My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 268

Chapter 268

Before I had the time to figure it out, Shawn had already tightened his arms around my waist and rubbed me with his palm. Just as I thought he was about to do something, he whispered into my ear, "Go to sleep. I'll be here with you." His voice was deep and husky.

Hearing his words, I was momentarily stunned before saying, "Okay."

It had been a long time since Shawn had embraced me. After being surrounded by his scent, I fell asleep within minutes. When I woke up, it was almost noon. Looking at the snow pile, I felt it was around my knees' height.

When I went downstairs, I didn't see Shawn, so I went to the study room to look for him. However, there was still no sight of him to be seen.

Where could he have gone?

As I entered the study room, I flipped through the journaling he had written yesterday. At the lower bottom of the paper was a word—Makur.

Is this his alias? I'm sure Shawn has one since the Xenoses are a huge family. However, I never knew about his alias. Why did he name himself such a name? Does it have any special meaning behind it?

As I thought about it, I gently touched it with my fingers. After a while, I heard dogs barking from downstairs and went to open the window. Then, I saw Diego struggling to hold onto two German Shepherds while Shawn was standing under the roof as he stared at Diego coldly, seemingly that Diego and the dogs were unwelcome by him.

Since the dogs were huge and disobedient, Diego had a hard time holding the leashes. Then, he smiled. "What's with the face? I'm here to give you two watchdogs to avoid some terrible human being from entering your house."

Terrible human beings? Who is Diego talking about?

When Shawn heard his words, he refused. "You should save them for yourself."

"Come on. I dragged them here from a long way." Then, Diego tied their leashes against the tree by the backyard and said, "I'm going to put them here. Afterward, someone will be here to build the doghouse. Don't worry. You don't need to feed them. I have asked someone to feed them daily and bring them for a wash at the pet store."

Hearing his words, Shawn was speechless. Then, he ignored Diego and entered the house while the latter followed suit. Then, I walked out of the study room and stood at the stairway.

When Diego saw me, he was not surprised at all. "So it's you! No wonder there are so many Xenoses by the door. Do you have any spare time in the afternoon? Let's go grab a meal," he asked with a smile while raising an eyebrow.

Just as I was curious why he would invite me for lunch all of a sudden, he continued, "Emma is also in Finland. Let's ask her too. I'll give you a ride home tonight."

No wonder… It is all because of Emma. "I have to get back to Bryxton by noon," I replied.































































"So soon?" Diego frowned and asked.

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't Shawn promise me to visit my grandfather yesterday?"

Hearing his words, I looked at Shawn, and the latter had a faint expression on his face, seemingly as if he didn't care about it.

"Oh. I don't know about this."

"Are you still going?" Diego asked as he looked at Shawn.

"I don't have the time," replied Shawn.

"Alright then. Suit yourself. I'm going home to deal with something important."

Diego did not stay for long before he left. Looking at his frantic movements, one would have thought he lived nearby.

After he had left, I walked down the stairs. On the other hand, Shawn looked at me. "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Yes. It did." I smiled and nodded, reminiscing about falling asleep in his arms.

At that moment. Shawn knew the hidden meaning of my words and tilted his head to the side as he looked at the German Shepherds outside. "Do you like dogs?"

"I quite like them," I said honestly.

"If that is so, why don't you give them a name?"

Hearing his words, I was delighted. "Are you going to keep them?"

"You like dogs, don't you?" he responded.

"I'm not good at coming up with names, though," I said.

Then, Shawn didn't answer me, but I didn't mind at all since he was the quiet type.
