Chapter 257
Chapter 257
"I''ll kill Nichs if you mention him again." Shawn''s breathnded on my face. Although his tone was
gentle, it was still full of impact!
I knew that Shawn was a man of his word. Since he didn''t know what to do with me, he could only use
Nichs against me, and it actually worked!
With his warning, I tactfully refrained from mentioning Nichs, but I was still embarrassed about our
current state. As such, I red at him and snarled, "Let go of me!"
Even though his embrace made me desire him, I didn''t have any other choice but to leave. Yet, my
words seemed like they couldn''t get through to him. He carried me in his arms immediately and strode
to the couch before cing me on it.
I was briefly stunned as I sank into the wide and soft couch. Just then, Shawn removed his coat in front
of me. He was left with a white shirt on his body, showing his slim and strong figure.
Captivated by his beauty, I felt dizzy all of a sudden. I took a deep breath before asking, "What do you
want?"
At this moment, his face was calm as usual, but he was still ignoring me. His cold expression made him
look as though he was a cold-hearted and cruel killer!
His slender fingers touched the cor of his shirt, and he started to remove the ck tie on his neck,
throwing it at me. I sat up sharply, but he calmly threatened me, "Don''t move around again."
Do you think I''ll listen to you?! I stood up and wanted to leave the ce, but Shawn grabbed me by the
wrist and pulled me back into his embrace. Being so close to him could make me feel his warmth and
his burning desire!
My face flushed instantly out of embarrassment.
Even though I struggled to escape from his embrace, it was to no avail. He was a man who trained his
body all the time, while I was a woman who had a weak body. He could restrain me with ease, and at
that moment, I was so anxious that I almost burst out crying.
I was afraid of being so close to Shawn and even more afraid that I wouldn''t be able to stand his
seduction. How should I reject him?!
Just then, Shawn took the ck tie on the couch and tied my hands up. I wanted to shout for Joseph
and ask him to save me, but I gave up on that thought when I recalled how much Shawn intimidated
him. Meanwhile, Shawn had already unbuttoned his shirt.
His chest was showing a little. Although it was full of scars, it didn''t affect his allure at all. He was still so
good-looking that it was deadly!
I saw him remove his shirt and throw it on me in front of my eyes. All that remained on his body were
his pants and belt.
What is he trying to do?! Is he going to… But it''s daytime, and Joseph and the others are still guarding
the door! Also, given our current rtionship, it would be rather inappropriate to do something like this!
I was so anxious that my face turned pale, but Shawn suddenly sat down and released my hands.
Then, he instructed me softly, "Ray, help me dress my wound."
Was he just trying to ask me to dress his wound?! Was I imagining things all this while?
My face darkened, and I looked at him while he sat down with his back facing me. Only then did I
notice there were wounds on his back that seemed like he had been shed with a knife.
Even though I didn''t want to help him dress his wounds, I felt terrible for him inside. As such, I stood up
without saying a word and looked for the medical kit. When I applied ointment to his back, I wanted to
apply it with some force, but I couldn''t bring myself to do it. In the end, I just applied the ointment
obediently.
After that, Shawn''s mood wasn''t as vtile as it had been earlier. I heaved a sigh of relief, but just as I
stood up to put the medical kit back, his gazended on me. He then said in a deep voice, "I know it''s
Nichs'' vi downstairs, but the Yates are the ones staying there, so there''s nothing like a resurgence
between you two. Also, you''re only using Nichs to provoke me just because you want me to stay
away from you."
He could always see through my thoughts.
As I sat further away from him, I reminded him, "Shawn, no matter what you were thinkingst time,
you were the one who initiated our breakup. What makes you think that I must agree when you want us
to get back together now?!"
I wanted to be with him even when he hurt me before! He didn''t want to do that in the first ce. I''ve
forgiven Nichs so many times, so why not give Shawn a chance now? Also, my mind is full of him!
But my body… my body has be my obstacle. I just can''t bring myself to do it.
Hearing that, he asked while raising his brows, "Are you saying that you want to leave me?"
"That''s right. I want to have nothing to do with you."
He sighed and said, "Since when did you learn to throw tantrums at me, Ray? I remember when I first
met you, you were afraid of me, respected me, and even wanted me to kiss you. What''s wrong now?"
After a pause, he continued with a smile in his voice, "You want to stay away from me so badly, but do
you really think you can cut me off when you''ve already lured me? Ray, you know what kind of person I
am better than anyone else. Of course, I can''t stand threatening the woman I want, but that doesn''t
mean I won''t do it. I will allow you to do whatever you want, but there''s a bottom line. At the very least,
you should not have the idea of cutting me off!"
The first time we went to Espoo in Find was four months after Nichs ''passed away''. While I was
in Shawn''s bed, I couldn''t stand his seduction and wanted to kiss him without him knowing, but he
woke up in the end.
Shawn asked me calmly, "Do you want to kiss me?"
I followed my heart and admitted it, but he then asked me a weird question, "Do you know what this
would mean?"
He was my brother at the time, and he was my legal family. That kiss would make our rtionship
awkward. He understood that very clearly, and so did I, but he still kissed me.
He said, "I''ll grant your wish." He gave it to me because I wanted it, and it didn''t matter how
unreasonable my request was.
When I recalled that incident, I suddenly realized that even when he looked stern and aloof at that time,
he pampered me a lot.
Meanwhile, Shawn noticed that I wasn''t talking, so he stood up and said, "Think about it yourself. I''ll
wait for you at the vi by the beach for a night. If you don''t show up…" He gave me a nce from the
corner of his eyes. "I''m not a saint, babe."
He was threatening me both explicitly and implicitly. If I didn''t get back together with him, he would
force me to do so. How selfish! He''s not giving me the option to choose! But how dare I get close to
him again?
I just pressed my lips together tightly without saying a word. Suddenly, he bent down and kissed me on
the cheek like a child. Bewildered, I put my hand over my cheek and looked at him. He then said with a
smile, "I''ll be waiting for you."
Following that, he put on his clothes and left right after. The sound of a helicopter could be heard from
outside, and when I went out, he was already long gone.
With tears welling up in my eyes, I asked Joseph beside me, "Have you ever had a time when you
couldn''t make a decision? You love someone, but you have no other choice but to leave that person."
Puzzled, Joseph asked, "Why did you leave him, Miss?"
It''s because of my body… I shouldn''t use this kind of excuse to push him away, but I''m a person with
no future. If that''s the case, I should just let him hate me. He''ll feel better when I''m not around
anymore.
"I have my problems, Joseph."
After some thought, he said, "Miss, since Mr. Xenos has already found this ce, he certainly won''t let
you leave. If you engage in a standoff with him, you''ll end up suffering the most instead."
Hearing that, I had noeback.
Annoyed, I returned to my room, but Shawn''s face was still wandering in my mind. I really don''t want to
lose him. I love him so much, much more than I loved Nichsst time.
After a sigh, I unlocked my phone and saw that Kevin messaged in the group chat that Shawn was in.
''Sunny, are you going back to Eldham?''
A few minutester, Shawn replied, ''Tomorrow.''
I knew that he was waiting for my decision at that moment.
Then, Kevin asked cheekily, ''Are you staying in Bryxton to apany Ray?''
''Does it have anything to do with you?'' Shawn responded. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
I left the group chat right then, but Kevin sent me a private message. ''Ray, Sunny has never replied to
any of us in the group chat. He became active only after seeing you in the group. You need to be active
too!''
