My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 495

I was caught off guard by Clair's re-establishment of the Felix Corporation, but I was honestly delighted. After all, it used to be my parents' property, but it went bankrupt because of me. Moreover, Felix Corporation was estimated to make a quick comeback based on its previous prestige status. It would soon soar high in the industry as I didn't leave the business in a muddled mess when it went bankrupt.

I donated all the assets of Felix Corporation to charity back then, so the comeback of Felix Corporation was naturally expected.

Of course, it was what the people want.

On the contrary, other family businesses might not necessarily welcome us.

Nevertheless, it didn't matter. Clair considered all aspects when he re-established Felix Corporation, and with the full support of the Adams Family, it would be easy for Felix Corporation to become prosperous.

I hung up the phone, put on makeup, and followed Shawn to the banquet venue. Clair was at home, and workers were setting up the exterior of the venue.

Many people were going up and down in Felix's Villa, so Shawn and I went to our room. My mother even inquired about our children.

"They're at home. I'll bring them over tomorrow."

The moment we entered our room, I plopped onto the bed, while Shawn stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Since the bed was not far from the windows, I climbed from one side of the bed to the other and asked him, "What are you looking at?"

Shawn's broad back was pleasing to the eye. The black suit set off his sturdy figure, but under the handsome suit was a body painted with scars.

I knew only a few capable men in the world, and besides foreigners, there were only a few of them in the country, and all of them were seriously injured presently.

Shawn Xenos, Sir Larson, Ezekiel Hastings, Rudy Adams, and Robert Saunders were all in the same situation now, so there shouldn't be any troubles over this period. The more peaceful the situation, the longer the peaceful days I had with Shawn. He even mentioned bringing me on a trip soon!

I was looking forward to our honeymoon, but… could this be considered one?

I guess so. I mean, we have registered our marriage.

Later, I followed Shawn's gaze and saw Florence getting busy in the backyard. Her face was pale, probably due to her poor health, and my brother, Clair, was standing beside her.

He stood beside her silently, and the two still seemed to be in a stalemate.

I then asked Shawn, "What is your definition of marriage?"

"Why?"

"Clair always quarrels with Florence in private, but the two of us never quarrel. Marriage seems to come in a variety of ways..."

"Everyone is an independent individual with their own personality. The most important thing for two people to be together is to compensate each other."

"Have you ever changed for me?" I asked curiously.

Shawn underwent a huge change after being with me.

At least, he wasn't as taciturn as he used to be when he was with me, and he grew sensitive to my emotions.

However, he didn't reply to me. Thereafter, I noticed Leon bringing Francesca home.

Leon was my uncle's adopted son, so he was also a member of our family. It was perfectly normal for him to show up on such an occasion.

Moreover, he had his own business now, so he had to build his connections. Attending the banquet tonight would certainly help him lay a foundation.

What I didn't expect to see was Francesca showing up with him in Felix's Villa. Recalling her sickness, I asked Shawn worriedly, "Are there any updates on your side? I want Francesca to live on, Sunny."

"There is no suitable match yet for the time being, but Waylen said that he would try to find a match within this month. I've also found out that the failure rate of the surgery is very high. She might risk losing her life if she undergoes the operation."

Due to that, I was in no position to decide for Francesca.

The only thing I could do for her was to find her a kidney match and a capable doctor. The decision was eventually hers to make.

She was the only person who could make the final decision for her own sake!

Despite that, I wished that she would get the surgery. I wanted her to live longer.

"Sunny, you just said that Bryxton is crowded, right? I reckon something is going to happen because Daniel Hartmann's purpose is very clear."

"Daniel came to Bryxton to assist Ezekiel."

I got up on my knees and hugged Shawn's waist. Then, he hugged my hands on his waist and uttered with a soft smile, "What's wrong?"

"I find everything complicated and endless. It's like there's no end to this. Is it true that people in our positions have to put in the effort to keep the positions for the rest of our lives?"

"Yes."

I sighed, to which he rubbed my skin with his thumb and explained, "People in our positions… except you and Alfred who might be fine, people like me and Rudy, who have risen from the bottom, have offended many people as we forged our way upward. If we want to spend the rest of our lives in peace, we must protect our status. Look at Rudy now. He is a perfect example. Apart from hiding away from Alfred, he has to hide from other enemies. Did you think he left Europe merely because of Hannah's suicide? Nope. That is just his official answer to the public so that he doesn't end up in a confounded mess."

"How did Hannah die, then?" I questioned out of surprise.

"After Rudy's power was taken away by Ezekiel, the enemies who heard the news started chasing after Rudy like mad dogs. They killed Hannah. Rudy couldn't stay in Europe anymore, so he came back to Bryxton to seek my protection, but Alfred is eyeing him here, so he is put in a difficult situation right now."

"I must protect my status to protect you and our children. I cannot even relax for a moment," he declared firmly.

That was his responsibility.

"That must be hard on you," I commented in distress.

"Men are supposed to take on more responsibilities."
