Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 929

Shawn had kept it from her. He never told her he was going to get engaged to Felicia Harrison. But Winnie had been by Shawn's side for a long time. She'd access to far more information than before, so she'd already braced herself for it.

At first, she pretended not to know and continued seeing Shawn as usual, and everything seemed calm on the surface.

Then, out of nowhere, photos from Shawn and Felicia's engagement party were leaked. Clear as day on the front page of the Aqualith headlines.

Just the day before, Winnie had been sleeping with Shawn and talking about where they'd go on their next trip. The next day, the guy went behind her back and got engaged to Felicia.

Breakups happen. But keeping it from her like that? That was what left a bad taste in her mouth.

Yet Shawn was shameless. After getting engaged, still in his suit, he came straight to her apartment and acted as if nothing had happened. "You saw the news?"

Winnie's smile stayed sweet. "Congrats on your wedding."

Shawn was surprised by her sweet smile. "I thought you'd be angry. Winnie, you really are the easiest person to get along with. That's why you've stayed by my side this long."

Winnie knew her place. Honestly, she didn't even think Shawn was wrong.

Her background and family just weren't a match for him.

So a breakup was inevitable.

With that off his chest, Shawn continued. "I may be getting married, but that doesn't mean you can't stay by my side. If you don't mind, you can keep being with me."

The rich guys in Aqualith were notorious for their messy private lives. Take Shawn's father, for example. He had countless mistresses over the years. That's how Shawn ended up with nine siblings.

The environment Shawn grew up in was like that. The wealthy circles were chaotic. So, Shawn never thought much of loyalty. In his eyes, it was worthless. His engagement to Felicia was purely for profit.

Everything around him had taught him nothing about devotion or faithfulness. Which was why he genuinely admired guys like Draven and Troy.

Both men had their flaws, but when it came to love, they were loyal.

Shawn had thought about following their example, but he simply couldn't do it. And to someone born with a broken moral compass, failing at that didn't even feel shameful. He wouldn't even reflect on it.

Shawn was exactly like that. That was why he preferred people who shared his outlook on life, like Winnie.

He liked how obedient she was. He also admired how quickly she learned. When they'd first met, she'd had nothing but looks and body, not a brain. But after years by his side, she'd become smarter, sweeter, more playful—more to his taste.

Deep down, Shawn looked down on Winnie's background. But somewhere along the way, he'd also developed real feelings for her.

After he'd slept with her for so long, her sweet and obedient nature made him start to like her a little.

Winnie nodded sweetly. "Yes!"

Shawn stared at her. "Why?"

"Because you're getting married. If I stay with you, I'd be the other woman. Mr. Shawn, I was happy to be your secret lover, but I don't want to be a mistress. So we're done."

Shawn said, "What do you mean, mistress? You're my baby. As long as you're with me, I'll treat you the same as always."

Winnie said, "Don't lie to me. I know I'm not that bright, but I know what a homewrecker is. I don't want to be that person. Please don't make me do something I don't want to do, okay?"

She said it like they were calmly discussing things. There was no anger. No resentment. No sign that she felt hurt by him.

That was when Shawn started to notice something strange. "You already knew about this, didn't you?"

Winnie said, "Yep. I heard about it a long time ago, so I had plenty of time to prepare myself. I'm very obedient, right?"

Shawn was speechless.

He couldn't understand why Winnie wanted to break up with him. At the same time, an unexpected wave of loss hit him hard. She wasn't even sad about leaving him!
