My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 154

It hasn't been a long time since we started dating. I've never thought about marriage, and he had never mentioned it.

But now, he was asking if I would like to marry him.

I was certain that something must've happened to him today. Then, suddenly, I remembered he had mentioned his mother…

Was that the reason for his dismal mood?

Shawn had never shown me any vulnerability before, so my heart ached slightly as I kissed his face. I implored gently, "Shawn, if something really did happen today, please tell me. I might not be able to solve your problems, but I'm still your partner. We can face the troubles together!"

His vulnerability lasted only a few moments because when he released his hold on me, he said with a relaxed expression, "It's nothing. I'll come to the school to fetch you tomorrow. Father's condition has stabilized, so we'll go back and accompany him for a few days."

Then, he held my hand and continued, "Although the Xenos Family is a cruel and merciless one, my father has always favored me because I was my mother's child. Due to this, I was always given special treatment."

Bewildered, I asked, "Are you sure it's time for me to meet your family?"

Amused, he chuckled and explained gently, "It's just a small meeting, don't be nervous. Unfortunately, my father's condition is quite serious…I don't think we'll get another opportunity to visit him again."

It was a good sign that he had become much more willing to communicate with me. I nodded my head in agreement with his suggestion.

All of a sudden, he got up and carried me to the bed. This time, he took the initiative to take off my clothes. His kisses rained tenderly over my entire body as if he were treating a precious treasure.

Right now, he was very alluring to me.

……

…

When I woke up at dawn, Shawn was no longer in bed. So, I got out of bed and changed into green-colored suspenders. It was a captivating outfit, and it exposed my shoulder blades.

After my morning ritual, I decided to put on an exquisite makeup with a light brown eyeshadow. Then, paired with some dangly earrings, I tied my hair into two buns.

When I looked into the mirror, I couldn't help but admire how pretty I was.

I knew that Shawn didn't like me wearing these types of outfits, but I wanted to tease him. I couldn't wait to see him furrow his brows in displeasure when he saw me later.

I opted to take the transit to the university instead of driving to the university, where I will be substituting for a few classes.

I arrived early as the class hadn't even begun yet and took a stroll around the place to pass some time. Then, when it was time, I entered the class punctually.

It was still the same batch of students, exclaiming, "It's only been half a year since we last saw the teacher. You've gotten even prettier! So, Ms. Felix, what will you be teaching us today?"

I smiled and replied, "Ludwig van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata."

I smiled end replied, "Ludwig ven Beethoven's Moonlight Sonete."

My first meeting with Shawn was in the middle of the night, and the moonlight shone on his face, highlighting his distinct appearance. After that encounter, there were countless nights when he would appear in front of me. Even when he did not say a single word, I felt protected when he gazed upon me.

I was grateful to be able to meet him in this lifetime.

I was grateful that my life wasn't as messed up as I thought it was.

I was grateful to receive a new life after recovering from cancer.

That includes the love I've received from him.

When the first class session ended, Shawn texted to ask me where I was. I texted back, "What's your WhatsApp number?"

He replied, "It's this number."

I've only just added his number on the app.

I had just sent him my location when a student came over to ask me some technical questions. Placing my phone down, I began to answer them one by one.

I inadvertently turned my head towards the window during the class. To my surprise, I saw Shawn waiting patiently for me as he stood outside. I met his glance with a bright smile before returning my gaze toward the class.

Just as the class was about to end, a student asked me if I could play Mariage d'amour. I had never been the one to reject their requests.

So, I sat in front of the piano, flipped through the music scores, and played the piece. When it ended, the students marveled, "Not only is Ms. Felix beautiful, but you're also skilled at playing the piano. It was great listening to Ms. Felix's performance. We can feel your happiness."

The students said they could feel my happiness.

I tilted my head to look outside the window at Shawn. He stood close to the classroom with his hands behind his back as his clear gaze fell on me.

The students followed my gaze to see Shawn as they chattered among themselves.

"I think we've seen him before."

"Ms. Felix, is he your boyfriend?

I've been a trending topic for quite a while, so some of them must've heard some rumors about me. However, none of them inquired about my private affairs.

They were extremely polite and respected my privacy.

I was delighted to receive their respect.

I smiled shyly as I introduced Shawn to them, "This is my boyfriend."

This was the first time I admitted our relationship in public. Shawn must've heard my words as he smiled slightly.

"Ms. Felix's boyfriend is so handsome."

I pursed my lips into a smile, then hurriedly said, "Let's continue the class."

The moment the lesson ended, I ran toward Shawn. Opening his arms to embrace me, he asked, "Have the class ended?"

I nodded. "It just ended."

His palm grazed on my bare back as he automatically furrowed his eyebrows, reminding me, "Next time, don't wear this outfit."

I shook my head. "I think I look pretty in this outfit."
