Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2405

Shannon had mentally prepared herself for Alex to blurt out something like "She can't stay as long as I'm in this house."

But now wasn't the same as when she'd first returned. Now, she had a solid footing in the house and earned her sense of belonging. She wouldn't be rattled by anything Alex said or pack and leave just because he made a scene.

If Alex wanted to leave, let him. It had nothing to do with her anyway.

After all, it was Elowen who caused all that mess; what did it have to do with her?

She refused to believe that Alex would stick to his plans of becoming a monk.

Seeing Shannon and Benjamin return, George's face softened into a warm smile. "Shannon, back from your date with Benjamin?"

The two showing up together did look like they'd just been out on a date.

Shannon and Benjamin exchanged a glance and didn't deny it. They'd been out dealing with some aftermath, and that was kind of considered a date too.

Then, George cast a side glance at Alex, who'd been cowering back ever since Shannon walked in. Ignoring him, he turned back to Benjamin and said, "Sorry you had to witness that drama."

Benjamin's expression didn't change as he calmly replied, "We're a family. No such thing as drama."

That one line softened Adam's stern expression and spread a wide smile across George's face.

Back when everyone had forgotten Shannon, only Benjamin had remembered. He'd even gone as far as to hold a wedding without a bride.

Once the truth came to light, everyone in the family felt regretful and had been waiting for the right time to host another wedding. Now seemed like the perfect moment.

Everyone's attention was suddenly shifted away, leaving Alex completely dumbfounded. But remembering his resolve, he quickly turned around and marched off to his room.

He was leaving! Today, no less!

Alex had suddenly been swapped into the body of a tortoise and promised to be switched back in three days. But when the time was up, everyone was too occupied to think of that.

With the Descent of the Alternate World and Shannon's disappearance happening all in between, they'd almost completely forgotten about him. Anyone would have felt bitter.

More importantly, the feeling of being trapped in a robotic vacuum cleaner where no one responded to his pleas or cries, and just uncontrollably going through the mechanical motions day after day, was horrible.

Though nearly three years had passed, Caleb still felt like crying every time he thought about it. His heart ached all over again, and his expression practically screamed, "I feel you!"

Hank eyed him, and after a long silence, hesitantly asked, "Are you thinking of becoming a monk too?"

Caleb was utterly speechless. Had he not made himself clear?

Who said anything about becoming a monk? He wasn't that emotionally damaged as Alex was!
