As soon as I posted in the Monts, I received several replies.
Erin Bishop: You must have blocked Sutton from seeing this before you dared to post it.
Alden: So people appear tough, but once ho, they kneel on the washboard.
Liam Sterling: If you don’t beat them every three days, they’ll tear the roof off.
Shannon Quinn didn’t block Landon Sutton, but she wasn’t afraid of him either.
Landon Sutton rarely used WeChat in the past, and hardly checked Monts.
Usually, both Alden and Shannon Quinn used WeChat to contact him, so he used it a bit more.
His WeChat only included her and a few of his buddies.
Guys don’t chat much, only speak when necessary; more often, Landon Sutton preferred calling directly.
Therefore, WeChat felt like his exclusive chat tool with her.
After the last "itu Ya" incident, Shannon Quinn decided not to inadvertently cause trouble with good intentions.
When it ca to her own man, she needed to be a bit selfish and petty; there were plenty of won outside eyeing him.
Landon Sutton bought so bubble tea and, handing it to her, said: "You can have so occasionally now, but when you finish these busy days, let’s go to the hospital for a check-up. Once you’re pregnant, you’re not allowed to touch any of this unhealthy junk food."
Shannon Quinn pouted, took big sips through the straw, and murmured: "If you’re like this, I don’t want to have a baby anymore."
Landon Sutton frowned: "What did you say?"
Shannon Quinn buried her head and continued eating: "I said the bubble tea hubby bought is really good."
"Shannon Quinn, finally, I found you." A staff mber from the venue ran over, panting.
Shannon Quinn put down her spoon and asked, puzzled: "What’s up?"
The staff mber said: "There’s a young girl outside who says she wants to see you, but she doesn’t have an invitation. The security was about to send her away, but she refused to leave, insisting on seeing you today, claiming she’s your friend. I forgot her na, but why don’t you co out and take a look? I can’t tell if she really knows you or is just ssing around."
Shannon Quinn frowned, thinking that she didn’t know any young girls.
Her current social circle was only her company, and although the company had many young girls, they were all attending as staff today.
She couldn’t help but be a bit curious.
"I’ll go check it out right away; you go ahead and tend to your tasks."
Shannon Quinn quickly stuffed food into her mouth, took a couple of bites, then put down her chopsticks and said to Landon Sutton: "I’ll be right back after taking a look; don’t dump my food, I’m not full yet."
Landon Sutton wanted to tell her to finish eating first, but she had already tidied her clothes and was quickly heading towards the entrance in her high heels.
When she got serious at work, she had a special charm.
It was the peak entry ti for the venue now, with a bustling crowd at the entrance.
Shannon Quinn tiptoed to look around, and the staff at the door saw her right away, instructing her and pointing to a girl sitting alone on the steps, saying: "Miss Quinn, that’s the girl looking for you. Do you know her?"
Seeing the girl, Shannon Quinn was montarily stunned, then nodded, saying: "I know her. Let her in."
The girl wore a simple white T-shirt and faded jeans, seeming sowhat out of place among the well-dressed crowd.
But compared to before, it seed she had made an effort to dress up.
Her skin was still dark, her long hair tied in a ponytail.
Had it not been for the harm she had inflicted, Shannon Quinn might have thought she was a very cute girl.
Joel Bellamy was brought in by the staff; when she stood in front of Shannon Quinn, she seed a bit nervous, pursed her lips, and looked at Shannon Quinn with a sowhat dodgy gaze.
"Why are you here?" Shannon Quinn took the lead to ask.
Joel Bellamy looked at Shannon Quinn, her gaze carrying so regret, and softly replied: "Actually, I’ve wanted to find you for a long ti, but I never knew where to go. A few days ago, I unexpectedly saw news about you online, about this exhibition, so I followed the address and ca."
Shannon Quinn’s attitude could not be described as cold nor enthusiastic, but she remained polite and gracefully asked with a social smile: "What did you co to see for?"
Joel Bellamy pursed her lips, lowered her head again, tightly clutching the strap of her bag in front of her chest, took a deep breath, lifted her eyes, and said to Shannon Quinn: "I’ve wanted to say sorry for a long ti. It was my montary greed that caused your troubles..."
Shannon Quinn frowned, her heart questioning for a mont whether Joel Bellamy genuinely ca to apologize, or had so other intention and was planning another trick.
Joel Bellamy said: "After you left, I thought a lot about it; my parents scolded plenty. I knew I did wrong, and if I could do it all over again, I would have returned him to you as soon as you ca looking, just as you said. At least that way, he might still feel grateful towards . But in the end, it only hard myself and you guys..."
Shannon Quinn had already let go internally; she considered what she lost during that ti as the sacrifice to have Landon Sutton return alive.
As for Joel Bellamy, she neither liked nor disliked her.
Indeed, without Joel Bellamy, Landon Sutton might not have been able to co back alive to her side.
So after returning, she put all the events on the island behind her.
It’s unclear with what sincerity Joel Bellamy ca this ti, but after listening to her words, Shannon Quinn smiled and said: "I forgive you."
Joel Bellamy seed to breathe a sigh of relief, then bowed her head, rummaged through her bag, and handed sothing to Shannon Quinn, saying: "This... belongs to you, it’s being returned now."
Shannon Quinn looked at the blue stone bracelet, paused for a mont before reaching out to take it: "Thank you."
Joel Bellamy’s expression finally had a smile: "Now I understand why he likes you. You’re really great."
Shannon Quinn smiled: "He’s inside, want to see him?"
Joel Bellamy pursed her lips, stayed silent for a mont, then shook her head, smiling: "No need, my dad ca with , he was just calling to rush . I have to go first."
Shannon Quinn nodded: "Sorry for making you co all this way."
Joel Bellamy gave a shy smile, seed like she wanted to say more, but then turned and quickly left. At the door, she turned again and said to Shannon Quinn: "You’re always welco to visit."
Shannon Quinn smiled and nodded, replying courteously: "I’ll co by if I have ti."
In reality, that island was a place she never wanted to visit again; it housed too many unpleasant mories she didn’t wish to touch.
Watching Joel Bellamy leave, Shannon Quinn lowered her head, looked at the bracelet in her hand, stuffed it into her pocket, and walked quickly back.
When she returned to the lounge, Landon Sutton was indeed waiting there patiently for her to co back and continue eating.
He even thoughtfully covered their food to keep it warm.
As Shannon Quinn ca over, Landon Sutton lifted his eyes from his phone and asked her: "Who did you go see?"
"Guess."
"A guy?"
Shannon Quinn shook her head, then reached into her pocket, took out the bracelet, and showed it to him.
Landon Sutton realized after a mont: "Joel Bellamy?"
