Chapter 47 No Second Option!
Chapter 47 No Second Option!
The Richard family.
Baird Richard sat on the sofa. Maisie Richard was there as well, but he did not say anything. He just
looked at his son with a frown.
"Have you really thought it through? You want a divorce?!”
Baird’s voice was cold. He tried to suppress his anger through his serious expression. Joye was the
most suitable woman for Shawn. If they were together, they would be able to happily spend their days
together forever.
But he was now getting divorced because of another woman! How could he have such a misbehaving
grandson!
"I've asked the lawyer to draft a divorce agreement. I'll give her all the shares and real estate under my
name."
Shawn stood by the side. His black suit made him look even taller and more erect. His facial features
were still the same, but he looked cold and aloof. He gave off a very complicated aura.
After the divorce, Joye could officially be with other men.
"How can you give everything to her?”
Before Baird and the surprised Maisie could speak, Xaria's sharp voice could be heard. Seeing Vivian
and Dalton following behind her, Shawn immediately frowned.
Why were they there?
"Shawn, just because you and Joye are getting divorced doesn’t mean that you have to give all your
assets to her. Don't forget that you have a son now. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should
think about your son and Vivian.”
She pushed Vivian and Dalton forward and said, “Baird, this is the grandson of the Richard family.
Jasper, address your great-grandfather.”
Dalton didn't know what was going on. It took some time for his brain to react properly. He said to
Baird, “Great-grandfather, nice to meet you, my name is Jasper.”
His mother suddenly told him that he had a new name in the future and he had to tell everyone loudly
that his name was Jasper. But he preferred his old name, Dalton. He found it to be more pleasant.
There was a hint of joy on Baird’s face but he furrowed his brows in dissatisfaction. "As I said, the
Richard family's eldest great-grandson must be from Joye! I won’t accept him!”
"Dad, what do you think the kid wants? He is the descendant of our Richard family. You might not
accept it, but Maisie and I will. Jasper, this is your grandfather.”
Xaria bent down and held Dalton's hand, pointing at Maisie, who looked embarrassed.
"Hello, Grandpa. I'm Jasper."
Maisie looked at the child and then at the angry old man. In the end, his embarrassed gaze fell on
Xaria's face, but he saw her gaze. He just waved his hand and said, "Behave, Jasper. Come to
Grandpa's side."
"Yes."
Now that he had a father and a grandfather, Dalton immediately had a happy smile on his little face. He
took small steps and walked to Maisie. His good behavior gave others a better impression of him.
"Dad, look, Jasper and Shawn looked so much like each other when they were young. I remember a
photo of Shawn from when he was a child. They look exactly like each other."
Xaria’s tone changed. She looked at Maisie. Maisie then said to Baird, “Dad, he does look like Shawn.
Especially when he’s wearing this. It’s like time has turned back and Shawn is a child again.”
Vivian lowered her head and didn't open her mouth, but she was smiling. She had specially prepared
this set of clothes based on Shawn's childhood photos. Of course, Jasper would look like Shawn.
"Regardless of whether he looks like Shawn or not, he cannot be the eldest great-grandson of the
Richard family. Shawn, I’m ordering you to end your relationship with this woman and with this child!”
Baird was so angry that he stood up from the sofa. His angry look frightened Dalton. Dalton ran into
Vivian’s arms and he began crying.
"Mom, I'm scared."
Only then did Vivian take action. She squatted down and wiped Dalton’s tears away. She looked sadly
at Shawn and said, “Shawn, Aunty, I’m going to bring Jasper home now."
"You can't go back!" Xaria shouted just as Shawn was about to say something.
"You don't have to go. We will be done soon.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
With this, she turned to the door and looked at Joye, who was standing at the door.
She had already arrived for a while and saw the scene just now. Other than Baird, everyone else in the
Richard family had accepted Vivian and her son. They hadn’t even waited for them to finalize the
divorce procedure.
"Joye, my dear."
When Vivian heard the old man’s voice, she came back to her senses. With a smile on her lips, she
walked in demurely in her high heels. "Grandpa, I'm here to sign the papers."
Divorce! There was no other option!
"Joye..."
"Mr. Richard, this is the divorce agreement that I asked my lawyer to prepare. Have a look."
Joye handed over the file in his hand, but Shawn didn't take it. His lanky figure stood before her like a
stranger. He looked down at Joye with a firm gaze.
"You had better sign the divorce agreement I prepared. I couldn't have slept with you for three years for
nothing.”
Joye stayed silent.
Joye felt as though she had been stabbed in her heart. Her face was pale, and her stomach hurt. She
wanted to throw up.
"I'll go to the bathroom first."
She was afraid that her reaction would cause her some trouble, so she quickly ran up to the first floor.
"Shawn, can I take Jasper away for a while? I don’t want him to be part of all these adult matters.”
Vivian was in a dilemma. She held Dalton, who was still crying and looked at the bedroom on the first
floor.
Shawn pursed his lips and looked upstairs. "Take Dalton and wait for me in the bedroom."
"Okay, we will go up first.”
After saying that, Vivian nodded and took Dalton to the first floor.
Baird was so angry that his crutch fell to the ground. "Shawn, are you trying to piss me off? Even if you
are going to get a divorce, you don't have to humiliate that girl like this!"
Hearing what Shawn said had made Joye run upstairs. The sight made Baird want to beat him up him.
"Grandpa, can't I exchange all my assets for freedom?"
Shawn retorted with a cold voice and tried his best to suppress the irritation in his heart. That woman
had dared to appear in front of him to talk about divorce, and even called him Mr. Richard. Very well
then!
"You b*stard!"
Baird was so angry that he stretched out his leg to kick Shawn. But due to his age and lack of strength,
his reaction did little to hurt Shawn.
Joye retched for a long time, but she couldn't vomit anything out. She was just disgusted by Shawn’s
words. She had slept with Shawn for three years, and now she was pregnant!
But she couldn't do that. She wanted to completely end her relationship.
She turned off the tap, opened the door, and went out of the bathroom. She didn't expect to meet
Vivian there.
"Mrs. Richard, we meet again. Next time we meet, I think I can call you Miss Leonard."
Vivian raised her head with a smile and a hint of mockery in her eyes. Finally, the title of Mrs. Richard
would belong to her.
