CHAPTER 498 SHANE’S CONFESSION "NEW RELATIONSHIP?” YVONNE WAS CONFUSED BY HIS QUESTION.

Shane nodded, "Yes, a new relationship!"

Although Yvonne didn't know why he asked, she still answered in a serious manner, "No."

"Why?" Shane was a little anxious.

Yvonne swirled the glass of red wine in her hand, and said in a cold voice, "All I want is revenge now. Why would I even think about a new relationship?"

"I know you want your revenge, so you don't intend to have one now, but what about the future? You'll get your revenge someday, and after that, don’t you want t o think about your future? You're still young and you should find a man to stay by your side. Besides, Theo also needs a father figure in the process of growing up. " Shane clenched the wine glass in his hand and looked at her expectantly.

Yvonne suddenly understood the true meaning behind what he was saying tonight, and her expression changed slightly. "Shane, are you trying to say that you want to be that man?"

Shane panicked when she saw right through his intention. However, he calmed down again and admitted, "Yes, Yvonne, that's exactly what I meant. Will... Will you give me a chance?"

He asked a little nervously, and he sounded cautious.

Yvonne was completely dumbfounded because she never thought that Shane would suddenly confess to her.

This was the second time!

Yes, the second time.

Five years ago, when she had a kidney transplant, something happened and that incident made her realize that he had always had feelings for her.

Then, at Theo's first birthday, he got drunk and confessed to her.

When he woke up the next day, he had forgotten everything. She was still struggling to find a way to reject him, but she was relieved to find that he had forgotten about it and didn't tell him about his confession. That was why he didn't know that he had already confessed to her once.

In the following years, Shane never showed that kind o f affection to her again, and he treated her just like a friend. After all this time, she thought he didn't like her anymore, but she was wrong. His feelings for her had not changed-he just hid it very well.

But she didn't know why he confessed to her again tonight. Was it because he was drinking again?

"Yvonne, you..." Shane felt a little uneasy and even more nervous when he saw that Yvonne had fallen silent.

Yvonne snapped out of her daze and said while biting her lip, "Shane, I'm a little confused. I..."

"I know!" Shane interrupted her, his handsome face a little flushed. "I know that this sudden confession might be a shock to you, but Yvonne, I'm not kidding. I'm serious. Maybe you don’t know this, but I actually started falling for you six years ago."

Yvonne lowered her head.

No, she knew!

Shane looked at her and said, "Six years ago, you were Henry's wife. He was the only man in your eyes, but Henry was my friend, so even if I had that kind of affection for you, I couldn't show it. I don't have the thought of stealing you away from Henry either, but it's different now."

Shane smiled, "Now you have nothing to do with Henry, and you said that you don't love him anymore, s o it's time to fight for myself. Maybe it's shocking to suddenly hear this from me, but Yvonne, I hope you can consider me. I'll treat you well and Theo will be like my own child. So Yvonne, will you give me a chance?"

As Yvonne listened to his heartfelt confession, she was touched. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Although she was touched by his words, she still knew her answer.

Because she knew very well that she only saw him as a friend, and she didn't have that kind of affection for him. 2

She had to disappoint him.

Yvonne clenched her fists as she thought about it. She made up her mind to reject him, but as soon as she was about to speak, Shane said, "Yvonne, I know I'm making it difficult for you by telling you this. You don’t need to tell me your answer right away. I hope you can take some time and think about it."

He could tell that she wanted to reject him.

But he didn't want her rejection, so he could only avoid her rejection selfishly.

Yvonne could tell his intention, but she could only secretly sigh and reluctantly force a smile, "Okay...'

He didn't want to hear her reject him so quickly.

So she did as he wished.

But in the end, she would still reject him.

"Thank you. It's getting late, I should go." When Shane got up, his tall body swayed.

Yvonne stepped forward to support him. "Are you drunk?"

"No!" Shane replied with red eyes.

Yvonne watched as his eyes slowly lost their focus, and she rolled her eyes. "Obviously not. I'll ask someone to send you back."

"No, I can go back by myself." Shane refused.

"Enough, don't force it. How can you drive after drinking?" Yvonne helped him walk to the couch while calling the hotel to arrange for a driver to come.

After ten minutes, the doorbell rang.

Yvonne knew it was the driver that the hotel had arranged, so she bent over to help Shane up from the couch and walked to the door with him.

After she opened the door, there was a man in a hotel security uniform standing outside the door.

Yvonne left Shane with him and said, "Please send him back. This is the address."

Yvonne typed an address on the cell phone and showed it to the driver.

After the driver took it down, he nodded. "Okay, I'll drive this gentleman home safely."

"Thank you," Yvonne said with a smile.

He then held Shane and left.

Yvonne watched them enter the elevator before turning around to go back to her suite.

After she returned to the suite, she saw the dining table full of dirty dishes, but she was not in the mood t o clean up. Her mind was full of Shane's confession and him saying that Theo needed a father in the process of growing up.

That sentence made her anxious for a long time.

Indeed, for a child, a mother is an indispensable role, but the same goes for a father.

The role of the father is even more important for a little boy. He could be a guide for the child’s growth, a role model for the child to learn, and even a mentor in the child's life. Some obstacles in educating a child could not be solved by mothers, but fathers could.

She knew very well that Theo didn’t' like Henry, and didn't react much to Henry being his biological father, so she always thought that Theo didn't need a father, but she never thought about what Theo needed from his perspective. After all, he may or may not like his father, but needing a father or not was a different case. 2

Besides, Theo was still young. Even if he was more mature than other children, he still could not fully understand the importance of a father yet. However, when Theo got older, would he still feel like the presence of a father does not matter?

What if he wanted his father at that time? When he sees the fathers of other children, wouldn't he feel inferior or start having other thoughts in his heart?

As Yvonne thought about this, she felt suffocated. She closed her eyes and walked towards Theo's room.

When she pushed open the door of the room gently, she saw Theo sitting on the carpet playing with puzzles. The Rubik's Cube that he had always been holding was thrown aside.

It seemed like he was tired of it. Yvonne thought about buying new ones, which would be more difficult to solve.

This was because every time Theo stopped playing with his Rubik's Cube, it meant that the Rubik's Cube h e had was no longer challenging for him and he needed a new one. This was what Yvonne observed for the past two years. 1

As she silently reminded herself to purchase a new Rubik's Cube, Yvonne looked at Theo's petite figure and said, "Theo, Mommy's here."
