My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 694

Chapter 694 Taking Advantage of the Situation?

"Of course. You are the children's grandmother."

Alicia thought for a moment and then rejected her own suggestion. "Forget it, I heard that there will be many people I don't know at the airport. I will feel uncomfortable there. You go and pick them up. I'll wait for you at home."

I opened my mouth, unsure of how to respond.

Fortunately, Shawn spoke before me. "I know you don't like dealing with strangers. You can wait for us at home."

"Okay. Do I need to do anything?"

Shawn replied, "It's alright."

After finishing my meal, I went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Shawn and Alicia were chatting in the living room, with Alicia asking most of the questions and Shawn answering.

Alicia accompanied Shawn for a while in the living room before leaving and going back to her own villa. When I was done washing the dishes, I went out to join him.

Seeing that there were only the two of us now, Shawn affectionately rubbed my cheek and complained, "I haven't seen you all day."

"I made dessert and went to the company."

Shawn asked, "Where is the dessert?"

His profile was sharp. I couldn't help but kiss his cheek. "I brought it to the company and shared it with the employees."

"Oh."

What did "oh" even mean?!

"When should we go to the airport?"

Shawn replied, "It's still early."

"Do we need to buy flowers?"

He replied indifferently, "No need."

"Why are you suddenly so cold, Sunny?"

Shawn frowned. "Cold?"

I nodded. "You hardly say anything."

"Have I ever been talkative?" he deadpanned.

I didn't say anything at that.

Shawn then continued to read the book in his hand. I noticed that his favorite things to do besides work were calligraphy and reading.

It was indeed a boring hobby.

I remembered when I first met him.

He was quite traditional and stubborn.

But a man with such a personality was rare in this restless society. I probably loved him for his character. His current appearance reminded me of the past him.

"Keep acting like an ice queen, you."

I squinted and smiled before I went upstairs to change clothes.

I changed into something comfortable for carrying the children.

When I came downstairs, I didn't see Shawn in the living room. I went out to the garden and saw him standing by the lotus pond. Walking over, I linked my arm around his and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at, Sunny?"

"You can keep some goldfish in the lotus pond."

"Yes, let Mr. Briar buy some tomorrow and put them in the lotus pond. The main venue for the first birthday party will be here, so we need to decorate it tomorrow."

All the lights in the villa were on, and there were light strings on the eaves. It was brightly lit everywhere. Shawn thought for a moment and suggested, "Let's bring two parasols here later."

"But there is already a parasol in the garden."

"Place them here on the day of the first birthday party. When the children are a little older, they can model it into a treehouse. Kevin mentioned some time ago that Leo is a girl. He said that girls like having their private spaces."

Really, Kevin taught Shawn everything.

Instead of saying that Kevin taught him, he was subtly influencing him.

He made Shawn aware that girls liked this.

Now that Shawn knew, Shawn would do it.

I suddenly sighed. "We should thank Kev when we have the chance."

Hearing that, Shawn asked in confusion, "Why?"

"It's nothing! I just find it hard to believe sometimes. I feel that your pace of life has slowed down since you stopped working. You have more time to spend with me every day. You also have more time to spend with the two children."

Shawn caressed my head and apologized, "I'm sorry."

I asked in surprise, "Why are you suddenly apologizing?"

"I haven't had much time to spend with you these past two years, especially during the time you were pregnant... Those must have been the most painful days of your life. Babe, I am fortunate to be able to love you in this lifetime."

Tears welled up in my eyes as I choked, "Are you confessing?"

He suddenly reached out and pulled me into his strong chest. In a warm voice, he whispered, "I'm not a man who sweet talks. I only said many of the things I said after being reminded by others... Ray, it will be the children's first birthday party in a few days, and yet, I still haven't gotten used to having two little ones who share my blood in this world. I will do everything I can to protect you and them."

I had tears all over my face as I cried out, "Shawn..."

To me, this was happiness.

Having him and two children.

The four of us made up a family.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

This was my happiness.

Right, I almost forgot about Eilam.

"Sunny, the children and I will also protect you."

"Mhm." He hugged me. "Let's go to the airport."

After arriving at the airport, Shawn didn't want to go inside. He told me, "Kevin is too noisy. I'll have Waylen accompany you."

Shawn still disliked crowded places.

Waylen then took me into the airport, and we waited for about an hour before the plane the children were in landed.

It took about 20 minutes for them to come out of the airport.

The first person I saw was Emma.

She actually cut her hair short!

She even dyed it a light blonde color.

I couldn't help exclaiming, "She looks so cute!"

I waved and called out, "Darling Emma!"

Seeing me, Emma came over and hugged me, asking, "Do I look pretty?"

"You look beautiful. You're super adorable!"

As Kevin held Skyler, Ian held River while Serene stood beside Ian. I politely greeted Serene, "Welcome, Mrs. Zeller... or should I call you sister-in-law?"

"Whatever you prefer; it's just a title."

This was said by the cheeky Ian.

I took River from his arms and smiled. "Then let's go with Serene. You don't have to call me your sister- in-law, but of course, I welcome you to call me that privately! Kev, where's Eilam?"

"He is at the back. He probably went to the bathroom."

A few minutes later, I saw Eilam, who was late. He was followed by Seth. Eilam came over with his luggage and stood obediently by my side. As I patted his head, I said to everyone, "Let's split up here. I'll take the children home to rest. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow. Are you coming to my house, Kev?"

Kevin didn't have a home in Bryxton.

His gaze flickered at my question. "I bought an apartment in Bryxton before. I'll go to my own apartment."

Emma whispered in my ear then, "Aimes is behind."

I thought he didn't come with Eilam and the others since I didn't see him just now. It turned out that he was hiding at the back by himself.

"Cool. I'll go home first, then."

Ian suddenly asked me, "Why don't you ask me, Ree?"

"Oh, yeah, you don't have a place to stay in Bryxton. You and Serene can come to my house. As for Diego and Ciara... You two figure it out yourselves. Ian, can you hold Skyler from Kev for me? We'll go to the parking lot. Sunny is waiting for us there."

Emma hooked her arm around Christopher's and exclaimed, "See you tomorrow!"

After the group broke up, we went to the parking lot. We were using a longer model of a Lincoln since we needed to pick someone up. It comfortably accommodated the six of us—Ian, Serene, Eilam, Waylen, Shawn, and myself. The bodyguard took another car.

While holding Skyler, Ian mentioned, "You didn't even pick me up, Shawn."

Shawn only quietly glanced at him.

"Here. Your son." Ian spoke again.

He was about to give Shawn the baby in his arms, but Skyler suddenly threw up milk all over Ian. As Ian's expression changed drastically, Shawn quickly turned his head, pretending not to see anything. Waylen was the one who took Skyler from Ian's arms and wiped him off. Ian's eyebrows pulled into a tight frown as he grumbled, "Shawn, your son just hurled milk all over me."

"I'll compensate you for the cost of the clothes," Shawn calmly replied.

Ian wiped the milk off his body with a tissue. "That's not enough."

Hearing that, Shawn kept his cool and asked, "Are you taking advantage of the situation?"
