Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 611:

“That does seem a bit much,” Turner muttered.

From the other room, Katherine’s voice cut in.

“Shawn! After all these years, you still don’t know my favorite flavor?” Her voice cracked, and tears followed, born from a mix of frustration and vulnerability.

Shawn hurried to Katherine’s side, realizing this wasn’t the time to argue with her parents.

“I’m so sorry, love. I should have remembered. Here, let me show you something.”

He tried to hand her his phone, but she turned away, stubbornly refusing.noveldrama

“I don’t want to see it!”

“Just look, please,” Shawn pleaded, taking her hand gently.

Reluctantly, Katherine wiped her tears and glanced at the screen. It was a confirmation for a Hermes bag Shawn had ordered, which was already en route.

“Now, are you a little happier?” he asked, hopeful.

Katherine sniffed, her mood hardly improving.

“You think one bag can fix everything?”

“Who said there’s only one?” Shawn scrolled through his phone with a hint of a smile.

“There are ten in total. Happy now?”

Outside the room, Agate’s eyes widened as she overheard the conversation, her fingers twitching as she mentally calculated the cost. Ten Hermes bags could easily equate to the price of a house.

She turned to look at Turner.

Feeling the weight of the moment, Turner said, “I’ll buy bags for you too.”

Three days before the wedding, Katherine’s bridesmaids accompanied her to a fitting for her wedding gown.

Joelle had meticulously planned everything, but she hadn’t anticipated Katherine gaining an extra ten pounds.

“It seems Shawn has been feeding you well,” Joelle remarked with a smile.

Katherine, her cheeks flushed with delight from the recent extravagance, couldn’t help but share her joy with her friends. “Shawn got me ten Hermes bags!”

Lily couldn’t hide her jealousy. “If I had known Shawn was this generous, I would have fought harder for him!”

Meanwhile, Ferris, upon hearing about Shawn’s lavish gifts, decided not to be outdone. He purchased a hundred Lolita dresses for Lily, each a high-end custom design, showcasing his wealth and affection.

After a long day filled with lavish displays and comparisons, Joelle returned home, her heart suddenly heavy with a sense of emptiness.

Joelle and Adrian had gone through countless challenges in their relationship. They never celebrated their anniversary, nor Valentine’s Day. In recent years, she had skipped birthday celebrations because she didn’t like marking another year of getting older.

Despite her wealth, she yearned for the things money couldn’t buy. Still, she realized there was no need to compare her life to others. The diamond ring on her finger more than made up for what she felt was lacking. The thought cheered her up. With a smile, she opened the door to her house.
