Chapter 204
I did not seed in taking him, for I copsed in his embrace while wrapping my arms around his
waist. However, he did not push me away and let me be instead. Disying an astonishing level of
self-control, he drove us back to the apartment eventually.
The shbacks fromst night embarrassed me greatly and my cheeks were burning as I struggled to
face the truth. No, things have gone the wrong way! We should not have ended up in this way. Drinking
does lead to mistakes…
Moreover, I had never taken the initiative with Shawn, even though we were fully dressedst night. We
rarely made love to each other, and the few times we did, he never tried any outrageous positions. But
now…
I had tried to hold myself together, but I fell apart after learning about the happenings fromst night.
With much sadness, I wandered out of the room like a ghost.
Meanwhile, he stood in front of the French windows and was currently on a call. Since his back was
turned on me, I decided to sneak out of the apartment.
Catching the sounds of my movements, he turned around and frowned in frustration. He asked dully,
"Where are you going?" His unfriendly look unlocked the fear in me. It felt like going back to the
beginning of our rtionship.
I mumbled, "I''m meeting Emma."
"She went to Bryxtonst night."
"Oh. I''ll visit her in Bryxton, then."
He put his phone away and walked toward me, sighing. "Until when do you n to hide from me?"
I looked at the floor in silence.
Eventually, he gave in and ordered me, "It''s raining in Bryxton. You should change before you go."
I was still dressed in the ck camisole from yesterday. It suddenly urred to me that the
conservative Shawn could not tolerate seeing me in such an outfit.
The more he ordered me to change, the more I refused to.
Ignoring him, I attempted to leave without changing at all. Suddenly, he held my wrist and dragged me
into his arms. After staring at me with his deep eyes for a while, he touched my t belly with his cold
palm.
I fought to resist his flirting as I looked at him in a daze. Subsequently, his smoky voice rang in my ears.
"Since when have you be a bad girl? Hmm, Ray?"
His tone went up slightly at my name, which was too much for my heart. Blushing deeply, I replied, "Let
me go now!"
Of course, he did not as he held me up in his arms instead. With my legs dangling, I reflexively
wrapped them around his waist while holding onto his neck. Then, he looked up at me with a pair of
clear eyes.
I could not help but stare down at this handsome man. His features were well-defined, like a deity who
visited earth. That was my impression of him—out of this world. He seemed to be standing from a
higher point, dispassionately surveying the life on earth as if nothing would pique his interest.
Even when I had ruined matters and lied to him, he never once grumbled about it.
Feeling guilty about the incident from eight months ago, I hugged him tight and articted, "I''m sorry."
He raised a brow in confusion. "Huh?"
"Kevin was right. I ruined you."
He pped back. "I thought you did not know me at all."
I had no words.
In the past, he would never expose me. Instead, he would let me put on my act as he observed. Is he
angry at me because I said I didn''t know him?
I looked at the floor and bit my lips to stop my tears from streaming. After Iposed myself, I
apologized, "Sunny, I am sorry. It''s not that I didn''t want to approach you—I was scared. Everything I''ve
done is a failure, including your children that I miscarried. I''m fearful of meeting you again. When I went
to search for you in Find, you shunned me a few times. I thought you didn''t want to see me ever
again. That was sad and depressing!"
He did not me me at all. Sitting on the couch, he gently rubbed my cheek with a hand,forting
me in a low voice. "Let''s not debate the rights and wrongs of the past. The kids… We''re not destined to
be their parents, but you''re still young! With our advanced technology, you could go for an IVF if you
want a kid! If you don''t, we don''t have to try."
Just when I had held back my tears, his touching words set me off again. I buried my head and cried
my heart out in his arms. The pain, mncholy, and frustration I had experiencedtely were gone in a
second.
I thanked him from deep down in my heart for not ming me, and I felt grateful that he was willing to
approach me.
"Ray, you are the most important thing to me. Anything else does not matter. I won''t me you for
anything in our past nor debate over rights and wrongs. Have you forgotten my words?"
He once said that any misunderstanding was not a good reason to leave. I held his words close to
heart, but I also recalled the three times I did not get to see him in Find, which was a huge blow.
Sobbing, I asked, "Why did you refuse to see me?"
I was fragile in front of him, and I was willing to shed my armor and rely on him. This felt different from
my rtionship with Nick. With this man before me, I could entrust my whole life to him.
He did not give me an exnation as it was typical of him to be taciturn. After saying all he had wanted
to say, he went back to his old self.
Fuming, I called him, "Shawn Xenos."
He smiled. "That was rude."
When I called him by his full name, he would tell me off for being rude. After some time, he did not
bother to correct me anymore.
At first, I had wanted to tell him that I had the right to call my man by his full name. However, I was
stopped by the thought of my shameful and ridiculous actions fromst night.
Hence, I hurriedly left his embrace and was met with his confused gaze. I wiped my tears away and
exined, "I need to go to Bryxton."
Although we shared a room, we had not had any intimacy for eight months. I felt happy but unfamiliar
at the same time. Furthermore, I should meet my parents to tie up some loose ends.
Still, he insisted, "Change your clothes."
Perhaps I was unwilling to give in, I purposely went against him. "I''m toozy to do that. I''ll see how it
goes when I arrive in Bryxton."
"Ray, listen to me and change that outfit." He looked unfriendly, and I could not bother to engage with
him. With my heart singing happily, I left the apartment with car keys in hand.
When I arrived on the first floor, Joseph immediately handed me a parka. I frowned at his unnecessary
exnation when he informed me, "Mr. Xenos ordered me to pass this to you. He said that it''s cold in
Bryxton and had me prepare it for you."
Nah, Shawn is not the type to talk much. The most he would say is, "Get her a jacket."
I took the parka and asked, "Are you still taking orders from him?"
He answered, "I have notmunicated with him ever since he went abroad, but he texted me just
now."
"Text him back for me."
He deferred to me. "What do you want me to say, Miss?"
"Tell him that my parents are setting up a blind date for me."
Joseph was astonished. "Miss, is this an attempt to make him jealous?"N?velDrama.Org owns this.
