My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 630 Misleading the Young

Shawn's trip to Iceland was delayed. It was noon when we returned to Finland. He hugged River and Skyler as if completing a task. Then, he talked with Eilam for a while before heading upstairs to rest in his room. Seeing his tired expression, I couldn't help but find it amusing, yet I felt sorry for him. Thus, in the afternoon, I did not disturb his sleep by going back to the room. At night, I myself prepared dinner for the children.

I did not call Shawn downstairs to join us for the meal. Eilam asked out of concern, "Mother, should we wait for Father to have dinner together?"

I shook my head and smiled. "He's been very tired lately, so let's not call him. I'll bring his food to the room later."

"Okay, I'll help you."

Eilam obediently helped me serve the food and even took the initiative to wash the dishes after dinner. Even though we had household staff to handle such chores, I did not reject his offer. After all, running a household required collective effort. Encouraging him to wash dishes could instill a sense of responsibility and diligence in him. It seemed to be the right way to educate children, though I was not entirely sure. I followed the general principles, and it should work out fine. Moreover, Eilam was sensible, and he did not need constant guidance. His character did not require deliberate cultivation, but as his mother, I still had to take on some responsibilities.

I shared these thoughts in the group chat, and May was quick to tease me. 'Ree, be careful not to mislead the kids! You should let Shawn handle their education.'

'...'

I was speechless.

Emma said, 'But Shawn misleads the young as well!'

Shawn, who had been silent in the group chat, suddenly replied with an ellipsis, '...'

Shawn was awake!

Emma was never afraid of Shawn. She even went on to explain, 'Children raised by that cold and emotionless Shawn will inevitably turn out cold and uninteresting. Kevin might be a better fit, but he's far too unreliable. After some thought, I believe free-range parenting is the best approach. So, Renee, don't worry too much!'

Shawn's response was concise. 'Emma, see you at the headquarters tomorrow.'

Immediately, Emma's attitude changed completely. 'Shawn, I was wrong. Please forgive me! Oh, by the way, I feel a bit dizzy. Can I take a day off tomorrow?'

Shawn did not reply to Emma.

In fact, he did not utter another word in the group chat.

Emma pitifully tagged me. 'I'm not feeling well.'

I asked her with concern, 'What's wrong?'
