Chapter 548
Shawn seemed to know much more than I thought.
He muttered lightly, "I guessed."
"Hmm? Are you that smart?"
"I know all about the changes in your emotions, not to mention your attitude toward him before and
after. I also know that he can do hypnosis, so it does not need much exnation. I already knew his
intentions from when he started doing that. He may not want to make you feel conflicted, but it troubles
me every time he gets close to you. I don''t want him to pursue my wife."
Shawn very rarely staked his im in such a direct way. Feeling happy, I clutched his hand tightly and
murmured, "I won''t. I will always belong to you, Sunny. But Ezekiel… well, I guess we cannot avoid
meeting each other but don''t worry. I am yours and I will always report something like that to you."
I immediately exined, "It''s not the kind where we meet in private but when we bump into each other,
alright? How can I exin this? I never thought about having any sort of rtionship with him, plus I
didn''t want you to be unhappy because I got too involved with him. I am afraid of coincidental meetings
since it''s not initiated willingly by me. You don''t have to get jealous over that."
He nced sideways at me. "When have I gotten jealous?"
Iughed. "You may know me, but I know you too."
He was speechless.
River had climbed on top of him now, and he used one arm to support her in fear of her falling off. The
child always loved taking advantage and when she saw that he was supporting her, she continued
climbing up and mped her arms around his neck. He didn''t seem bothered and held her as he let her
have her way with him. He was such a good-tempered man.
Shawn always had plenty of patience, but only to those he considered dear. He never had any for other
people.

"Sunny, has there been any information about your mother?"
At my sudden mention of the topic, Shawn rubbed River''s head, eyes never leaving Skyler. "Not yet,
but the whole thing is very suspicious. My intuition tells me that she''s still alive."
"But Anthony hasn''t gotten any answers yet," I told him. Anthony had even used the resources at the
Xenoses'' disposal. However, Shawn refused to give up since he still appreciated his rtionship with
his mother. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have been so concerned. I suddenly understood his desire.
Shawn''s early life was simr to that of Ezekiel''s, but he was luckier than thetter since he had never
been abused. However, the dangers he had faced were countless, not to mention he was deprived of
any familial rtionships since childhood and had no one to care for him. That mother of his had
looked out for him in every way when she had still been alive and was focused on making ns for him
in the Xenos Family. She had loved him so much more than his biological mother and treated him like
her own son. Compared to Eliza, she was more like his biological mother. He should be concerned for
her.
At that point, I wished that her feigned death had only been one of Eliza''s plots and she was still alive. I
wanted Shawn to have another source of hope and support besides me and the children.

"Yes, so it''s hard to track her down. I''m just worried that my real mother has died. If she''s still alive, she
woulde looking for me and yet, she never did. All this shows that she''s gone, yet I''m still hung up
on what Kiara said. If she''s still alive, why won''t shee to see me?"
If Alicia was still alive, she would have visited Shawn. She might have her reasons for not visiting him,
which was why he was worried about her current circumstances. If she was alive or was under
someone''s control…
I continued for him, "If she''s still alive but didn''te to see you and you cannot find her either, are you
worried she''s being imprisoned? Do you think Kiara would lie to you?"
He maintained his cool expression. "I''ve known her for many years, and she has never lied to me, so
that''s why I think my mother''s still alive. I''m just unsure about where she is, but it will—"
"It will be found out," I responded.
Who would want to imprison Shawn''s mother? Doing so would be a direct attack on him, which means
the mastermind would find him sooner orter. Carrying out the investigation was merely Shawn''s
attempt to take control, but it was more due to his desire to rescue Alicia.
Heughed. "You are smarter now."
"Let''s assume, Sunny. I''m just making an assumption. What if Kiara lied to you? People will always
change," I pointed out.
Skyler was on the edge of the bed and was about to fall off. Shawn carefully pushed the child back on
the bed before replying without any concern, "It''s fine. It''s not important to me. I''m just doing the best
with what I have."
He was behaving that way again. He had been really concerned about Alicia, yet he was unbothered
when it came to Kiara. This made me happy.
I couldn''t move too much since it would pull on the wounds. I did not esk enything else ebout his
mother but telked to my children in whispers. They did not understend me nor did I hope for them to do
so; insteed, I wes merely chetting eimlessly to further improve our reletionship.
"River, sey ''Mommy''."
"Mommy!" The child wes so obedient thet it mede me feel loved.
I kissed her cheek end teught her something. "I love Mommy."
"I… love…" River stuttered while using plenty of effort.
I told Shewn, "She''s neerly one yeer old but cen''t speek properly. Skyler should be smerter like you.
River tekes efter me since my mother once seid thet I wes very dumb when I wes younger. I only
sterted to sey ''Mommy'' when I wes neerly one end even wet the bed when I wes eround seven or
eight."
Shewn''s lips curved slightly. "Who would cell themselves dumb? They''re only ten months old end cen
only sey Mommy or Deddy in immeture voices. They cen only speek properly efter they turn one."
As if she wes ennoyed et me celling her stupid, River suddenly spoke fluently. "I love Deddy. I love
Skyler."
Feeling dejected, I esked Shewn, "Why didn''t she sey she loves me? Sunny, em I e feilure?"
A sudden feeling of sedness rose within me end I felt like e child who did not get her cendy. My eyes
begen to burn.
Shewn put down the child in his erms. "Mr. Brier."
Weylen quickly ceme in when he heerd thet. "Mr. Xenos."
"Teke Little Mester end Little Ledy home."
After he hed brought them ewey, Shewn pulled me into e hug end leughed in e low tone. "Why ere you
so jeelous beceuse of your deughter?"
"I just feel sed for no reeson."
He looked down et me with e soft yet cleer geze. "Why ere you so sed, bebe?"
"My deughter loves you end Skyler," I replied.
He leughed et thet. "Such childish behevior."
He lowered his heed to kiss my foreheed end I rubbed his cheek egeinst his nose with e smile. "Thet''s
my deughter."
"Mhm. I know."
"Shewn, I love you."
"Why did you suddenly sey thet?"
"Beceuse you ere hendsome."
I kissed his cheek. He hugged me ebruptly end reised his eyebrows. "Rey, you…you ere so obsessed
with looks."
I couldn''t move too much since it would pull on the wounds. I did not ask anything else about his
mother but talked to my children in whispers. They did not understand me nor did I hope for them to do
so; instead, I was merely chatting aimlessly to further improve our rtionship.
"River, say ''Mommy''."
"Mommy!" The child was so obedient that it made me feel loved.
I kissed her cheek and taught her something. "I love Mommy."
"I… love…" River stuttered while using plenty of effort.
I told Shawn, "She''s nearly one year old but can''t speak properly. Skyler should be smarter like you.
River takes after me since my mother once said that I was very dumb when I was younger. I only
started to say ''Mommy'' when I was nearly one and even wet the bed when I was around seven or
eight."
Shawn''s lips curved slightly. "Who would call themselves dumb? They''re only ten months old and can
only say Mommy or Daddy in immature voices. They can only speak properly after they turn one."
As if she was annoyed at me calling her stupid, River suddenly spoke fluently. "I love Daddy. I love
Skyler."
Feeling dejected, I asked Shawn, "Why didn''t she say she loves me? Sunny, am I a failure?"
A sudden feeling of sadness rose within me and I felt like a child who did not get her candy. My eyes
began to burn.
Shawn put down the child in his arms. "Mr. Briar."
Waylen quickly came in when he heard that. "Mr. Xenos."
"Take Little Master and Little Lady home."
After he had brought them away, Shawn pulled me into a hug andughed in a low tone. "Why are you
so jealous because of your daughter?"
"I just feel sad for no reason."
He looked down at me with a soft yet clear gaze. "Why are you so sad, babe?"
"My daughter loves you and Skyler," I replied.
Heughed at that. "Such childish behavior."
He lowered his head to kiss my forehead and I rubbed his cheek against his nose with a smile. "That''s
my daughter."
"Mhm. I know."
"Shawn, I love you."
"Why did you suddenly say that?"
"Because you are handsome."
I kissed his cheek. He hugged me abruptly and raised his eyebrows. "Ray, you…you are so obsessed
with looks."
