My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 705

Chapter 705 I Love You More Than You Know

Apart from Kevin, there was probably no one else who dared to make jokes during this occasion. I saw the cold and stern expression on Shawn's face as if he was considering how to punish Kevin.

"Ree is beautiful, and of course, Sunny isn't solely attracted to her appearance. He loves everything about her, including her past, her future, her strengths, and even her weaknesses. He loves everything about her with his life, and because of that, we vow to protect her with our lives as well. Today, I'd like to congratulate the two of them."

Kevin's constant use of my nickname made my heart flutter. I smiled and noticed Nicholas looking calm and composed while fixating his gaze on me. When I looked away, I heard Kevin say, "Now, let's invite Sunny to say a few words."

Shawn calmly went up on stage, and I tagged behind him. Behind me were Waylen and Gary who carried our two children in their arms.

Once we stood properly beside him, Shawn bent over slightly and spoke into the microphone. "I am Shawn Xenos, the father of Skyler and River Xenos, and the husband of Renee Felix."

His self-introduction was unique.

The father of my children; the husband of my wife.

I looked at the man beside me lovingly. I could see his handsome profile and hear his calm and pleasant voice as he delivered his speech. "Personally, I have never been fond of social events, so I have never asked for anyone at home to hold a party for me, but today is different. It is my children's first birthday celebration, so I'd like to introduce them to everyone and also to give my wife a small surprise. I am utterly grateful that I met her two years ago. I am grateful that she chose to marry me,

and I am even more grateful for the two children she courageously brought into my life, as well as the stepson she gave me."

At the mention of his stepson, he pointed below. "Eilam."

The spotlight shone on the direction he pointed, revealing Eilam to everyone. "Come here," Shawn invited him on stage with a deep voice.

Shocked and slightly anxious, Eilam went up on stage.

Shawn placed his hands on the young boy's shoulders and introduced him to the audience. "He was once the abandoned child of the Yonder Family in Rothfield. Now, he has been adopted by our family and will be regarded as my eldest son from now on."

With that, Eilam became known to everyone present because Shawn publicly acknowledged his identity.

After the introductions, he handed the microphone to me. I looked at the guests present below— Nicholas, Christopher, Emma, May, Ian, Merlin, Kevin, James, Aria, Olivia, Robert, Clair, Florence, Alicia, my parents, Troy, Amy, Aimes, and many others...

There were too many of them, all of whom knew about my past and understood how I went from being the president of Felix Corporation to Nicholas Forger's wife, then to the president of Xenos Solutions, and finally to Shawn Xenos' wife.

"I am Renee Felix, formerly the president of Felix Corporation who later became the president of Xenos Solutions. I'd say my life has been miserable but also fortunate. I have always been surrounded by luck, and I've always managed to find a glimmer of hope in desperate moments. In other words, I was always able to turn the tide, but if I were to pinpoint the luckiest encounter in my life, then it should be

meeting Shawn Xenos. No. 'Should' is not the right word. The luckiest encounter in my life is meeting Shawn Xenos..."

The crowd witnessed my past, including the cold and indifferent Nicholas as well as the gentle and elegant Christopher.

"I met Shawn at the most desperate time in my life. I had cancer and was betrayed by love. Although it doesn't sound appropriate to mention these things now, I want to express my feelings when I met him... He is a brilliant and dazzling star in my life."

Kevin teased from below, "Are you showing off the love of your life right now?"

I smiled slightly as I turned to the man beside me, who remained silent as he stared at me. "He reignited my withered life. He showed me what love could feel like. It could feel like being protected, being indulged, and being trusted…"

Tears streamed down my face as I held his hand and continued, "Thank you for appearing in my life. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for taking care of me for the past two years. Shawn, I want to say..."

Shawn nodded at me while I tearfully confessed, "I love you more than you'll ever know."

I said the same thing to express my feelings when we were engaged.

This time, I repeated the same sentence to express my feelings once again.

Applause filled the room.

I knew that less than half of them were genuinely congratulating me.

Everyone had their ulterior motives, but I wanted to say these words to Shawn because I wanted him to know my feelings.

Shawn's lips curled slightly upward. "Thank you, Myra."

When I met him, I told him my name was Myra Felix.

Every day in the future, I would be Myra to him.

I was never Renee Felix to him.

I had always been Myra.

When we first met, I introduced myself as 'Myra Felix.'

Hence, when he named our child, he gave her the name, River, which carried a similar meaning to my name.

After that, he led me off the stage. The performances officially began once we were off stage, while my performance with the girls was scheduled to be in the middle after Troy's performance.

Emma sent a message in the group chat, 'Let's gather later.'

Shawn, who had left the party with the two children, returned to the villa, while Eilam obediently tagged along. Watching them together, I felt relieved and asked Gary to accompany me to Alicia's villa. Charles was right. I was the head of the Xenos Family, so it was necessary for me to meet my father's concubines. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

When I entered the villa, I noticed the concubines sitting in the living room having some nuts. There were five of them in total, all wearing glittering Gibson dresses of different colors paired with retro hairstyles.

I politely greeted them, "It's nice to meet all of you."

They stood up when they saw me, and Alicia nodded at me before leaving, intentionally trying to give us some alone time. I invited them to sit down, saying, "Please have a seat, ladies."

Anna Xenos was also present. She was the one who once slapped me, and she was also Kiara Xenos' aunt.

I turned to Anna and inquired, "How have you been, Aunt Anna? I haven't heard from you since you left the family. I wonder how you've been doing lately. Charles said he gave you and your family a large sum of money to ensure your livelihood."

"We have enough to get by," she replied awkwardly.

Another aunt chimed in, "We have a favor to ask of you, Renee."

"And you are?" I asked.

"I am Jessica Xenos, the mother of your big brother. This is Julia Xenos, the mother of your second brother, and this is Yasmin Xenos, the mother of your third brother."

I nodded and replied, "Shawn's mother invited you here to resolve the hatred from the past. What are your thoughts on this?"

Jessica spoke first. "Impossible! If blood feuds could be resolved, wouldn't your three elder brothers have died in vain? You are the head of the family now, so it should be your responsibility to resolve the family's hatred."

She instantly threw the responsibility at me as if I was the one carrying the resentment.

Smiling at her in response, I deliberately slowed down my tone as I inquired, "What am I to Shawn now?"
