55 vouchers Monday finally came . Shawn , who usually needed Evelyn to drag him out of bed , was up and dressed at six . He was more active than a senior cramming for the SAT . He'd already planned it all out . When Abigail handed over the game console , he'd take it with a bored face and maybe even throw in an eye - roll to show everyone he didn't care . Then , in the coldest , most arrogant voice he could manage , he'd make it clear that even if she gave him a game console , there was no way she was getting back into the Yeats family . He'd say it loud enough for the whole school to hear that he only had one sister , Charlotte . The more people watched the scene , the better . He thought the perfect place for this was right at the school gate . Everything was ready . All he needed was for Abigail to show up . But from 6:30 until the bell rang at 8:00 , he waited , and she never came . With every minute , his mood got worse . ' Come on , Abigail . Keep this up , and I'm not taking anything from you . Not even your stupid present , ' he thought , fuming . Still , he refused to leave . By 8:30 , the gate was completely empty . But Shawn was still there , standing alone , like he was in a silent standoff with his own pride . By 9:00 , Charlotte had just returned from getting an X - ray at the hospital . As soon as she saw Shawn still standing there , a wave of warmth hit her . She smiled gently and said , " My hand's fine , really . You don't need to worry about me . " But Shawn barely reacted . He just muttered a flat , " Oh , " without taking his eyes off the road , still staring in the direction Abigail always came from . That was when Charlotte realized he wasn't waiting for her . She paused and then asked , " Shawn ... are you waiting for someone else ? " The moment she said it , Shawn's anger flared up . His jaw tightened , and he looked like he was about to explode . " Does Abigail even know today's Monday ? " he snapped . Charlotte's gentle smile instantly froze on her face . " She cheats on exams , and now she's skipping school , too ? Does she even care about college anymore ? " Shawn scoffed . Charlotte was quiet for a moment , a little stunned . Then she said , " I heard Lucas is in the hospital . Abigail has been taking care of him . " 11:27 Wed , Sep 17 Chapter 46 ... 34 55 vouchers " Lucas ? Who even is that ? " Shawn asked , clearly annoyed . " He's the Monroe family's youngest kid . Abigail's new brother , " Charlotte explained . Shawn finally exploded and thought , 'Abigail , you traitor ! You'd rather sit in a hospital spoiling some random kid than come here and give me my present ? Seriously ? ' Irritated , Shawn spun around and stormed off . His leg , still sore from that run - in with Kelly , started to throb again . He winced , limping all the way back . Charlotte stayed by the gate , shivering slightly as the wind picked up . ***** Meanwhile , back at the hospital , Abigail sneezed hard and rubbed her itchy nose . Vivian and James had never expected their kids to succeed through studying anyway . So when Abigail and Ethan said they wanted to stay and look after Lucas , their parents agreed without a second thought . Family time mattered more than anything else . Lucas had just finished his meal , taken his meds , and played a round of his princess game . His face still glowed with innocent happiness. " I think I'm gonna nap now ." Ethan , whose eyes were glued to the screen of his phone , got up and walked a few steps away , still focused on his game . But when he glanced back , he saw Lucas staring at him coldly . He froze . Then he slowly turned to see Abigail still sitting there . Lucas's gaze shifted from Ethan to Abigail , his expression softening instantly into a gentle smile . Ethan felt like everything was slipping away . First , his mom , and now even his brother , were choosing Abigail . Still , with Lucas sick , now wasn't the time to argue with Abigail . He gave a small snort , flopped onto the couch , and went back to his phone . Abigail picked up the game console and put it on a high cabinet , safely out of Lucas's reach . Then she lowered his hospital bed and tucked him in carefully . Lucas watched her , smiling quietly. Just having her there made him feel content . " Abigail , hand , " Lucas said , reaching out . Abigail understood and took his hand , giving it a gentle squeeze , " Ethan, grab a chair , " Lucas ordered , much less sweetly this time . 11:27 Wed , Sep 17 Chapter 47 : Chapter 47 Title: After Divorce, My Ex-Wife Became a Billionaire In "After Divorce, My Ex-Wife Became a Billionaire" by CrushReel, the story revolves around Claire, who conceals her immense wealth to marry Milo for love.
