After Jay hung up the phone, Cole could not calm down for quite some time.

Was he really living his life so meaninglessly?

His devastating life was indeed inferior to Shirley's currently dazzling lifestyle. It was no wonder Sir Ares despised him.

When he thought about the fact that he was leaving Imperial Capital with Jay soon, Cole decided to visit his son Dawn.

He came to the Severe family's house in Swallow City. When Dawn heard that he had come over, he quickly ran out of the house and spread his arms while shouting affectionately from afar, "Daddy!" Cole hugged Dawn tightly into his arms.

Although Cole and Shirley were not married, Dawn had never been cold toward his father just because his parents were living separately.

Shirley had played a considerable part in this as she constantly described Cole as a perfect hero in front of Dawn.

Cole was forever grateful to Shirley because of this.

"Why haven't you come to see me for so long, Daddy?"

Dawn acted coyly in his arms.

Cole explained, "Daddy has been a little busy recently. But even if I have no time to come over, you can always ask Mommy to bring you to Imperial Capital to look for me."

Dawn pouted and said, "Daddy, Mommy has been busy as well recently. She's been going on dates with Uncle Greene."

When Cole heard this, the expression on his face instantly stiffened.

"Dawn, Mommy and Uncle Greene are merely colleagues. They're only hanging out together for work. They're not going on dates," Cole corrected him.

In his mind, if Shirley and Francis honestly had feelings for each other, they would have gotten together long ago.

Dawn remained firm in his opinion. He swore while patting his chest and said, "I'm telling you the truth, Daddy. Mommy told me herself that after she and Uncle Greene get married, she'll give me another brother."

When Dawn put it that way, Cole started to feel a drum beating inside his heart.

He was inexplicably flustered and tried to look for the cause of the panic in his heart. However, it seemed to have come out of nowhere.

Ultimately, he secretly thought, 'Maybe I'm not fond of the idea of Shirley giving Dawn a younger brother because I'm afraid Dawn will no longer receive the same amount of attention.'

When Shirley came downstairs and saw Cole, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled at him and said, "You're here for a visit?"

Cole looked at Shirley and noticed that her face was a little pale. Then, Cole asked in concern, "Your complexion doesn't look so good. Are you sick?"

Shirley replied to him calmly, "I've been busy with work nowadays, so I'm completely burned out. I even stayed in the hospital for a few days."

Cole said, "Why didn't you tell me when something like this happened? I could've at least taken care of Dawn for you so that you'd be at ease while recovering."

Sis Shirley's eyes appeared dimmer. She hesitated for a long time before suddenly raising her head and saying to Cole very seriously, "Cole, what I need is a husband, not a man who takes care of my child alongside me."

Cole was stunned. "What do you mean by that?"

Sis Shirley appeared lonesome when she said, "When I got sick, I finally understood something. Only a husband and a wife would share life's joys and sorrows with each other forever because when one of them falls into a trough, the other one will stick with them no matter what."

After a slight pause, Sis Shirley finally revealed, "I'm getting married, Cole."

Cole was thoroughly stunned when he heard the news.

He thought that Shirley would always be waiting for him.

Their love was destined to be a tussle.

He had tried to pursue Angeline, but it was to no avail.

Shirley had tried to chase after him, but her efforts did not come to fruition.
