---- Chapter 9 "T didn't come here today to ask for your forgiveness. I just want to say, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that my selfishness hurt you," he said, looking at me with teary eyes. I looked at his haggard face and shook my head. "Mr. Felton, I don't mind anymore." I casually shook my wedding ring, unintentionally smiling. "Mr. Felton, come to think of it, it's all thanks to you that I met my husband. He's very kind to me and loves me deeply." Shawn froze in surprise. He opened his mouth as though wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He simply sighed, then turned and left. After a few steps, he suddenly turned back and said to me, "Anna, I wish you happiness." Ismiled and thanked him. Then, I watched him walk away. Shawn's figure slowly faded into the distance and eventually vanished from sight. ---- The next time I heard anything about Shawn, my daughter I had with Charles was already three years old. Iheard that his company had encountered financial troubles over the years, and he owed a significant amount of money. The shareholders who'd once supported him refused to offer any help too. Shawn had to sell his belongings to pay off the debt, and despite his efforts, he couldn't silence the rumors. Eventually, the once-glorious Felton Group declared bankruptcy. In the end, Shawn's fate was tragic. He was deliberately targeted for revenge by a mentally unstable Olivia, who'd stabbed him several times and caused his immediate death. For that, Olivia was sentenced to death for intentional murder. I stared at the table in front of me and felt momentarily dazed. ---- However, at the next second, Charles pulled me into a tight hug and affectionately nipped my earlobe." Honey, it's time to eat." Our daughter mimicked his tone and teased, "Honey, it's time to eat." I snapped back to reality and smiled. "Alright, let's eat." I shook my head, pushing all the complex matters aside. Now, I was happy, and that was enough.
