Chapter 1187
| was stunned. "You didn’t try going to the hospital?”
Shannon gently sighed. “He refuses to go. When | want to do it, he'll be fine with it at first but something would
get to him later. He'll back out at the last minute. I've thought about it and figured that this could be a
psychological problem. But | haven't gotten a clue about his past and don't know how to start asking him about
it. This irritatesa lot."
| thought about it and said, "Maybe you can try asking Lally. She worked alongside Frank Fredericks for many
years before this and surely knows a thing or two about Jordan. Maybe she has the answer that you want.
Shannon nodded. "I'll find tto ask her, then.”
"Do you think it's because he once loved a woman and ended up getting hurt by her, which left him with
psychological trauma? Why else do you think that a rich and handsman like him isn't married yet? Also, why

| twitched my mouth. “Aren't you a woman?”
Shannon rolled her eyes. "Before this, | mean."
"| suggest you stop making wild guesses and just ask Lally about it.”
One would not find the reason by making wild guesses.
Shannon gently sighed, then she rolled her eyes. She changed the topic back to me. " Looks like you plan to
continue things with Theo?"
| pursed my lips and said with a complicated expression, "I don't really know what my next step is, actually.
There are a lot of things out of my control. | was dying to push him away previously
because | was afraid that | would be a burden and couldn’t make him happy. | was afraid that he would one day
regret being with me."
After a pause, | continued, "If he hadn't pesteredso much, then | could have held myself back. When he
chose to pester me, | wasn't able to control myself anymore. | love him and felt tormented every t| had to
push him away."
Shannon looked atwith a slightly envious gaze. "You know what, Wanda? I'm really envious of the love Theo
has for you. | once thought about the kind of man | wanted. It's alright if he has no money or power, but he must
love me. Nothing should be more important to him than me. 1 n fact, | knew in my heart that Jordan may not
loveat all, and at best, he just likes me. As for me, | don't love him that much either. We're dispensable in
each other's hearts."
This was the first tShannon spoke to m e about her requirements for her future husband. Though | was a
little surprised, it was not entirely unexpected.

A woman like Shannon must find a man who loved her very much, and only then could she remain simple-
minded forever.
After a long silence, | said, "I'm blessed to have met Theo. Although | suffered greatly i n the first few years, he
lovedall along, using his silly ways to treatbetter. After learning about his intentions, | stopped doubting
if he'll one day stop loving me. He has givena sense of security when it comes to loving me, so a woman
really needs to find a man who truly loves her."
If love was not enough from the beginning, how could love be enough once it was consumed by the mundanity
of life?
“That's why | envy you.”
Shannon smiled. “Actually, I've not dated anyone before. | had classmates who were dating at the tbut |
found them to be childish. Later when | saw that everyone had started dating, | wanted to try it out of boredom. «
But | was too picky and no one could capture my interest.”
