Chapter 1295: Ian Shelby Is Here
At this time, Everett Morgan, who had been silent, also sighed and asked discontentedly, "Jocelyn, didn’t he give you a reasonable explanation? It’s been a whole day."Jocelyn’s nose tingled with emotion. She had waited all day for his call, yet there was no sign of him adding her back on WeChat.
She didn’t know how he was treating this relationship.
Later, she turned off her phone; it was as if he had completely vanished.
"Jocelyn?" Finn Morgan, as her brother, felt naturally concerned seeing her like this. He reached out to hold her shoulder, speaking softly, "Even if you’re going to break up, it should be clear and straightforward. Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding? What do you think yourself?"
Jocelyn raised her eyes, full of grievance, "Misunderstanding?" Thinking of those photos again, her heart was pierced with pain, "Did you see the photos? They’re not edited, right? Isn’t it true that Vera spent the night at his place?"
The girl took a deep breath, feeling deeply sad.
Finn furrowed his brows slightly, analyzing calmly, "But I feel he’s not that kind of person. If he liked Vera Ford, why would he be with you? He could have just rejected you."
"Player, huh? What man doesn’t want to have his cake and eat it too?" Jocelyn angrily put down her chopsticks, got up, and said, "Isn’t that every man’s dream?"
Just as Finn was at a loss, and Jocelyn was about to leave, Hailey’s mom appeared at the dining room door, reporting somewhat excitedly, "Dr. Shelby has come over."
In the brilliantly lit dining room, everyone turned their eyes to the floor-to-ceiling window outside, watching the car come to a stop, watching the headlights go out.
Jocelyn’s heart tightened, and she quickly ran towards the living room!
She rushed upstairs! Her mind was completely muddled—angry, aggrieved, and saddened.
She feared Ian Shelby would tell her, "I don’t love you anymore, Jocelyn, I’m sorry."
The Morgan family also put down their utensils and stood up, heading to the living room.
They treated it with the same importance and concern as if a younger member’s marriage had hit a rough patch.
They stood at the living room door, watching Ian Shelby get out of the driver’s seat, close the car door, and stride towards them.
In the evening breeze, under the night sky, Ian Shelby’s figure appeared somewhat thin.
In front of the bedroom window on the second floor, Jocelyn gazed at his silhouette, tears blurring her vision.
Ian Shelby had been busy until now, not even having time for dinner, leaving the hospital and coming straight here.
As he walked, he saw the living room door crowded with people.
Uncle and Aunt were there, Finn and Hailey were there too, even the servants were present, but Jocelyn’s figure was missing.
As Ian drew closer, seeing the subtle expressions on his face, Jasmine’s mood calmed a bit; he seemed to be here to reconcile and apologize.
"Uncle, Aunt." Ian stood at the living room door, aware that everyone had surely seen the news, "Where’s Jocelyn? Her phone is off; I can’t reach her."
Ian’s attitude was very sincere, his handsome face showing a trace of fatigue.
Jasmine suddenly felt a bit sympathetic; she understood the doctor’s profession.
But the news did cause anger, especially those photos, so she asked coldly, "Let me ask you, did that female doctor spend the night at your place last night?"
Ian couldn’t lie, "Yes."
Everyone felt a tightness in their chest, Jasmine’s face dropped.
But he explained, "I did ask her to leave and closed the door, but I didn’t expect her to go upstairs directly and stay a night in the guest room. It wasn’t with my permission, but I bear the responsibility."
This explanation was truthful, but it appeared weak and inadequate. Ian was continually regretful and self-reproachful.
As expected, Everett Morgan asked again, "Why did you bring her home?"
