Chapter 406: Chapter 406

Shannon Quinn finally explained: "He’s Aidan’s classmate, here to learn some experience."

Landon Sutton didn’t say anything further upon hearing this.

Compared to before, he’s now more open-minded. He doesn’t nitpick over opposite-sex interactions at work anymore, and he’s at least not as hostile toward Aidan as he used to be.

After a while, when Shannon Quinn was really chatting with Leo, Landon Sutton abruptly said: "Put the wedding ring back on when we get home."

Shannon Quinn chuckled and explained: "I’ve been learning to cook lately, wearing it feels inconvenient."

During the pregnancy, it was fine; she was a bit rounder, and the ring could barely stay on.

After the miscarriage, she grew thinner and the ring became unstable, so she took it off.

Of course, she wouldn’t tell Landon Sutton this reason.

Landon Sutton: "I’ll cook, just wear the ring properly."

Shannon Quinn muttered: "You don’t wear yours either."

Landon Sutton looked at his bare hand and said: "Mine is lost."

Shannon Quinn knew it was lost during his accident, but deliberately joked: "Lost your wedding ring! Looks like you don’t want to be married anymore."

Landon Sutton: "I’ll have a new pair custom made when I have the time."

In fact, being an old married couple, Shannon Quinn didn’t care about the formalities that much.

While young, maybe she longed for a fiery love, but now she just wants a peaceful, steady life.

She doesn’t want to experience any more storms.

In the children’s restaurant, they met Peach, who was still accompanied only by Caleb Grant.

Seeing this father-daughter duo, Shannon Quinn couldn’t help but think of Sheila Yardley.

Watching Peach’s face, resembling Sheila Yardley, Shannon Quinn always felt there was some story between them.

But she thought it was unlikely.

"Brother!" Shannon Quinn was still hesitating whether to go over and greet them when Peach waved her chubby little hand joyfully and called out to Leo.

Leo showed a rare smile, let go of Landon’s hand, and ran over to Peach.

Shannon Quinn was curious about when these two little ones had become so familiar with each other.

Afterwards, she inquired with Leo and learned that Peach used to be at a daycare next to the place where Leo learned piano.

Peach couldn’t sit still and had a lively personality, eagerly socializing with the kids there.

Landon Sutton and Caleb Grant were already friends, so they shared a table.

At the round dining table, the two kids sat together, whispering about some whimsical topics, full of childlike curiosity.

Shannon Quinn sat nearby, filling her own stomach while serving the two little ones their food.

Landon Sutton chatted with Caleb Grant about their recent happenings and some work-related matters.

Shannon Quinn just listened without interrupting, as Landon rarely had such chances to chat with his friend.

Their conversation was all about financial investment and stock-related matters.

Shannon Quinn was keenly listening, hoping to glean some information about Peach and her mother from their conversation.

But men’s topics differ from women’s small talk and emotional gossip. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel·fire.net

Women might find it boring, but they chatted excitedly.

By the time the meal was over, she hadn’t heard a word about Peach.

Let alone about Peach’s mother.

Once Caleb Grant left with Peach, Shannon Quinn asked: "Are you really friends with him?"

Landon Sutton was puzzled: "Why ask?"

"Aren’t you concerned about his personal relationship issues?"

Landon Sutton: "Why should I care about his relationship matters?"

"But you two are good friends, aren’t you curious about whose the child’s mom is since he suddenly popped up with such a big daughter?"

Landon Sutton: "It’s not my kid, what’s there to be curious about?"

Shannon Quinn felt unable to continue the conversation, turned to look at the child who had already tilted her head asleep in the car, and gently pulled Landon’s jacket from the seat back to cover the child, subconsciously lowering her voice: "Don’t you think Peach looks like someone?"

Landon Sutton glanced at Shannon Quinn through the rearview mirror and said: "Your sister."

Shannon Quinn felt an instant connection: "You see! You think the same! That’s why I suggested you ask; he might turn out to be our brother-in-law."

Landon Sutton: "Then why don’t you directly ask your sister?"

Shannon Quinn: "The child isn’t with Elaine, how can I ask her? You should just directly ask Caleb Grant where the little girl comes from and see how he responds."

Landon Sutton: "I think matters of their relationship should be left for them to handle. Whether or not they have some history, we shouldn’t interfere."

Shannon Quinn: "I don’t agree, sometimes it’s good to have someone bridging the gap, like us. If it weren’t for your brother speaking up for you back then during the divorce, I probably wouldn’t have waited so many years."

Landon Sutton frowned: "You couldn’t bear to remarry because you couldn’t find someone as outstanding as me?"

Shannon Quinn rolled her eyes: "Don’t flatter yourself! If it weren’t for your brother, you’d be somewhere crying."

Landon Sutton: "Should I thank him properly then?"

Shannon Quinn: "That’s between you brothers, deal with it yourself. I’m thinking, since Elaine is back tomorrow and it’s the weekend, why not invite everyone over for dinner; you can invite Caleb Grant too."

Landon Sutton: "I can invite him, but whether he comes is up to him."

Shannon Quinn nodded: "Mhm, give it a try."

Thinking about Caleb Grant and Elaine meeting, she felt quite excited.

Looking at Peach, Shannon Quinn felt Sheila Yardley and Caleb Grant must have some untold story.

She pondered again and asked Landon Sutton: "You’ve been friends with Caleb Grant for years, how do you find him as a person?"

Landon Sutton replied: "As a friend, he’s quite loyal; as for romantic matters, I have no idea since I haven’t dated him."

Shannon Quinn: "I’m not asking for firsthand experience. Has he had any girlfriends before, or is he a player?"

Landon Sutton seriously thought for a moment and said: "My friends, except for Ronan Rhodes, seem quite similar to me in being loyal and passionate."

Shannon Quinn rolled her eyes dramatically: "I decide if you’re loyal, don’t joke, let’s be serious. If Peach really is Elaine’s child, then I need to understand Caleb Grant’s character; I won’t let an unfaithful person ruin my sister’s promising life."

Landon Sutton: "I’ve heard he had a girlfriend before, but they broke up for some unknown reason. He was heartbroken for a while and hasn’t been rumored to have dated anyone since."
