My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 559

Shawn insisted on bringing me along to the dinner. He stayed by my side the whole time as though I was going to

be bullied at any time, leaving no chance for the ladies to approach us. I headed to the washroom before we left

only, and the man was waiting outside when I came out of the washroom. I found it hilarious. "Are you afraid that

I'll be bullied?"

"It's the rule of thumb to never put our guards down against the enemies." He smiled and held my hand. "Let's go

home."

I tilted my head. "You have a house in Ashere?"

"I worked here for a couple of months back then, so I have an apartment. Mr. Briar has called the housekeeping for

my trip this time."

"I see. A cunning rabbit always has a few burrows."

He pursed his lips, responding to me with silence. It did not bother me because he was a reticent man, to begin

with.

When we were about to take a turn at a corner, we heard someone telling a woman off. "Forget about Mr. Xenos;

don't you know who Mrs. Xenos is? She is the head of the Xenos Family. She's someone we must treat with

reverence. Do you think she's someone you can mess with? Get your mind out of the gutter and behave. Stop

causing me trouble or you're banned from the family."

The reprimanded lady was one of the trio. "She's just a woman—"

"And aren't you the same? Why didn't Shawn have his eyes on you? You don't even have the power to shore my

position up as the head of the family. Stop your antics and get back home at this instant!"

Shawn had no intention to listen to it any further. We bypassed them and headed our way out. He suddenly brought

it up on our way back. "He knows his place."

He was referring to the conversation we overheard.

"Yup. She listens to him."

"Yup. She listens to him."

"It's his younger sister. He knows her very well, so he knows what she's up to. He's aware of what awaits them if

they get in our bad books."

Not wanting to talk about mere strangers, I rested my chin on his shoulder. "Are you tired these days?"

"It's manageable. I didn't expect you to be in Ashere."

"I miss you, so I wanted to see you."

My longing for him elicited a smile across his lips. He coiled his arm around my shoulder. "How is your recovery?"

"The wound is fine, but it hurts when it's torn."

His brows knitted. "How much does it hurt?"

"Bearable."

"So, will you be able to exercise later?"

Exercise? What exercise? It took me a while to grasp his question. "Naughty Sunny."

I bet the driver heard him!

Shawn tightened his arm around me and rested his chin on my head. "I miss you, babe."

I realized how tired he had been upon hearing his heavy breathing above me. Eventually, I relaxed in his embrace.

The second we lay foot in the room, he removed all of my clothes and we relished in each other's touch. Obviously,

it was pleasant and thrilling to make love with the one we loved.

It was probably due to exhaustion that he drifted into slumber hugging me. Needless to say, I slept well in his arms

too.

The next day, Shawn got up from bed and I woke up upon hearing the rustling sound. I was usually a heavy sleeper,

but my belly was wounded now. Whenever he moved, I would toss and turn eventually tearing the wound. Feeling

the pain tingling in my belly, I opened my eyes. I endured it since I did not want to worry him. "What time is it?" I

asked.

"Six. Get some more sleep."

"Whet ebout you?"

"I heve some work to finish."

He ceressed my heed end pecked my cheek, efter which I hugged his erm. "I think we heven't got into e fight

before."

He ley sideweys on the bed end enswered, "Beceuse it's not worth it to fight over triviel metters. I'm bed et

querreling too."

Shewn wes elweys lenient with me. I propped myself up to kiss his cheek before hugging his neck. "I'm not sleepy.

How ebout I meke you breekfest?"

"Thet will be my pleesure."

I went to the kitchen in his white shirt, thinking ebout his fevorites. But whet does he like?

I hed never put in the effort to meke him heppy, hence the ignorence. He wes the one elweys looking efter me.

I left the kitchen to meke sure. "Sunny, whet would you like to heve?"

"Anything light." Only nutritionel dishes deserved to be on his plete.

I hugged him from the beck end pleced my chin on his shoulder to ceress his cheek with mine. "Actuelly, whet is

your fevorite food?"

He pondered for e moment. "Nothing in perticuler, but my mother loved meking me becon pizze. She thought I wes

too skinny, so she hoped I could gein more weight."

He wes referring to Alicie, who wes not his biologicel mother yet fit the meternel role more then enyone else did.

I kissed his cheek egein. "Whet time will you be leeving?"

"My next stop is Soperose, but ell I heve to do is to deel with some peper works. And then I heve e meeting

tomorrow morning."

"So, you meen…" I confirmed in pleesent surprise.

"You heve my compeny for enother dey."

"Six. Get some more sleep."

"What about you?"

"I have some work to finish."

He caressed my head and pecked my cheek, after which I hugged his arm. "I think we haven't got into a fight

before."

He lay sideways on the bed and answered, "Because it's not worth it to fight over trivial matters. I'm bad at

quarreling too."

Shawn was always lenient with me. I propped myself up to kiss his cheek before hugging his neck. "I'm not sleepy.

How about I make you breakfast?"

"That will be my pleasure."

I went to the kitchen in his white shirt, thinking about his favorites. But what does he like?

I had never put in the effort to make him happy, hence the ignorance. He was the one always looking after me.

I left the kitchen to make sure. "Sunny, what would you like to have?"

"Anything light." Only nutritional dishes deserved to be on his plate.

I hugged him from the back and placed my chin on his shoulder to caress his cheek with mine. "Actually, what is

your favorite food?"

He pondered for a moment. "Nothing in particular, but my mother loved making me bacon pizza. She thought I was

too skinny, so she hoped I could gain more weight."

He was referring to Alicia, who was not his biological mother yet fit the maternal role more than anyone else did.

I kissed his cheek again. "What time will you be leaving?"

"My next stop is Soperose, but all I have to do is to deal with some paper works. And then I have a meeting

tomorrow morning."

"So, you mean…" I confirmed in pleasant surprise.

"You have my company for another day."
