Chapter 663 A Clear Conscience

Quinn and Maria were both successful in achieving their objectives, even though it cost them something and other people were hurt.

Especially Abigail, who had paid no cost at all.

"Ray, there are far too many factors outside of our control in the world. Not because you lack the ability, but because there are too many unknown dangers in our future. We can't be cautious about everything, but we can at least have a clear conscience! Just like Alba, who saved May and had a clear conscience about his feelings for her. Francesca didn't have to give Quinn her kidney, but because of Leon, she agreed to do so to help Quinn. This level of humbling was caused by her love for Leon."

I was shocked, and I asked, "How do you know so much, Sunny?"

"It goes without saying that I have to be curious about and knowledgeable about everything about you."

Shawn was well aware of every detail about me, but he never shared it with me.

"Sunny," I called out softly.

"Ray, isn't death also a kind of fulfillment for Francesca? Even if she still hopes to live, even if she still has regrets, she feels no remorse toward the world."

"I know you're trying to comfort me," I said in a low voice.

"Yes, I'm comforting you. I don't want to see you sad! Ray, don't be too downhearted; a clear conscience is sufficient."

Suddenly, I remembered the agreement from nine years ago.

As a test, I questioned, "I'm a little curious. Have you always had a clear conscience in everything you've done?"

Shawn gave me an answer, "Yes, I did everything with a clear conscience."

He wouldn't lie to me. If he said he had a clear conscience, I believed him.

"Thank you for clearing up my confusion."

Shawn whispered, "What confusion?"

Seemingly wanting to shift my attention, he patiently chatted with me. "Ray, what are you talking about?"

"A few days ago, I met Owen and discovered some information from nine years ago. They said that you and my father ordered them to sign a confidentiality agreement. I'm aware of some of what went on back then, but I don't know what part you played. However, Sunny, if you say you have a clear conscience, then I believe you."

Shawn suddenly smiled and stated, "Woah, that's a lot of trust."

With a firm voice, I responded, "Duh, you are mine. I believe everything you say, and if you say you have a clear conscience, then you do. So, no matter what anyone else says, I won't doubt you."

"Mm." Shawn hummed, indicating that he was pleased.

"You said that since we only have so much time together, mistrust and misunderstanding won't keep us apart. That is a statement that I have always agreed with. How you treat me is how I will treat you."

"Yeah. I won't let my Ray down."

My Ray… I love it when he calls me that.

I was curious so I asked, "What happened back then?"

"What happened was too complicated. It can't be explained in a few words. I have time now, but I'd rather not waste it."

Shawn had no desire to talk about it at all.

"What do you want to talk about then?" I asked.

"When you return to Finland, I'll tell you about those old tales. Now I want to have a heart-to-heart conversation with you."

"Francesca is all I can think about right now."

Shawn comforted me, "I know. I'll be here to listen to you."
