Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 178

When Lindsey saw Shaun, he was wearing a bathrobe and was sitting at an outdoor garden set waiting for her.

"Brother, I thought you already left."

Shaun raised his hand to signal for her to take a seat and gave her a cup of flower tea before he said unhurriedly, "The client said he wanted to stay, so I followed suit."

Lindsey picked up the tea he just poured and took a sip. The temperature was just right, but after drinking it, there was a lingering sweetness in her mouth that would not go away for a long time. It seemed like a girly drink, but it was a little too sweet for her.

"This is the tea from the resort, I added two more cubes of sugar. How does it taste? Is it good?" Shaun looked at her with some expectation.

Lindsey smiled and nodded her head. She did not have the heart to tell Shaun that flower tea itself was already sweet enough, so there was no need to add more sugar.

Seeing her smile, Shaun also revealed a contented smile.

Lindsey did not dare to look at him directly, so she looked up at the starry sky.

When Shaun saw Lindsey staring at the night sky, he suddenly said, "Do you remember when you first came to the house, you also liked to look at the sky and stars in the backyard? I even asked you why at the time."

After he mentioned it, Lindsey also recalled that there was such a thing. Back then, she was just adopted by the Juhls. She was so young, but she already had anxiety before she even knew what it was. She was constantly afraid that she would make "mommy and daddy" angry and get kicked out of the house.

Thus, she was very obedient, and even a bit ingratiating.

"So what did I say?" Lindsey was also interested and had some anticipation in her eyes.

In fact, she did not remember much about the time when she was first taken back to the Juhls, but she retained her first memories of Shaun, who was so warm and gentle. After all these years, he still had not changed one bit.

Shaun remembered it more clearly than she did and said with a smile, "You said gods are living on the stars and you wanted to see if they would show themselves."

After he finished, he laughed and said, "I was thinking how silly my new sister was. She’s so old yet she still believes that gods are living in the sky."

Lindsey also laughed when she listened to his words, but her laughter gradually became lighter and finally condensed into a faint smile.

If Shaun had not mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten that these words had sustained her for a long time, and the person who told her those words was Zayn Guggenheim.

Other memories were more memorable, so it seemed that these words slowly faded in her mind.

There were no gods in this world. It was a mere illusion born from people in a desperate situation struggling to seek that ray of hope.

Nonetheless, it was always good to have hope.

Shaun did not notice the changes in her and was talking about another memory from her childhood, which made Lindsey a little nostalgic.

Lindsey looked at the night sky as she sat in the wooden rocking chair. The stars in the sky were bright and glimmering. Lindsey would respond to Shaun's words from time to time, but suddenly, sleepiness came over her and her eyelids felt heavy.

She had always felt tired easily, but she felt that her weariness came more quickly tonight.

Shaun saw that she was a little sleepy and leaned over to her. His lips were almost brushing her ears. The starry sky brought on a romantic atmosphere as he said, “Linds, what’s that smell on you? It’s really nice.”
