Fated to Love You Again (Shawn and Norah)
Chapter 169 Love and Cherish Your Wife

Chapter 169 Love and Cherish Your Wife

The two of them didn't even bother to replace a coffee shop and just stood by the car.

Shawn lit a cigarette, leaning lazily against the car. In the hazy smoke, he spoke first, "You speak first!"

Those three simple words were enough to display his imposing aura.

If it were anyone else, they would have been intimidated by his presence. But for Matthew, it was nothing to be afraid of.

"Norah and I are just friends," said Matthew.

Upon hearing this, Shawn suddenly laughed.

His laughter was cold and hostile.

"As a man, do you really think I'll believe you?"

Matthew wasn't angry as if he had expected this answer. He continued, "You can suspect me, as we have no relationship. But you shouldn't doubt Norah because she's your wife. As her husband, you should love and protect her."

Matthew paused for a moment, and his gentle gaze suddenly became sharp. "You shouldn't doubt and hurt her."

"Shawn, only an incapable man would bully his wife."

Wife?

Shawn was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. If he guessed correctly, Norah didn't tell Matthew that they had already gotten a divorce.

At that moment, he suddenly felt relieved.

If he could, he wished that Matthew would never replace out about their divorce.

"If that's what you really think, stay away from her. I don't want a man like you casting a greedy eye on my wife all the time. Matthew, don't think that I can't see through your intentions." "I'll keep my distance from Norah, but..."

Matthew looked at Shawn, his tone suddenly firm. "I'm doing it for Norah's sake, not because of your threats or warnings. And I'm not afraid of you."

"Shawn, If you love Norah, be a man and love and protect her. If you don't love her, let her go, and don't ruin her life."

Shawn sneered. "Don't worry. I won't give you that chance."

"You better not."

Their conversation ended on a tense note.

They parted in discord.

It seemed like this was the result they had expected.

Since Shawn left in a fit of anger a few days ago, he and Norah had never communicated.

On Friday, the hospital's new employee training ended. As tradition dictated, there was a dinner party for the new employees.

The dinner party was held in a luxurious private room.

It was said to be a super-expensive and extravagantly decorated private club in the city. Only powerful and rich people could enter.

So, everyone was surprised when they entered.

A few new employees asked, "Mrs. Lee, is the company paying for this dinner? Will we have to pay for it ourselves? I heard that the average cost per person is a few thousand dollars. I haven't even started working yet, and I don't have enough money to afford it."

An employee next to him laughed and said, "Even if I had worked for a few years, I couldn't afford to eat here, either. A meal would cost a month's salary."

Hearing their questions, Mrs. Lee smiled and explained, "Don't worry. Today's dinner is reimbursed by the hospital. To be precise, it's personally reimbursed by Dean Broser."

"Dean Broser?"

Some of the more gossip-prone employees' eyes lit up when they heard this name, and they asked with great interest, "Mrs. Lee, tell us more. Why is Dean Broser treating us to dinner? We haven't even officially met him yet!"

"Well, it's a strange combination of circumstances. One year, Dean Broser accidentally treated a group of new employees to dinner, and later everyone felt it was unfair. So, Dean Broser, who has plenty of money, decided to make it a tradition for the hospital to treat new employees to dinner every year."

"Wow, Dean Broser is amazing."

"Dean Broser is so generous."

Suddenly, many people began to praise James.

At this moment, a new employee asked the question that everyone was most concerned and excited about, "Mrs. Lee, can I ask you if Dean Broser would be coming today?"

As soon as he spoke, all the new employees, especially the female ones, cheered and eagerly waited for the answer.

Mrs. Lee chuckled and said, "You're all obsessed with him."

"But I can't say for sure whether Dean Broser will come or not. He's been to the dinner party a few times, but not every time. If he has free time, he usually stays for a while."

Upon hearing this answer, the female employees prayed in their hearts. 'Please come. You have to come. I'm so excited!'

"Yes, I heard that Dean Broser is very handsome, with a charming and dashing appearance. I've only seen his photo on the hospital's promotional board. I really want to see him in person." Listening to everyone's discussion, Mrs. Lee couldn't help but reveal a bit of insider information.

She cleared her throat and talked about James in a serious and formal tone.

"Well, the rumors are true. Dean Broser has always been a benchmark of our hospital, not only in appearance but also in professional skills."

The female employees were excited to hear this.

Suddenly, someone asked, "Mrs. Lee, does Dean Broser have a girlfriend?"

This question caused another uproar, as everyone eagerly waited for the answer, seeming quite gossipy.

Dora pulled Norah's hand and also appeared excited. "I bet such a handsome man is already taken."

Norah suddenly thought of the conversation she had overheard in the coffee shop that day. If she remembered correctly, Dean Broser's mother was urging him to get a girlfriend.

"I don't think so," Norah said casually.

"That's impossible. Such an outstanding man must be pursued by lots of women. How could he not have a girlfriend? He must have one," Dora said with certainty.

Norah was also confident. "I say he doesn't. Let's bet a month's worth of coffee. Do you accept?"

Hearing that, Dora thought it was a sure thing, so she immediately gave Norah a high five. "Okay, it's a deal."

Then she said, "Norah, don't blame me for being heartless if you lose."

Norah smiled, crossed her arms, and said nothing.

At this time, Mrs. Lee answered with a meaningful smile, "Well, for someone as outstanding as Dean Broser, he absolutely, definitely, must not have a girlfriend! Our female colleagues all say he belongs to all of us."

"Wow, amazing, Dean Broser doesn't have a girlfriend!"

"This is so unexpected!"

Everyone was amazed.

Dora pulled Norah and asked with a gossipy tone, "Norah, how did you know?"

"I guessed," Norah said.

But Dora didn't believe her. "No, I think you're lying to me. Norah, hurry up and tell me. Do you have some insider information? Oh, let me guess. Are you the daughter of a rich family? Like the daughter of our hospital president. Oh my god, what have I done? Would I offend you without realizing it? Norah, please forgive me."

Dora had fair skin and was petite. With her exaggerated performance, Norah couldn't help but burst out laughing. She was so amused and fell about laughing.

In the end, she decided to come clean and told Dora the truth.
