Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 560:

This feeling had been building for quite some time, and only today did Katherine fully grasp its depth.

“When did you plan all this?”

Shawn held her face, his thumb brushing away her tears.

“I’ve had this in mind since the day you became my girlfriend.”

In that moment, Katherine’s heart swelled with love; she knew she’d do anything for him, no matter how whimsical it might seem.

“Are you certain you won’t have regrets? What if I fall short of your expectations? I’ve decided against having children, and I’m not giving up my career to be a housewife. In my youth, perhaps I would have considered it, but these days, I choose to prioritize myself. I might overlook your feelings at times, I’m quick-tempered, and marrying me means signing up for a lifetime of that.”

Katherine listed her perceived flaws with frankness, her voice a rapid, nervous stream.

Shawn listened to each concern with unwavering patience.

“I’m not sure if you’ll find this comforting.”

“What is it?”

“I don’t love you for your strengths,” Shawn replied earnestly.

Katherine asked, “Then why do you love me?”

“It just felt right,” Shawn admitted, struggling slightly to articulate his feelings.

“I had this feeling when I discovered you were Keyla, who shared her thoughts with me every day, speaking freely without holding back. It made me realize you were perfect for me in every possible way. We never considered this before, but trust me—this is mutually beneficial.”

Katherine eventually discovered that Shawn hadn’t stumbled into his business success; he had dedicated two years to self-study in business, laying the groundwork.

Her feelings for him, though, seemed destined from the start. Katherine sat upright and extended her hand towards him.

“I’d love to marry you.”

As Shawn fitted the ring onto her finger, he remarked, “This seals it!” He cupped her face gently, giving her a tender kiss on the forehead.noveldrama

“Tomorrow, I’ll visit your folks to talk about our wedding plans.”

“That sounds perfect.”

A flutter of excitement ran through Katherine. Just days before, her mother had been probing for updates from Shawn’s end. Now, with wedding discussions imminent, her parents were in for quite the surprise.

The following day, opting to skip work, Katherine headed back to her parents’ house early. Returning from their morning jog, Turner and Agate greeted their dog affectionately, only to find Katherine waiting in the dining room.

“Why are you here so early?” Agate inquired, looking around suspiciously.

“Is your job starting to fall apart?” Turner asked. “How much money do you need?”

Katherine was slightly uncomfortable, a stark contrast to the usual playful exchanges with her parents. Her mind was too preoccupied for humor.
