Spending A Fortune For My Wife's Substitute
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Matthew sat across Shannon, and from her expression, he knew that her sad memories must have been triggered.
Why did she bring up her baby’s father again? Was it because of this man that she was so upset?
“Shannon, have you been cheated on?” Matthew asked cautiously.
Shannon looked up and met Matthew’s eyes. Max’s face appeared in her mind again.
Did he lie to her? Not really.
“Not really. Maybe it had always been my own wishful thinking. I was too full of myself. But that’s alright. It’s all in the past. I just want to sell the house now and start a new life.” Shannon gripped her cup tightly, as though she had made a major decision.
Matthew was very considerate, and didn’t ask any further. He had a crush on her, so anything that she wanted to do, he would do his best to help her.
“Do you have any other plans?” Matthew knew that Shannon had long wanted to leave.
He got up and plated the breakfast with his back facing Shannon, his eyes filled with reluctance.
He didn’t want her to leave, but she couldn’t accept a new relationship in her current state. Since she was meant to leave, he had to at least know where she was going, and what she was going to do.
“I haven’t thought about it yet, but I want to donate the money I get from the villa. I’ve interacted with people from the Education Department before. I want to use this money to build a primary school for those children who can’t afford an education.” Shannon’s eyes finally lit up when she said this.
Matthew liked her even more after hearing her words. She was always so kind.
“Alright, don’t worry. I know that you’re willing to meet with the realtor, so when it’s time to sign the contracts, I’ll bring you along.” Matthew brought the breakfast to Shannon with a warm and bright smile on his face.
Shannon looked at him gratefully. She was really lucky to have someone like him who could help her so much.
In the next few days, Matthew didn’t appear because he was busy helping Shannon with the sale of the villa.
Finally, someone offered a suitable price and seemed very keen on the villa.
When Matthew told Shannon about it, she was very satisfied.
Shannon, who hadn’t left the house for more than a month, finally went out on a sunny afternoon. She got into Matthew’s car, and they headed towards the estate where the villa was located.
She hadn’t returned to this place in months, and now that she was back, everything seemed so familiar. The surrounding greenery and fountains were still the same, but Shannon’s heart was covered in scars.
“The villa is the most luxurious one in this area. We’ve discussed this before, and he’s willing to offer the price of 28 million dollars.” Matthew explained the situation to Shannon.
Shannon didn’t care how much this villa could be sold for. However, as the car neared the place, her heartache increased.
It was as though a knife had pierced her heart. The closer she got to that villa, the deeper the wound was.
By the time the car stopped, she felt as though she was suffocating. Her legs were shaking, and she couldn’t move at all.
Matthew didn’t notice that she had lost her composure, as he continued talking about the buyer.
“Shannon, what’s wrong?” It was only when Matthew got out of his car that he realized that Shannon didn’t follow him.
She slowly took a step forward, as the memories flooded her when the exquisitely-carved gates opened up.
Every blissful moment that she spent there lingered in her mind. With trembling hands, she pushed the door open and walked in.
The flowers that she planted in the garden had all withered, and the swing had also rusted. All of these things seemed to be a sign that everything was over, and it was time to end it!
Shannon braced herself as she walked in. The interior was still the same as before, but there wasn’t anyone inside, and everywhere was covered with a layer of dust.
The spacious house had become a cold place, and everywhere she turned, the frostiness would seep into her body.
“Let’s sign the contract.” The realtor handed her a contract after elaborating on relevant details.
“Alright, Miss Zanders, you may leave now.” Five minutes later, Shannon finally heard what she wanted to hear, and left the house as though she was escaping the place.
When she reached the entrance, she stopped again and turned back.
“I’m sorry, I need to retrieve something.” Shannon ran upstairs, and opened the bedroom door.
A smile suddenly surfaced on her beautiful face. The item that she sought was still here.
She quickly picked up the exquisite snow globe that was placed on the bedside table. This snow globe was the only thing she had asked him for in their three years of marriage.
Shannon still remembered what happened that day. She had suddenly encountered heavy snow when she was out on an errand, and Max had told her he would pick her up.
She had been standing along the corridor of a row of boutiques when she spotted the snow globe.
Two tiny figurines were in an embrace as they danced within the snow globe, snowflakes filling up the ball. When Max arrived, he asked her to get in the car.
However, for the first time, she dragged him out of the car and into the shop, then made him purchase what she felt was an incomparably romantic item.
At that time, he even said, “If you want, I can buy this entire shop.”
His voice sounded right beside her ear, but now that she thought about it, it was truly an ironic moment.
Matthew watched as Shannon hugged the snow globe with tears streaming down her face, and stopped walking towards her. He knew that she must have experienced a heart-wrenching relationship.
What kind of man was so pig-headed to abandon a girl like Shannon? Moreover, he did so at such a critical moment in her pregnancy.
This didn’t seem like something any human would do!
“Shannon, are you alright?” Matthew approached Shannon gently.
Shannon pulled herself out of her memories, and carried the snow globe downstairs.
Without turning back, she walked all the way to the car and got in.
Her eyes were on the snow globe as she fell into a daze. This persisted until she returned to Matthew’s house.
“Matthew, you should go back. I’m fine. I just need some time,” Shannon asked Matthew to leave.
After he left, Shannon got up and tidied up the house. She packed all the things that she had used, and returned the house to its original state.
Then, she went out to withdraw money and placed 50,000 dollars in an exquisite envelope before returning to Matthew’s house.
“Betty, I’m done packing. Come pick me up.” After busying herself with all these things, she finally left Matthew’s place.
Initially, Shannon wanted to say goodbye to him, but when she thought about having to bid him farewell, and all that she wanted to say to him, she started wanting to avoid that moment. Hence, she called a former colleague for help.
After a while, Shannon and her ex-colleague Betty met in a cafe, and Shannon handed a cheque of 28 million dollars to Betty.

Betty was very happy that Shannon reached this decision. With this money, many children would be able to receive a good education.
Shannon hadn’t met her friend for a long time, and the two of them chatted happily.
In the Wenley Corporation.
Max had just received the news, and his expression was thunderous. She had actually sold that villa!
“President, you aren’t staying in the villa anyways. Since your Missus left the marriage without a single cent, she’ll surely need some money!” Jake was oblivious to his expression..

She quickly signed her name on the document without even looking at it. She didn’t want to stay in this house for a second longer.“Alright, Miss Zanders, you may leave now.” Five minutes later, Shannon finally heard what she wanted to hear, and left the house as though she was escaping the place.
