Theo.
This half a month had really bothered him.
Shane waved his hand. "What are you talking about?
I'm his godfather and this is not difficult. Besides, Theo's very cute. I like him very much."
"Really?" Yvonne smiled happily.
