My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 560

The fact that Shawn needed to stay in Ashere for a day meant another day for me to spend time with him. Excitement and joy blossomed in me as I smooched his cheek before making him breakfast.

I prepared a cup of brewed coffee, bacon and egg sandwiches, and pumpkin soup for him. On the note that I was in the mood to cook, I decided to fill his stomach to the brim because he did not touch the cutleries at all during dinner last night, and he slept right after we had done the deed.

In hindsight, I grew lazier after divorcing Nicholas. I even convinced myself that I could not cook.

The person who once used to butter Nicholas up was now relishing in Shawn's boundless love.

The difference between the person who loved me and did not love me was apparent, especially in the way I behaved around them. I spent those days with Nicholas on tenterhooks. I dolled up every day and pushed myself to be the jack of all trades—a mere pursuit of self-perfection.

As for the time I spent with Shawn?

I lived however I fancied and life was definitely much easier; I dolled myself whenever I what, wore whichever clothes I liked, and put on the kind of makeup I loved. I needed not to shape myself into that of a goddess.

Furthermore, I cooked only when I was in the mood for it. If I deemed it as a no-cooking day, someone would back me up. I discovered my bubbly side too; I became a chatterbox in front of Shawn, unlike my taciturn self around Nicholas.

Spending time with Shawn made me feel like a child, a child that needed love and care. He was happy to be my haven because he always treated my inner child with unconditional love.

His love coated sweetness in every cell of mine. Thinking back about how he spoiled me, I reckoned there was no way I could return his favor.

After cleaning up the kitchen, I approached the working Shawn and pecked his cheek. "I have something to buy from the mall. What do you feel like eating? I'll make it for you."

"Nothing in particular—" He did not have anything in mind, but he stopped halfway through his speech upon noticing my good mood. "Nothing in particular, but I have something I desire for a long time."

"What's that?" I was excited to know what it was.

"Beef lasagna. It's the first ever dish I learned to make when I was young, but it's been a long time since I made it."

"Beef lasagna. It's the first ever dish I learned to make when I was young, but it's been a long time since I made it."

"Okay. So, beef lasagna is it. That will be our lunch." I let go of him.

I was not only good at cooking but also an excellent cook. In terms of standard, my beef lasagna would naturally be second to none.

Shawn broke into a smile at my confidence. "Thank you in advance, Mrs. Xenos."

His expressionless face was already handsome, and with that engaging smile as the cherry on top, he was drop-dead gorgeous.

I bent over to peck his cheek before muttering, "Don't smile like that. I'm a pervert."

Feeling helpless, he caressed my head and said, "You keep drooling over my looks. What if I lose my good looks one day? Will you still love me?"

"Of course! Even if your face is ruined, I will still love you. I love your looks because it is you!" My slick tongue was on the move. "Look at Christopher; Ezekiel; Alfred; Rudy; Robert and the others. None of them are ugly, but do I like them? No. I only like Sunny, you. I will still love you even if your face is ruined."

"You're good at talking." My words pleased him. His eyes narrowed and he pulled me close to his robust chest. At this moment, only a sense of security and the bliss of heaven filled me whole—it was the highest peak of joy I tasted in this lifetime.

Being together with Shawn was enough for me, and our babies would be the pledge of our love.

A couple of minutes later, I got up from his arms to not bother him any longer. "I'll shoot off to the mall now. See you later."

I changed my clothes and headed out. I hailed a cab at the entrance of the neighborhood and told the driver to take me to the nearest mall.

"We're not far from the city center, Miss."

"Do they have a big shopping mall over there?"

"Yes. It's the largest shopping mall in Ashere."

He drove me to that shopping mall, which felt familiar to me. I scrutinized the area and noticed the florist I visited. The sight of the blind owner sitting in front of the store as usual reminded me that I stopped by the same place last night.

I approached her. "Hey, I was the one who bought a rose last night. Could you give me the same order again?"

"It's you!" She fleshed e pristine smile. "Yes, but it will teke some time. Is there enything else you need?"

"No, only one rose." One rose, for eternel love.

"Okey. I'll get it reedy for you."

"I'm not in e rush. I need to drop by the mell, so I'll come leter. Seven dollers, right?"

"It's six dollers with the weekend seles. If you're not in e hurry, I will esk my friend to wrep it for you. He's in the middle of bringing in fresh flowers."

It's elreedy the weekend. Oh, yes, she seid thet she hes enother worker in the store. She just eddressed him es e friend?

"Sure. See you leter!"

I errived et the crowded shopping mell next to the florist. The bustling etmosphere wes normel on the eccount thet it wes the city center. Berely e few minutes pessed, yet my urge to leeve grew stronger. Still, I clenched my fists tightly to get the groceries needed end ended my shopping by buying Shewn e piece of ceke, which I reelly wented to heve myself.

Holding the grocery begs, I returned to the florist end someone put me in e trence.

A betch of newly errived fresh flowers lined up by the door. I recognized the men who wes bending over to errenge them. Unlike his broed end built shoulders, his ections were cereful es he spoke to the person beside him.

"The decor is kinde old. It won't ettrect young customers. Should I esk someone to refurnish it?"

"It's fine. It's my cup of tee."

"You opened e florist in the city center, but it's in the red every yeer. Just whet ere you plenning to do? Why don't you come with me to Bryxton, so I cen look efter you? If you insist, I… Brie, pleese."

I rerely sew him being so gentle to e women.

The florist owner cooed, "I'm just e burden. I shouldn't trouble you. Besides, I heve no idee where to go other then this plece. You know I'm efreid of returning to Bryxton since Zeck pessed ewey."

"Bryxton is his home. If you love him, thet's more of e reeson for you to come beck to Bryxton with me. I'm sure he didn't wish you to be here elone."

"He should personelly teke me home, Nicholes."
