My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 499

Shawn wanted me to give him a month. Since he had said so, I decided not to get involved in LG's matter as I believed he would have a satisfactory answer for me. My confidence in him had never wavered.

Leon and Francesca were still at Felix's Villa. There were two helpers taking care of the three children in the house and two adorable puppies running around them. From afar, it was a lovely scene.

I walked over to carry Skyler and placed him in Shawn's arms. I then took River in my arms and greeted Tamara before going upstairs.

While I was putting River on the bed, Shawn, who was holding Skyler in his arms, looked at River and me and asked, "How is May?"

"It's unusual for you to be concerned about others," I replied with a smile.

"Mr. Briar has just reported to me that Sir Larson is returning to Iceland. It seems that both of them haven't patched things up."

"You're right," I caressed River's head and continued, "May is in a helpless state and she's unable to make any decisions right now. However, she said she will handle the situation herself, which is why I returned to Felix's Villa earlier to seek you out."

As it turned out, I witnessed him meeting privately with LG when I returned.

Florence brought me there so that I could be on my guard. Truth was, I wanted to ask Shawn about what was going on between him and LG, but I knew that I couldn't be paranoid and had to trust him firmly.

Then again, it was still something I cared about deeply. I heaved a restless sigh and muttered, "I'm hungry."

When Shawn heard that, he immediately placed Skyler in my arms and walked downstairs. A while later, he brought up a plate of pasta.

He seemed to enjoy preparing pasta for me.

His pasta was delicious. I asked if making pasta was his specialty, but he simply beamed and stated, "I'll leave it to you to guess."

He is mischievously teasing me!

After I finished my last mouthful of pasta, I reached over from behind and wrapped my arms around his neck as I leaned on his back. Seeing that, River quickly climbed over to us and hugged Shawn's elbow, calling out, "Papa!"

Shawn was overjoyed as a smile immediately appeared on his face. "You're adorable."

He then drew River into his arms, tilting his head to summon Skyler at the same time.

I was happy to see him taking the initiative to get close to Skyler.

Skyler was surprisingly obedient. He climbed toward Shawn's voice and when he was close enough, Shawn picked him up and took him into his embrace as well.

We were all clinging to Shawn at this point. I then recalled that he was wounded, and I was afraid that he would become too tired, so I quickly released my grip on him. "Sunny, take care of your wounds. Those in Bryxton can't stir up any trouble because no one knows when your wounds will heal."

"It's not necessarily bad for everyone to get injured," he responded.

At the same time, River was fidgeting in his embrace. I was afraid that she would aggravate Shawn's wounds, so I quickly took her from his arms.

However, River was starting to recognize people now. The moment she left Shawn's embrace, she began to cry and throw a tantrum.

"Give her to me," Shawn said gently but I refused.

"She is just fussy."

"Don't worry. I know how to deal with my daughter."

This was the first time I heard him referring to River as his daughter.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard his words. It was an indescribable sensation. "Be careful, alright?" I warned him as I handed the girl to him.

I then took Skyler from Shawn's arms. Though River was making a fuss, she didn't misbehave much in Shawn's embrace.

Seeing that, I bent and kissed her on the cheek. Shawn let out a chuckle before raising his head. "What are you doing, Sunny?" I asked deliberately.

"Kiss me too, babe."

I narrowed my eyes and smiled. "How can you do this, Sunny?"

"What?" he responded with his brows raised.

"How can you be so adorable even when you are acting coquettishly?"

I kissed his cheeks as soon as I finished my sentence, but River reached out and pushed my face away.

"Your daughter is not allowing me to kiss you," I responded with a frown.

Hearing that, Shawn immediately took Skyler from my arms and went downstairs. When he returned, both children were gone with only two puppies trailing behind him.

He allowed them to enter the room. After closing the door, he grabbed me by the waist and sat us both on the bed while murmuring in a deep tone, "No one is stopping us now."

That rendered me speechless.

I did not expect him to be so childish!

However, it was too late. His palm started moving up my waist…

The next morning, I woke up late after a long night with Shawn.

He never seemed to get tired when it came to this. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

When I went downstairs, Shawn was nowhere to be found.

Hence, I texted him, to which he replied, 'Rooftop.'

I then took the elevator to the rooftop.

There was a small garden on the rooftop. Shawn was dressed in a white shirt and he was sitting on the lounger beside the garden. The buttons on his chest were unfastened, revealing his sturdy chest and a bandaged wound with faint bloodstains. With my gaze fixed on his wound, I approached him and inquired, "Sunny, when will the scab form?"

"Within the next few days, I suppose. Don't worry."

There was a glass of warm water beside him. I took a sip from the glass before asking him, "Why did you come up to the rooftop all of a sudden?"

"Just to walk around. I don't have anything to do anyway."

I accepted his words without saying anything. Suddenly, I remembered the honeymoon he once said.

Well, not exactly a honeymoon, but merely the both of us taking a vacation together.

Thus, I asked, "When are we going on a holiday?"

He raised his gaze and countered. "Are you in a rush?"

Is he teasing me on purpose?

"It's annoying to have everyone from Bryxton here. I want a change in scenery, and you're the one who said that you have the time these days."

He casually hummed in response. "We will leave in the afternoon."

I had assumed that I would have to wait at least a few days, but surprisingly, Shawn made the decision right away.

"Can we bring the babies?" I asked happily.

However, I was met with a cold response. "Perhaps next time."

He wanted to take only me.

"All right, then. I'll send them back to Felix's Villa later."

"Pack your luggage and remember to bring some light clothing."

Hearing that, I asked excitedly, "Where are we going?"

"I'll be keeping that a secret for now," Shawn said, refusing to tell me our destination.

I quickly went downstairs and back to the room. Since it would only be the both of us, I intentionally packed some alluring inner garments I had never worn before. These were my secret weapons given by May previously!

Aside from that, I also packed two suitcases full of light clothing. Remembering the bright summer sun, I also threw in a few pairs of sunglasses before going downstairs to look for the nanny.

I took River from her and instructed, "Bring the two kids back to Felix's Villa later. I'll have Joseph send you all there."

As I didn't feel like taking a car ride, I did not want to send them myself.

"Understood. Is there anything else you'd like us to keep in mind, Mrs. Xenos?"

"Nothing. I am going on a trip. Take good care of the kids and when I return, I'll give you all bonuses."

I was never stingy with my money.

"Thank you, Mrs. Xenos."

After hearing what I had just said, Leon, who was sitting on the couch, turned to face me and asked, "Where are you going? When are you coming back?"

"We are going on a honeymoon. There will only be Francesca and you in the house, so enjoy your time together."

Tamara, who was standing by the side, chimed in, "I am here too, Aunt Renee!"

She was truly an interesting yet mischievous child.

I laughed as I said, "You're right. Our Tammie is here too."

At this point, Leon insistently questioned, "Where are you going?"
