My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 645 A Cunning Move

Shawn didn't provide any specific details about the reason for his gratitude. Instead, he offered a simple smile and shifted his gaze toward the window. Following our meal, we proceeded back to the villa.

Upon our arrival, we saw River drinking from a bottle. As soon as she caught sight of Shawn, she immediately took the pacifier out of her mouth and reached out to be held by him.

Shawn lifted her and asked, "Did you cry or get fussy?"

River didn't understand his question and merely placed the pacifier back in her mouth. It seemed that the lingering impact from the previous night was still strong. Shawn cradled her in his arms and carried her to the bathroom to put a diaper on her. Then, he repeated the same process with Skyler.

Once both children had their diapers on, Shawn sat on the sofa and placed them on his lap. He appeared unwavering and resolute as if the two playful children in his embrace didn't exist. Recently, he had developed a habit of resting his eyes, possibly due to the injury he sustained during the incident on the snowy mountain.

After a few minutes, I gently removed the two children from his lap and expressed my concern. "You're still injured. Don't let them bother you."

"It's fine. They don't have much strength anyway," he reassured me.

Despite his words, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

As soon as River was no longer in his embrace, she immediately called out for him once more.

She relied on her daddy wholeheartedly.

In his presence, she seemed oblivious to anyone else, including me, her own mother.

Shawn held her in his arms again and said, "Let her be. She'll get tired after a while. I'll take you to the airport later."

"No, I'll go to the airport by myself," I insisted.

I didn't want him to go through any further trouble, considering his serious injuries.

Furthermore, the airport was not conveniently located.

I would definitely opt for a helicopter ride.

"Are you rejecting me?" Shawn asked calmly.

"I appreciate your intentions, but you have serious injuries. You don't have to make the back-and-forth trip." After saying that, I bent down and planted a kiss on his cheek in front of our two children. "Sunny, just listen to me, okay?"

He narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement.

I kissed his cheek again. However, River pushed my lips away with her hand this time. I laughed and asked, "What are you doing?"

River couldn't understand my words and ignored me completely.

"She won't let me kiss you," I said.

"Well, you've now got a love rival, Ray," he teased.

Such words were the last thing I expected to hear from him.

Taking River from his arms, I cradled her in my own. "How can my daughter be considered a love rival?"

Shawn gently rubbed the back of my head and reminded me, "It takes several hours to reach Helsinki from here, and it will probably take you a day and a night to get back to Bryxton. Remember to inform me once you're there."

I nodded in acknowledgment and replied, "Colin will accompany me."

"Oh?" He seemed surprised, curious about Colin's presence.

Then, I proceeded to explain the events of the day and my plan to him. "I plan to take him back and have Anthony train him to become more obedient."

"Colin has always been loyal to the WT. He won't readily follow your lead. Be cautious of him, in case he betrays you," he cautioned.

"I am well aware of that. I don't need him to be loyal to me. I simply want to teach him a lesson and prevent him from causing trouble for me in the future."

Upon hearing my words, Shawn nodded and remarked, "You certainly hold grudges, don't you?"

"By the way, Aimes insisted on me buying him coffee today," I added.

"Oh really?" he responded nonchalantly.

"Yes, as prideful as ever."

"He's trying to make amends with you," he explained.

Surprised, I inquired, "Is this his idea of making amends?"
