Chapter 618 The Softest Trap
Shannon’s words were soft and gentle.
But Henry felt something was very wrong.
The faint smile still rested on Shannon’s lips.
Nadine inexplicably felt the atmosphere turn strange.
“Nadine, go
outside.”
Shannon said it again, and Henry said nothing.
Nadine nced between their faces, and after making sure they wouldn’t start fighting, she quietly opened the door and left.
The door had just closed.
“Spit it out. What do you really want? Why tell Nadine to leave?”
Henry pressed at his brow, his tone cold.
Shannon looked at his face, and suddenly, her eyes filled with tears.
Henry watched her every move,pletely confused.
He frowned. “What’s going on?”
The next second, Shannon’s smooth, pale arms wrapped around Henry’s neck, and then her hot tears fell, one heavy drop after another.
Henry froze, but Shannon began apologizing in a soft, trembling voice in his arms. “I was being willful before. I know I was wrong now. You haven’t given me a kind look in so long.”
She pouted, her eyes full of grievance.
Henry’s heart softened despite himself, and he sighed. “I did it all for you and our baby.”
“I know. I won’t act like that again or fight with you anymore.”
She looked impossibly gentle, like a little cat, lightly scratching at his chest as she leaned against him.

Henry felt itchy all over from her touch.

Shannon sensed his stiffness and the subtle change, and in the moment she lowered her head, the cold curve at the corners of her lips vanished.
“Don’t just stand there. The baby’s tired.”
Shannon lifted her head again and looked up at Henry, her eyes sparkling with admiration and concern that made him feel strangely proud.
Henry let Shannon pull him over to the coffee table.
“Have some water.”
As if to show how obedient she was, she poured him another cup herself.
Henry happened to be thirsty and took it at once, draining it in one go.
This cup was cooler and more refreshing than any he’d had before.
The fire in his chest vanished in an instant.
Henry even pressed his lips to the rim, savoring it for a moment.
He looked at Shannon, and her sudden visit didn’t seem so hard to ept anymore.
He cleared his throat, and the tension in his face eased a little.
“Shannon, even though things are going our way right now, you can’t be sure no one’s watching you in secret, so I’ve always told you to be careful with what you do.”
He sighed, his voice gentler than before.
Shannon blinked, then suddenly threw herself into his arms like a bird returning to its nest, her eyes full of grievance. “I felt awful because you left without a wordst time and then kept ignoring me. I was afraid of losing you, so I couldn’t helping to find you.”
Her delicate hands clutched tightly at his shirt.
Henry felt his chest itch where she touched him, and most of his anger
melted away.
He raised a hand and rubbed her head. “Yeah … I messed up too. Since you’re here tonight, I won’t say anything more. We’ll do what Nadine said. When it getster, I’ll have her take you back.”

Shannon nodded obediently in his arms.
Compared to before, Henry now felt refreshed and at ease.
He looked down at Shannon’s carefully dyed light–brown hair, his gaze drifting.
After all, they had so many years together. With her here, his heart finally felt calm.
Thinking this, Henry called Nadine back in, and the family ate dinner together.
When night had fully fallen, Henry personally walked Shannon out to the car Nadine had already parked and was waiting in nearby.
“I’ll talk to you when I get home. For now, be patient. Aren’t Kaleb and Tania still there with you?”
At those two names, Shannon’s expression froze for a split second.
She pressed her lips together as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she only looked up and gave Henry an innocent smile. “Okay, I’ll wait for you.
“Me and the little one.”
As she spoke, Shannon stroked her slightly rounded stomach, her eyes locked onto Henry’s, dark and tempting.
Henry swallowed.
age, she He had to admit, Shannon had been with him for many years now. Even in middle was still beautiful, carrying both a mature charm and a calcted softness that made men weak.
Henry clicked his tongue inwardly, his gaze deepening as he looked at her.
Nadine didn’t notice anything strange about her father. After helping Shannon close the car door, she got into the driver’s seat, lowered the window to say goodbye, and drove off.
