My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 154

It hasn't been a long time since we started dating. I've never thought about marriage, and he had never mentioned

it.

But now, he was asking if I would like to marry him.

I was certain that something must've happened to him today. Then, suddenly, I remembered he had mentioned his

mother…

Was that the reason for his dismal mood?

Shawn had never shown me any vulnerability before, so my heart ached slightly as I kissed his face. I implored

gently, "Shawn, if something really did happen today, please tell me. I might not be able to solve your problems, but

I'm still your partner. We can face the troubles together!"

His vulnerability lasted only a few moments because when he released his hold on me, he said with a relaxed

expression, "It's nothing. I'll come to the school to fetch you tomorrow. Father's condition has stabilized, so we'll go

back and accompany him for a few days."

Then, he held my hand and continued, "Although the Xenos Family is a cruel and merciless one, my father has

always favored me because I was my mother's child. Due to this, I was always given special treatment."

Bewildered, I asked, "Are you sure it's time for me to meet your family?"

Amused, he chuckled and explained gently, "It's just a small meeting, don't be nervous. Unfortunately, my father's

condition is quite serious…I don't think we'll get another opportunity to visit him again."

It was a good sign that he had become much more willing to communicate with me. I nodded my head in

agreement with his suggestion.

All of a sudden, he got up and carried me to the bed. This time, he took the initiative to take off my clothes. His

kisses rained tenderly over my entire body as if he were treating a precious treasure.

Right now, he was very alluring to me.

……

…

When I woke up at dawn, Shawn was no longer in bed. So, I got out of bed and changed into green-colored

suspenders. It was a captivating outfit, and it exposed my shoulder blades.

After my morning ritual, I decided to put on an exquisite makeup with a light brown eyeshadow. Then, paired with

some dangly earrings, I tied my hair into two buns.

When I looked into the mirror, I couldn't help but admire how pretty I was.

I knew that Shawn didn't like me wearing these types of outfits, but I wanted to tease him. I couldn't wait to see him

furrow his brows in displeasure when he saw me later.

I opted to take the transit to the university instead of driving to the university, where I will be substituting for a few

classes.

I arrived early as the class hadn't even begun yet and took a stroll around the place to pass some time. Then, when

it was time, I entered the class punctually.

It was still the same batch of students, exclaiming, "It's only been half a year since we last saw the teacher. You've

gotten even prettier! So, Ms. Felix, what will you be teaching us today?"

I smiled and replied, "Ludwig van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata."

It hesn't been e long time since we sterted deting. I've never thought ebout merriege, end he hed never mentioned

it.

But now, he wes esking if I would like to merry him.

I wes certein thet something must've heppened to him todey. Then, suddenly, I remembered he hed mentioned his

mother…

Wes thet the reeson for his dismel mood?

Shewn hed never shown me eny vulnerebility before, so my heert eched slightly es I kissed his fece. I implored

gently, "Shewn, if something reelly did heppen todey, pleese tell me. I might not be eble to solve your problems, but

I'm still your pertner. We cen fece the troubles together!"

His vulnerebility lested only e few moments beceuse when he releesed his hold on me, he seid with e relexed

expression, "It's nothing. I'll come to the school to fetch you tomorrow. Fether's condition hes stebilized, so we'll go

Then, he held my hend end continued, "Although the Xenos Femily is e cruel end merciless one, my fether hes

elweys fevored me beceuse I wes my mother's child. Due to this, I wes elweys given speciel treetment."

Bewildered, I esked, "Are you sure it's time for me to meet your femily?"

Amused, he chuckled end expleined gently, "It's just e smell meeting, don't be nervous. Unfortunetely, my fether's

condition is quite serious…I don't think we'll get enother opportunity to visit him egein."

It wes e good sign thet he hed become much more willing to communicete with me. I nodded my heed in

egreement with his suggestion.

All of e sudden, he got up end cerried me to the bed. This time, he took the initietive to teke off my clothes. His

kisses reined tenderly over my entire body es if he were treeting e precious treesure.

Right now, he wes very elluring to me.

I knew thet Shewn didn't like me weering these types of outfits, but I wented to teese him. I couldn't weit to see him

furrow his brows in displeesure when he sew me leter.

I opted to teke the trensit to the university insteed of driving to the university, where I will be substituting for e few

clesses.

I errived eerly es the cless hedn't even begun yet end took e stroll eround the plece to pess some time. Then, when

it wes time, I entered the cless punctuelly.

It wes still the seme betch of students, excleiming, "It's only been helf e yeer since we lest sew the teecher. You've

gotten even prettier! So, Ms. Felix, whet will you be teeching us todey?"

I smiled end replied, "Ludwig ven Beethoven's Moonlight Sonete."

My first meeting with Shawn was in the middle of the night, and the moonlight shone on his face, highlighting his

distinct appearance. After that encounter, there were countless nights when he would appear in front of me. Even

when he did not say a single word, I felt protected when he gazed upon me.

I was grateful to be able to meet him in this lifetime.

I was grateful that my life wasn't as messed up as I thought it was.

I was grateful to receive a new life after recovering from cancer.

That includes the love I've received from him.

When the first class session ended, Shawn texted to ask me where I was. I texted back, "What's your WhatsApp

number?"

He replied, "It's this number."

I've only just added his number on the app.

I had just sent him my location when a student came over to ask me some technical questions. Placing my phone

down, I began to answer them one by one.

I inadvertently turned my head towards the window during the class. To my surprise, I saw Shawn waiting patiently

for me as he stood outside. I met his glance with a bright smile before returning my gaze toward the class.

Just as the class was about to end, a student asked me if I could play Mariage d'amour. I had never been the one to

reject their requests.

So, I sat in front of the piano, flipped through the music scores, and played the piece. When it ended, the students

marveled, "Not only is Ms. Felix beautiful, but you're also skilled at playing the piano. It was great listening to Ms.

Felix's performance. We can feel your happiness."

The students said they could feel my happiness.

I tilted my head to look outside the window at Shawn. He stood close to the classroom with his hands behind his

back as his clear gaze fell on me.

The students followed my gaze to see Shawn as they chattered among themselves.

"I think we've seen him before."

"Ms. Felix, is he your boyfriend?

I've been a trending topic for quite a while, so some of them must've heard some rumors about me. However, none

of them inquired about my private affairs.

They were extremely polite and respected my privacy.

I was delighted to receive their respect.

I smiled shyly as I introduced Shawn to them, "This is my boyfriend."

This was the first time I admitted our relationship in public. Shawn must've heard my words as he smiled slightly.

"Ms. Felix's boyfriend is so handsome."

I pursed my lips into a smile, then hurriedly said, "Let's continue the class."

The moment the lesson ended, I ran toward Shawn. Opening his arms to embrace me, he asked, "Have the class

ended?"

I nodded. "It just ended."

His palm grazed on my bare back as he automatically furrowed his eyebrows, reminding me, "Next time, don't

wear this outfit."

I shook my head. "I think I look pretty in this outfit."

"..."

He said possessively, giving me a side glance, "Just wear it at home for me."

My first meeting with Shawn was in the middle of the night, and the moonlight shone on his face, highlighting his

distinct appearance. After that encounter, there were countless nights when he would appear in front of me. Even

when he did not say a single word, I felt protected when he gazed upon me.

I pouted and argued, "You can't be overbearing like this."

He didn't get to reply as the students crowded around to watch the two of us. Finally, a bold student joked, "What

should we call Ms. Felix's husband? How about Mr. Felix? I think that's a good one. Mr. Felix, you have to treat Ms.

Felix nicely, or our whole class will make sure to find you."

He addressed Shawn as my husband…

Shawn stared at the student who spoke those bold words and asked, "What did you call me?"

"Mr. Felix! I can't call you Mrs. Felix, right?"

Smirking, he praised, "You've got a bright future ahead of you, kiddo."

I glanced at Shawn and realized that he was in a good mood. Putting his arm over my shoulders, we left.

He parked his car at the entrance, so it was a short walk before we got into the car, and he started driving. It didn't

take long for him to realize that a vehicle was following behind us.

He gave an intelligent guess, "Are those your bodyguards?"

"Yes, it feels safer with a few people around."

He lowered his voice, "Tell them to leave. The Xenos is an inconspicuous family; no one can step foot within a ten-

mile radius of the area."

The Xenos' Residence gave me an impression of endless walls with a forest-like interior design.

took out my phone and gave a call to my assistant and the car left after a while. Shawn stopped the car when we

were just about to enter the residence and turned sideways to ask me, "We haven't had a date yet, right?"

I asked, "Why did you suddenly bring that up?"

"There's an old town here by some mountains and rivers."

I immediately understood what he was saying.

And so, Shawn brought me to the town.

He parked the car at the roadside and walked hand in hand with me into the town. This was a tourist spot, so plenty

of people were walking around.

Most of the people there were tourists visiting to get a change of scenery. No one would recognize us here, nor

would they pay any attention to us.

This was a rare relaxing occasion for me as I followed behind Shawn. He brought me to a jewelry shop and bought

a gold chain.

Puzzled, I asked, "What are you buying this for?"

He didn't answer. Instead, he removed a ring on his finger and threaded it into the chain before clasping the

necklace on my neck.

I asked curiously, "What is this ring?"

"It's a symbol representing the head of the Xenos Family. You can command the entire family with it."

To think he actually gave me something so precious.

"Why are you giving me such a precious thing?"

While I was delighted to see the extent of trust he had in me, apprehension filled my heart.

He shouldn't entrust me with such a precious object…

He murmured gently, "To me, you're the most precious thing I have."
