My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 637 Shawn Was Exhausted

"Of course. She’s my child."

I spoke with pride. Shawn curved his lips and played along. "Yes. Leo is as beautiful as Ray."

"You only know how to say flattering things to please me."

He assured me, "I'm not lying though."

"You said my face was chubby in the afternoon."

I could not get past this issue.

Shawn looked at me in confusion when he heard me. "Are you upset about it?"

"No girls liked to be called chubby."

It suddenly dawned on Shawn. "Ah, I see."

I blinked and said, "I won't look good if I'm chubby."

"Why not? You're too skinny. You need to put on some weight."

The man's voice was so gentle, like a spring breeze.

"Never mind. I don't want to dwell on this. I'll go upstairs and call Eilam for dinner. After we're done, let's take a

walk."

Shawn picked up River from the ground and said, "Okay."

I turned around and went upstairs to call Eilam to have dinner. At that time, he was doing his homework. I stood

beside him and asked, "What are you doing?"

He explained, "The assignments I've fallen behind on these past few years."

I asked with concern, "Can you understand them?"

"The teacher will teach me. It's not difficult."

I praised him with a smile. "You're really smart."

Eilam shook his head, and I put my hands on his shoulder and said, "Let's go downstairs to eat first, and then you

can do your homework later."

"It's already half past nine. I had dinner at seven."

There was a housekeeper in the villa who was in charge of cooking, and I suddenly realized. "I forgot about the

time. Do you want to eat more?"

Eilam shook his head and said, "I'll get on with homework and then go to bed."

"Okay, have a good rest."

I went downstairs and told Shawn, "Eilam has already eaten."

Shawn nodded. "I've already eaten too."

I rubbed my forehead. "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"You haven't eaten yet. I'll sit with you."

"Please eat a little too."

In the end, Shawn came over and sat down to eat with me. After we finished eating, he accompanied me for a

walk. It was not until ten o'clock that he left to go to work.

That night, he did not come home. When I woke up the next morning, he sent me a message. 'I slept at the

company last night.'

He knew very well how to report his whereabouts now.

I replied. 'I'll come find you this afternoon.'

After sending the message, I changed my clothes and went downstairs. The nannies were playing with the children

in the living room. I went over to ask them, "How are Skyler's and River's sleep quality these days?"

"Little Master and Little Lady sleep for about ten hours at night and take a one- or two-hour nap during the day.

Little Lady seems to sleep more soundly," one of the nannies replied.

I squatted down and hugged River. "I've noticed they can stand and walk a few steps on their own now, and they

can take toys out and put them back. Have you guys been teaching them any new words?"

"They will be one year old in less than half a month. One-year-old babies will gradually learn to walk and their

vocabulary will expand. They will become attached to you, Mrs. Xenos," another nanny answered.

I said with a hint of excitement, "They are growing up."

Our children, mine and Shawn's, were slowly growing.

My heart was filled with warmth and a sense of fulfillment.

I kissed River on the cheek and thought that I need to plan their first birthday celebration well. It was the only

joyous occasion I've ever celebrated with Shawn. I would definitely invite many friends and relatives!

However, I was not sure whether to hold it in Finland or Bryxton.

I was also not sure if Shawn can finish his work in half a month. If he could not finish it soon, his health will definitely

be affected!

Shawn needed a long break after this!

At the thought of this, I felt bad for Shawn.

I gently put River down and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Lately, I had been so diligent mainly because

of Eilam. He was my child now, and I would definitely take care of him whenever I had the time.

When Eilam finished eating, I played with the twins. Around noon, Emma contacted me and said, "Shawn fainted."

My heart tightened in anxiousness. "What happened?"

"His injury relapsed, and he's not getting enough rest."

I hurriedly rushed to the hospital. Shawn was still unconscious when I arrived, and his face was unusually pale. I

stood at the door while the doctor explained to me. "Mrs. Xenos, Mr. Xenos' injury is still severe. He should not be

too busy with his job. Please advise him to have more rest when he wakes up."

Tears filled my eyes as I thanked the doctor.

My heart ached for Shawn. I went into the ward and sat by his side. "You need to rest more," I said gently.

He could not hear me.

Half an hour later, Shawn woke up. He looked at me with confusion in his eyes, then closed them again. "I'm sorry

for making you worried," he said weakly.

I held his cold hand tightly and said in a gentle tone, "The doctor said you need to rest more. You can't keep pushing

yourself so hard."

I understood that Shawn was dealing with a lot of things right now, so I said, "Once your injuries heal, you can push

yourself again. Be obedient and rest for the next few days."

He agreed. "Yeah, I'll work from home for the next few days."

I asked him curiously, "Doesn't your company have a vice president? Why do you have to do everything by

yourself? If there's something urgent and you need to take a break, is there no one to help you out?"

Shawn smiled and asked, "Do you mean Kevin?"

"Kev is the vice president of the company?"

"Yeah, but the tasks I'm currently handling are outside of his expertise. It's only after I get this done that I might

actually have some free time."

"Well, considering your current condition… you need to rest for a few days. If you have anything you need to do,

teach me. I'll do it for you while you supervise me."

Shawn smiled brightly and said, "Okay, you can do it for me."

I felt relieved when he agreed. I lowered my head and rested my head on his shoulder, saying, "I'll feel bad for you

if you keep doing this, Shawn. I hope your life is not just full of work, but also enjoyment. You deserve to relax and

enjoy the good things around you."

Shawn raised his hand to gently rub my hair and said, "Don't worry too much. It's just that I've been busy lately, plus

I'm injured..."

He stopped talking, and I nodded in understanding.

Shawn spent two more hours at the hospital before instructing Waylen to take him home. We got home at three in

the afternoon.

Once we were back home, Shawn stayed in his room the whole time. I prepared some light meals and brought

them upstairs. After he finished eating, I carried the dishes downstairs and saw Kevin sitting in the living room.

I asked him, "Aren't you busy?"

Kevin explained. "The company has been on the right track, so I'm not too busy. However, I'm still quite busy, just

not as busy as Shawn. He's been pushing his limits the past two weeks in order to get back to Bryxton earlier."

I asked shockingly, "Why does he want to get back to Bryxton earlier?"

"Skyler and Leo's birthdays are coming up, and you have many relatives and friends in Bryxton. He wants to host a

first-year birthday celebration for them in Bryxton."

After speaking, Kevin sighed and said, "Although Shawn doesn't talk much, he keeps many things in mind and takes

action. It's just that he's pushing himself too hard. I hope he can have a good rest after this. He should be done with

the matters in Espoo soon!"

Shawn was a man of actions rather than words.

Hearing what Kevin said, I felt even worse for Shawn.

I asked with concern, "When will he be done with his work?"

"He's almost done. Emma's team has launched the software development, and she's been working on refining it

during this time. The systems set up by Shawn are also being implemented. Once everything is on track, it'll be

done!"

Kevin pointed to a stack of documents on the table and said, "I'm leaving. I'm just running errands for Mr. Briar to

deliver the documents to Shawn."

I guessed and asked, "Are you trying to skip work?"

"Hey, Shawn is not feeling well now. How can I continue to be carefree? By the way, Ciara has arrived in Espoo.

Emma invited her."

"Does Diego know about it?"
