He had no right to say that! Who was he to accuse me? I didn't stab myself in the past, did I?

There were many times when I wished to stab Shawn back, but when the time finally came, I wasafraid and felt bad to do it to him.

I stopped in front of him and began, "Shawn."

The man before me was no longer 'Sunny' to me.

He had a stall stature, and I had to look up to meet his eyes.

He slightly lowered his head and returned my gaze with a neutral look. I found myself wanting to saysomething to him, but words were unnecessary at the moment.

My head was spinning as I got closer to him and pointed the tip at his abdomen. He stayed put, and itwas irritating to see the fearless look on his face. It was as if he affirmed that I wouldn't hurt him in thefirst place.

"Ray, I deserve it."

Even he knew he deserved payback.

But I no longer wanted to do it.

I wanted him to live in guilt for the rest of his life.

My head began to swim. My steps were light, and I could no longer stand still on my feet. I wanted toretreat to Anthony's side, but my body was quickly falling toward the ground. Shawn reacted in timeand held me in his arms, though his voice was still cold when he asked, "What's wrong?"

Since he left Eldham for Finland, he had little contact with me during that period and rarely replied tomy message. However, he always waited for me to bid him goodnight before he went to sleep. I wasextremely happy back then.

I was sure I found myself a man whom I could depend on for the rest of my life, but what he did amonth ago jolted me awake from the dream.

It had been two months. Two months after he left Eldham, I was once again leaning against him in suchproximity. When I was enveloped in his fresh odor, my body trembled violently.

I felt like I was standing on the thin ice of a frozen sea. One false move would make a crack on the thinsurface and spread them further away. I was destined to fall into the sea and drown in the freezingwater until the water filled my lungs and I could no longer breathe.

I feebly rested my chin on Shawn's shoulder. Anthony was worriedly calling out to me when Shawnasked in a cold tone, "What's wrong with her?"

Before this, I ordered Anthony to never spill my condition to anyone. Thus, he gave the other man aperfunctory explanation. "Somebody kicked Miss in the head before, which is the reason she feelsdizzy all the time. It might have something to do with the sudden change of climate and her body hasn'tadapted to the coldness. I'll get the doctor for her."

Shawn repeated after him in a trance, "She got kicked in the head."

Anthony brought a doctor with us on the way.

My eyes felt like shutting on their own will. When my eyes were closed, I could feel Shawn's fingersgently touching my cheek. It was soft and gentle but had the effect of a poison that broke me down.

I finally collapsed in his arms.

In the end, I didn't bring myself to stab him back.

I failed to do it.

Coldness enveloped my body. I kept mumbling for Joseph to ask him to fetch me thick clothing, but Icould feel somebody holding me tightly in their arms. Even so, the gesture wasn't enough to keep mewarm.

I called out for Joseph. "Are you there?"

I finally got a reply. "I'm here."

"I want to see Leo."

"Who is Leo?" asked him.

Who was it?

I couldn't remember who Leo was.

But I remembered Leo as an adorable baby.

I answered in a panic, "My child is a Leo."

I didn't get any reply after that. A sense of panic overwhelmed me as I fell into dreams, and my dreamstook me back to Felix's Villa.

My parents, Leon, Tammie, and my twins were there in the villa, but Shawn and Francesca werenowhere to be found.

I had the same dream before.

Why was I dreaming about it again?

Enormous fear was tearing at me. I tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids were heavy. It was as if I wasno longer a living person.

I already lost track of time when I woke up to replace myself sleeping on an antique bed. Somehow, I foundthe place familiar.

Taking a moment to collect myself, I remembered this place as Xenos' Villa, and the courtyardbelonged to Shawn. Feeling exhausted, I got up from bed and wore the clothes that were prepared atthe bedside. I pushed the door open and found him standing upright, facing away from the door.

The man with his back to me was wearing a suit. The black of his suit was setting off his distant profile.I wanted to close the door and retreat to the room, but I knew better than to run away from myproblems. I got out the door and shot him a question. "Why am I here?"

I used a calm voice to talk to him as if the man standing before me was merely a stranger. However,the depression and sadness deep inside of me were telling me the opposite.

At that moment, something occurred to me. I had a hard time keeping my composure when I saw him,while he watched me struggle like he was an outsider.

Outsider…

Shawn was always indifferent to many things.

It was snowing in the courtyard, and the lights in the corridor were on. He began his explanation in acool voice, "You're in terrible shape. The doctor said you need to rest and recuperate. I think the quietvilla and its beautiful scenery are good for your health, so I brought you here to stay for a while."

Suppressing the emotions that were making a wave inside my chest and my particular hatred for him, Isaid quietly, "Well, you can leave now."

Shawn stood rooted to the spot. He stayed in silence for a long time before he turned to me. Watchingme, he asked, "Speaking of the other day, if I—"

I had no idea what his words would be, but I had zero patience with his visage at the moment. As such,I stopped him impatiently. "Are you going or not?"

His brows knitted. "Ray, do you hate me?"

"Shawn, things are done between us. You made it clear the other day that you want a clean break. Howcould I ever forget about it?"

He pursed his lips as if he wanted to fight back, but he was silent until the end. His gaze turned coldwhen he looked at me like I was a stranger.

He then murmured in a low voice, "You should rest."

Once he left, I could no longer stand still. My fingers tightened around the door frame as I pulled myselfback to the bed and lay on it.

He was the one who wronged me. He was also the one who broke up with me.

I hadn't done anything wrong.

…

Shawn left the courtyard with a cold look on his face. As soon as he walked out of the door, his formeremployee called out to him, "Mr. Xenos."

He paused before replying in disinterest, "What is it?"

Joseph answered respectfully, "The 'Leo' that Miss mentioned earlier is a kid from the Yates Family andalso one of the twins born in August. Seeing them reminded Miss of her children, and they have been

on her mind ever since. I even specifically investigated their background."

Shawn scowled at the new piece of information. After that, he left the manor.

By the time he left the manor, Waylen was waiting at the door. As soon as Shawn came into view, hestrode over to his employer and reported, "Mr. Xenos, we got Alfie imprisoned in a dungeon in Europe."

Shawn parted his thin lips and inquired, "What about Colin?"

"We held them together."

Shawn had been indulging WT in doing whatever they wanted in the past because it was the firstorganization to take him in. He learned a lot in WT and used the knowledge to conquer Europe later.

To him, WT was his 'alma mater' because he 'graduated' from the organization.

But that was all.

He spared WT, not expecting it would turn its back on him.

Shawn would never expect Colin to set him up and imprison him a month ago, which was the cause ofthe misunderstanding between him and Renee.

When Shawn had nothing to comment on, Waylen added, "Mr. Xenos, Ms. Felix managed to uprootWT, and I've covered the rest for her. The organization named WT no longer exists in the world."

Shawn hummed a response. Remembering what Joseph said a moment ago, he ordered the other

man, "Have someone look into the twins from the Yates Family. If they can't replace anything—"

He continued the rest of his sentence without hesitation, "Take some of their hair and mine for apaternity test. The results will tell it all."

Waylen couldn't hide his surprise. "Mr. Xenos, are you suspecting—"

Shawn interjected coldly, "Are you questioning my order?"

Waylen could tell Shawn was in a bad mood at the moment. Hence, he immediately took the hint andhung his head. "Yes, Mr. Xenos. I'll do it right away."

After Waylen left, Shawn let his level gaze be lost in the distant clouds in the sky. Truth be told, henever for once suspected he would have anything to do with the Yates twins. However, the Yates wasslightly related to the Forgers, and Nicholas from the Forger Family was a troublesome man.

Shawn was only doing it just in case.
