Chapter 897
Halsey froze, feeling awkward all of a sudden. She hadn't meant to bump into Shaun-she was actually trying to
avoid him. Somehow, she ended up walking right into him instead.
As she looked up at his striking face, memories from the night before hit her like a wave. He had held her down
and kissed her...and called her “Chelsea.”
Halsey quickly pushed Shaun away, then took two steps back herself.
Flustered, she stammered, “S-Sorry.”
Shaun noticed her flushed face and how uneasy she looked. He smirked a little and said with a teasing tone, “It's
fine, really. No big deal. Why are you so nervous?”
Halsey suddenly realized he was right. They had already broken up. While she was still all over the place, he had
clearly moved on and was calm as ever. It was obvious he had gotten over it.
She felt pathetic. She should be like Shaun, cool and composed. Besides, with Madeline around, there was no
way they would completely avoid each other.
Taking a breath, Halsey tried to pull herself together. “Sorry about that.”
Shaun grabbed a bowl and sutensils. “Let’s eat first.”
Madeline tugged Halsey down into a seat. “Con, Halsey. Tto eat.”
Halsey nodded. “Okay.”

Shaun checked Madeline's temperature. She still had a bit of a fever.
He said, “You've been running this fever on and off. I'll cby for the next couple of days to take care of you.”
Madeline beamed. “Alright!”
Since Shaun was already looking after her, Halsey figured she wasn’t needed. “Since your brother's here with
you, | think I'll head home.”
She really didn’t want to be in the sroom as Shaun. It was just too uncomfortable.
Madeline looked surprised. “You're not staying? Are you really busy lately?”
Halsey gave a small smile. “Even if | stay, | wouldn’t be much help. Your brother's doing all the work. I'm not
super busy, but I'll be starting a short course at school soon. Calvin helpedget a spot.”
Before Madeline could respond, Shaun cut in, “Maddy, if Halsey doesn’t want to stay, just let

her
We wouldn't want to get in the way of her love life.”
Love life? What was he even talking about?
Halsey looked across the table at Shaun. “It’s not that | don’t want to stay...”
“But you want to leave, don’t you?”
She had nothing to say.
Shaun added, “It's fine. Go ahead. I'll take care of Maddy. Even if you're sitting here, | bet your heart's already off
with Calvin.”
Halsey was getting frustrated.
Madeline blinked in confusion. “Who's Calvin?”
Halsey said, “Calvin is-"
Shaun cut in again. “Calvin's a college
professor. Hefrgood!
ew ash SDuaced and
good-looking-he’s definitely her type!”
Halsey stared at Shaun, completely thrown off. Why did it feel like he was mocking her? What had she done to
offend him?
Madeline said, “Well, Calvin sounds great. Halsey, you should go and enjoy your romance with the professor!”
As soon as those words left her mouth, Madeline felt a sharp glare aimed at her. She looked and saw Shaun
glaring at her.
