Chapter 602


    Chapter 602 A Pic by the Sea


    Kevin''s question was honestly an over-worrying one and something only to be considered in the distant


    future. I pondered for a moment, then replied, ''He''s my son too, Kev.''


    I would give him the shares he deserved.


    Of course, I was referring to whatever was under my name.


    I had no power over Shawn''s assets, but I wouldn''t let Em suffer any losses either.


    Since I had adopted him, I would treat him fairly. To me, he was just as important as Skyler and River.


    That said, Em and I were still at the bonding stage.


    ''Lucky kid. He''s gotten a mother for nothing.''


    ''I''m the one who got a son for nothing.''


    With that, I put my phone down and no longer bothered myself with the group chat. Minutester, Kevin


    called and told me as though he had discovered the secret of the century, saying, "I found out Sunny''s


    a stalker!"


    I''m sorry?!


    "What are you talking about?" I asked.


    "He never says anything in the group chat, and I assumed he would never read our texts, but just after


    our conversation ended, he sent me a text asking me to bring Em and the twins to Find. It seems


    like I can never escape work."


    "Did he text you? As in text message? Does he not have your WhatsApp number?"


    Shawn did have Kevin''s WhatsApp number, but he texted Kevin instead.


    "He does, but is that the point I''m calling?" At that, he sighed. "I''ll certainly be given a load of work after


    arriving in Find. Sigh, goodbye, my sweet, leisurely days!"


    "Emma and the others are also here. You have nowhere to hide! Bring me some nice snacks from


    Bryxton, will you, Kev?"


    "Sure. See you in two days!" Kevin agreed.


    I couldn''t fall asleep after hanging up, mainly because I was uneasy about the fact that Shawn was still


    working. I was worried he''d spend another night awake.


    Since my body forbade me from staying upte, I forced myself to sleep. Later, in the middle of the


    night, I thought I felt movement next to me, so I flipped over and threw myself into Shawn''s arms. Then,


    I heard him chuckling under his breath. "What a clingy little girl. How adorable."


    "Mm…"


    "Ha, and she responds as well."


    With that, I was pulled further into his arms.


    Shawn was no longer by my side when I stirred in the morning, and when I found him, he was in his


    study. Shocked, I asked, "You haven''t spent all night working in here, have you? Are you tired?"


    He shook his head. "I just woke up."


    At that, I kissed his cheek needily, and a chuckle escaped his aloof face. "Someone''s a little needy in


    the morning," he said while pulling me into his arms. I sat on hisp and wrapped my arms around his


    neck. "I can''t help but worry you''ll wear out."


    "Don''t. I know what exactly I''m doing." He pinched my cheek but thought it felt bony. He beseeched,


    "You need to eat more and gain a few pounds. You''re prettier when you''re chubbier."


    "Who looks prettier when they be chubbier?"


    "You''re more charming when you''re curvaceous."


    I was rendered speechless.


    "You''re getting insincere with your words," I remarked as Iy in his arms, leading him to pull me closer.


    "Mm. I just want you to be healthy."

    "Where are we going today?" I asked as I buried my head in his shoulder. "We can head out in the


    afternoon if you want to rest in the morning."


    "I''m not tired. Where do you want to go?"


    "I''m not familiar with the town. This is your turf. How about you just show me around? I''m good to go


    anywhere as long as I''m with you. I heard the weather today is wonderful."


    "Get changed, then."


    I obediently returned to our bedroom at that, and for convenience''s sake, I changed into a white T-shirt


    and a pair of light blue jeans.


    Just as I was done changing, Shawn came in and took his clothes off right in front of me. With that, he


    put on a wholly ck t-shirt and denim jeans. As I noticed he had been wearing the same styletely, I


    commented, "You''ve changed your styletely."


    "It''s getting warm, and Waylen suggested I change into these."


    Waylen sure worries about everything. He''s even concerned about something as minor as buying


    clothes.


    "Well, you look as ravishing as ever."


    Gratified, he held my hand and led me out of the room. When we were descending the stairs, I found


    Eins and Zwei keeping watch at the door, so I suggested, "Why don''t we take Eins and Zwei to the


    beach? We can make some food at home and call it a pic or lie down and feel the sun when we''re


    tired."


    "Sure. What do you need?"


    With that, I took the liberty of assigning tasks. "I''ll prepare sandwiches and some other finger food. Can


    you find me an outdoor table and arge cloth for us to lie down on?"


    "Cheeky girl."


    Shawn went back upstairs while I looked for a basket in the kitchen before pulling out a loaf of bread


    and a few bottles of milk from the fridge. As I began making the sandwiches, I found Shawn with two


    folded cotton cloths in his hands as he descended the stairs. "I''ll put them in the car first," he said while


    heading toward the door.


    At the thought that we had plenty of time and the sun still didn''t look warm enough, I made some


    wraps. Fortunately for me, we had everything at home to make wraps. I also made some mini


    vegetable frittatas and sd while I was at it.


    I also added some apples and a bunch of grapes into the basket, which was filled up in no time. I


    deliberated for a moment after that and decided to bring along a bottle of wine and a drinking ss.


    Before heading out, I grabbed a bag of the dogs'' treats, and when I was out, I found Shawn putting the


    dogs'' toys into the car.


    Eins and Zwei were pretty big fans of the sea.


    "All set?" Shawn asked when he saw that I hade out.


    "Yeah, ready when you are!"


    The next second, Diego''s voice came from outside. "Now, where are you lovely folks heading? And you


    brought Eins and Zwei''s toys and bells with you. Where is this getaway you guys are going to?"


    "What are you doing here?" Shawn asked impassively.


    "I live just around the corner; you know that. I thought I coulde and hang out before heading to


    work and see if I can hitch a ride with you guys."


    "Get your own ride." Shawn turned him down at once, but Diego pressed on, asking, "Where are you


    two heading?"


    Shawn said nothing, so Diego looked toward me, and I said Shawn wanted to head to the beach.


    He couldn''t know I was the one who suggested it, or he would certainly follow, and I couldn''t turn him


    down either.


    "Are you not going to the office today, Shawn?"


    "Do you need something from me?" Shawn frowned.


    "I''m bored. Take me with you…"


    "Are you serious, Hayes?" Despite Shawn''s in voice, it wasced with the warning for Diego to back


    off. "I''vee to see if I can borrow a car."


    "The keys are all in the living room drawer," I said on behalf of Shawn. "Take whichever catches your


    fancy!"


    Shawn had driven the car out of the mansion at this point, and as I went up to him, I heard Diego


    sighing. "Am I damned to be ignored just because I''m single?!"


    Shawn parked the car in front of our entrance when I caught up to him. At that, I put the basket into the


    trunk and covered it with a cloth before beckoning Eins and Zwei, who stood longingly at the door but


    dared not step out.


    Upon hearing my call, they dashed and jumped into the back seat. "Smart little fellows, aren''t they?!" I


    said with a giggle, to which Shawn said, "Yeah, let''s go."
