My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 548

Shawn seemed to know much more than I thought.

He muttered lightly, "I guessed."

"Hmm? Are you that smart?"

"I know all about the changes in your emotions, not to mention your attitude toward him before and after. I also know that he can do hypnosis, so it does not need much explanation. I already knew his intentions from when he started doing that. He may not want to make you feel conflicted, but it troubles me every time he gets close to you. I don't want him to pursue my wife."

Shawn very rarely staked his claim in such a direct way. Feeling happy, I clutched his hand tightly and murmured, "I won't. I will always belong to you, Sunny. But Ezekiel… well, I guess we cannot avoid meeting each other but don't worry. I am yours and I will always report something like that to you."

I immediately explained, "It's not the kind where we meet in private but when we bump into each other, alright? How can I explain this? I never thought about having any sort of relationship with him, plus I didn't want you to be unhappy because I got too involved with him. I am afraid of coincidental meetings since it's not initiated willingly by me. You don't have to get jealous over that."

He glanced sideways at me. "When have I gotten jealous?"

I laughed. "You may know me, but I know you too."

He was speechless.

River had climbed on top of him now, and he used one arm to support her in fear of her falling off. The child always loved taking advantage and when she saw that he was supporting her, she continued climbing up and clamped her arms around his neck. He didn't seem bothered and held her as he let her have her way with him. He was such a good-tempered man.

Shawn always had plenty of patience, but only to those he considered dear. He never had any for other people.

"Sunny, has there been any information about your mother?"

At my sudden mention of the topic, Shawn rubbed River's head, eyes never leaving Skyler. "Not yet, but the whole thing is very suspicious. My intuition tells me that she's still alive."

"But Anthony hasn't gotten any answers yet," I told him. Anthony had even used the resources at the Xenoses' disposal. However, Shawn refused to give up since he still appreciated his relationship with his mother. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so concerned. I suddenly understood his desire.

Shawn's early life was similar to that of Ezekiel's, but he was luckier than the latter since he had never been abused. However, the dangers he had faced were countless, not to mention he was deprived of any familial relationships since childhood and had no one to care for him. That mother of his had looked out for him in every way when she had still been alive and was focused on making plans for him in the Xenos Family. She had loved him so much more than his biological mother and treated him like her own son. Compared to Eliza, she was more like his biological mother. He should be concerned for her.

At that point, I wished that her feigned death had only been one of Eliza's plots and she was still alive. I wanted Shawn to have another source of hope and support besides me and the children.

"Yes, so it's hard to track her down. I'm just worried that my real mother has died. If she's still alive, she would come looking for me and yet, she never did. All this shows that she's gone, yet I'm still hung up on what Kiara said. If she's still alive, why won't she come to see me?"

If Alicia was still alive, she would have visited Shawn. She might have her reasons for not visiting him, which was why he was worried about her current circumstances. If she was alive or was under someone's control…

I continued for him, "If she's still alive but didn't come to see you and you cannot find her either, are you worried she's being imprisoned? Do you think Kiara would lie to you?"

He maintained his cool expression. "I've known her for many years, and she has never lied to me, so that's why I think my mother's still alive. I'm just unsure about where she is, but it will—"

"It will be found out," I responded.

Who would want to imprison Shawn's mother? Doing so would be a direct attack on him, which means the mastermind would find him sooner or later. Carrying out the investigation was merely Shawn's attempt to take control, but it was more due to his desire to rescue Alicia.

He laughed. "You are smarter now."

"Let's assume, Sunny. I'm just making an assumption. What if Kiara lied to you? People will always change," I pointed out.
