Chapter 264

When the man heard my words, it seemed to have struck a nerve in him as he stepped back weakly.Nicholas, who had always been a strong person, looked at me with reddened eyes. I felt upset andsaid, "You have crossed the line!"

He was pushing my limits!

Seeing how upset I was, he quickly lowered his voice and cooed, saying, "Let's deal with the matter infront of us first, okay, Ree?"

What he meant was my children.

Hearing his words, I quickly ran away, and he followed me. When I was about to get into the car, hecalled out to me, "Ree."

However, I ignored him and drove away. After a few minutes, I stopped by the roadside and calledBenedict. When he didn't pick up the call, I quickly rushed back to the villa and looked for Joseph.Then, the both of us arrived at the villa on the hill via helicopter.

As usual, Nicholas' villa was still lively. The children were playing together, but I didn't see the twins.Perhaps they are inside the house, I thought.

As I walked closer to the building nervously, the nanny noticed and approached me while holding aninfant. Then, she said, "This is Scorpio."

The child was only about four months old.

"Where's Leo?" I pursed my lips and asked dryly.

"I'm not sure. After I came back from the New Year's holiday, I didn't see either Leo or Leonard. I askedMadam Yates, and she told me that they're living with their parents at this moment," the nannyexplained.

Hearing her words, I felt my heart tremble. Their parents…

"Are they in Ashere?" I asked hurriedly.

"I'm not sure," replied the nanny as she shook her head.

"Is Old Master Yates at home?" I asked frantically.

Knowing that Leo and Leonard were my children, I was delighted and wanted to meet them as soon aspossible. I want to hug them, caress their faces, squeeze their tiny hands, and breastfeed them asmothers do. Breastfeed… I can't do it anymore, though. I don't even have the right to breastfeed them.Thinking about it, I felt devastated.

"No, Old Master Yates is still in Ashere."

Since I couldn't contact him at the moment, I couldn't ask about my children's whereabouts. Hence, Iasked again, "Where is Madam Yates? Is she at home?"

"She'll be here by tomorrow."

However, I couldn't wait until the next day since I knew about them. As such, I turned around andordered Joseph, "Prepare to go to Ashere."

By the time I arrived at Ashere with Joseph, it was already nighttime. Benedict was having his dinnerwhen I came to Yates Residence and asked for him. Seeing me there, he looked confused, so I askedstraightforwardly where my children were. When he heard my words, he replied hesitantly, "They arenot here."

My heart shook when I heard his answer. "Where are they, then?" Nothing happened to them, right?

"They were taken away by Shawn's men a week ago," replied Benedict.

Hearing his words, I was dumbstruck and asked, "What's that supposed to mean?" Did Shawn knowabout their existence all along? If so, why didn't he tell me anything? He knows that I care a lot aboutthem!

"The kids are at Shawn's place," said Benedict.

When I snapped back to my senses, I said, "Thank you."

Although I was unsure why Nicholas would let the Yates raise my children, I had to thank Benedict forhelping me raise my children for such a long time. Moreover, he even told me about their whereabouts.

With that, Joseph and I left the Yates Residence in a hurry. When we were on the helicopter, he told meabout Shawn's whereabouts. "Mr. Xenos is at the villa in Espoo."

Why is he in Finland again? Well, he does spend most of his time in Finland.

"Is he there alone?" I asked.

"I'm not sure. I only know so much," replied Joseph.

Since I was still traumatized by Colin's kidnapping, I was on high alert and asked Joseph to becautious.

Five hours had passed by the time we got to the villa in Espoo, Finland. Given the time difference, itwas still the same hour I went looking for Benedict.

The fact that Finland wasn't snowing was rare, and the lights in Shawn's villa were on. The men whoguarded the front door were the same ones sent to protect me by the Xenos. Although I was hesitant tostep forward, I missed my children dearly. Thus, I braved myself and knocked on the door, but no onereplied. I knew that Shawn was ignoring me at this moment.

After thinking for a while, I sent a text to Kevin.

'Can you add me into the group chat, Kev?' I wrote.

Kev replied, 'Why have you changed your mind?'

'Please, Kev!' I responded.

Then, Kevin invited me into the group, and I sent a text in the group to Shawn. 'The weather in Finlandis kind of cold, Sunny.'

Shawn was still ignoring me.

I sent another text. 'I'm cold, Sunny.'

Shawn always pampered me, so his heart would soften if I were to apologize to him in front of hisfriends. However, Shawn still didn't reply to my message.

At that moment, I blinked my teary eyes. Suddenly, I felt the wind in Finland was strong, and theweather was even colder compared to when it snowed. At the same time, I could feel the wound on myabdomen beginning to hurt. Just as I was going to send another message to the group, Morgan sent avideo all of a sudden—it was the one where I had slapped Nicholas at his company! However, that wasnot the point! The point was the words I had said!

Although my words seemed cruel, I was actually talking about the feelings I had for Nicholas before.This video would worsen my relationship with Shawn, and he would be more unwilling to see me.However, my children were in his hands, and I had to see him!

Just as I was feeling annoyed, Kevin sent a message to the group. 'What rubbish are you sending? I'mgoing to kick you out of the group.'

He retorted Morgan without hesitation!

Suddenly, the group went dead silent. Just when I thought Shawn would not want to see me, he sent aset of numbers to the group. '9977.'

'What is this, Sunny?' Kev asked in confusion.

Although they didn't know about the numbers, I knew what it was. In the end, Shawn still became soft-hearted.

After I entered the password of the villa and entered the building, I realized that the living room wasempty. Then, I took off my shoes and walked up the stairs nervously. By the study room entrance, I sawShawn journaling. His head was slightly lowered as he grabbed the pen and scribbled on the paper. Hewas so focused!

"Sunny," I called out gently.

Shawn was silent.

Hence, I called out again, "Sunny."

He was still quiet.

I knew he was still upset with me, and my intentions were impure. I only wanted to ask him about mychildren's whereabouts and have a look at them. Even if they refused to let me take my children away, Iwas fine with it since I was unsuited to become a mother. After all, how could a severely ill person be amother?

Thinking about it, I suppressed my emotions and said, "I'm sorry, Sunny."

It was my fault for not showing up that night, after all.

Suddenly, he placed the pen down and asked, "What did you do wrong?"

Looking at his burning gaze, I felt my heart tremble and lowered my head, not daring to say anything. Iwas scared to death!

Seeing how I was silent, Shawn walked toward me and stood in front of me. He was tall, almostcovering me with his whole body. Then, he gripped my chin with two fingers and forced me to meet hisdark gaze.

"Tell me. What did you do wrong?" he said stubbornly.

This was the first time Shawn had ever done such a frivolous thing to me. Just as I looked at himdazedly, I heard his cold voice pierce into my heart. "Renee, do you think I have no boundaries andwould let you cross the line repeatedly?"

His words indicated that he would not forgive me, and I was going to explain, but I realized I didn'tknow where to start.

After being momentarily stunned, I asked, "Where are the kids?"

Suddenly, he released his grip and looked at me gloomily as he spoke. "Without them, you wouldn'thave stepped into this place, would you?"
