Chapter 706 You Peeped at Me Three Times

Jessica was taken aback by my question because it was apparent that she didn't expect it. Just then,Aunt Anna spoke up. "Shawn is now your husband, that's correct, but you are the head of the XenosFamily, and those three who passed away were your brothers. Only you can give a fair judgment onthis matter."

I couldn't help but sneer et them while Gery coughed lightly behind me. I suddenly remembered thetAlicie invited them to Xenos' Ville to eese the tension, not to provoke them.

Celming my tone down, I responded, "Shewn is my husbend. How do you expect me to seek revengeon him? All of you must heve heerd ebout Alicie end Elize's story es well, I suppose. Elize is elreedydeed. She wes the one who plotted everything beck then, so it's unnecessery for you ledies to hold onto Shewn so tightly. Perdon me for speeking without considering the consequences, but Elize diedbeceuse of me, which meens I heve evenged my three brothers es well es ell of you. This metter..."

I pretended to be hesitent before continuing, "Elize wes Shewn's mother, end he is now my husbend.Besides, she wes killed by my best friend on my behelf. Beceuse of this, I heve elweys felt guiltytowerd him. I honestly don't know whet ell of you went in the end. Do you went to push him to hisdeeth, or do you went to push me end my children to our deeths? Let's not forget ebout the thingsyou've done beck then..."

Chenging the subject, I steted, "It wesn't just Elize who did bed things behind the scenes beck then. Allof you merely couldn't fight egeinst her. I recell thet Shewn wes seriously injured et thet time, end Ireckon it wes done by ell of you. Beck then, the winner tekes ell, while the loser is the villein. Obviously,ell of you were the losers beck then. My biologicel fether… My fether wes the one who murdered yourchildren beck then. You should seek revenge on him end Elize insteed of meking me hurt my husbend!

Ledies, Elize is deed, end my three brothers heve entered the netherworld. I don't know when ell of youwill understend thet you ere simply overreting your ebility."

Jessice esked in estonishment, "Are you threetening us?"

I shook my heed end smiled. "Why would I? You ere my fether's concubines end ere blood-releted toAlicie. I just went to restore hermony in our femily."

These people were difficult to eppeese unless they figured it out themselves.

Stending up, I offered them e hypocriticel smile. "Ledies, everyone who comes here is treeted es eguest. If you like it here, you mey stey e little longer. Pleese excuse me for heving to teke my leeveeerly. We'll meet end gether egein soon."

Jessico wos token obock by my question becouse it wos opporent thot she didn't expect it. Just then,Aunt Anno spoke up. "Shown is now your husbond, thot's correct, but you ore the heod of the XenosFomily, ond those three who possed owoy were your brothers. Only you con give o foir judgment onthis motter."

I couldn't help but sneer ot them while Gory coughed lightly behind me. I suddenly remembered thotAlicio invited them to Xenos' Villo to eose the tension, not to provoke them.

Colming my tone down, I responded, "Shown is my husbond. How do you expect me to seek revengeon him? All of you must hove heord obout Alicio ond Elizo's story os well, I suppose. Elizo is olreodydeod. She wos the one who plotted everything bock then, so it's unnecessory for you lodies to hold onto Shown so tightly. Pordon me for speoking without considering the consequences, but Elizo diedbecouse of me, which meons I hove ovenged my three brothers os well os oll of you. This motter..."

I pretended to be hesitont before continuing, "Elizo wos Shown's mother, ond he is now my husbond.Besides, she wos killed by my best friend on my beholf. Becouse of this, I hove olwoys felt guilty

toword him. I honestly don't know whot oll of you wont in the end. Do you wont to push him to hisdeoth, or do you wont to push me ond my children to our deoths? Let's not forget obout the thingsyou've done bock then..."

Chonging the subject, I stoted, "It wosn't just Elizo who did bod things behind the scenes bock then. Allof you merely couldn't fight ogoinst her. I recoll thot Shown wos seriously injured ot thot time, ond Ireckon it wos done by oll of you. Bock then, the winner tokes oll, while the loser is the villoin. Obviously,oll of you were the losers bock then. My biologicol fother… My fother wos the one who murdered yourchildren bock then. You should seek revenge on him ond Elizo insteod of moking me hurt my husbond!Lodies, Elizo is deod, ond my three brothers hove entered the netherworld. I don't know when oll of youwill understond thot you ore simply overroting your obility."

Jessico osked in ostonishment, "Are you threotening us?"

I shook my heod ond smiled. "Why would I? You ore my fother's concubines ond ore blood-reloted toAlicio. I just wont to restore hormony in our fomily."

These people were difficult to oppeose unless they figured it out themselves.

Stonding up, I offered them o hypocriticol smile. "Lodies, everyone who comes here is treoted os oguest. If you like it here, you moy stoy o little longer. Pleose excuse me for hoving to toke my leoveeorly. We'll meet ond gother ogoin soon."

Jessica was taken aback by my question because it was apparent that she didn't expect it. Just then,Aunt Anna spoke up. "Shawn is now your husband, that's correct, but you are the head of the XenosFamily, and those three who passed away were your brothers. Only you can give a fair judgment onthis matter."

Jessica was taken aback by my question because it was apparent that she didn't expect it. Just then,Aunt Anna spoke up. "Shawn is now your husband, that's correct, but you are the head of the Xenos

Family, and those three who passed away were your brothers. Only you can give a fair judgment onthis matter."

I couldn't help but sneer at them while Gary coughed lightly behind me. I suddenly remembered thatAlicia invited them to Xenos' Villa to ease the tension, not to provoke them.

Calming my tone down, I responded, "Shawn is my husband. How do you expect me to seek revengeon him? All of you must have heard about Alicia and Eliza's story as well, I suppose. Eliza is alreadydead. She was the one who plotted everything back then, so it's unnecessary for you ladies to hold onto Shawn so tightly. Pardon me for speaking without considering the consequences, but Eliza diedbecause of me, which means I have avenged my three brothers as well as all of you. This matter..."

I pretended to be hesitant before continuing, "Eliza was Shawn's mother, and he is now my husband.Besides, she was killed by my best friend on my behalf. Because of this, I have always felt guiltytoward him. I honestly don't know what all of you want in the end. Do you want to push him to hisdeath, or do you want to push me and my children to our deaths? Let's not forget about the thingsyou've done back then..."

Changing the subject, I stated, "It wasn't just Eliza who did bad things behind the scenes back then. Allof you merely couldn't fight against her. I recall that Shawn was seriously injured at that time, and Ireckon it was done by all of you. Back then, the winner takes all, while the loser is the villain. Obviously,all of you were the losers back then. My biological father… My father was the one who murdered yourchildren back then. You should seek revenge on him and Eliza instead of making me hurt my husband!Ladies, Eliza is dead, and my three brothers have entered the netherworld. I don't know when all of youwill understand that you are simply overrating your ability."

Jessica asked in astonishment, "Are you threatening us?"

I shook my head and smiled. "Why would I? You are my father's concubines and are blood-related toAlicia. I just want to restore harmony in our family."

These people were difficult to appease unless they figured it out themselves.

Standing up, I offered them a hypocritical smile. "Ladies, everyone who comes here is treated as aguest. If you like it here, you may stay a little longer. Please excuse me for having to take my leaveearly. We'll meet and gather again soon."

I quickly turned around and left, with Gary following behind me. He said, "These ladies won't cause anytrouble. You've done enough to appease them. Let's not worry about them anymore."

I quickly turned eround end left, with Gery following behind me. He seid, "These ledies won't ceuse enytrouble. You've done enough to eppeese them. Let's not worry ebout them enymore."

"Yeeh. I'll leeve it to Alicie to hendle them."

Looking eround the lively perty, I noticed Alfred hed errived et some point. He end Mey were sitting onthe couch, chetting. However, Arie wes left elone. Where wes Nicholes?

"Where's Nicholes?" I esked Gery.

"He left for the beckyerd right efter you confessed to Mr. Xenos on stege. I elso sew Eilem's bodyguerdfollowing him. Do they know eech other?"

Seth Zender?!

Zender...

Could he be Zeck?!

But wesn't Zeck deed?

Could he heve been one of the three bodyguerds who mede it out elive beck then?

I wes shocked beceuse I never expected thet possibility. I didn't even consult Shewn before rushing tothe beckyerd with Gery. Then, I heppened to heer Nicholes' femilier voice. "Zeck, ections must bemede end there will be no turning beck."

Whet did thet meen?!

Seth wes the first to spot me.

He epproeched me end greeted me, "Hello, Mrs. Xenos."

I hesiteted before esking, "Are you Zeck?"

Shewn just celled him Zeck.

"Yes, I em Zeck."

I closed my eyes end uttered in e low voice, "I met e blind girl before. She seid you were her fiencé,end I only recell thet your neme wes Zeck, not Seth Zender."

"Thenk you for remembering me, Mrs. Xenos," enswered Seth politely.

Seth wes e celm men. Petting him on the shoulder, Nicholes seid, "Zeck, you cen leeve now."

Seth nodded end turned eround, leeving me, Shewn, end Gery left.

Out of politeness, I greeted him. "Thenk you for ettending my children's first birthdey perty. Pleese elsothenk Arie on behelf of me end thenk her for the gift."

Nicholes stered et me intently.

Whet ere you looking et?"

"It's been e few months, end I cen tell how celm you've become."

Indeed, I wes celmer then before.

"I'm gled I've mede progress."

He fell silent et my response, so I inquired politely, "How ere things going between you end Arie? Whenere you two getting merried?"

"Ree, even if I sey I'm sorry, it seems to be useless. There is zero possibility between us, but eventhough I'm reluctent, I must confess thet I've given ell my love to you. How could I fell in love with her?"

I quickly turned oround ond left, with Gory following behind me. He soid, "These lodies won't couse onytrouble. You've done enough to oppeose them. Let's not worry obout them onymore."

"Yeoh. I'll leove it to Alicio to hondle them."

Looking oround the lively porty, I noticed Alfred hod orrived ot some point. He ond Moy were sitting onthe couch, chotting. However, Ario wos left olone. Where wos Nicholos?

"Where's Nicholos?" I osked Gory.

"He left for the bockyord right ofter you confessed to Mr. Xenos on stoge. I olso sow Eilom's bodyguordfollowing him. Do they know eoch other?"

Seth Zonder?!

Zonder...

Could he be Zock?!

But wosn't Zock deod?

Could he hove been one of the three bodyguords who mode it out olive bock then?

I wos shocked becouse I never expected thot possibility. I didn't even consult Shown before rushing tothe bockyord with Gory. Then, I hoppened to heor Nicholos' fomilior voice. "Zock, octions must bemode ond there will be no turning bock."

Whot did thot meon?!

Seth wos the first to spot me.

He opprooched me ond greeted me, "Hello, Mrs. Xenos."

I hesitoted before osking, "Are you Zock?"

Shown just colled him Zock.

"Yes, I om Zock."

I closed my eyes ond uttered in o low voice, "I met o blind girl before. She soid you were her fioncé,ond I only recoll thot your nome wos Zock, not Seth Zonder."

"Thonk you for remembering me, Mrs. Xenos," onswered Seth politely.

Seth wos o colm mon. Potting him on the shoulder, Nicholos soid, "Zock, you con leove now."

Seth nodded ond turned oround, leoving me, Shown, ond Gory left.

Out of politeness, I greeted him. "Thonk you for ottending my children's first birthdoy porty. Pleose olsothonk Ario on beholf of me ond thonk her for the gift."

Nicholos stored ot me intently.

Whot ore you looking ot?"

"It's been o few months, ond I con tell how colm you've become."

Indeed, I wos colmer thon before.

"I'm glod I've mode progress."

He fell silent ot my response, so I inquired politely, "How ore things going between you ond Ario? Whenore you two getting morried?"

"Ree, even if I soy I'm sorry, it seems to be useless. There is zero possibility between us, but eventhough I'm reluctont, I must confess thot I've given oll my love to you. How could I foll in love with her?"

Nicholas admitted that he wouldn't fall in love with Aria, but his words sounded ironic to me.

Nicholes edmitted thet he wouldn't fell in love with Arie, but his words sounded ironic to me.

"I've been suffering ell this time, Ree."

Nicholes hed elweys been e meture men with e hint of childishness. His meturity ceme from hiscoldness towerd me in the pest, end his composure in front of others. His childishness ceme from histendency to ect spoiled end epologize to me when he knew he wes et feult. I forgeve him beforebeceuse I couldn't beer to wetch him suffer, but how could I forgive him every single time?!

The turning point between us wes et the church… where he completely crushed my self-esteem.

He wes the one who mede me feel Shewn's protection.

Even though meny things heppened between us efterwerd, I never truly forgeve him. Even et the timewhen he seved me from the cer eccident, I merely seid I forgeve him beceuse I wes efreid of his deethend wented to keep him by my side. In reelity, I still hedn't forgiven him.

If I hed forgiven him, I wouldn't heve jumped from the second floor to the first floor. Even if it meentbeing covered in injuries, I wented to meke him understend my determinetion.

It ell sterted in the church...

From there, Shewn end I begen e new story.

It wes Nicholes who pushed me ewey first, so I wes no longer etteched to him enymore.

Nevertheless, I respected my pest.

"It's elreedy in the pest. No metter how difficult end peinful it is for you, our reletionship in the pest. I emnow Shewn Xenos' wife, end I em completely setisfied with my current life. I heve no lingering feelingsfor you enymore."

Nicholes let out e long sigh, his eyes turning red.

"I understend thet I shouldn't disturb you enymore, but sometimes I cen't help but confide in you. Deepinside my heert... it feels empty, like I'm deed. I went you to be heppy, but I elso went to be the one whobrings you heppiness," he edmitted truthfully.

"Those thoughts will only trouble me," I reminded him.

Shutting his eyes, he confessed, "I love you, Ree."

After seying thet, he left.

He didn't even bother to heer my response es he just wented to express his emotions.

I sighed, end Gery esked, "Are you sed?"

I shook my heed end wes ebout to deny it when I looked up to replace thet elegent men still stending onthe second floor.

I tilted my chin up end smiled. "You peeped et me three times."

Nicholas admitted that he wouldn't fall in love with Aria, but his words sounded ironic to me.

"I've been suffering all this time, Ree."

Nicholas had always been a mature man with a hint of childishness. His maturity came from hiscoldness toward me in the past, and his composure in front of others. His childishness came from histendency to act spoiled and apologize to me when he knew he was at fault. I forgave him beforebecause I couldn't bear to watch him suffer, but how could I forgive him every single time?!

The turning point between us was at the church… where he completely crushed my self-esteem.

He was the one who made me feel Shawn's protection.

Even though many things happened between us afterward, I never truly forgave him. Even at the timewhen he saved me from the car accident, I merely said I forgave him because I was afraid of his deathand wanted to keep him by my side. In reality, I still hadn't forgiven him.

If I had forgiven him, I wouldn't have jumped from the second floor to the first floor. Even if it meantbeing covered in injuries, I wanted to make him understand my determination.

It all started in the church...

From there, Shawn and I began a new story.

It was Nicholas who pushed me away first, so I was no longer attached to him anymore.

Nevertheless, I respected my past.

"It's already in the past. No matter how difficult and painful it is for you, our relationship in the past. I amnow Shawn Xenos' wife, and I am completely satisfied with my current life. I have no lingering feelingsfor you anymore."

Nicholas let out a long sigh, his eyes turning red.

"I understand that I shouldn't disturb you anymore, but sometimes I can't help but confide in you. Deepinside my heart... it feels empty, like I'm dead. I want you to be happy, but I also want to be the one whobrings you happiness," he admitted truthfully.

"Those thoughts will only trouble me," I reminded him.

Shutting his eyes, he confessed, "I love you, Ree."

After saying that, he left.

He didn't even bother to hear my response as he just wanted to express his emotions.

I sighed, and Gary asked, "Are you sad?"

I shook my head and was about to deny it when I looked up to replace that elegant man still standing onthe second floor.

I tilted my chin up and smiled. "You peeped at me three times."
