All Chapters of The Billionaire’s New Love: You Remembered Too Late: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Two days later, the Miles Estate was unusually quiet. Shannon and Aria had left shortly after breakfast for what Aria had loudly declared a necessary recovery day. Shopping, lunch, manicures, pedicures, whatever else Aria decided qualified as emotional maintenance after the chaos of the past week.Kennedy had not asked. He'd simply handed Shannon one of his cards.She had stared at it. "Dad, I have money.""I know.""Then why are you giving me this?""Because you're my daughter.""That is not an explanation.""It is in this house."Aria had immediately reached for it.Kennedy pulled it away from her. "Not you."She gasped.Shannon had laughed, kissed his cheek, and left with Aria shortly afterward. That had been almost three hours ago. Now Kennedy sat in the smaller afternoon sitting room with a cup of coffee and several reports he hadn't properly read.A maid entered. "Chairman, you have visitors."Kennedy looked up. "Who?"Before she could answer, another voice came from behind her.

Shannon's face went completely still. "Interesting."Edward frowned. "What?"She looked toward Evelyn then back at him. "So she can be here."Evelyn's smile faded.Edward's jaw tightened. "This is business.""Is it?""Yes."Shannon nodded slowly. "She arrives without an appointment, Sean's office refuses her, you bring her upstairs anyway and somehow I'm the problem.""Shannon..." Aria warned softly but Shannon wasn't raising her voice.Edward stepped closer. "Evelyn represents Whitmore Group.""And I represent myself.""This isn't your company."Evelyn finally spoke. "My company is partnered with Vale Group."Shannon looked at her. "Congratulations."The contempt in that one word made Evelyn's face harden.Edward turned toward security. "Escort Miss Miles out."Everything stopped.Aria stared at her father. "What?"Edward didn't look at her. "Until this matter with Kennedy is resolved, I don't want her in this building."Shannon's eyes slowly narrowed.The security officers hesitated

Evelyn stared through the tinted window. The idea made her uncomfortable for approximately three seconds, then another thought came, simpler, cleaner.What if Shannon simply stopped being there?Evelyn's breathing slowed. Her own mind startled her this time. Kill her? The word arrived bluntly.Evelyn shifted in her seat. No, she wasn't a murderer. That was insane. She wasn't going to kill anyone. Still her mind didn't completely reject it. That disturbed her more than anything else.She looked away from the window. There were other ways, there had to be. But one truth remained, Sean had made his choice so Evelyn would have to improvise, and Shannon Miles might have inherited one of the most powerful names in the country but powerful people bled too.Back at the Miles Estate, Mr. Voss closed the folder on the coffee table. "I'll have everything my people find sent directly to you."Kennedy nodded. "No middlemen.""Agreed."Amelia stood. Her cup remained half finished.Kennedy noticed

Sean looked at her for several seconds then sighed. "I hate this.""What?""This." He gestured between them. "Seeing you like I'm visiting."Her face softened.Sean continued. "I want you close all the time. Twenty four hours."Shannon's brows rose. "That's slightly possessive.""Extremely." He didn't even pretend otherwise. "I want to wake up and see you, I want to know you're okay because you're beside me, not because Aria texts me. I want to hear you complain when I touch your stomach too much.""You do touch it too much.""My child lives there.""Our child."That made him smile then the sadness returned. "I miss sleeping beside you."Shannon went still.Sean looked down. "I miss holding you, I miss reaching for you at night." His jaw tightened. "And this is stupid because you're here you're not gone, we're together but somehow..." He shook his head. "...I still miss you."Shannon's eyes softened. She knew exactly what he meant.Sean pushed his chair back.She watched him stand.He

Shanon's heart thundered.She thought about Kennedy, about Amelia, about Edward, about everything surrounding them, then she looked at Sean, just Sean, the man kneeling in front of her, the man who had bought the ring before knowing she carried his child, before any possible advantage, before the latest war, and suddenly the answer wasn't complicated at all.Shannon smiled through her tears. "Yes."Sean froze. "What?"She laughed. "Yes."His entire face changed. "Yes?""Yes, Sean."He stood so fast she laughed again then his arms were around her. He lifted her from the floor."Sean!""I love you.""Put me down!""No.""The baby!"That worked instantly. He lowered her so carefully it made her laugh harder, then he kissed her softly at first then again.Shannon held his face.Sean pulled back only enough to slide the ring onto her finger.Both stared at it.Sean looked almost stunned. "My wife."Shannon laughed. "Fiancée.""For now."She looked up.Sean smiled then his expression became
