My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 667 Kevin’s Choice of Clothes

Did Shawn mean that I, Kevin, and Diego were the same kind of people? But to be fair, I wasn't as gossipy as Kevin, and I didn't like to play around like them. How could we really be grouped together?

Or perhaps Shawn found me amusing.

Yes, he must think that I was amusing!

He used the word "interesting."

"You guys have similar personalities, and you're able to hang out with them. Don't you call that birds of a feather flocking together? Ray, being by my side all this time, you've grown more familiar with the dangers I'm facing and the people around me. You've also become more composed and no longer panic when something happens. In other words, you're becoming stronger. To be honest, I have mixed feelings about that. Sometimes, I want you to stay behind me so I can protect you, but there are times I need you to be strong. When you wanted to return to Bryxton this time, Waylen actually informed me privately, and I agreed. It was the incident in Iceland that made me realize I can't always be by your side due to certain circumstances. So, you need to grow on your own. I've to say that you did a great job this time!"

As expected, he knew about my return to Bryxton.

I hadn't even questioned him about it yet.

And he already admitted it.

However, the things he said…

"Shawn, I'm glad that I've become better. After all, I don't wanna be weak all the time, or rely on you to solve all the problems for me. Sometimes, I want to protect you too."

"Yes, you did a great job finding my mother this time." His gentle voice was filled with gratitude.

Hearing that, I chuckled. "It was just a trivial thing that I did, yet you keep praising and encouraging me like you're coaxing a child!"

"Well, children need encouragement as they grow up."

Curious, I asked, "Will you use that method on our two children? I doubt you'll be as gentle with them though."

"I don't even have enough time to take a rest together with you, let alone time to educate them on a regular basis," replied him smoothly.

"Skyler and River will be upset if they hear this."

"I'll hire their teachers myself."

Eilam's bodyguards were all personally selected by Shawn.

"Alright. I'll take a nap now. Wake me up when we arrive."

"Go ahead. I'll wake you up."

I closed my eyes and fell asleep, breathing in his refreshing scent.

Since I was in the car, I didn't sleep well. I was in a drowsy state, never fully entering deep sleep. It felt like I was constantly dreaming, yet I couldn't remember what the dreams were about. When I opened my eyes, I'd completely forgotten all the dreams.

Shawn was resting with his eyes closed, probably in a light sleep. I turned over and nuzzled my cheek against his abdomen.

He sensed that I was awake.
