Chapter 636 Our Daughter Looks Like You

That afternoon seemed to drag on forever, but it was bearable because having someone to chat withmade it more bearable. By the time evening approached, most of the people who came to pay theircondolences had left. Only a few members of the W Organization remained.

Shawn arrived late, but at least he made it. Otherwise, Aimes would surely throw a tantrum and give allof us a hard time. Thinking about Aimes' temper, I could not help but feel sorry for Kevin. However,since he had chosen to be with Aimes, he must be able to handle his temper. Maybe Kevin even foundenjoyment in it!

When Shawn arrived, he walked straight up to me. The four of us were sitting in front of my room, eachon a stool, chatting and having snacks. When he approached, Umbrella stood up and greeted him, "Mr.Xenos!" Shawn responded, "I haven't seen you in years."

Umbrella smiled and explained. "I've been living a low-profile life in a small country. My youngestdaughter was born just last month. If it weren't for Meredith's funeral, I might never have the chance tosee you again."

Shawn nodded coldly as an acknowledgment. He then turned to me and asked, "Have you beenwaiting for a long time? Wait here for two more minutes, and I'll take you home."

I obediently nodded, and Shawn left.

Kevin also left with him.

After Shawn left, Colin said, "Shawn acted as if I was transparent. Oh well, I'm leaving."

I asked while munching on the snacks, "Where are you going?"

"Nowhere in particular, just wandering around aimlessly. When I get tired of it, I'll go and replace K. Butthere's no point replaceing K. I envy Shawn."

I was puzzled and asked, "Why are you suddenly envious of him?"

"I also envy Umbrella. You guys have all settled down and started families. You guys are no longeralone, but I'm still a wandering old soul!"

I corrected him. "That's not how you use the phrase 'wandering old soul.'"

Full of curiosity, Colin asked, "Did I use the phrase incorrectly?"

I made something up on the spot and said, "You're a lone warrior."

"That's indeed more interesting than being a wandering old soul."

Umbrella asked him with concern, "Don't you plan to settle down? You're already 37 years old. It's timeto settle down with a woman."

Colin was surprised and asked, "I'm 37?"

"Don't you remember how old you are?"

Colin sighed as he said, "I forgot. After all these years of ups and downs, how can I remember suchdetails? Since you say that I'm 37, then that's probably right. But am I really that old?"

Umbrella rolled his eyes at Colin and asked, "Don't you plan on getting married?"

Colin denied. "Marriage means no freedom. I don't plan on settling down, but I can replace a woman tohave a child."

Umbrella responded directly, "Forget about it. Don't harm any more girls. You've probably causedenough trouble for countless girls over the years."

Colin sneered, "Will I be any worse than Robert?"

I became interested and asked, "Do you know Robert?"

Mentioning Robert reminded me of Petala.

She used to be known as Robina.

But she changed her name later.

Did she change her name to avoid Robert?

"We're all in the same social circle, so it's hard not to know each other. Robert is far worse than me. Idon't care about a woman's virginity, but Robert has a strong obsession with it. He only sleeps withvirgins. Not just one, but multiple at a time! And he never sleeps with the same woman again. When itcomes to harming girls, he surpasses me in every way!"

I was well aware of Robert's notorious behavior.

"Well, I'm leaving."

After that, Colin left.

Umbrella also bid farewell to me and left.

A few minutes later, Shawn came out of the main hall and came straight to my side. I stood up andasked, "Are we going home?"

"Yes. I have to work overtime later."

I never disturb him when he was busy.

"Oh, is Kevin not leaving with us?"

Shawn said indifferently, "Don't worry about him."

I left with Shawn. In the car, he noticed that I was feeling down and put his arm around my shoulder,and I said, "I know you've been bored these few days. After I deal with the matters here, we'll go backto Bryxton, and I'll spend more time with you."

Shawn's voice was warm and gentle.

I shook my head. "It's not because I'm bored."

Shawn used his slender fingers to tidy up my messy hair and lightly brushed my cheek, asking, "What'sthe matter then?"

"I want to help you. Can I join you at work tomorrow? I can help. Don't underestimate me, Shawn. Iused to support the Felix Family on my own. I can handle the tasks that you're doing."

Shawn smiled warmly and asked, "Are you that capable?"

"I have a good understanding of finance, management, and investments."

Shawn said, "You're indeed very capable."

"So, will you take me with you tomorrow?"

Shawn replied warmly, "Let me think about it."

Is there a need to think about it again?

"Do you think I'm flighty?"

Shawn replied, "Never."

"Oh."

"Ray, take care of the two children in the morning, and then come replace me at the company in theafternoon. I'll teach you how to be a manager, alright?"

After a pause, Shawn added, "A manager of the Xenos Family."

"Almost all the affairs are handled by Anthony." I covered my face.

"Yes, but you should have to understand what's going on as well," Shawn replied.

Confidently, I said, "I know how to be a manager."

"I know you do. I'll just be sharing some of my experiences with you," he said.

I hugged Shawn's neck and kissed his cheek. "Don't spend too much time teaching me. I genuinelywant to lessen your burden."

Shawn's eyes flickered. "I don't want you to spend too much time on work. If you're willing to assist me,I'm more than happy, but I don't want you to be tired because of me."

Shawn was worried that I would be tired.

I leaned on his shoulder. "I won't be tired."

He hugged me and suddenly said, "Witch."

His palm slowly rubbed against my lower back.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

His voice became husky. "Don't move. Let me hug you."

Shawn sent me back to the villa and was about to leave when I asked him in anticipation, "Stay andhave dinner with us. It's also nice to spend time with the children. I'll cook later. What do you want toeat tonight?"

Shawn was silent for a moment and then said, "Up to you."

He agreed to stay for dinner.

After he got out of the car, I linked my arm with his, and we walked back to the villa. Eins and Zweicame to greet us. I took Skyler from the nanny's arms and handed him to Shawn. Shawn placed him inhis embrace then took River from the nanny's arms as he said, "You may leave. We'll take care of thechildren."

The two nannies went to the backyard. I did not see Eilam when I entered. He was probably in hisroom. I wanted to call him downstairs, but I did not want to disturb him. I planned to call him when themeal is ready.

I went to the kitchen to cook while Shawn looked after the children in the living room. Occasionally, Istole glances at them. He was not too affectionate with the children, but he was not cold either. Rivercrawled by his feet, playfully tugging at his pants with her tiny hands. He bent down slightly, seeminglyobserving her, while Skyler happily played with his pacifier.

I averted my gaze and focused on cooking. When it was almost done, I heard Shawn suddenly say,"Our daughter looks like you."

So he had been observing her?
