Chapter 280 He Keeps Calling Her Honey
After looking up at the sky for a long time, Shawn said slowly, "My mother is a pathetic woman."
"She wasn't my dad's first wife. She had a marriage before she married my dad, but it didn't end well.
Then she married my dad after a blind date."
"For as long as I can remember, I've felt that their relationship was complicated. When it comes to love,
it's like they hate each other, but when it comes to hatred, they seem to love each other."
"So, their relationship can be explained in a few words. You'll know later."
"Let's not talk about them. Let's go back to the old mansion. My parents won't be back for a while.
We're going back to receive our guests."
Norah nodded and said, "Alright."
When they got to the old mansion, there were already a lot of people inside. Almost all of their friends,
family, and relatives were there.
Given the power and influence of the Lawson family, they could have held the banquet in a grand hotel.
However, Susan insisted on holding the banquet in the old mansion. She hired a team of top-notch
chefs to prepare food for the banquet because she felt that this was the only way to make Shawn's
grandfather feel at home.
Even though the hotel was luxurious and spacious, Susan found it was too cold and indifferent.
After getting out of the car, Shawn still held Norah's hand.
Norah tugged on his shirt and said, "Do you want me to greet the guests with you?"
In all those years, she had never been present as Shawn's wife to greet the Lawson family's business
friends and relatives.
And Norah and Shawn had kept their marriage a secret, so few people knew they were married.
If Norah had greeted guests with Shawn, it would have exposed her identity.
"Sorry."
Shawn quickly released her hand.
"It's okay. Why don't you go in first? I'll go in a few minutes."
"Hmm."
Susan and Marty came back before the banquet began. It seemed the two of them had eased up a lot.
Because there were so many people, Norah found a random seat to sit and eat some food.
At 1 p.m., many of the banquet guests left one after another. The old mansion looked a bit emptier.
Norah got up a little early in the morning. And she caught a cold while kneeling and kowtowing in the
cemetery. She had a headache, so she went to her room to rest first.
In a haze, she felt like she had just slept for seven or eight minutes.
When Norah was about to fall asleep, all of a sudden, she felt a heavy weight on her body.
She was startled. As she was about to scream out, she got up to find Shawn who was collapsing on the
covers over her.
Shawn smelled of alcohol all over his body. He was lying on the bed limply.
"Shawn..."
Norah yelled as she reached out to push Shawn.
But Shawn didn't respond.
"Shawn... Wake up!" Norah shouted a few times.
Shawn was still sleeping on top of her. He showed no signs of waking up at all. And he was completely
drunk.
Norah reckoned that Shawn was drunk from greeting guests.
Norah had no choice but to get out of bed and help him to his bed. Then she took off his shoes and
coat. She scrubbed his face and neck and laid him back on the bed to rest.
After that, Norah took a breath and was about to turn around to put the towel away.
Before Norah could leave, Shawn grabbed her wrist.
Immediately after, Shawn said in a drunken and bossy tone, "Don't go. Sleep with me."
"You're drunk. I'm going to put the towel away. Go to sleep."
But he didn't listen to Norah at all. He still had a tight grip on her wrist.
"No. I want you to sleep with me."
Seeing Shawn being so bossy, unreasonable, and drunk, Norah knew there was no use in reasoning
with him, so all she could do was coax Shawn in a whisper.
"Go to sleep. I'll come back later to keep you company, okay?"
"No! Right now." Shawn still insisted.
Norah laughed while looking at him in tears and said, "Do you know who I am?"
"You're Norah, my honey." Shawn blurted it out almost without thinking.
Norah couldn't help but think, 'We're long divorced. I'm not your honey.'
"Honey, come up here. Come up and sleep with me, okay?"
"I can't sleep if you're not with me, honey."
Then, Shawn kept insisting on calling Norah Honey.
"Shawn, I told you not to act crazy. I'm not your..."
Before Norah could finish, suddenly, Shawn yanked Norah so hard that she fell on top of him. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
The next moment, before she could react, Shawn rolled onto the bed with Norah in his arms.
And Shawn had her on the far side of the bed.
His hands were like steel around Norah's waist. He had almost imprisoned her entire body.
Now, Shawn was holding Norah tight. If he didn't let go of Norah, Norah wasn't going to get away from
him at all.
However, he didn't act crazy once he got Norah into bed. Instead, he held Norah, rested his head on
her neck, and fell asleep.
Then Norah looked sideways at Shawn, and suddenly, she had the feeling that she was waking up
from a dream.
Had she been tricked?
Was Shawn not drunk at all? Was he just fooling her?
The more Norah thought about it, the more she felt there was something off.
Given his alcohol tolerance, Shawn wouldn't even get drunk that easily. And even though he had to
toast with a lot of people, he seemed to have taken those pills to sober him up long beforehand.
After figuring those things out, Norah was instantly sure about something. "Hey! Shawn, get up. You're
not drunk, are you?"
But, Shawn's eyes were closed. He looked asleep.
"Don't pretend to be asleep. I know you're not drunk." Norah reached out and nudged him.
Shawn held her white fingers in his palm, then turned around and pressed Norah under his body.
Immediately after, Shawn spread the alcohol on his breath to her face. "Honey, be quiet. You be quiet.
I've got a headache. I want to sleep."
Norah went mad. "Stop shouting. I'm not your wife anymore."
"I don't care. You're Norah. Norah is my wife."
Norah was speechless.
Next, Shawn was holding her like an octopus, and Norah couldn't take her hands off him.
In the end, Norah could only resign herself to tucking her and Shawn in.
It was so cold. If Norah didn't tuck the two of them in, both of them would catch a cold together.
Seeing Norah quiet down, close her eyes, and finally stop struggling and resisting, Shawn gently
opened his dark eyes and smiled with triumph and satisfaction.
However, Norah had no idea about it because she had fallen asleep.
When she woke up, she was still a bit dizzy.
Then she looked around her and realized that Shawn wasn't there at all. No one was beside her.
Knocking her head, Norah opened her eyes and looked down.
She was alone in the room.
Yet, she remembered that Shawn had insisted on sleeping with her before she fell asleep.
Could she have misremembered it? Had it all been a trick?
She looked at the time and realized that it was 8 p.m.
Gee! What had taken her so long to sleep?
Without delay, Norah grabbed her mobile phone and headed downstairs, but she never expected to run
into Rosalyn, the one she didn't want to see.
