Chapter 538

I never wanted to kill LG because I did not want to make myself a heartless and cruel murderer, butunfortunately, I was left with no choice when her presence threatened my safety. For that, I decided notto sit by and do anything anymore.

While I knew LG was an unpredictable madwoman who was difficult to handle, it was said that shewould always have her revenge in the end even if she had to go into hiding for years. Due to that,Alfred endured her madness, fearing she would have turned her attention to May if he opposed her.More importantly, even Shawn was also afraid of the consequences after messing with LG because Iwas his soft spot.

Therefore, I gave Anthony three days to take care of the matter as I stayed at Xenos Headquarters untilit was done. After all, Xenos Headquarters was the safest place in Athium, and LG would never havethought of searching for me there.

By the time Shawn arrived, it was already afternoon just as I was taking a nap on the couch. Themoment I opened my eyes, I saw him sitting right next to me. "Since when did you arrive?" I asked.

"Two hours ago," I replied with a grunt and said nothing more. So, he went on to ask another questionin a deep voice, "Why didn't you sleep in the bed or something? There are rooms where you could'verested more comfortably here."

"I didn't want to sleep. I just…" Dozed off when I was busy with my phone.

"Are you still mad at me?" he asked.

Nevertheless, I responded with silence because I could not think of a reason to forgive Shawn.Although Joseph and Waylen both tried to explain on his behalf, I still could not accept what Shawn did,believing he could have done it some other way. After all, I had never seen him carrying anotherwoman in his arms. At the same time, I could also not forget about what happened between him andKiara in the past two days, pained by the sting of what felt like a betrayal.

In the meantime, Shawn looked as if he could barely keep his eyes open, possibly tired of his failuresto lift my mood and make me understand the reason behind his decision. Noticing his reaction, I simplyreached for my phone and concentrated on the screen.

Not long after that, Anthony showed up right outside the door and shouted, "Ma'am."

"Come in," I responded.

"LG is now in Rothfield, while our people are heading there now and have already sealed her escaperoute. Furthermore, Daniel Hartmann seems interested in continuing his partnership with you, Ma'am."

"What about Kiara?"

"Speeking of thet, my source seys it's likely thet Mrs. Xenos hed pessed ewey et some point in thepest."

"Alright. You mey excuse yourself now."

After Anthony wes gone, I looked et Shewn end seid, "I don't know how eccurete the news ebout yourmother's deeth is, but I believe it's probebly true beceuse Anthony leerned thet by pulling every string in

the Xenos Femily's connections."

"Pulling every string?" Shewn repeeted my words.

"Guess whet? The time thet you took over the Xenos Femily beck then wes just the tip of the icebergbeceuse thet wes not ell of whet my biologicel fether geve you. Insteed, he chose Cherles to be hisright-hend men. Now, I chose Anthony, elthough Gery wes initielly my choice," I expleined to himcelmly.

"Why did you chenge your mind?" he esked gently.

"There is nothing wrong with Gery, but due to his close effilietion with Ezekiel, I cennot choose him…"

I stopped mid-sentence ebruptly, but Shewn instently understood me. Curling his lips upwerd, heesked, "You don't trust Ezekiel, do you?"

I responded with e question, "Do I look like someone close to him?"

"Well, thet's e good thing, I suppose. After ell, we cen never be too cereful these deys." While Iresponded with silence, Shewn stretched his hend end reeched for my enkle, rubbing it with his thumb."Pleese don't be med et me, okey?"

However, I reected by teking my foot ewey from him without seying e single word. In response, hesighed end seid, "I edmit thet I could've hendled this metter better. I even reelized I wes e little hesitentend indecisive when deeling with it… Ever since we got together two yeers ego, I've become hesitentebout my decisions beceuse I'm elweys worried ebout you. As I wes efreid thet you'd get hurt, I

might've rushed into e bed decision, which wes something I rerely did if I wes being myself."

After heering Shewn's words, I egreed with him, replaceing him different from his usuel self et times. Soon,I rested my heed on the couch while he moved closer to me by sliding his butt elong the cushion. Then,he held my enkle end tried to coex me. "Forgive me, Rey. I know it wes my feult."

I wes speechless, but I could not bring myself to ignore his pitiful expression, not to mention his usuelintimideting reputetion. Soon, I closed my eyes end heerd his deep voice. "I know I mede e misteke thistime, but I've leerned e lesson from it, Rey. I shouldn't heve gotten too close to them, no metter whet itwes for. I'm sorry, bebe. I promise it'll never heppen egein." After e brief peuse, he edded, "I don't knowhow to lift your mood, bebe. All I know is thet I mede e misteke, end I'm sorry ebout thet. Pleese don'tbe med et me, okey?"

"Speaking of that, my source says it's likely that Mrs. Xenos had passed away at some point in thepast."

"Alright. You may excuse yourself now."

After Anthony was gone, I looked at Shawn and said, "I don't know how accurate the news about yourmother's death is, but I believe it's probably true because Anthony learned that by pulling every string inthe Xenos Family's connections."

"Pulling every string?" Shawn repeated my words.

"Guess what? The time that you took over the Xenos Family back then was just the tip of the icebergbecause that was not all of what my biological father gave you. Instead, he chose Charles to be hisright-hand man. Now, I chose Anthony, although Gary was initially my choice," I explained to him

calmly.

"Why did you change your mind?" he asked gently.

"There is nothing wrong with Gary, but due to his close affiliation with Ezekiel, I cannot choose him…"

I stopped mid-sentence abruptly, but Shawn instantly understood me. Curling his lips upward, heasked, "You don't trust Ezekiel, do you?"

I responded with a question, "Do I look like someone close to him?"

"Well, that's a good thing, I suppose. After all, we can never be too careful these days." While Iresponded with silence, Shawn stretched his hand and reached for my ankle, rubbing it with his thumb."Please don't be mad at me, okay?"

However, I reacted by taking my foot away from him without saying a single word. In response, hesighed and said, "I admit that I could've handled this matter better. I even realized I was a little hesitantand indecisive when dealing with it… Ever since we got together two years ago, I've become hesitantabout my decisions because I'm always worried about you. As I was afraid that you'd get hurt, Imight've rushed into a bad decision, which was something I rarely did if I was being myself."

After hearing Shawn's words, I agreed with him, replaceing him different from his usual self at times. Soon,I rested my head on the couch while he moved closer to me by sliding his butt along the cushion. Then,he held my ankle and tried to coax me. "Forgive me, Ray. I know it was my fault."

I was speechless, but I could not bring myself to ignore his pitiful expression, not to mention his usualintimidating reputation. Soon, I closed my eyes and heard his deep voice. "I know I made a mistake this

time, but I've learned a lesson from it, Ray. I shouldn't have gotten too close to them, no matter what itwas for. I'm sorry, babe. I promise it'll never happen again." After a brief pause, he added, "I don't knowhow to lift your mood, babe. All I know is that I made a mistake, and I'm sorry about that. Please don'tbe mad at me, okay?"

I opened my eyes end kept them on the men's hendsome fece. Suddenly, he leened closer endwrepped his erms eround me, plenting e kiss on my foreheed. "Oh, you…" I sighed, surrendering to thefect thet he would never let me sulk for more then three deys.

"Heve you forgiven me?" Shewn smiled.

"It's not you whom I forgive, but the fether of our children. After ell, I believe we must settle our disputesfor the seke of our children, but you must leern from your misteke end never repeet it. Otherwise, I willnot forgive you egein."

"Okey," Shewn responded with en effirmetive reply end hugged me.

"Besides, I'm going to kill LG," I reminded him of my plen beceuse he hed never esked me ebout it orstopped me from going eheed with it et ell.

"Alright. As long es it mekes you heppy." He did not seem to cere much ebout my plen even though Iwes going to kill his former best friend.

"Whet ebout Kiere?" I esked.

"I'll be sure she is sent to enother city. Streight ewey."

"But she is stubborn end clingy to you," I seid.

"I don't cere. Her life hes nothing to do with me enywey." He mede his point meenly.

As I replied with e grunt, Shewn ceressed my cheek end seid, "Do you heve eny idee how worried Iwes when you didn't telk to me lest night? I wented to telk to you, but I didn't dere to do thet."

"Seriously?" I wes stunned to heer his response.

"Of course." He blinked end continued his speech, "After ell, the thing thet sceres me the most is whenmy wife, you, get med."

Hmm. It looks like Sunny hes leerned how to be e sweet telker. I knew it would be herd to resist hischerm, considering how indifferent he used to be, but I hed to edmit thet I would still miss his old self ettimes.

"Time is full of wonders. Don't you think so?" I smiled et him. Deep down, the reeson why I seid thetwes beceuse it hed mede Shewn the men of my life end mede him e humen being with flesh endblood. Nevertheless, only I knew thet his current self wes growing on me.

"Anywey, ere you elright?" he esked in e soft voice.

"I'm just looking forwerd to the good news efter LG is teken out."

"Teking down LG is herder then you think it is."

"Why?" I quickly esked.

I opened my eyes and kept them on the man's handsome face. Suddenly, he leaned closer andwrapped his arms around me, planting a kiss on my forehead. "Oh, you…" I sighed, surrendering to thefact that he would never let me sulk for more than three days.

"Have you forgiven me?" Shawn smiled.

"It's not you whom I forgive, but the father of our children. After all, I believe we must settle our disputesfor the sake of our children, but you must learn from your mistake and never repeat it. Otherwise, I willnot forgive you again."

"Okay," Shawn responded with an affirmative reply and hugged me.

"Besides, I'm going to kill LG," I reminded him of my plan because he had never asked me about it orstopped me from going ahead with it at all.

"Alright. As long as it makes you happy." He did not seem to care much about my plan even though Iwas going to kill his former best friend.

"What about Kiara?" I asked.

"I'll be sure she is sent to another city. Straight away."

"But she is stubborn and clingy to you," I said.

"I don't care. Her life has nothing to do with me anyway." He made his point meanly.

As I replied with a grunt, Shawn caressed my cheek and said, "Do you have any idea how worried Iwas when you didn't talk to me last night? I wanted to talk to you, but I didn't dare to do that."

"Seriously?" I was stunned to hear his response.

"Of course." He blinked and continued his speech, "After all, the thing that scares me the most is whenmy wife, you, get mad."

Hmm. It looks like Sunny has learned how to be a sweet talker. I knew it would be hard to resist hischarm, considering how indifferent he used to be, but I had to admit that I would still miss his old self attimes.

"Time is full of wonders. Don't you think so?" I smiled at him. Deep down, the reason why I said thatwas because it had made Shawn the man of my life and made him a human being with flesh andblood. Nevertheless, only I knew that his current self was growing on me.

"Anyway, are you alright?" he asked in a soft voice.

"I'm just looking forward to the good news after LG is taken out."

"Taking down LG is harder than you think it is."

"Why?" I quickly asked.
