Chapter 245


    Chapter 245


    "I remember you. You''re just a pile of rubbish sentenced to death by the Xenos Family!"


    Colin was so stunned that he spoke incoherently. "R-Rubbish?"


    I chuckled and countered sarcastically, "No? Are you trash, then?" He was just trash and a disgrace to


    me!


    At that, heughed in anger. "Shawn''s woman is so feisty!"


    He brought up thest name I wanted to hear.


    I didn''t give him a response. After a moment of silence, I reminded him faintly, "Enjoy these few days of


    peace. After I am done with Christmas…"


    The pleasant sound of a piano came from the stage, and I continued in a low voice, "WT will be


    trashed!"


    From the other end of the line came Colin''sughter. "Who gave you the courage to say that?"


    I ignored him and hung up the phone.


    However, I didn''t know that Colin was currently looking at Shawn, who was flipping through some


    books. Then, Colin asked with a stunned expression, "Why is your woman so hot-tempered? Could it


    be that she''s still holding a grudge against me?"


    Without raising his head, Shawn answered, "She''s always good at holding grudges."


    Renee held a grudge, so she never forgave Nichs. Hence, Shawn knew the woman would never


    forgive him. He turned a page as Colin said with a sad expression, "I should have been more polite to


    her."


    Shawn only looked up at Colin and asked coldly, "What did you do to her?"


    Colin would not have the courage to say that he had gotten horny and held Renee''s little hand to touch


    his member.


    If Shawn knew about that, Colin would die right away!


    So, Colin hurriedly said with augh, "I pushed her into the arena."


    Shawn was stunned. He kicked her hard that day. As such, he was curious about her injury and worried


    about her.


    However, he was but a trapped beast. Kevin had not found out Shawn''s whereabouts yet. Still, it was


    not slow in the investigation, but WT had gone so far as to destroy a century-old foundation to hide him.


    So, the only thing that could locate his whereabouts was the Xenos Family''s GPS.


    Hence, the person that could search for him in a short time was Renee.


    It was almost Christmas and Renee''s birthday.


    Shawn was regretful as he withdrew his gaze to look at the wedding ring.


    Her birthday present to him a year ago was her determination to marry him.


    Sighing, he mumbled, "I''m sorry to have upset you."


    Renee, my babe. I owe you, although this wasn''t my intent. However, this is my world, where disaster


    and glory go hand in hand.


    …


    The recital onlysted for three hours. After it was over, Christopher got up and left immediately.


    He messaged me, ''I''m sorry. There''s a huge audience down there, so I''m sure to cause a panic if I go


    looking for you. I''ll leave first. I n to stay in Eldham for the night and pick Emma up tomorrow before


    returning to Goldshore.''


    Christopher''s tone hinted that he was confident that Emma would follow him back to Goldshore.


    Deep down, he was confident that he had her.


    The audience in the auditorium left one after another, probably preparing to go home to their families


    for Christmas. I sat here not knowing where to return to, as I had no ce to return in peace.


    I stayed here for a long time and fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up again, the music hall was


    empty. Then, I got up and looked at the gift next to me. It looked pitiful being alone there.


    After some thinking, I picked it up and headed to see Joseph waiting at the entrance.


    I tossed the gift in his arms and instructed, "Keep it for me."


    The snow in Bryxton was heavier now. I suddenly remembered that more than a year ago, when I had


    three months left, I met Christopher, whose silhouette was elongated long under the streemps in the


    alley nearby.


    At that time, I thought he was Nichs, and I was secretly happy because of the warmth he gave me.


    As I thought about it again, I remembered how sad I once was.


    I was equally miserable today and still a mess.


    In the end, I took a deep breath and said to Joseph, "Wait for me here."


    I stepped into the snowy night and the next alley. The long passage was all white with snow. Then, I


    walked under the same streetlights as before and sighed. "Why do I always feel sad these days?"


    I was sad enough to start reminiscing over that faint warmth that used to be there.


    Then, I closed my eyes and sobbed, "Shawn, you shattered my faith."


    He shattered the love that I had rebuilt with difficulty.


    "Miss, are you alone?"


    My eyes snapped open to meet a charming and delicate face. I took a step back to steady myself and


    asked, "Why are you here?"


    He smiled and stated, "I miss you."


    I turned to leave, but he followed me and asked, "Do you hate me?"


    No, I don''t hate you at all!


    I was grateful that he saved me from dying.


    However, I didn''t want anything to do with him.


    It was because Shawn said he was shady.


    Shawn also said that he was not easily pleased.


    So, I did not want to deal with people like that. Moreover, I did not want to put myself in any unstable


    situation.


    Although I rejected everything about him, he suddenly said, "Happy birthday, Ree."


    Apart from Nichs, he was the first person to wish me a happy birthday. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    It was also the first blessing that I was willing to ept.


    My strength and calmness were shattered at this moment. I stood there with tears streaming down my


    face, not knowing what I was aggrieved or sad about. However, I couldn''t help the sadness in my heart.


    The boy walked up to me and asked, "Miss, why are you crying?"


    Why am I crying? "I don''t know either," I mumbled softly.


    Then, he asked me gently, "Are you sad?"


    "Robert, I am doomed to fail in this life."


    However, Robertmented dismissively, "Your life has just begun."


    Yes, it had only just begun.


    However, it felt like a lifetime had passed.


    I reached up to wipe the tears on my face and tried to find Joseph to go home. However, Robert stood


    in front of me. I pushed him away, but my arm got caught in his headphone cords, so the feminine pink


    headphones with small diamonds dropped to the ground. He reached for them, and I asked him


    curiously, "Why do you always wear a pair of headphones?"


    Robert ignored me, so I asked him in a low voice, "Why aren''t you talking?"


    However, he still ignored me, so I cursed that he was deaf.


    I walked around him to leave, but he called out to me not long after, "Miss, where are you going?"


    Robert called me Ree one minute and Miss the next.


    Moreover, he spoke as if nothing had just happened.


    So, I ignored him and continued walking in the direction I was going. However, he ran to my side and


    asked softly and nervously, much like a boy, "Can Ie home with you? I want to spend Christmas


    with you."


    I refused cruelly when I heard that. "No."


    "Miss, I''m all alone," he murmured cutely. "Pity me."


    Hence, I inadvertently said, "Why should I take you home if all you do is ignore me?"


    Confused, he looked at me and asked, "When did I ignore you?"


    At that, I jerked to a halt and inclined my head to look at his headphones.


    I then had my spection. I think I called him deaf twice!
