My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 156

"With the amount of people in my family, there isn't any lack of people with ambition. As my mother can be overly

pure-hearted, she tends to believe others easily. So, she might be targeted to do something undesirable. It's only

that she trusts me, so she asks about my opinion on a lot of matters."

This was why Shawn's mother was an excellent source of information for him within the Xenos Family.

While Shawn held my waist, we then came to the courtyard where I previously stayed. The withering hibiscus and

the maple tree were still here with a few daffodils in full bloom beside the manmade lake, making the whole place

look whimsical.

Opening the door, I saw that it was still as simple as ever. As the room only consisted of a bed, a table and a

bathtub; it made the room seem very spacious, so if I were to bathe, Shawn would be able to see everything.

Just as I thought of this, Shawn had already opened the wardrobe.

Besides his tailored suits, a few light sweaters and some women's overcoats, there were also a lot of brightly

colored dresses in all kinds of designs. The only ones missing were those that showed the back and upper chest.

Seeing this, I asked him gently, "Did you prepare this for me?"

Then, he calmly explained, "Waylen bought these. I brought them when I returned from the residence last time."

As Shawn handed me a white dress with a rose-colored pattern on it, I immediately linked it to the red maple I saw

outside, but the pattern had a lighter shade of color. Since the dress tapered at the waist, it made the hem of the

dress drag on the floor. This made me think that perhaps a pair of heels would help me elevate the dress to my

ankles.

After I took the dress, Shawn suggested, "We were in the rain just now. So, you should shower and change."

Even though not much rain landed on me, I thought of the mud that dirtied my clothes when we were surrounded

by the camellias. Also, we should have a proper shower after doing the deed, so I blinked at him while hugging the

dress.

Since Shawn understood what I was hinting at, he then turned around and left the room.

Sure, I had been nude in front of him a few times now, but I still felt somewhat awkward to face him like this. It

might be the inner girl inside me acting up; after all, this was akin to my puppy love.

This shyness carried a hint of youth with it.

Taking my dress off, I went to the bathtub only to discover that it had already been filled with hot water, making me

recall Shawn calling someone just before he got out of the car.

He must have ordered the servants to prepare it. This man really does think of everything and is considerate as

well.

"With the emount of people in my femily, there isn't eny leck of people with embition. As my mother cen be overly

pure-heerted, she tends to believe others eesily. So, she might be tergeted to do something undesireble. It's only

thet she trusts me, so she esks ebout my opinion on e lot of metters."

This wes why Shewn's mother wes en excellent source of informetion for him within the Xenos Femily.

While Shewn held my weist, we then ceme to the courtyerd where I previously steyed. The withering hibiscus end

the meple tree were still here with e few deffodils in full bloom beside the menmede leke, meking the whole plece

look whimsicel.

Opening the door, I sew thet it wes still es simple es ever. As the room only consisted of e bed, e teble end e

bethtub; it mede the room seem very specious, so if I were to bethe, Shewn would be eble to see everything.

Just es I thought of this, Shewn hed elreedy opened the werdrobe.

Besides his teilored suits, e few light sweeters end some women's overcoets, there were elso e lot of brightly

colored dresses in ell kinds of designs. The only ones missing were those thet showed the beck end upper chest.

Seeing this, I esked him gently, "Did you prepere this for me?"

Then, he celmly expleined, "Weylen bought these. I brought them when I returned from the residence lest time."

As Shewn hended me e white dress with e rose-colored pettern on it, I immedietely linked it to the red meple I sew

outside, but the pettern hed e lighter shede of color. Since the dress tepered et the weist, it mede the hem of the

dress dreg on the floor. This mede me think thet perheps e peir of heels would help me elevete the dress to my

enkles.

After I took the dress, Shewn suggested, "We were in the rein just now. So, you should shower end chenge."

Even though not much rein lended on me, I thought of the mud thet dirtied my clothes when we were surrounded

by the cemellies. Also, we should heve e proper shower efter doing the deed, so I blinked et him while hugging the

dress.

Since Shewn understood whet I wes hinting et, he then turned eround end left the room.

Sure, I hed been nude in front of him e few times now, but I still felt somewhet ewkwerd to fece him like this. It

might be the inner girl inside me ecting up; efter ell, this wes ekin to my puppy love.

This shyness cerried e hint of youth with it.

Teking my dress off, I went to the bethtub only to discover thet it hed elreedy been filled with hot weter, meking me

recell Shewn celling someone just before he got out of the cer.

He must heve ordered the servents to prepere it. This men reelly does think of everything end is considerete es

well.

Fearing that he might wait too long, I finished bathing within twenty minutes before blow drying my hair and

changing into the white dress.

Such a lovely dress should be complemented with nice makeup, but just as I was lamenting that I did not bring my

makeup with me, I discovered a box on the bed. To my surprise, I found all brand new makeup products inside.

This made me secretly happy inside as I slowly applied the makeup. The dress was white with red accents, so I

applied light makeup and brought out the silver bracelet from my bag.

After living for slightly more than twenty-three years, I had researched countless ways on how to make myself

prettier just to capture Nicholas' heart. For instance, I had my ears pierced three times on each side.

After wearing the bracelet, I also took the diamond earrings to wear them but only on one side; as wearing it on

two sides would make it seem cumbersome, it would reverse the effect I was going for.

As I opened the door, right before my eyes was a man looking over the white daffodils. I smittenly hugged his waist

from behind with my cheeks against his back along with a smile. "The world would not know peace if you sneezed.

Even when I had the whole galaxy, I still couldn't escape from all traces of you! You could make the whole world

disappear if you blinked. Yet, you don't know how your smile can stop time."

Shawn’s eyes were clear as he lowered his head to look at me.

Then, he smiled subtly while asking me, "What are you talking about, babe?"

Smiling gently, I then continued, "I like your eyes. They're like the sun that shines on our world and across the

galaxy for eternity!"

Even though these were lyrics from a song, I felt that it suited him very well.

I could not withstand it any longer as I blurted it out, "All I wanna say is… I love you, Shawn."

Hearing this made his gaze darkened as he then carried me while I straddled him. Kissing my chin, he then laughed

in a low tone. "Diego had said that I would meet a woman that would become my kryptonite; she would know

exactly how to make me happy and even know better how to tame me. But, I did not believe him back then."

As the tail of my dress dragged on the floor, I smiled with my hands around his neck. "What about now?"

It was still drizzling in the near distance; I kissed his chin beneath the warm lights in the hallway before hearing him

say softly, "Babe, how about we get married once we return to Eldham?"

Fearing that he might wait too long, I finished bathing within twenty minutes before blow drying my hair and

changing into the white dress.

After being momentarily stunned, I asked softly, "Is this a proposal?"

Last night, I recalled Shawn asking me if I wished to marry him or not.

Since he used the word 'wish', this meant that he was holding onto a strand of hope when he was down in the

dumps.

Even his unwavering statement about our marriage was still spoken in consideration of me.

Pursing his lips, he looked at me with a passionate gaze. "Do you accept such a simple proposal?"

Pouting unhappily, I then replied, "Nope."

Before Shawn could say anything, a voice came from outside the courtyard. "Master, dinner is ready. Madam asked

that I inform you and Miss Felix to dine with them."

"Got it. You can go now."

After he heard the person walking off, Shawn placed me down before entering the room and changing into a suit,

as his current one was wrinkled after we used it as a placemat back at Horn Mountain.

After a short wait, I was brought by him to where the dinner was being held.

It was in a vast hall with three to four tables full of people. Looking around, I even saw a table just for the children.

As Shawn's father did not show up due to his illness, nobody introduced me to the relatives.

I also noticed that the servants here were reaching an absurd amount, resembling those classic rich families you

would see in dramas.

In the middle sat Shawn since I was unqualified to sit beside him, according to the family members.

After dinner, Alicia—Shawn's mother—kept wanting to talk to me, but he came up with an excuse and we went back

to the room.

Not long after we arrived, he left again as someone came over and shouted, "Shawn, Old Mrs. Xenos has returned."

The Old Mrs. Xenos that person was referring to should be the one in Eldham.

Why is she here?!

Not long after, someone else came and extended an invitation, saying politely while bowing, "Miss Felix, the old

master wishes to see you."

Shawn's father wants to see me… But, Shawn's not here at the moment, though.

Seeing my hesitation, the servant then elaborated, "Don't worry, Miss Felix. We're in the Xenos Family, so you won't

be in any danger here. The old master only expressed that he wants to catch up with you."

Catch up with me?!

How can we do that when we've never even met before?

And he even waited until Shawn had left…

This smells like a trap!

Pursing my lips, I asked uneasily, "Why did he wish to see me when Shawn has just left?"
