Shawn’s gaze was deep and unreadable–I couldn’t quite figure him out at that moment.
If he had said those words to me in our previous life, I would’ve burst into tears, thrown myself into his arms, and agreed without hesitation.
But in this life? No thanks.
If he were truly dependable, I wouldn’t be this disappointed in him.
Still, the act had to go on. And honestly, it seemed like the advice Mnie gave me was starting to work.
Lately, Shawn’s attitude toward me had noticeably shifted–first the gold, then the money, and now he was even offering to buy me a property in Craneport.
His actions were puzzling, sure, but the asset was real, tangible assets I could actually control.
“Hubby, it’s just… I feel so unsure, so lost.” My eyes welled up as I slowly walked toward him, looking at him like a sheep without a shepherd–confused and afraid. “Sometimes I feel like I have everything but also nothing at all. Yuna will grow up eventually and you … Even when we got married, I knew I wasn’t your equal. Now your career’s taken off, and I’m still standing in the same ce. Hubby, I’m really scared.”
“What are you afraid of? Don’t you have me?” Shawn actually believed me. His gaze had never been so gentle. He wrapped an arm around me, patting my back softly as he pulled me into his embrace. “Maybe I got distracted for a while, but I’ll always find my way back home. Tiffany, if you want a career, I’ll help you.”
“Really?” I looked at him like I wholeheartedly trusted him. “But you once said–it’s impossible to bnce both family and career. If I choose my career, I might not be able to take care of the family.”
“I’ll give you three years to focus on your career,” Shawn said, gently brushing his fingers through my hair. “We can talk about having another child after that. Yuna’s still too young to understand. Having a baby now might upset her. But in three years, she’ll be ten–she should be old enough to ept a little brother or sister.”
Shawn still put his daughter first–just as I expected.
“Okay, I agree. Can we go check out that property now?” I stepped back from his arms, blinking up at him. “Just to take a quick look at the exterior.”

Shawn was surprised. He nced out the window, then at me… therge bed behind us.
and finally, his eyesnded on
“Honey, please?” I quickly switched to my soft and sweet tone, tugging at his sleeve.
Seeing how much I wanted to go, Shawn reluctantly agreed. “Alright, give me a moment to change.”
We arrived at the road next to the property development, and it was indeed a high–end project. The building was already structurallyplete, and construction workers were even workingte into the night. The adjacent sales office was also very luxurious and grand, but since it was past midnight, it was closed.
“Hubby, I want a unit on a higher level with a nice view.” I had already pointed up, counted each floor, and finally said I wanted the 28th floor.
Seeing how excited I was, Shawn agreed without hesitation. “Okay, after the wedding tomorrow, we’ll go take a look.”
“Thanks, Hubby,” I said sweetly.
Shawn had clearly noticed the change in me, that I was now more focused on what I could get. He disliked it but stayed silent.
He probably saw it as a sign that I was feeling insecure.
As I was smiling brightly, Shawn suddenly asked, “Tiffany, I need you to tell me something honest–do I still have a ce in your heart?”
I shifted my gaze from the tall building to the man standing under the streemp beside me.
What a joke. <i>Honest </i><i>had </i><i>another </i><i>name</i><i>–</i><i>leverage</i><i>. </i><i>Who </i><i>would </i><i>say </i><i>that</i><i>? </i>
Shawn kept his intense gaze locked on me and continued, “I want you to look at me the way you used to, with your eyes only for me. Can you do that?”
I opened my mouth, but I realized that sometimes it was difficult to say things that go against my conscience.
Seeing that I was silent for a long time, Shawn suddenly reached out, hisrge hand gently holding the back of my head, drawing me closer. He briefly kissed my lips before releasing me. “From the moment I saw you, I knew it wasn’t just a passing impulse. My body was drawn to you, too. You don’t have topare yourself to anyone. Just by being there, you outshine everyone.”

In my past life, he had the same kind of physical attraction to Queena. She just had to be there, and she’d easily outshine me.
Men did know how to tter when they wanted something.
Shawn’s intense gaze made me feel disconnected.
I wanted money, not him. But the money was in his hands, so if I wanted it, I had to go through him.
Maybe I needed to change my mindset. <i>Men </i><i>are </i><i>meant </i><i>to </i><i>be </i><i>enjoyed </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><i>present</i><i>. </i><i>Why </i><i>care </i><i>about </i>who <i>they’ll </i><i>belong </i><i>to </i><i>tomorrow</i>?
