My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 668 She Is My Wife

In the absence of Waylen, there would be a substitute assistant on Shawn's side.

Yet, even with a substitute assistant present, Waylen deliberately had Kevin choose outfits for Shawn. Having known Kevin's taste in fashion, Waylen wanted Shawn to try a different style.

At the thought of that, I praised, "You look very handsome."

"The color is too flashy," commented Shawn faintly.

"You usually wear black and white. You should try different styles. Anyway, my man looks handsome in any style. The clothes are just icing on the cake."

In a deep voice, he responded, "You're flattering me again."

I chuckled. "Don't you like it?"

Shawn remained silent. I asked whether he wanted to call his mother and let her know that we would arrive soon.

He declined, saying, "It's almost two in the morning. There's no need to wake her up. Let's rest first and see her tomorrow."

When we left Ezekiel's place, it was only 9.30PM.

"We've been on the road for four and a half hours?"

"Yes. We're driving slowly because of the rain in Bryxton."

Shawn and I were chatting in the back. The driver must have been quite surprised.

After all, Shawn never seemed like a chatty person.

In fact, he never said more than needed.

"We're almost there. I'm gonna check out the scenery outside."

In less than twenty minutes, we arrived at Xenos' Residence.

It had been a long time since I last came here and saw this view. I opened the car door and got out. Seeing my eagerness, Shawn said from behind, "Careful. Don't be that impatient."

There were large fields of roses outside the villa. I reminisced with Shawn, who just got out of the car behind me. "I used to come here often when we just knew each other. I remember lying on a bed with you not long after we met, and your room was the only one with a bed at that time."

Shawn nodded and explained, "I used to live alone, and I rarely stayed here. So there was only one bed. But later, Waylen added beds in other rooms, so my mother uses one of them now."

I crouched down by the roadside and picked a bunch of roses. I picked them in various colors: pink, white, purple, gradient shades, and fresh green. When Shawn saw me with a full bundle in my arms, he came over and took it in his own arms. I crouched down again and picked a few more pink ones, to which Shawn chuckled and asked, "How many more do you need?"

"I want to put a bouquet of roses in the living room, bedroom, and on the dining table. How many flower vases do we have at home by the way? We should have enough vases, right? Ah, I'm rambling to myself."

Shawn curled his lips and watched me continue picking roses.

Later, I found a few pretty vases in a room. After Shawn put the flowers on the dining table, he found me a pair of scissors.

I trimmed the stems and leaves, then inserted the roses into the vases. Finally, I carried a vase mostly filled with pink roses and went to Shawn's room.

His bed was now adorned with sky-blue sheets.

Surprised, I asked, "Did your mother change them?"

"Yeah, she always thought that black and white were too monotonous. Since I was little, she liked to change the sheets into colors she liked. However, she hadn't changed them since I returned to the family. I guess my indifference made her feel distant," explained Shawn lightly.

"Well, she probably didn't expect you to return here this time, so she changed the sheets."

As I put down the vase, Shawn made a sound of agreement and went into the bathroom. After a tiring day, he quickly washed up and went to bed first.

Before going to bed, I checked my phone. Kevin had added Aimes back to the group chat. They were chatting happily, and Tracy also joined the conversation. Surprisingly, they didn't argue or tease each other but just talked about interesting stuff. It was a rare moment of harmony.

I put down my phone and lay down next to Shawn. Perhaps because I had slept too much during the day, I found it difficult to fall asleep.

Suddenly, I remembered that I had promised to send a message to Ezekiel once I got home. I picked up my phone and texted him. "Just got home."
