CHAPTER 422: CHAPTER 422: THE SAME THING WON’T HAPPEN

After parting with the heroine, Chiara Thorne went to the company where Landon Lawson worked.

Looking at the majestic and grand company, Chiara Thorne sighed helplessly. Why is this man so blind?

A woman as outstanding as the heroine has countless admirers waiting to pursue her. Even someone as accomplished as Felix Owen couldn’t win her heart. Yet, in her heart, there’s only this one man, who doesn’t understand how to cherish her.

"Sooner or later, you’ll have a day of regret. Don’t come crying to me then."

Chiara Thorne said slowly, then walked step by step into the group.

After Nolan Shaw had settled the second-in-command, he returned to report to Landon Lawson.

Looking at Nolan Shaw who had already returned, Landon Lawson spoke slowly, "Have you safely sent him over now?"

"President Lawson... just rest assured when I handle things, and I ensure there won’t be any harassment." Nolan Shaw said proudly.

Landon Lawson nodded with satisfaction.

"Now he’s our secret weapon. Whatever happens, protect him."

"But is he really that important now?" Nolan Shaw asked somewhat doubtfully.

Landon Lawson nodded slightly: "Now it seems he is truly important. Since we can’t defeat the second-in-command head-on, we need to fracture from within."

After hearing Landon Lawson’s words, Nolan Shaw realized the man had already devised a plan.

He never expected Landon Lawson to come up with a counter-strategy so quickly. Moreover, it made him truly relieved; at least the company now seemed hopeful.

"What about Evan Quinn?"

Landon Lawson asked suddenly, as he hadn’t seen Evan Quinn since his return.

Nolan Shaw shivered and quickly said to Landon Lawson, "He should be playing at Shaw’s place now, the previous incident definitely won’t happen again."

Nolan Shaw said with certainty, a slight hint of worry on his face.

Previously Evan Quinn sneaked away alone, which actually scared him terribly... if anything unexpected had happened, he truly couldn’t bear the responsibility.

Landon Lawson chuckled softly and said to Nolan Shaw, "Now that you know fear, you should guard him well for me."

"I’ll bring Evan Quinn over right away." As Nolan Shaw finished speaking, he hurried out, afraid that any delay might invite an accident.

When Nolan Shaw brought Evan Quinn back, he wiped the sweat off his forehead, "President Lawson... I’ve safely brought Evan Quinn back to you."

Upon entering the room, Evan Quinn looked somewhat puzzled at Nolan Shaw and said, "Why rush so much? I almost couldn’t catch my breath."

Nolan Shaw: "..."

If not fearing an accident, why would he rush?

Who would have thought little Evan Quinn would mock him now?

Landon Lawson, smiling broadly, looked at the two before speaking slowly, "Alright, stop bickering. Prepare yourselves; your mommy’s coming to pick you up."

Landon Lawson said to Evan Quinn beside him.

Upon hearing he was about to leave, Evan Quinn’s face changed; his previously smiling face suddenly turned wistful: "Do you want me to leave quickly? Not to disturb your life anymore?"

Evan Quinn’s little face showed a hint of helpless, bitter smile. Landon Lawson’s brow slightly furrowed, gently embracing him, lifted his little grandson, and kissed him on the cheek.

"You will always be my son, and I will always love you."

"But you don’t love Mommy now, so you don’t want me either."

Evan Quinn wasn’t an easily fooled five-year-old; that pretty face finally had a hint of resigned smile.

His eyes stared intently at Landon Lawson and suddenly spoke: "Has something happened now? Are you worried about Mommy and me, so you’re letting us leave?"

"What are you saying?"

Landon Lawson’s brow furrowed slightly, turning his head and glaring fiercely at Nolan Shaw, who hastily raised his hands to signal, "President, it really wasn’t me who said anything; this matter has nothing to do with me."

Seeing Nolan Shaw’s continual assurance, Landon Lawson breathed a sigh of relief.

He sighed gently, "What did I tell you?"

"Nothing...nothing."

Nolan Shaw looked worriedly at Evan Quinn, noticing no difference on his little face, exhaled in relief, thankful he hadn’t misspoken otherwise Landon Lawson might’ve torn him apart...

Landon Lawson’s gloomy face made it hard to guess his thoughts.

Yet Evan Quinn squinted his observant eyes, his mind already decided, knowing this wasn’t so simple.

Obviously, his daddy loves Mommy deeply; even he, as a child, could see that... but why couldn’t these adults reveal their true feelings?

Could it be that there’s indeed an unspeakable secret?

Evan Quinn’s eyes showed slight, fleeting curiosity, but he hid it well immediately.

Evan Quinn carefully observed the two people before him, deciding to investigate secretly by himself before heading to France.

Suddenly a little assistant pushed the door open from outside, saying to Landon Lawson, "There’s a Ms. Thornton outside saying she’s here to pick up the young master."

Having heard of Chiara Thorne’s name, both Landon Lawson and Nolan Shaw nodded toward the assistant. Soon Chiara Thorne walked in.

"Chloe~ Hurry over and let me hug you."

Chiara Thorne upon entering, crouched down and opened her arms toward Evan Quinn, who suddenly flashed a broad smile and ran toward her, jumping into her embrace.

"Auntie Chiara, why are you here today?"

"Your mommy asked me to pick you up and take you home."

Chiara Thorne said before standing up, holding Evan Quinn, giving Landon Lawson a distant glance. Before he returned to the country, her impression of this man wasn’t good; if not for him, the heroine wouldn’t have been forced to move to France.

But after returning to the country, seeing the heroine finally smiling a bit, she gradually accepted Landon Lawson’s presence.

However, now she’s found this man is not at all as she imagined... he simply isn’t suitable for the heroine.
