Chapter 2038: 2038

“I’m nothing but a plaything in bed to you . ” Shen Manting glared at him with tears streaming down her face . “You’ve always loved Ye Youyou, yet you despised her in equal measure for so many years because of Guan Kai . I feel sorry for you!”

Shen Luo’an clenched his fists and stared at Shen Manting . He hissed through gritted teeth, “Shen Manting!”

Shen Manting sniggered and wiped away her tears . “What now? Are you preparing to hit me?”

Shen Luo’an strode towards her quickly . Shen Manting’s expression changed . She shouted, “What do you want from me, Shen Luo’an?”

However, Shen Luo’an remained silent .

Shen Manting felt a surge of panic in her heart .

What… was he trying to do?

Shen Manting’s body responded faster before her brain could decide on a fight-or-flight reaction . She turned around and broke into a run .

The park was vast . Shen Manting stumbled and staggered across the expanse, running as fast as she could .

“Stop!” Shen Luo’an hadn’t expected such a startling reaction from Shen Manting . “I won’t hit you . Stop right there!”

Of course she wouldn’t stop . Instead, she picked up her pace and sprinted forward .

Shen Luo’an grew frustrated as he struggled to catch up with her extraordinary speed .

She was agile and moved swiftly . Before long, she had already fled through the bushes and was nowhere to be seen .

Shen Luo’an’s head was pounding . He yelled, “Wait for me . I’ll promise you anything you want . I never knew you thought about me that way deep inside, Manting . Wait for me!”

Shen Manting heard his voice from behind her . Her heart trembled slightly .

But she didn’t stop . She soon ran out of the park onto the road .

After running for some distance, she suddenly heard Shen Luo’an shouting, “Get out of the way!”

Then, she heard the sound of a car horn .

An oncoming car was honking frantically at her .

Shen Manting was startled and turned to her side .

The glaring headlights made her eyes burn with pain .

She squinted her eyes instinctively .

When the oncoming sports car collided into her, a thought flashed across Shen Manting’s mind: It’s time to end this once and for all .

From a distance, Shen Luo’an saw the car hit her . His pupils shrank in horror . He screamed at the top of his lungs, “Shen Manting!”

His desperate scream traveled into her ears .

Shen Manting heard a cracking sound coming from her body . Then, she felt a piercing pain spread all over her body .

She was hurting badly .

Was she going to die at last?

–

Mrs . Shen finally managed to lull the infant to sleep . Yet, the infant started to wail loudly as soon as she walked out of the room .

His cries came so suddenly that she was taken by surprise .

She hurried over to the infant and cradled him in her arms, cooing to him and caressing him gently .

She noticed that the infant’s cries sounded a bit unusual this time around .

His little face was flaming red and he kept waving his fists furiously in the air .

She coaxed him, hugged him, and fed him milk, but he wouldn’t stop crying .

Mrs . Shen grew so anxious she almost broke into tears . For the first time, she sat on the sofa helplessly with the infant in her arms, feeling desperate .

“When are you coming home?”

Mrs . Shen stomped her feet in frustration . She picked up her phone and dialed Shen Luo’an’s number .

The ringing tone went on for a long time, as if there was no one on the other end of the line . Finally, he answered before the call automatically hung up .

“Hello? Luo’an!”

“Mother…” Shen Luo’an’s voice was trembling, choked with emotion .

Mrs . Shen became tense . “What’s the matter?”

However, before Shen Luo’an could say anything, the sound of him sobbing out of devastation traveled through the line .

Mrs . Shen was startled . She immediately panicked and shouted into the phone, “What’s the matter? What’s going on? What’s wrong?”

Shen Luo’an took a few deep breaths . Then, he regained his composure and assured Mrs . Shen, “It’s all right . Take care of the baby . We won’t be coming home tonight . ”
