The nurse was momentarily stunned and took a while to regain her voice. "Alright, then your friend is really concerned about you." The atmosphere was so awkward that the nurse hurriedly pushed her cart and fled the room.
Michael felt a wave of disappointment when he heard Chloe say he wasn't the baby's father. He turned to her and said, "You see, you made the nurse uncomfortable." "Better than a wrong father." Michael was taken aback.
Seeing the sadness in his eyes, Chloe suddenly couldn't understand him.
He had never wanted her to get pregnant before. During their three years of marriage, he always used protection and even told her he didn't want children. Now, after the divorce, he seemed to wish the baby in her belly was his? It was truly baffling.

The group happily planned to take her back to Urban Lane, leaving Michael on the sidelines.
Just before getting into the car, Chloe turned to him. "Thank you for everything yesterday. Goodbye, Mr. Shawn." Michael returned to Lotus Manor feeling frustrated. As soon as he entered, he saw Lucy sitting on the sofa, and his expression immediately darkened. "What are you doing here?" Emma cout of a room, nervously wringing her hands. "Mr. Shawn, Ms. Campbell said she had spoken to you, so I let her in." Lucy stood up, tears glistening in her eyes. "Mike, don't blEmma. I lied to her." Michael frowned. "Don't callMike anymore. I don't want Chloe to misunderstand." Lucy trembled. He was still worried about Chloe's misunderstandings even after their divorce? If he was so concerned, why hadn't he stopped her from calling him that all these years? Although she thought this, she responded meekly, "Alright, then I'll call you Michael." So many people called him Michael that he didn't bother to correct her. "What do you want?" "It's about what I mentioned before, returning to Shawn Heavy Industries..." Lucy hesitated.
"I remember I didn't agree." Even though Chloe wouldn't be going to Shawn Heavy Industries anymore, he didn't want to work with Lucy either.
"But I've been at Shawn Heavy Industries for many years. I've personally handled many projects Recently, many of Shawn Heavy Industries' previous partners have contacted me, saying that if i'm not there, they won't..." Lucy paused, cautiously watching Michael's reaction before continuing.
"They won't continue to cooperate with Shawn Heavy Industries." Michael hadn't expected such a situation.
He hadn't spent much tat Shawn Heavy Industries in recent years because he had many flights for Paramount Airlines.
Shawn Heavy Industries was mostly managed by Owen and Asher, so he wasn't aware of this issue.
"I know you don't care about one or two projects, but Shawn Heavy Industries' success relies on these loyal clients. If they all stop cooperating, the company will definitely suffer losses." Lucy took this opportunity to step forward, trying to close the distance between them.
But as soon as she took the first step, Michael stepped back, so she stopped.

"We both watched Shawn Heavy Industries grow from the ground up. I Ο Π believe you, likedon't want to see it collapse. Personal matters are personal, and work is work. Michael, this is what you taught me."
Lucy knew that compared to Paramount Airlines, Michael cared more about Shawn Heavy Industries.
He had built the company from scratch, investing ingmense effort and tthey both knew this well. He would never allow Shawn Heavy Industries to suffer such a significant blow.
"Michael, I know my previous actions hurt you deeply. I apologize and promise that aside from work, I won't try to get close to you. I'm begging you, letreturn to Shawn Heavy Industries!" Lucy's almost pleading tone made Michael hesitate.
