Chapter 276
In the end, while my mother survived, Robert got up to his feet and walked up to me, gazing at the
older man with a chuckle. "Well, I still have to host his funeral." For some reason, his smile and
laughter sent chills down my spine.

Nevertheless, I reminded him of in''s kindness. "He was once a part of your family, after all. He
raised you, so have a little kindness and gratitude, would you?"
Robert raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you saying I don''t have any of those two?"
"Yes, I am. At least I don''t think you have them."
Meanwhile, my phone in my handbag was still connected to a call from Shawn, which was the reason I
was not afraid of Robert at all. However, despite his psychopathic tendencies, I didn''t think he wanted
to hurt me because of his love for my mother. After all, I was another person he cared about the most
besides my mother. Because of that, he kept my kidney by soaking them in some chemicals even
though I couldn''t stomach that kind of disgusting behavior.
Upon hearing my words, Robert was seen with his face darkened as he looked outside the window for
a few moments. Then, he replied, "I can be kind, but only to those I care about. Ree, I hope you''ll see
eye to eye with me one day, and when that happens, you''ll understand me even better."
Understand you?! Without saying anything else, I walked up to my pale mother while questioning him,
"Why did you lie to me that my mother was…"
Robert pondered for a while. "I just wanted you to feel how it was like to lose someone you loved so
that you''d care about your mother more. Ree, your mother loves you dearly, and I hope you''ll never
forget that."
"I''m well aware of that," I answered coldly.
Soon, someone who seemed like a butler showed up and whispered something in Robert''s ear. Then,
he looked up, announcing, "Shawn is here."
That''s strange. He didn''t hide that from me. At the thought of that, I pursed my lips subconsciously, only
to hear him say, "Go now. I''ll inform you when Mother wants to see you."
"Can I stay with her?" I asked.
"Ree, she doesn''t want you to be sad for her."
…
Not long after that, Robert sent someone to escort me away from the mansion. When I arrived at the
pce, I saw Shawn standing at the entrance with his arms folded, whereupon I immediately ran up to
him and buried myself in his arms. "My heart. It hurts." Deep down, I was heartbroken for my mother,
but still, I was grateful enough to have read that letter and understood her love.
Shawn stroked my head but didn''t ask me about what had happened earlier. Soon, I buried myself in
his arms, refusing to leave as he brought me to the car with his arms around me. After getting into the
car, I said, "The reason Robert brought me all the way here was that he wanted to bring me closer to
my mother." Guess what? He did it. At least, I no longer hated or med that ill woman for what
happened to me subsequently. Instead, I thanked her for everything she had done for me.
Shawn asked with a gentle voice, "And? What happened in the end?"
"I finally felt the love from my mother."
"I see. By the way, what made you sick, Ray?"
Ew. Those kidneys… I told Shawn everything I went through, whereupon he responded with a cial
look and gave me his word. "I''ll take care of this matter for you."
"I just couldn''t help but find them disgusting." I was overwhelmed by the disgusting feeling that surged
at the thought of what I saw back there.
In the meantime, Shawn continued to hug me in his arms, setting his gaze on my face with his eyes
brightening up. Suddenly, I felt his lips pressing against mine, rubbing it repeatedly, but I quickly shoved
him away and murmured to myself. "Not now." For some reason, he wasn''t disgusted by me, not to
mention the fact that Joseph and the driver were also in the car. Because of that, I couldn''t help but feel
awkward about his behavior of kissing me in public, although it was his first time kissing me in front of
someone else.
Noticing my embarrassment, Shawn gently rubbed my cheek with his fingertips and smiled in
amusement. "I thought you were a thick-skinned little girl who wouldn''t feel shy at all."
While I was speechless, Shawn looked down and nted his lips on mine once more. The next
second, I wrapped my arms around his neck and indulged myself in our passionate kiss as my fingers
slowly moved down to his waist. Feeling the warmth on my palms, Shawn cupped my face and pecked
my forehead. "We''ll continue our fun when we get home." He spoke with a deep voice that was filled
with desire, rendering me speechless at the same time.
As soon as Shawn let go of me, I was left alone to fight my inner urges with my will. However, I was
able to put the disgusting thought that was bothering me earlier behind my mind, thanks to him. At that
moment, all I could think of was Shawn, but a few momentster, I began to realize he had done that
on purpose, to help me take my mind off the troubling experience I just went through. Nevertheless, his
method of helping me left me somewhat puzzled, making me wonder if he had begun to learn how to
seduce me. After all, he knew I had a soft spot for his good looks and charm.
…
Instead of leaving France in a helicopter, we flew away in a private jet in which I was alone with Shawn
in the huge cabin. Besides the two of us, there was also a medium-sized bed that looked simply
luxurious due to the silk bed sheet. Upon entering the jet, I rinsed my mouth and rested in Shawn''s
arms while enjoying the beautiful view outside the window. Despite the boring view, I was somewhat
happy, thinking it was probably because Shawn was by my side. Deep down, I reckoned I would
always be happy as long as Shawn was by my side.
Shawn fixed my hair around my ear with one hand while the other slipped underneath my shirt without
me noticing it. When he felt the gauze, I was immediately caught in a trance not long before I heard him
ask, "What''s this?"
"It''s nothing." I gazed at him with a pale face.
"Are you hurt?" he asked.
"It''s nothing serious." I lied, refusing to let him know my condition.
Meanwhile, Shawn raised his eyebrows and stared at me with his piercing gaze, as if he knew
something and was waiting for me to confess. The next second, I buried myself in his arms while trying
to brush him off. "It was an ident, okay? Just stop asking me about that, would you? You always get
hurt as well, don''t you? Speaking of that, have you fully recovered from all of your wounds?"
As I changed the subject, Shawn didn''t press on with his question but neither did he seem interested in
talking with me again. Thus, I kissed his chin and gently called out to him by his name, only to be
criticized with a cial gaze on his face. "Where are your manners?"
Amused by Shawn''s response, I pressed on with my mischief. "What is it to you when people call out to
you by your name? Every time I do that, you''d lecture me with a long face." When my question was met
with his silence, I pushed it further and added, "Shawn. Shawn. Shawn. Hello, Shawn. Shawn. Here I
am, shouting your name. So, what are you going to do about that? Do you know how handsome you
are, Shawn?" Needless to say, my yfulness left the man speechless.
Gazing at the man''s darkened gaze, I looked up and kissed his eyes before pecking his forehead. "I
love you so much." While my words might have probably turned Shawn on, he suddenly carried me in
his arms and put me on the bed. Then, I stared at him sentimentally, asking, "Is this your way of saying
you want my ''love''?" Despite saying that, I knew I couldn''t please him because I just had my surgical
treatment not long ago. However, I was still convinced that I could make him happy with some other
alternative ways, such as a lovely cuddle and some kissing.
While it was obvious that Shawn''s eyes were filled with overwhelming desire, I pinched his trouser legs
with a smile and said, "I''m going to make you…" I paused and got up, leaning on the man''s body.
At the same time, I whispered in his ear and said, "Lose your mind."
