Tessa Caldwell's breath caught, and then she let out a sigh before immediately standing up and rushing towards Faye: "Honey, you're back."
Late at night, sitting at home next to a man who has openly loved you for years, and this man is right beside you—if Faye gets angry, how should she explain?
Shawn Morton is sick!
Yes, yes, yes, this reason is very good! And it fits the truth.
Like a bolt from the blue, it struck Shawn Morton straight on, and his eyes instantly widened in shock, staring hard at Faye.
It was unclear whether he was shocked that Tessa truly had a husband, or shocked at how handsome her husband turned out to be.
Out of politeness, Tessa Caldwell knew she had to introduce the two.
She tried her best to appear natural, first introducing Faye: "Honey, this is Shawn Morton." Then she told Shawn, "This is Faye, my husband."
Faye gave Shawn Morton a cold look, without reaching out, with a high and aloof expression.
Shawn Morton didn't reach out to shake hands with Faye either, with a serious face, "Tessa and I have grown up together since childhood; our relationship is extremely, extremely good, incredibly good, and we even promised to be a couple in the future."
Tessa Caldwell's mouth twitched, "Shawn Morton, can you stop talking nonsense? Promising to be a couple with you—I might as well livestream myself eating crap."
Shawn Morton was shocked and shouted, "Tessa Caldwell! Would it kill you to give me some face?"
Ignoring the two arguing, Faye directly bypassed them, heading toward his bedroom.
Already extremely angry, Shawn Morton now felt like his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were about to rot, glaring at Faye: "Hey you, I'm asking if you know about manners… Oh my… Tessa Caldwell, where did you find this gem…"
"That's called aloofness, do you get it!" Tessa Caldwell replied to Shawn Morton as she ran over to grab Faye, whispering, "Go to my room, not the guest room."
Then, without bothering with Faye, she pushed him into her bedroom and swiftly closed the door.
Turning back, she said to Shawn Morton, "Who told you to come to my house at night? Of course my husband would be angry, this means he cares about me; not being angry would be odd."
"Tessa, listen to me," Shawn Morton started his Longevity Monk routine, speaking with a good-natured face, "Actually, with men, I understand them best, really, a lot of them are not good things."
Tessa Caldwell frowned, "You speak as if you're not a man yourself!"
Shawn Morton took a deep breath, speaking with deep emotion, "I'm different, I'm not like those bad men, I'm the one who loves you most in this world. I didn't originally want to tell you, but I'm worried you'll be deceived, so I must inform you about this knowledge regarding men!"
Tessa Caldwell wiped her sweat, "No need, thanks for your kindness."
Not accepting his painstaking efforts, Shawn Morton looked very angry at Tessa Caldwell, accusingly saying, "I'm doing this for your own good! I love you so much, how can you marry someone else!"
Tessa Caldwell couldn't be bothered to deal with him, having discussed this topic hundreds or even thousands of times before.
Seeing that Tessa Caldwell didn't want to pay any attention to him at all, Shawn Morton was even more upset: "I'm serious, Tessa, this man looks like he has bad character, good only for his stinking skin. I'm telling you, there are a lot of men like him nowadays, but in fact, they're seasoned players in the flower garden, specially deceiving young girls like you, cheating money and love."
