Chapter 852

Author: Glazed Snow
"No problem, Mr. Lane," Martin replied.

Madeline said to Shaun, "I'll sit in the front passenger seat. You and Halsey can sit in the back."

She quickly hopped into the front, clearly trying to leave space in the back for the couple.

Halsey could tell exactly what Madeline was doing. At that moment, Shaun opened the back door like a gentleman. "Ladies first."

Halsey slid into the backseat. Shaun got in right after her and shut the door. Soon, the luxury car was gliding smoothly down the road.

Madeline turned her head and asked, "Are you heading home or back to the office?"

Shaun replied, "I'm going to the office. You two going home?"

Madeline looked at Halsey. "Are we heading home now?"

Halsey could feel Shaun's eyes on her face. She quickly said, "Yeah, home."

Just then, the secretary driving made a sharp turn. Caught off guard, Halsey tipped to the side from the momentum.

An arm shot out, strong and steady, wrapping around her slim waist and pulling her into a firm embrace.

    Shaun gently patted Bella's head. "Thanks for the compliment, Bella."Wendy smiled. "Let's all sit down.""Okay!"Wendy and Bella sat on one side of the table, while Halsey and Shaun sat on the other. The waiter began serving the food."How are things going with Stanley?" Halsey asked.Wendy didn't want Halsey to worry. She knew Halsey and Shaun had just reunited, and their relationship was still sweet and tender. "Don't worry. Things with Stanley will be sorted out soon," she replied. Halsey nodded. "That's good to hear."Shaun added, "Ms. Crone, if Mr. Hawk ever needs help with anything, feel free to let me know."Wendy looked at Shaun. The young man who once had nothing had now become a rising star in the business world. He and Halsey—a spoiled heiress raised with care—made a perfect match. A love between equals had always been the ideal kind, no exceptions.She was genuinely happy for them. Her eyes settled on Shaun's face. "Was your face injured by acid?"Shaun glance

    Halsey reached out and grabbed Shaun's arm. "Are you okay?"Shaun shook his head. "I should be the one asking you that. Did Warren say anything out of line? I honestly didn't know he and Chelsea were giving you a hard time. But don't worry. I won't let anyone mess with you again."Halsey felt a warm rush in her chest. Shaun was so caring, so protective. "He didn't say much," she replied. "I just don't want to see you two fall out over me. I know he's someone who's always looked out for you. You guys have been friends for years."Shaun gave a small smile and reassured her. "Don't worry. Warren and I won't fall out over this. I just wanted him to understand that you're mine, and no one gets to cross that line."Halsey was touched. Suddenly, she remembered something. "By the way, Warren said something weird today. I couldn't even follow it. He said I betrayed you and that I slept with Gilbert. When have I ever—"Before she could finish, Shaun gently pressed her shoulder and said

    After lunch, Shaun had to head off to another meeting. He was always busy."You should go," Halsey told him. "I'll stay here and work on my designs."Shaun looked at her and said, "I'd better not come back and find you gone again. You're not planning to sneak off, are you?"Halsey leaned in and gave him a quick kiss. "Relax. I'm staying right here. I'm not going anywhere.""Promise me. I want to see you still here when I get back.""Promise."Only after hearing her say that did Shaun finally leave.Halsey sat down and focused on her work. Not long after, someone walked into the office. She looked up with a smile."Why are you back already—"Her words stopped mid-sentence. It wasn't Shaun. It was Warren."Hey, Warren," Halsey said, surprised.Warren stepped inside. "Hey. Who else were you expecting? Shaun?"Halsey could feel the tension in his tone. He didn't like her, and she knew that. "Shaun's in a meeting. Are you here to see him?""No. I'm here to see you.""Me?"War

    Looking at Halsey's sweet smile and those bright, shining eyes, Shaun felt that he would gladly believe her even if she was lying to him.He leaned in and kissed her.Halsey wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him back with just as much warmth.By the time the kiss ended, her small, heart-shaped face was flushed red. She looked up at him and said, "I need to get back to my studio. I've got a batch of new designs to finish today."Shaun knew she was now a well-known fashion designer. He gently stroked her cheek. "I don't want to drop you off. Just work on them here, in my office."He wanted to stay close to her.It really felt like they were back in the honeymoon phase, and honestly, she didn't mind how clingy he was being.She hesitated. "But…" Shaun didn't give her the chance to say no. He stepped out of the car and walked around to the passenger side. Then, he opened the door and bent down to lift her straight into his arms.Carrying her bridal-style, he walked straig

    "What did he want to talk to you about?""I... I wanted to ask about your face. Gilbert said he knew what happened. He told me if I met with him, he'd tell me."Shaun paused and looked at Halsey. "So you went to see him just to ask about my face?""Of course! What else did you think? That guy's a total creep! He suddenly cut a piece of steak and tried to feed it to me, saying he'd only tell me if I ate it. I didn't, obviously!"Seeing how much she disliked Gilbert made Shaun feel better. So that was what it was.But still...Shaun looked at her closely. "You really don't know what happened to my face?"Halsey shook her head. "No. Why do you keep asking like I'm supposed to know? Am I supposed to?"Shaun went quiet for a few seconds. It seemed like Halsey wasn't involved back then after all. Which meant Gilbert must've been the one behind it."Can you tell me what actually happened to your face?""Three years ago, I got badly hurt when working with the police to catch the majo

    Shaun's hands clenched tightly into fists at his sides. Without a word, he stormed over to the table where Halsey and Gilbert were sitting."She's not eating that!" he said sharply.Hearing his voice, Halsey looked up in surprise. "Shaun? What are you doing here?"Shaun reached out and grabbed her slender arm, pulling her up from her seat. "You're coming with me."He was taking her away.Gilbert spoke up, "Are you seriously just going to take her like that? She's having lunch with me today!"Shaun shot him a cold look. "She's my girlfriend now. I'm warning you—if you try meeting her behind my back again, I'll make you regret it!"With that, Shaun took Halsey and walked off.Gilbert dropped his knife and fork on the table with a loud clatter. He had purposely tried to provoke Shaun over the phone, yet Shaun still came to get Halsey.Clearly, his plan to drive a wedge between them didn't work.Damn it.Just then, someone walked over. "Hi, Mr. Greenwood."Gilbert turned his he
