Chapter 527: Michale Shaw Side Story (18) Cohabitation, the Little Green Tea Man
Shaw Family
The old man stared out the window, sighing heavily, causing the whole family to become anxious. Old Mrs. Shaw was the most worried since her partner, who usually slept very well, had been frequently waking up in the middle of the night lately. When asked for the reason, he wouldn’t say.
In fact, Old Shaw had been in a good mood the previous couple of days.
Because of a certain rebellious grandson, his mood deteriorated, and he thought:
He must have been rejected!
But before he could stay happy for a few days, that boy came back home to pack his bags, saying he was moving in with a friend.
“Which friend?” the old lady asked.
Michale Shaw just winked at his grandfather and said with a smile, “Grandpa knows.”
The old man was so angry he wanted to hit him. It seemed like they had to speed up the process of coming clean to the family. He really couldn’t understand how his grandson had clearly liked Hannah Johnson when he was in school, yet suddenly changed so drastically.
However, in this period, he had been trying hard to accept it.
He doted on his only grandson, and his happiness was more important than anything else.
His son and daughter-in-law were traveling abroad these days. Once they returned, they would call a family meeting to properly discuss this matter.
——
As for Michale Shaw, he was beaming with joy these past few days, looking radiant and full of energy at work. He had officially moved into Tobias Carter’s place.
Assistant Merritt, who was unaware of the situation, was hit hard the first time he went to pick up Michale Shaw for a business event.
Because he saw his boss acting coquettishly in Tobias Carter’s arms.
“Melody, give me a kiss.”
“No, someone’s here to pick you up. Let go quickly.”
“Then let me kiss you.”
Under the shocked gaze of Assistant Merritt, Michale Shaw pecked Tobias Carter on the cheek and then happily acted like a fool.
Assistant Merritt let out a deep sigh:
It’s over!
How was he supposed to explain this to the old man!
Should he just quit and run away?
He heard there was a very spiritual temple, would his wish of world destruction come true if he went to pray there?
Michale Shaw changed into a suit, and before leaving, he looked at Tobias Carter again, “Granny Carter isn’t awake yet?”
“Not yet. Although the surgery was very successful, considering her age, it’s quite dangerous to undergo a craniotomy at this age.”
Michale Shaw nodded, “Do you have any plans tonight?”
“Do you need something?”
“I want to ask you out.”
“…”
Two men having a candlelight dinner would certainly cause misunderstandings, so Michale Shaw specially invited Archer Carter too.
Ever since Archer Carter drunkenly revealed his family secret to Michale Shaw, the two had built a deep revolutionary friendship. He was originally quite happy, thinking that Michale Shaw was inviting him out for drinks and dinner, but then he realized he was just being used as a tool again.
But today, he wasn’t the only tool.
There was also Ivy Shea.
In the afternoon, Michale Shaw attended a business event and happened to see Hannah Johnson with Ivy Shea. Children almost always liked Michale Shaw and insisted on clinging to him.
Ivy Shea looked very much like Isaac Shea, with a pair of beautiful puppy eyes, yet his demeanor and expressions were similar to Hannah Johnson.
Adorable and captivating.
Archer Carter, being the youngest in his family, naturally had a childlike demeanor. Teasing Ivy Shea, he deliberately snatched things from him. Usually, kids would either throw a tantrum or sulk, but this boy simply turned to Tobias Carter:
“Brother Archer doesn’t like me, does he?”
“Huh?” Tobias Carter was taken aback.
“He snatched my things and was fierce, even glaring at me.”
Tobias Carter looked at his brother, as if saying: Competing with a three-year-old child, do you have no shame?
Archer Carter was dumbfounded.
Ivy Shea then looked at him, “It’s okay. I don’t blame Brother Archer. Maybe it’s my fault. Please don’t scold Brother Archer because of me.”
Archer Carter was stunned. It was the first time he met Ivy Shea. Initially, he was curious about why a boy was called Ivy.
Now he understood.
A little green tea boy!
Michale Shaw, standing nearby, was almost laughing his head off.
However, Tobias Carter seemed to enjoy it. After all, who could resist a stunning boy looking at her with beautiful, puppy-dog eyes. She gently coaxed him, and Ivy Shea leaned against her, smiling, “You’re so nice. Can I hug you?”
“Of course.”
Ivy Shea hugged Tobias Carter’s neck, “I like you a lot. Can I come and play with you again next time?”
“Of course.”
“Then let’s exchange contacts.” Ivy Shea said, holding out his smartwatch.
Though a green tea boy, Ivy Shea was so likable that he made Tobias Carter quite happy. Archer Carter hadn’t seen his cousin this delighted in a long time. Since Michale Shaw moved in with her again, she was visibly happier.
It wasn’t in vain that he poured his heart out to Michale Shaw that day.
Only Granny Carter hadn’t woken up yet, and he remained worried, praying daily for her to wake up soon.
Michale Shaw didn’t expect this green tea boy to be this popular.
Although Ivy Shea was a boy, he had been good at being coquettish and charming since he was young, so he was very well-liked, except by…
His father, Isaac Shea!
After all, two tigers can’t live on the same mountain. How can there be two green teas in one family?
After dinner, Ivy Shea clung to Tobias Carter’s clothes, saying he wanted to watch a movie. He’d already seen that animation three or four times and still wanted to watch it. Since Tobias Carter’s incident, she hadn’t been to a cinema.
Archer Carter had long hoped his sister could live a normal life and fanned the flames of the idea.
After the movie, as they left the cinema, Hannah Johnson was already waiting outside.
“Mommy—” Ivy Shea ran over, “I’ve missed you.”
“It’s only been one night, how much could you have missed me?”
“A lot, a lot.”
Hannah Johnson smiled, ruffled her son’s hair, greeted the Carter siblings, and thanked them for taking care of him that night. Then she had a private conversation with Michale Shaw, “What’s going on between you and Young Master Carter?”
“Sis, what do you think?” Michale Shaw just smiled.
Hannah Johnson frowned, “Are you serious about this?”
“I’m not one to mess around. I’m with her intending to get married.”
Hannah Johnson didn’t know Tobias Carter was a woman and just patted his shoulder, “Then I wish you both the best.”
In the late spring and early summer, she wore a professional suit, her wavy hair cascading on her shoulders, eyebrows painted and lips red, those fox-like eyes seducing with every glance.
Even Archer Carter couldn’t help but look at her a few more times.
“Pretty?” Tobias Carter asked calmly.
Archer Carter nodded, “Her looks rank in the top three among Capital City’s socialites. It’s said that when she was in school, her admirers could line up from the Capital City to Paris.”
“Really?”
“After she started working, there were still many who pursued her. But Mr. Hale is her cousin, and with her strong personality, she was eventually won over by Isaac Shea.”
“There were indeed many who pursued her.”
“Even you know that?”
“Michale Shaw also pursued her.”
Archer Carter didn’t dare to continue talking.
Holy crap, why didn’t he know this?
What was going on now, new love and old flame? He’d better take his leave quickly.
It was clear that Michale Shaw had noticed Tobias Carter was in a bad mood during the ride home. Once they reached the community, she got out of the car first. The magnolia flowers were still in full bloom, their fragrance thick and serene. She stood enchanted…
Until Michale Shaw embraced her from behind, her body trembled violently.
