Missing Mrs. Lowry: The Billionaire’s Wakeup Call

Chapter 16

The window was hell down, revealing Sullivan’s noble visage.

Dressed in a classic black and white sult, it looked as if he’d just emerged from some upscale gathering; there was a hint of relaxation about him, making Megan seem all the more disheveled by contrast.

Through the miny night, their gazes met and held in silence.

Megan’s lips quivered from the cold. Her hands clutched at her violin as if it were the last lifeline in her existence. She knew this was the olive branch Sullivan was extending to her

All she had to do was swallow her pride and get into the car She would immediately have a clean blanket and hot shower, wouldn’t need to perform at the mall the next moming, and would wake up in a luxurious and soft large bed, resuming her role as Mrs. Lowry

once more.

But that wasn’t what she wanted!

Megan stood in the rain, quietly locking eyes with him.

As the rain grew heavier, it wet her lashes and blurred their vision of each other.

For about a minute, she on forward in the rain with one hand over her head. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Droplets splashed up, speckling the expensive car body.

She passed by him in the rainy night, their paths diverging.

In the dead of night, the sound of Megan running in the rain knocked on Sullivan’s heart… softly, dully,

He didn’t leave the car, he let Megan pass by. He saw her pallid face. He noticed her beautiful fingers bandaged with medical tape, her simple clothes, and the total absence of any fine jewelry on her.

Yet even so, Megan didn’t bow to him.

The rain continued..

In front of the windshield, the wipers swayed tirelessly.

Inside the car, the driver and Bianca sat in silence, both aware of Sullivan’s foul mood.

After a long pause. Sullivan finally spoke softly, “Blanca, can you explain why Megan isn’t working at that training center and instead chose to perform with this rather undignified performance company? Does she like to suffer?”

Bianca was greatly shocked. After contemplating for a moment, she spoke in a low voice, “I thought this would make her come back home sooner! Mr. Lowry, I can explain to her that this wasn’t your intention.”

In the dim light, a crimson glow lit up between Sullivan’s fingers.

He smoked with an air of distinction

Through the thin haze of smoke, Sullivan’s voice carried a hint of mockery, “In her heart, what difference does it make whether you did it or I did?”

Blanca relaxed slightly.

But then Sullivan snuffed out his cigarette and turned his voice icy, “Get out

Blanca was stunned, “Mr. Lowry, it’s raining outside.”

Sullivan leaned back into the leather seat, tilting his head back slightly, his pale neck and strong Adam’s apple visible in the dark

He chuckled derisively. “Megan can run out there, why can’t you? Bianca, what makes you think you’re more delicate than Megan?”

Bianca was utterly embarrassed. She knew this was Sullivan’s way of punishing her for undermining Megan without his consent. His message was clear either get out and run or get out of the Lowry Group altogether.

She had underestimated Megan’s place in Sullivan’s heart and overestimated her own!

With shaky legs, Bianca stepped out of the car.

The rain was heavy, drenching her business suit

Her whole head and face were drenched, and with gritted teeth, she took off her high heels.

She began to run through the rain!

The driver in front was dumbstruck, knowing full well that Blanca was usually haughty, priding herself on being Mr. Lowry’s junior, she always looked down on others.

Who would have thought she’d see this dayl

Sullivan reclined in the back seat watching quietly, but his thoughts were with Megan.

He pondered, why he insisted on having Megan return?

Megan’s disposition was too gentle, not to his taste. Truthfully, Sullivan had never truly liked anyone. Even the idea of marrying Cressida had been more about the astonishment of a violin’s melody that lingered in his memory upon waking.

But later on, he no longer enjoyed the music whenever Cressida played. It gave him a headache!

As for Megan, it must have been habit.

The other day, he had misplaced his cufflinks, and if Megan had been there, she would’ve told him their exact location immediately. And just yesterday moming, as he went to the wardrobe to change, he got a static shock from a metal handle.

It was the first time since they had married.

With Megan around, she always paid great attention to the humidity in the house. In autumn and winter, she would wrap anything that could generate static with insulating covers… Life with Megan was actually quite comfortable. But he took pleasure in it while disregarding her.

On this rainy night, Sullivan sat in the car, thinking of all the things about Megan. He concluded at the end that the reason he wanted Megan to return was because she fit the role of Mrs. Lowry, not because he had fallen for her
