Chapter 322 Zev’s Marriage Crisis
+ Pearls
Shawn’s gaze lingered on Kelly for a moment. He believed that if it weren’t for her influence, Zey would probably still be a reckless, thoughtless guy
With a smirk. Shawn casually pressed the elevator button. “Kelly, I’ll come by your place later, I didn’t know it was Shane’s birthday, so I haven’t brought a gift”
Kelly replied politely, “There’s no need for that. Ell drive. You can come with me.”
Shawn shook his head. “It’s not right. Kids always look forward to receiving gifts on their birthday.” After the elevator doors opened, he walked out. “You go ahead. I’ll catch up soon.”
Kelly smiled, while Zev watched them with a displeased expression. He reached out to pinch her cheek. “Don’t smile at him. He’s just a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
“We need to stay cautions. But since he’s offering himself up, we shouldn’t waste the chance.
Kelly held Zev’s hand and spoke softly, “You’ve already built up this reckless image. Keep playing the part unless there’s a good reason to change. When the time comes, I’ll help, and everyone will think the idea was mine. That way, Clarissa will try to keep me away. Once their guard is down, you’ll have the upper hand.”
Zev nodded, agreeing. He and Kelly were completely in sync.
“We’re a perfect match in cahoots.”
Kelly rolled her eyes. “Use better words. Did you fail the language exam back in school?”
Zey walked proudly behind her. “It’s Shane’s birthday. Why did you even invite Shawn? He’s so bold to accept.”
Kelly smiled helplessly. “I didn’t expect him to agree either.”
She had only wanted to make it seem like she and Shawn were close in front of the executives. She never imagined he would actually come to Shane’s birthday party.
At Zev’s residence, the atmosphere was lively, and Shane was especially happy.
Zev, however, sat grumpily on the couch, glaring at Shawn, who seemed to shadow Kelly wherever she went -whether she was washing fruit or getting drinks.
If someone didn’t know better, they’d think Shawn was Kelly’s husband.
“Jasper,” Zev called out to his son, who had been bouncing around happily. When he saw his father, he ran

“Who gave you those candies?” Zev asked, eyeing the candy in Jasper’s pocket.
Jasper quickly tried to hide the candies. “Shane gave them to me
”
Zev squinted. “Give me one.”
Jasper hesitated but opened the pocket to hand him one. But Zev took them all.

“Mommy…Shane jumped up and ran to Kelly, hugging her. “Jasper’s crying for you.”

Children were simple. They bonded with those who were kind to them. After spending so much time with Kelly, Shane had started calling her ‘Mommy‘ more naturally, showing a little dependence and affection.
Kelly was in the kitchen, making custard tarts, smiling as she ruffled Shane’s hair. She took off her gloves and went to comfort Jasper.
Shawn looked at Zev, squinting provocatively.
Zev was clearly doing everything he could to keep Kelly away from him.
Jasper, what’s wrong?” Kelly crouched down to comfort her son.
Jasper pointed at Zev through his tears. “Daddy…”
He was trying to say that Zev took his candies.
Zev quickly interrupted, “Jasper says I’m his daddy, and Shawn is a bad guy. You should stay with me.” Kelly believed him, pinching Jasper’s cheek and scolding Zev. “Are you filling his head with nonsense?” Zev feigned innocence. “I didn’t.”
Jasper, still crying, clung to Kelly, wanting her comfort.
Zev knew that whenever their son was upset, he would always cling to Kelly. Now, at least, he didn’t have to worry about Shawn bothering her anymore.
Making sure Kelly wouldn’t run around, Zev stood up, walked into the kitchen, and intentionally started trouble. “This is a family gathering. You’re just an outsider, so leave.”
Shawn smiled smugly. “I’ve heard Kelly’s ex–husband was a refined, classy man, unlike you.”
Zev frowned. “What do you mean?”
Shawn continued, “I’ve heard that after breaking up with a first love, people always compare everyone they meet to their ex. If the new person is different, it could mean two things. One, she hasn’t fully moved on and doesn’t want to be reminded of the past. Two, she’s just settling. Kelly is probably settling for you.”
He smirked at Zev, trying to get under his skin.
Zev’s face darkened. He grabbed Shawn’s collar. “Are you looking for a fight?”
Shawn grinned and raised his hands in mock surrender. “Kelly was a star student. She belongs with someone like me, not someone like you. You’re the last person she’d want. Plus, she’s my first love. We’ve known each other longer. I just haven’t heard from her in a while.”

He continued to provoke, “Let’s compete, Zion, I won’t back off from Kelly or the Seaville market.”
“Not a chance!” Zey shouted before punching Shawn’s face.
