Chapter 61: Do You Still Love Shawn

Adrik arrived home a little late the next day and ambled into the mansion with a lackadaisical expression on his face. He indifferently nodded at the greetings of the maids and went up to the second floor, then strolled to their room.

He opened the door in expectation of seeing his little wife, but what he saw was an empty room with only her scent lingering in the air, indicating that it hadn't been long since she left the room.

He left the compartment and headed downstairs to seek the maids. However, he still got no information from them, as they were completely unaware of her whereabouts.

He waved his hand at them to take their leave, and he walked to the sofa in the living room to sit down. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and took a moment before deciding to dial her number. It dialed for a while, but there was no answer. Rather, it kept repeating, switched off. His brow creased as he suddenly felt worried, and he made a call to Alex, who also reported not knowing of her whereabouts.

Adrik's face puckered in displeasure, and he threw his head back. Where the hell was his little wife? Why didn't she say a thing to him, no note, no message, just nothing at all?

He took a deep deep breath and stood up from the couch, then walked back up to their room.

At a seat out cafe, Leia, clad in jean shorts and a white tank top, sat opposite Victor, who was swathed in casual white pants and a white top, at a round table with a wide umbrella over their heads. She inhaled the aroma of the coffee in her hand, and a half-smile emerged on her lips.

Her eyes darted around, and she nodded her head in satisfaction. "This is quite relaxing." She sipped on her coffee and took deep breaths.

"Mhmm." Victor smiled and locked his eyes on her. He gazed at her face for a while and suddenly dropped the cup of coffee in his hand. "Leia, can you tell me why we never got to see each other after that day?" He inquired with curiosity and concern visible in his blue eyes.

Leia's face abruptly faltered when she heard those words, and she lowered her head. That day was a day that she never liked to recall. It was just a casual day like any other day when a family meeting was suddenly declared, but her mother wasn't included. As someone who was never treated as family or ever felt like she was a part of that family, she decided to not attend and just go out to play basketball with Victor and his friends.

But who knew that her father would care quite much to come looking for her with his bodyguards following him as normal? Haha... He, as usual, created a scene, not just a small one, but a big one that left her seated, locked up, in her room for months. 

He had slapped her twice across the face, and when she tried to speak, he hit her mercilessly, causing her to have a nosebleed. Victor, who was very much concerned about her, ran to help her up from the floor, but his men punched Victor with a threat in their eyes, and forcefully dragged her away by the hair towards the car. Disgracing her in front of her friends, they pushed her into the car and drove home. Then, what's next, they locked her up and when her mother protested that they should let her out, her father threatened her with what she still has no idea about today.

She never spoke or made a call to Victor as she couldn't muster up the courage to do so, until a month back, before all the shit happened. Honestly, her miserable life had automatically begun that day and lasted till the very day she left that house.

A low sigh escaped Leia's mouth as she sipped from her cup of coffee. "Actually, things were awful for me from that day on, and as they say, experience makes one stronger." She slightly nodded her head and chuckled softly.

Victor smiled and reached out his hand to pat her on the head, but a hot slap from Leia attacked his hand, and he immediately retracted it only to see his skin all red. "Seriously?!!! When will you stop being so grumpy? You're a woman, for god's sake." He rubbed his hand and turned to face her.

"Maybe when you stop doing the things I despise." Leia rolled her eyes and shrugged.

"You know, I am still wondering what Shawn saw in you to propose a marriage when he returns." Victor shook his head and glared at her.

"Shawn..." Leia's face instantly became dull as she repeated that name, and her eyes became complicated.

"D-don't tell me you forgot about Shawn." Victor's face altered when he saw the faded expression on her face, and he blinked his eyes in disbelief.

"No, it's not that. It's just that... we haven't talked with each other for so many months after I lost his phone number." Leia replied with a complicated expression on her face.

"I see..." Victor nodded his head in understanding and interlocked his hands. "Leia, what do you think is going to happen when he returns? You know how mad he was about you, and he even promised to marry you when he returns."

"That was just a promise. He probably has someone else in his life now, considering we haven't spoken for so long, and besides, what makes you think he will still have feelings for me when he returns? " A soft laugh left Leia's mouth, and she shook her head at Victor.

"I don't know..." Victor shook his head and locked his serious eyes on her. "But may I ask you a question?"

Leis raised her eyes to glance at him and nodded. "Mhmm, go ahead."

Victor's brow raised, and he gazed intently at her. "Do you still love Shawn?"
