Carla’s mysterious smile made Naomi embarrassed.

She thought, ‘Shawn! What did you tell Carla? I don’t need any soup to get my strength back!

Carla laughed, feeling very happy for them. “I got o, Naomi. I have to check on Ms. Larson.”

“Sure. Thank you, Carla!” Naomi said under the blanket. Her face was burning- She realized she was growing closer to Shawn, and if they continued like this, she would find it even harder to leave him in the future.

Her rationality told her to stop, but she couldn’t control her feelings for him.

All she had to do now was follow her heart.

She didn’t know when that man would show up or if she could protect herself when he did.

Everything was uncertain now.

After Carla left and the bedroom became quiet, she lifted the blanket and took a few deep breaths before looking at the soup on the bedside.

The soup looked creamy and smelled great. She took a sip of it and found that it was fish soup.

She realized that it was Shawn’s prank.

After drinking the fish soup, Naomi felt her whole body warm. One tended to feel sleepy when she relaxed, especially after intense sex.

Naomi lay lazily after getting everything out of her mind.

Shawn returned to the bedroom soon. He wore a dark blue nightgown with his collar slightly open. His hair was still wet so he took a hairdryer and went to the bedside. “Get up and dry my hair for me, Naomi.”

Before she could refuse, he pulled her out of her blanket.

Naomi looked at Shawn with resentment in her eyes and said, “You’re so

annoying. Shawn!”

Shawn smiled and put the hairdryer into her hand, waiting for her to serve him. Naomi dried his hair for him while scolding him in her heart. She was so mad that she pulled his hair hard.

Instead of getting angry, Shawn enjoyed it very much.

After drying his hair, she put the hairdryer on the bedside, yawned, and lay on the

bed. “I’m going to sleep. I’m exhausted and sleepy.”

Shawn picked her up again and asked, “Really?”

Naomi nodded. “Yes. I’m too sleepy to keep my eyes open.”

“There’s been some progress on that orphanage thing you had Chandler look into,” said Shawn.

Naomi’s eyes widened immediately. “Do you get any evidence?”

“We found one of the relevant people, but h

nies being involved in bullying

and killing Elena.” Shawn gently stroked her hair and said, “Don’t worry. They’ll pay for what they did.”

Naomi pondered for a while and nodded. “Okay.”

Shawn said, “There’s another piece of news. Lila is dead.”

Naomi sat up immediately and said, “How? Why did she die suddenly?”

Shawn said in a cold voice, “She committed suicide, but I think she was forced by

someone.”

Naomi was shocked for a long time.

Her mood was completely ruined.

Shawn kissed her on the forehead and said, “We’ll find out the truth.”

“I know.” Naomi lay back in the blanket and said, “I’m so tired, Shawn. I want to sleep.”

“Sure. Come here,” said Shawn.

Shawn lay on the bed. She naturally nestled in his arms with her cold hands and feet against him. She listened to his heartbeat and fell asleep soon.

Shawn got up slowly after she was asleep. He just got news that a man who looked just like him was at Sunshine Children’s Home.

Frankie informed Chandler of this.

Shawn had to go to Sunshine Children’s Home now.

When he went downstairs, he saw Chandler already waiting for him. “The driver is waiting, Mr. Fischer.”

“Let’s go,” said Shawn.

Zoey was not in Sunshine Children’s Home, so Frankie was taking care of the children with nannies.

The man had been standing in the center of the yard for a long time with all the children gathered around him. He looked at each of them with a dark and serious

gaze.

Frankie secretly took a photo of him with his phone. The man indeed looked a lot like Shawn, but he had a frightening vibe. Especially when he stared at others. he exuded a quality that made people want to run away.

The next second, however, he would show a kind smile and speak softly. Don’t be afraid. You all look cute.

“Do you want to go home with me?”

Several brave children took a step forward and expressed their wishes. “Yes”

The man smiled and gritted his

not cute enough,” he stopped st disdainfully, “Just look at yourself. You were abandoned and you should stay at the orphanage for the rest of your life.”

The man turned around and walked towards Frankie. He stopped in front of him and said with a creepy smile, “Are you having fun taking pictures of me

Frankie was so scared that he took a step back. You…”

“What?” The man lowered his voice and took another step closer. He was a lot

taller than Frankie so every time he got a little bit closer, he put more pressure on Frankie.

Frankie kept stepping back. He was still a child and had just had a serious illness so he was very timid.

He saw this man take another few steps forward. He looked a lot like Shawn, but his fierce gaze was intimidating.

“Stay away from me.” Frankie stepped back and finally turned around to run towards the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shawn and Chandler.

He breathed a sigh of relief. “You’re finally here, Mr. Fischer, Chandler. That guy is so scary!”

“Where is he?” Chandler followed Shawn and looked into the yard. Except for the children, he didn’t see the man Frankie was talking about.

Frankie turned around and was stunned. The man had disappeared.

He disappeared in the blink of an eye!

“Where is he?” Frankie ran to where the man stood just now. “He was just here and has been approaching me.

“The children saw him too. He talked to them.”

Chandler grabbed Frankie and said, “We’ll see after checking the surveillance

footage”

With finding from the Fischer Group, the orphanage installed a lot of equipment that was not available before. Surveillance cameras were already everywhere. “Rught. The surveillance” Frankie hurriedly took them to check the surveillance footage. They saw that man in the video but couldn’t see his face clearly.

Every time he turned, he deliberately kept cameras. Even when he had to face the can avoid being filmed.

er away from the surveillance directly, he lowered his head to

And the reason why he suddenly disappeared was that when Frankie ran to the gate, he turned around and entered the house. He walked through the hallway to the back of the house and then climbed over the wall to leave.

“This man is so strangel” Frankie murmured, “He came here to adopt children, requesting one boy and one girl. He had us gather all the children in the yard for him to choose from, but after looking at them, he said something very impolite.” Frankie felt guilty. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have been a coward. I was afraid to go up to him because his eyes were so scary”

“It’s not your fault.” After watching the video, Chandler patted Frankie on the shoulder and comforted him, “Don’t trust a stranger easily next time.

“I see. Do you think I’m a useless person?” asked Frankie.

“No. Don’t think too much. We have to go Chandler didn’t have much time to comfort him. He followed Shawn and left the orphanage.

Back in the car, Shawn handed Chandler photo. “Do you remember this man?” Chandler took the photo. The man in the photo was burned all over his body. Chandler searched in his mind and said hesitantly, “Could it be that man, Mr. Fischer?”

Shawn sneered and said, “I don’t know.

“No one in the Fischer family looks like me, so I’m sure he must have had plastic surgery.

“Think about how many years it’s been since his accident.”

Chandler pondered for a long time. The gore he thought about it, the more he realized that Shawn’s guess could be right. Are you gonna tell Ms. Edwards about this, Mr. Fischer?”

“No need. This man is definitely gonna come to Naomi again. Send more men to protect her,” said Shawn.

“Got it,” said Chandler.

Shawn thought, “This man’s intention is more than just getting Cheryl pregnant and causing her to miscarry. If he works with the Fowler family…

Shawn’s eyes darkened. He took out his laptop and typed quickly. Soon, he opened a real–time map with a long red line on it, which ended at an island. He zoomed in on the map and saw that island was very quiet.

Shawn erased the access logs and logged out. After closing his laptop, he called Emily. “Let’s meet, Emily.”

“Sure. You’re finally willing to see me, Shawn.” Emily agreed happily, “Where are you? I’ll be right there!”

Shawn told Emily the address and hung up. He hated her so he chose a restaurant with long tables.

It didn’t take long before Emily arrived.

Seeing him sitting at the end of the dining table, Emily hesitated for a moment and sat on the other end.

“Why did you want to see me, Shawn?” Emily put one hand on the table, rested her head on it, and stared at him with a sweet smile.

She looked directly into his eyes with an admiring look.

Shawn glanced at her and came straight to the point. “You sent the man Cheryl had sex with, didn’t you?”

Emily’s eyes widened. “What are you talking about, Shawn? What happened to Cheryl? Is she seeing anyone?”

“You’re a terrible actress, Emily.” Shawn looked at her coldly. “Do you think you can keep Cheryl’s miscarriage from me?”

Emily shut up, and after a while, she pouted and said unhappily, “You just can’t forget Cheryl, right, Shawn?”
