Chapter 276
In the end, while my mother survived, Robert got up to his feet and walked up to me, gazing at the older man with a
chuckle. "Well, I still have to host his funeral." For some reason, his smile and laughter sent chills down my spine.
Nevertheless, I reminded him of Alain's kindness. "He was once a part of your family, after all. He raised you, so
have a little kindness and gratitude, would you?"
Robert raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you saying I don't have any of those two?"
"Yes, I am. At least I don't think you have them."
Meanwhile, my phone in my handbag was still connected to a call from Shawn, which was the reason I was not
afraid of Robert at all. However, despite his psychopathic tendencies, I didn't think he wanted to hurt me because of
his love for my mother. After all, I was another person he cared about the most besides my mother. Because of
that, he kept my kidney by soaking them in some chemicals even though I couldn't stomach that kind of disgusting
behavior.
Upon hearing my words, Robert was seen with his face darkened as he looked outside the window for a few
moments. Then, he replied, "I can be kind, but only to those I care about. Ree, I hope you'll see eye to eye with me
one day, and when that happens, you'll understand me even better."
Understand you?! Without saying anything else, I walked up to my pale mother while questioning him, "Why did you
lie to me that my mother was…"
Robert pondered for a while. "I just wanted you to feel how it was like to lose someone you loved so that you'd care
about your mother more. Ree, your mother loves you dearly, and I hope you'll never forget that."
"I'm well aware of that," I answered coldly.
Soon, someone who seemed like a butler showed up and whispered something in Robert's ear. Then, he looked up,
announcing, "Shawn is here."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat's strange. He didn't hide that from me. At the thought of that, I pursed my lips subconsciously, only to hear
him say, "Go now. I'll inform you when Mother wants to see you."
"Can I stay with her?" I asked.
"Ree, she doesn't want you to be sad for her."
…
Not long after that, Robert sent someone to escort me away from the mansion. When I arrived at the palace, I saw
Shawn standing at the entrance with his arms folded, whereupon I immediately ran up to him and buried myself in
his arms. "My heart. It hurts." Deep down, I was heartbroken for my mother, but still, I was grateful enough to have
read that letter and understood her love.
Shawn stroked my head but didn't ask me about what had happened earlier. Soon, I buried myself in his arms,
refusing to leave as he brought me to the car with his arms around me. After getting into the car, I said, "The
reason Robert brought me all the way here was that he wanted to bring me closer to my mother." Guess what? He
did it. At least, I no longer hated or blamed that ill woman for what happened to me subsequently. Instead, I
thanked her for everything she had done for me.
Shawn asked with a gentle voice, "And? What happened in the end?"
"I finally felt the love from my mother."
"I see. By the way, what made you sick, Ray?"
Ew. Those kidneys… I told Shawn everything I went through, whereupon he responded with a glacial look and gave
me his word. "I'll take care of this matter for you."
"I just couldn't help but find them disgusting." I was overwhelmed by the disgusting feeling that surged at the
thought of what I saw back there.
In the meantime, Shawn continued to hug me in his arms, setting his gaze on my face with his eyes brightening up.
Suddenly, I felt his lips pressing against mine, rubbing it repeatedly, but I quickly shoved him away and murmured
to myself. "Not now." For some reason, he wasn't disgusted by me, not to mention the fact that Joseph and the
driver were also in the car. Because of that, I couldn't help but feel awkward about his behavior of kissing me in
public, although it was his first time kissing me in front of someone else.
Noticing my embarrassment, Shawn gently rubbed my cheek with his fingertips and smiled in amusement. "I
thought you were a thick-skinned little girl who wouldn't feel shy at all."
While I was speechless, Shawn looked down and planted his lips on mine once more. The next second, I wrapped
my arms around his neck and indulged myself in our passionate kiss as my fingers slowly moved down to his waist.
Feeling the warmth on my palms, Shawn cupped my face and pecked my forehead. "We'll continue our fun when
we get home." He spoke with a deep voice that was filled with desire, rendering me speechless at the same time.
As soon as Shawn let go of me, I was left alone to fight my inner urges with my will. However, I was able to put the
disgusting thought that was bothering me earlier behind my mind, thanks to him. At that moment, all I could think
of was Shawn, but a few moments later, I began to realize he had done that on purpose, to help me take my mind
off the troubling experience I just went through. Nevertheless, his method of helping me left me somewhat puzzled,
making me wonder if he had begun to learn how to seduce me. After all, he knew I had a soft spot for his good
looks and charm.
…
Instead of leaving France in a helicopter, we flew away in a private jet in which I was alone with Shawn in the huge
cabin. Besides the two of us, there was also a medium-sized bed that looked simply luxurious due to the silk bed
sheet. Upon entering the jet, I rinsed my mouth and rested in Shawn's arms while enjoying the beautiful view
outside the window. Despite the boring view, I was somewhat happy, thinking it was probably because Shawn was
by my side. Deep down, I reckoned I would always be happy as long as Shawn was by my side.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShawn fixed my hair around my ear with one hand while the other slipped underneath my shirt without me noticing
it. When he felt the gauze, I was immediately caught in a trance not long before I heard him ask, "What's this?"
"It's nothing." I gazed at him with a pale face.
"Are you hurt?" he asked.
"It's nothing serious." I lied, refusing to let him know my condition.
Meanwhile, Shawn raised his eyebrows and stared at me with his piercing gaze, as if he knew something and was
waiting for me to confess. The next second, I buried myself in his arms while trying to brush him off. "It was an
accident, okay? Just stop asking me about that, would you? You always get hurt as well, don't you? Speaking of that,
have you fully recovered from all of your wounds?"
As I changed the subject, Shawn didn't press on with his question but neither did he seem interested in talking with
me again. Thus, I kissed his chin and gently called out to him by his name, only to be criticized with a glacial gaze
on his face. "Where are your manners?"
Amused by Shawn's response, I pressed on with my mischief. "What is it to you when people call out to you by your
name? Every time I do that, you'd lecture me with a long face." When my question was met with his silence, I
pushed it further and added, "Shawn. Shawn. Shawn. Hello, Shawn. Shawn. Here I am, shouting your name. So,
what are you going to do about that? Do you know how handsome you are, Shawn?" Needless to say, my
playfulness left the man speechless.
Gazing at the man's darkened gaze, I looked up and kissed his eyes before pecking his forehead. "I love you so
much." While my words might have probably turned Shawn on, he suddenly carried me in his arms and put me on
the bed. Then, I stared at him sentimentally, asking, "Is this your way of saying you want my 'love'?" Despite saying
that, I knew I couldn't please him because I just had my surgical treatment not long ago. However, I was still
convinced that I could make him happy with some other alternative ways, such as a lovely cuddle and some kissing.
While it was obvious that Shawn's eyes were filled with overwhelming desire, I pinched his trouser legs with a smile
and said, "I'm going to make you…" I paused and got up, leaning on the man's body.
At the same time, I whispered in his ear and said, "Lose your mind."
