All Chapters of We Shouldn’t Have Met: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Winona tore the copy to shreds, and in her hysteria, she shouted, “But this isn’t what I want! I want the Shaun Zimmer who will cry, laugh, and be jealous! Give me back my husband!”She grabbed me and started pleading with me in a choked-up voice. I picked up the torn copy and put the pieces back together. “It took me a long time to copy down the family rules until I got to this part. Now that you’ve ruined it, I’ll have to start again.”Winona just smacked the pieces from my hand, and her breathing turned hurried and chaotic. “Shaun, I’m talking to you. Could you stop ignoring me?! I was the center of your world back then!”I rubbed the scar on my arm and could not understand why she was so angry. She was the one who wanted me to behave. I said nothing and simply looked down at the ring on her ring finger. Winona hid her hand awkwardly, and there was a hint of frustration she could not hide in her voice. “That’s Jacob’s birthday wish. I couldn’t say no. It’s just a small th

“The bones are too shattered. You might lose some basic functions in your hand. It’s such a pity.” The doctor looked regretful. I forced a smile as I stared at my heavily bandaged hand. For three whole days, Winona did not even call me, but I saw her sweet love with Jacob trending online. The moment I lay down, I received a phone call from Nina Marsh, my godmother. “Shaun, Winona posted online that Nathan took bribes, and he got so worked up that he was hospitalized because of a stroke!”I hurried to the hospital. Nathan Marsh, my godfather, was still in the ICU, and Nina cried into my arms as she trembled. While keeping my anger in check, I called Winona. “How could you do this to my godfather?! You wouldn’t be where you are today without him!”I grew up in an orphanage, and I only got a family after getting to know my best friend, Apollo Marsh. Before Apollo passed away from an accident, he had asked me to take good care of his parents, and his parents treated me like t

“What did you say? Say it again!” She clenched her fists. Her assistant watched her for a bit and stayed silent. Winona started shouting, “That’s impossible! I sent him to Historia City to rest! I got the best physiotherapist for him!”In her desperation, she grabbed Jacob’s collar. “Was the surgery a success or not?!”Jacob stumbled and avoided her gaze. “O-Of course it was. Don’t you trust me?”Winona’s heart plummeted, and she sneered. When she called the rehabilitation center in Historia City, she found that Shaun had never been there. “As if I’d believe you. Serenity, get the car ready. We’re going back right now.”On the way back, Winona’s heart raced with unprecedented fear, and she stood for a long while at the door before summoning her courage and opening it. “I’m back, dear. Can we stop fighting…”The house was silent. It was still decorated in the way Shaun loved, and nothing was missing. She rushed into the bedroom. “Are you still angry, dear?” The silenc

When I was pushing my wheelchair, I suddenly felt the resistance ease, so I ducked my head and did not dare look up. “Thank you.”Then, I heard a familiar breathing pattern, and I thought that I was hearing things. The woman slowly squatted down and grabbed my hands. Her eyes were bloodshot. “You really are alive.”My heart started racing, and goosebumps broke out on my skin. I started rolling the wheelchair so that I could leave. “You have the wrong person.”In the next second, she grabbed my waist tightly and forced me to look into her eyes. “I didn’t. You’re Shaun Zimmer, my husband.”As I stared at the familiar face, I tensed up. “I’m not.”Winona’s breathing froze, but she still had her subordinate stuff me into her car. “Let’s go home, dear.”The car moved steadily, and when we were back, she had her subordinate put me gently on the couch. With a trembling hand, she touched my face. “I’ve been going to all the cities you loved, dear. I wasn’t expecting to find you. Thank

I did not take it. “This is meaningless, Winona.”She simply dusted off the ring. “There is! If you don’t like this one, I’ll get another one. Let’s start again, okay?”“No,” I stated firmly. Her breathing stilled, and she looked like she was suffocating. It was as if there were hands around her throat.“I understand.”She became even quieter but refused to let me leave her sight. When she went to work or on business trips, she always insisted on bringing me along, no matter how far it was. Then, she started flying everywhere to look for doctors for me, be it in the country or abroad. All she got was the same result. I could never stand up again, and my hand would never heal either. I had long since accepted this, but Winona refused to give up. She broke down outside the ward in depression and agony. “Why do things have to end up like this between us?”I could hear clear slaps echoing in the corridor, along with her stifled sobs. The doctors and nurses said that
