My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 599

Chapter 599 What Is on Your Mind?

"Let's do a quick change," said Shawn with a lowered and slightly tilted head after I jogged toward him.

"We're changing again?" I asked.

"You're changing. It'll get chilly at night outside."

"I'll find a short-sleeved shirt, then," I said before turning to Serene. "I'm heading upstairs for a bit—"

"Ree, have you seen Serene?" Ian, who showed up out of nowhere, asked me, to which I pointed to the young woman in the living room before following Shawn into our room.

I changed right in front of him, and it was after I was done I realized he was peering at me. At that, I wrapped my arms around his waist and asked, "Are you undeniably drawn to me?"

"Not bad," he replied while tightening his arms around me.

"What do you mean by that?"

However, he changed the subject. "Let's go down."

With that, I followed him downstairs. The backyard was illuminated beautifully with many fairy lights, and the projector far away was playing the hottest movie at present.

When Diego saw us, he hurriedly got up and gave his seat up to Shawn. "Your seat is here, Great Mr. Shawn Xenos, and this is yours, Mrs. Xenos."

"Act normal." I rolled my eyes at him, only making him grin. "Will do."

I sat next to Shawn, who was withdrawn when eating, and so was Serene. It was like the two weren't a part of this as they ate away.

Well, Shawn was just being Shawn.

As for Serene… Her words came to my mind. I've always been the fifth wheel.

Did she believe we were excluding her? No, wait. She probably believed Ian was excluding her!

At that, I sighed, and Shawn suddenly rubbed my wedding ring. It wasn't a moment later before he asked, "A penny for your thoughts?"

"I've always believed myself to be a nosy person," I whispered to him. "And now, I'm beginning to concern myself with Ian and Serene's issue again."

"Well, you normally don't have anything better to do anyway. You won't feel too bored when you have something on your mind. Frankly speaking, Ian and Serene's issue is very easy to sort out."

"Do you have a plan?!" I asked in surprise, to which he mumbled, "No, but the only thing that needs to be done is to get them to bring up the elephant in the room."

"What elephant?" I pressed on.

"Ian told me he and Serene have been treating each other far too respectfully. I can tell Ian has had a change of heart, and Serene, well, she has always liked Ian." Ian was trying to say that the two had never confessed their love for each other.

"Is there anything in this world you don't know about?" I commented with admiration.

"I'm not interested in things like this."

He really wasn't, but what could he do when someone opened up to him?

"Hey, Sunny, what are you and Ree whispering about?" asked the male lead of our gossip, whom I shrugged off. "Oh, random stuff."

At that, Diego refuted Ian, "Why should they tell you what they're talking about? By the way, Ian and I just moved the piano over to that spot. Serene, Renee, and Christopher play the piano, don't they? How about a couple of pieces from you guys?"

"What are you thinking?" I asked with a chuckle, baffling Diego. "What? What's wrong with that?"

"Sure, Serene and I can entertain you, but who do you think Christopher is? Do you think a maestro plays so easily for the public? Tell me what piece you'd like to hear. I'll play it for you."

"But we're all friends here, are we not?" Diego felt rather speechless, for his thoughts were pretty simple. However, Christopher never said a word, and it was pretty clear it was a no.

"What would you like to hear?" I reiterated.

"Your call. Beggars can't be choosers."

With that, I played a few familiar pieces before returning to my seat when Serene complimented me, "You have wonderful finesse."
