Chapter 636 Our Daughter Looks Like You
That afternoon seemed to drag on forever, but it was bearable because having someone to chat with made it more
bearable. By the time evening approached, most of the people who came to pay their condolences had left. Only a
few members of the W Organization remained.
Shawn arrived late, but at least he made it. Otherwise, Aimes would surely throw a tantrum and give all of us a
hard time. Thinking about Aimes' temper, I could not help but feel sorry for Kevin. However, since he had chosen to
be with Aimes, he must be able to handle his temper. Maybe Kevin even found enjoyment in it!
When Shawn arrived, he walked straight up to me. The four of us were sitting in front of my room, each on a stool,
chatting and having snacks. When he approached, Umbrella stood up and greeted him, "Mr. Xenos!" Shawn
responded, "I haven't seen you in years."
Umbrella smiled and explained. "I've been living a low-profile life in a small country. My youngest daughter was born
just last month. If it weren't for Meredith's funeral, I might never have the chance to see you again."
Shawn nodded coldly as an acknowledgment. He then turned to me and asked, "Have you been waiting for a long
time? Wait here for two more minutes, and I'll take you home."
I obediently nodded, and Shawn left.
Kevin also left with him.
After Shawn left, Colin said, "Shawn acted as if I was transparent. Oh well, I'm leaving."
I asked while munching on the snacks, "Where are you going?"
"Nowhere in particular, just wandering around aimlessly. When I get tired of it, I'll go and find K. But there's no point
finding K. I envy Shawn."
I was puzzled and asked, "Why are you suddenly envious of him?"
"I also envy Umbrella. You guys have all settled down and started families. You guys are no longer alone, but I'm still
a wandering old soul!"
I corrected him. "That's not how you use the phrase 'wandering old soul.'"
Full of curiosity, Colin asked, "Did I use the phrase incorrectly?"
I made something up on the spot and said, "You're a lone warrior."
"That's indeed more interesting than being a wandering old soul."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUmbrella asked him with concern, "Don't you plan to settle down? You're already 37 years old. It's time to settle
down with a woman."
Colin was surprised and asked, "I'm 37?"
"Don't you remember how old you are?"
Colin sighed as he said, "I forgot. After all these years of ups and downs, how can I remember such details? Since
you say that I'm 37, then that's probably right. But am I really that old?"
Umbrella rolled his eyes at Colin and asked, "Don't you plan on getting married?"
Colin denied. "Marriage means no freedom. I don't plan on settling down, but I can find a woman to have a child."
Umbrella responded directly, "Forget about it. Don't harm any more girls. You've probably caused enough trouble
for countless girls over the years."
Colin sneered, "Will I be any worse than Robert?"
I became interested and asked, "Do you know Robert?"
Mentioning Robert reminded me of Petala.
She used to be known as Robina.
But she changed her name later.
Did she change her name to avoid Robert?
"We're all in the same social circle, so it's hard not to know each other. Robert is far worse than me. I don't care
about a woman's virginity, but Robert has a strong obsession with it. He only sleeps with virgins. Not just one, but
multiple at a time! And he never sleeps with the same woman again. When it comes to harming girls, he surpasses
me in every way!"
I was well aware of Robert's notorious behavior.
"Well, I'm leaving."
After that, Colin left.
Umbrella also bid farewell to me and left.
A few minutes later, Shawn came out of the main hall and came straight to my side. I stood up and asked, "Are we
going home?"
"Yes. I have to work overtime later."
I never disturb him when he was busy.
"Oh, is Kevin not leaving with us?"
Shawn said indifferently, "Don't worry about him."
I left with Shawn. In the car, he noticed that I was feeling down and put his arm around my shoulder, and I said, "I
know you've been bored these few days. After I deal with the matters here, we'll go back to Bryxton, and I'll spend
more time with you."
Shawn's voice was warm and gentle.
I shook my head. "It's not because I'm bored."
Shawn used his slender fingers to tidy up my messy hair and lightly brushed my cheek, asking, "What's the matter
then?"
"I want to help you. Can I join you at work tomorrow? I can help. Don't underestimate me, Shawn. I used to support
the Felix Family on my own. I can handle the tasks that you're doing."
Shawn smiled warmly and asked, "Are you that capable?"
"I have a good understanding of finance, management, and investments."
Shawn said, "You're indeed very capable."
"So, will you take me with you tomorrow?"
Shawn replied warmly, "Let me think about it."
Is there a need to think about it again?
"Do you think I'm flighty?"
Shawn replied, "Never."
"Oh."
"Ray, take care of the two children in the morning, and then come find me at the company in the afternoon. I'll
teach you how to be a manager, alright?"
After a pause, Shawn added, "A manager of the Xenos Family."
"Almost all the affairs are handled by Anthony." I covered my face.
"Yes, but you should have to understand what's going on as well," Shawn replied.
Confidently, I said, "I know how to be a manager."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I know you do. I'll just be sharing some of my experiences with you," he said.
I hugged Shawn's neck and kissed his cheek. "Don't spend too much time teaching me. I genuinely want to lessen
your burden."
Shawn's eyes flickered. "I don't want you to spend too much time on work. If you're willing to assist me, I'm more
than happy, but I don't want you to be tired because of me."
Shawn was worried that I would be tired.
I leaned on his shoulder. "I won't be tired."
He hugged me and suddenly said, "Witch."
His palm slowly rubbed against my lower back.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
His voice became husky. "Don't move. Let me hug you."
Shawn sent me back to the villa and was about to leave when I asked him in anticipation, "Stay and have dinner
with us. It's also nice to spend time with the children. I'll cook later. What do you want to eat tonight?"
Shawn was silent for a moment and then said, "Up to you."
He agreed to stay for dinner.
After he got out of the car, I linked my arm with his, and we walked back to the villa. Eins and Zwei came to greet
us. I took Skyler from the nanny's arms and handed him to Shawn. Shawn placed him in his embrace then took
River from the nanny's arms as he said, "You may leave. We'll take care of the children."
The two nannies went to the backyard. I did not see Eilam when I entered. He was probably in his room. I wanted to
call him downstairs, but I did not want to disturb him. I planned to call him when the meal is ready.
I went to the kitchen to cook while Shawn looked after the children in the living room. Occasionally, I stole glances
at them. He was not too affectionate with the children, but he was not cold either. River crawled by his feet,
playfully tugging at his pants with her tiny hands. He bent down slightly, seemingly observing her, while Skyler
happily played with his pacifier.
I averted my gaze and focused on cooking. When it was almost done, I heard Shawn suddenly say, "Our daughter
looks like you."
So he had been observing her?
