Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 621:

“Katherine Nash, do you want to spend the rest of your life with me as your lawful husband?”

Without hesitation, Katherine replied, “I do!” She slipped on the ring and threw herself into Shawn’s arms before the officiant could finish the final words.noveldrama

“Careful, dear! You’re pregnant!”

Applause erupted, mixed with laughter and happy sobs from everyone present.

Finally, it was time for the bouquet toss. The single ladies scrambled for it, but it fell towards Fannie, who wasn’t even attempting to catch it.

Their friends’ gaze then darted to Bobby.

“Why are you looking at me?” he grumbled. “I’m not the one marrying her!”

As the wedding concluded, dusk began to approach. Guests started to leave, and Joelle and Adrian stood outside, politely seeing everyone off. Feeling a bit tired from the ceremony, Katherine stayed inside to rest.

“Go be with Kathy. We’re fine here,” Joelle told Shawn.

He nodded. “I’ll leave this to you then.”

Since Katherine was pregnant, she got easily exhausted and irritable.

“The baby will definitely have your temper,” Shawn joked as he joined her inside.

Katherine sighed, having the same thought. “I just want to go home.”

“Okay. I’ll go and tell our parents.”

Just as Shawn stood up, a gunshot rang out from outside.

“Shawn!” Katherine screamed, shocked.

“It’s okay, Kathy. I’m here.” Shawn pulled her into his arms and covered her ears to keep her calm.

Ferris rushed in with the news.

“There’s a commotion outside, Shawn. We need to take everyone out through the back door!”

“What happened?”

“I’m not sure,” Ferris replied, his expression grim. “A man showed up with a little boy and shot at Adrian.”

“What?” Shawn immediately thought of Wade as the assailant, though he was confused by the timing.

“We need to call the police!” Katherine winced as pain surged in her belly, probably due to the anxiety and adrenaline of the situation.

Pulling Katherine closer, Shawn asked Ferris, “Is Adrian hurt?”

“Thankfully, no. His bodyguards arrived just in time. Joelle asked me to tell you to leave through the back door.”

Shawn understood Joelle’s intention. Previously, at the Finch family home, Wade had openly taken Ryland. Who knew if he would take someone else hostage this time? Those who hadn’t left yet were their closest friends and family. Joelle and Adrian didn’t want to endanger them.

“Okay. Let’s go, Kathy.”

“No!” Katherine refused to go despite the pain in her belly. “I need to see that Joelle is safe!”

“We’ll just be in their way if we stay. You’re pregnant. We have to keep you and the baby safe.”
