Chapter 605
Chapter 605 Wee to My World
After sunset, we returned to the vi. Shawn bathed the two children while I brought Em to his
bedroom on the third floor. Shawn specifically mentioned that he preferred silence when dealing with
business matters at night, so no one was to stay on the second floor.
Kevin also exined, "Although we regrly eat and sleep over at Sunny''s house, we usually stay over
on the first or third floor."

"Okay. So, you and Em can share a room."
"Sure. Now, I have someone I can talk with."
"Uhm… Em doesn''t seem like someone who''ll chat with you."
However, Kevin did not mind. "It''s fine. I can talk the whole night, so he''s bound to reply to me at some
point. It''s better than living alone."
I did not know how to reply to him.
That evening, Diego brought two nannies to the vi. He said it was Shawn''s orders because the two
children were still on breast milk.
Next month would be Skyler and River''s first birthday. They were not old enough to stop drinking breast
milk yet, but we had already made ns to stop breastfeeding. Therefore, we had been gradually
reducing their breast milk intake.
"That''s great. The children are quite active, and it makes me more relieved to have extra pairs of
hands. Come to think of it, I haven''t gotten used to taking care of my children."
"Wives of wealthy families don''t have to do everything themselves."
I could not find words to retort that.
Diego asked, "What are you having for dinner?"
As Kevin was still angry at him for what happenedst time, he rebuked, "Hurry up and leave! Go home
if you don''t have any business here, and let me be free of annoyance for one night."
Diego spoke in defiance, "Who exactly is the annoying one here? By the way, Aimes has yet to hold a
funeral for LG. He says he must wait for Shawn."
When Kevin heard that, he replied, "She has overstepped Sunny''s boundaries more than once, so he
will never attend her funeral."
"What you said is true, but we can''t do anything about Amies'' stubbornness."
Kevin replied, "Let him do whatever he wants. You, on the other hand, leave."
Diego originally wanted to stay over for dinner but was chased away by the vengeful Kevin. When I
arrived upstairs, I saw Shawn had finished giving the children their baths and even helped them
change into pretty clothes.
Just as I entered the room, I saw him caressing River''s cheeks with his fingers while hesitantly
speaking to me, "She''s so young. This tiny child needs to be meticulously cared for to grow up
healthily." He eximed, "She''s so fragile."
"As her father, it''s your responsibility to do those meticulous things."
He replied softly, "You''re right. Those are things that a father should do."
"Sunny, what would you like for dinner?"
"I need to leave in a while," he informed me.
"Well, when are youing home?"
He gave a short reply. "Tomorrow night."
"Remember to have your meals. Don''t starve yourself."
"I know. You don''t have to remind me of everything."
With a bitter expression, I asked, "Are you saying I''m annoying?"
"Ray, you''re putting words into my mouth."
A few minutester, Shawn left the vi with Em, who had just arrived today. I was worried about
them, but Kevin assured me that everything was under Shawn''s control, so there was no reason for me
to worry. What he said was true, but Em and Shawn had not had the chance to get to know each
other.
I wonder how they would get along.
…
Inside the helicopter, Shawn had changed into a formal ck suit with a standard white shirt inside
before resting. asionally, he would nce at the quiet young man. "Hey—"
Em realized he was calling him and asked, "Father, you called?"
Hearing that, Shawn curled his lips into a smile. "You''re a fast learner."
Em pursed his lips before asking, "What do you need?"
"Are you sure you want to cut ties with the Yonder Family?"
Em''s eyes glistened as he confirmed. "Yes."
Seeming to have thought of something, Shawn began. "I left the Xenos Family before I turned ten and
have been living in Europe since. I consider Find my real home, but there were times during thete
nights when I''d think of the Xenos Family and wonder why else I would return to the Xenoses besides
iming my rights as the sessor. After thinking about it for many years, I finally remembered that
my mother was there. Although she treated me coldly, we''re bound by blood, and I can''t help but yearn
for her attention."
After listening to his story, Em seemed to have understood something. He asked softly, "What are
you trying to tell me, Father?"
"Your biological parents remain alive, but you chose me and Mrs. Xenos to be your parents. Since you
still have ties buried deep inside you while joining the Xenos Family, I can''t be sure that you''ll always
stand by our side. Do you understand what family means?"
Em respectfully replied, "Please tell me."
"Your family are people you''ll never abandon no matter what danger or difficulties you face. Also, you''ll
always see their safety as your top priority and have ample trust in them. I hope you can see the Xenos
Family like how you see your religion."
"Are you afraid I might hurt—"
Shawn interrupted him and spoke calmly, "I''m not worried you''d hurt them. I just hope you can
understand what I expect from you. Likewise, I''ll have the same conversation with Skyler and River in
the future." With a tired body, he massaged his head with his fingers while exining, "As children of
the Xenos Family, you need to have a backbone, and you must all band together and help each other.
Em, I will be testing you for the next two years. If you''re not suited to be a Xenos, I won''t let you
stay with us anymore."
Shocked, Em exined, "So, this is what you meant earlier. I understand. You can rest assured that I
won''t dive too deep into my past affinities and memories, nor would I hesitate when making my choice.
If I were raised by the Xenoses, then the Xenos Family… You, Mother, Skyler, and River have my
absolute trust! That also means that if the Yonder Family and Xenos Family were to get into a dispute, I
will stand by the Xenos Family and protect their benefits."
Shawn nodded in satisfaction when he saw how smart and understanding the young man was. "Great.
I''m sure they''ll treat you the same way."
Em was taken aback. His eyes widened as he stared at the indifferent man sitting before him like he
had everything under his control. "You…"
"To us, you''re family too. Since Iid my expectations, of course, I''ll expect them to do the same. I won''t
favor one child over the other."
After saying that, Shawn closed his eyes to rest. He had been in Em''s shoes and was also
abandoned, so he knew Em''s thoughts and concerns. As a parent, he was doing his job to make him
feel at ease.
At the same time, he was trying to confirm Em''s thoughts.
In the past, Shawn would not have bothered to do such a thing as he had never thought he would need
to ease a child. However, his wife had chosen him, so as someone who was forced to be the
child''s father, it was in his best interest to help the kid. Also, he should see Em as his own and teach
him with care.
He had his children but would not favor one over the others. He hoped that Em could be an
excellent person who could take charge on his own and help the Xenos Family. To prevent Em from
feeling inferior, Shawn had to train a separate force for him. However, those were just afterthoughts as
he had already made a decision.
Em carefully asked, "Where are we going?"
"Em, I wee you to my world."
