Chapter 212


    Chapter 212


    The imperial family of France? Why is it in Russia?


    Doubts flooded my head, but there was no answer to those questions at the time. Due to fatigue, I


    eventually fell asleep in Shawn''s arms in no time.


    It was about 7.00AM when they arrived at Eldham. The helicopter descended at Xenos'' Vi, which


    was the ce Shawn stayed previously.


    My drowsy eyes opened and I looked at Shawn, who was carrying me off the helicopter. Next, it took


    off again since Rudy and May had to return to Bryxton.


    Shawn embraced me in his arms as he marched straight to his room in the vi. After tucking me in the


    big bed, he went to the bathroom for a shower.


    My eyes remained closed as Iy in bed wearily. Before long, I heard somethinging from the


    bathroom. I opened my eyes and looked over, only to see the man change into a ck silk robe that


    revealed a part of his chest.


    Blinking my eyes, I slowly uttered, "Sunny."


    He sat next to me and raised his hand to stroke my cheek. Then, he began to remove the coat and


    shoes from me.


    I enjoyed his minister as he removed those heavy garments on me and left me in my underwear, after


    which I called him softly to exin, "Sunny, someone saved me back there."


    He hummed lightly in response.


    "I don''t know anything about that person." All I know is that he''s Robert, nothing more.


    "Hmm. You don''t have to exin."


    It seemed like he did not take Rudy''s words to heart. Instead, his slender fingers undid my bra hook


    and my face turned crimson. I stared at him as I did not what to do. Truthfully, he felt somewhat


    unfamiliar to me after having separated for eight months, and I could not stand how his eyes were fixed


    on me so bluntly.


    Yet, the gleam in his eyes was clear without hints of sexual desire. He lifted the nket and covered it


    on me before cing my leg on his knees.


    Previously, I had scrapped my heels after wearing high heels, and now, my legs were all stiff due to the


    long walk in the snow.


    Shawn massaged my feet lightly and added some strength to his hands at times. I felt sofortable


    as I watched him lovingly.


    The man beside me was meticulous since he remembered everything I had said in the helicopter.


    Despite his quiet behavior, he always warmed my heart with his actions. Honestly, it melted my heart


    that I became all smitten with him at that moment.


    About thirty minutester, he put down my feet and headed to the bathroom. By the time he came out,


    he was holding a basin of warm water.


    He set it next to the bed and ced my feet into it. I let out a sigh as soon as my skin touched the


    water. Hearing that, he gave me a sideway nce and our eyes met. It was so embarrassing that I


    grinned at him sheepishly.


    Every couple was bound to be reserved at first met after a long separation, not to mention that we had


    broken up for eight months. Technically, we were not a couple, which exined the thick awkwardness


    that spread from the bottom of my heart. I could not act affectionately like how I did to him in the past.


    At that, he curled his lips into a smile. "Are you afraid of me?"


    I shook my head and he questioned once again, "Am I gonna eat you up?"


    While I was biting my lower lip, hey sideways next to me by propping his head while his zing gaze


    zeroed in on me. Now that his handsome face was close to mine, I gulped down my saliva to moisten


    my dry throat. "When are you going to rest up?"


    "Why?" he askednguidly.


    I feigned calmness. "I need some sleep."


    "Babe," he called in a low voice.


    "Hmm?" I gazed at him in doubt.


    "Kiss me."


    Hearing those two words from his lips almost made my heart burst. Never once had I ever heard him


    asking for a kiss in such an authoritative voice. He sounded as if he deserved it too!


    My mind was buffering for a moment. A displeased Shawn frowned as he grazed my smooth cheek


    with two fingers. "You don''t want to?"


    I shook my head and hugged his neck beforending a light kiss on his cheek. Next, my lips met the


    corner of his lips. Withdrawing my arms, I cupped his cheeks and he turned his head sideways to kiss


    my palm seductively.


    My heart rippled, and the nket on me gradually fell onto the ground.


    The morning sunlight seeped through the French windows, casting waves of golden sheens into the


    room. I could vividly see the beastly eyes on his tranquil countenance. It was as if he was going to


    devour me whole!


    It was my first time seeing lust in his eyes, so I became jittery in split second. The brisk sound of birds


    chirping resounded out of the window as my body curled up into a ball when I heard him saying, "Good


    girl, calm down."


    I was nervous yet looking forward to it at the same time!


    "Babe, don''t be afraid," he cooed.


    "Hmm. I''m just not used to it."


    "Good girl." The man was way too sexy in the morning.


    …


    After that, Shawn let me off and I shut my eyes tiredly. Soon, I drifted into dreand in bed.


    In the meantime, I could feel someone wiping my body, but I was toozy to open my eyes. By the time


    I woke up, it was already 4.00PM.


    Although Shawn was nowhere in sight, my phone was ced next to the pillow! How did he actually


    manage to get it back?


    I scooped it over and checked on it. Looking at the missed calls from my parents, I recalled the promise


    I made yesterday, that I nned on staying at their ce.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    I quickly called my mother, Jennifer, who bombarded me worriedly before I could say anything. "Ree,


    oh, Ree. We couldn''t get in touch with you the whole time. What happened?"


    Even though they were my adoptive parents, they always gave me their best. They gave me a


    wonderful life and it was them who molded a confident yet gorgeous Renee!


    Until this day, they were still missing me as I was their only daughter in their heart. Of course, I loved


    them the most.


    Feeling touched, I elucidated, "Mom, I returned to Eldhamst night. I couldn''t contact you guys


    because I lost my phone."


    "Then, send me Joseph''s contact number. If something happens to you, we can just call him."


    I got up from bed to draw the curtains, which were closed by Shawn. I narrowed my eyes while bathing


    under the sunlight. "Hmm. I''ll text youter."


    She began nagging again. "Your father''s right. You should find yourself a partner and get married. If


    you truly love Shawn, bring him home. I still can''t figure out his feelings for you because he looks so


    arrogant, and a man who owns everything like him shouldn''t be worried about finding a partner. Ree,


    don''t me me for putting it this way, but it will be your second marriage after all. Men are usually


    sensitive about it. So, your father and I wish to get to know him so we can settle things down."


    That was really what every blood mother would say.


    I walked to the balcony to watch the man lying in the garden, narrowing his eyes while soaking under


    the sunlight. Shawn was looking in my direction as I spoke over the phone with a smile, "I''ll make it


    happen as soon as possible."


    "Give me an exact date, then." Mom was literally forcing me.


    "What''s with the rush?" I asked helplessly.


    Still, she insisted, "When are you gonna bring him home?"
