Meanwhile, the Long family had also returned to their mansion in Steerlain Island by car.
On the way back, Shawn and Jenna sat in one car while Marianne drove her own Tesla.
When Shawn had seen that his daughter was in a trance and seemed lost, he had wanted her to go back with him in one car, but Marianne had refused.
Marianne was upset and wanted to be alone, but to her surprise, all she could think of was Charlie on the way back.
She subconsciously thought of the bits and pieces of her memories with Charlie ever since they had met. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Charlie was already embedded in her heart.
However, when she thought of how Charlie had been deceiving her from the beginning to the end, she could not help but have even more complaints against Charlie.
Fortunately, although she was upset, she did not encounter any unexpected incidents on the way back, and she drove her car home safely.
After she had parked the car, Shawn looked as if he had lost his soul when he got out of the car in front. He seemed to be recovering from a serious illness, and he was even moving with a little inconvenience.
When Jenna saw this, she hurriedly supported him and asked in concern, "Shawn, are you alright?"
Shawn sighed and waved his hand feebly as he said," Let's talk about it at home."
Marianne also felt a little distressed for her father, and she hurriedly walked to the other side to support him.
The three entered the villa, and Shawn asked them to bring him to the sofa to sit down.
The moment he had sat down, Shawn heaved a sigh of relief as he muttered to himself, "I have lived for more than fifty years, but today has been the most frightening day in my life..."
Jenna, who was aside, wiped her tears and choked up as she said, "I'm sorry, Shawn. This is all my fault...”
"It's okay!" Jenna said without hesitation, "We should go through all difficulties together since we are husband and wife."
Shawn laughed in a self-deprecating manner and suddenly said, "To be honest, you can actually consider renewing your relationship with Janus if you still have feelings for him. He has someone like Charlie to back him up now, and coupled with his
outstanding abilities, his future must be limitless."
Jenna hurriedly shook her head and said, "Shawn, I told you that I was done with him when I came back from the United States. I can't possibly get back together with him again in this life. Over the years, I have been feeling more and more guilty toward him. After all, I'm the reason he could not come back for so many years. Therefore, I've only been secretly taking care of his family just to make myself feel better..."
After saying that, Jenna burst into tears, looked at Shawn, and said sincerely, "Shawn, after today's events, he could finally return to Hong Kong and be reunited with his family. That burden in my heart is finally gone. I just want to live a good life with you in the future, and I want us to be together regardless of poverty or disease, just like the vows we made when we got married..."
Shawn, who had been surrounded by many women all his life, suddenly felt very emotional at this time.
