My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 696 Handsome Papa

I wasn't daydreaming; I was just making an assumption. After all, no one could predict the future. Seeing me looking serious, Shawn suddenly smirked and sighed, "Ray, you worry too much."

He put down the towel in his hand and came over to sit beside me. Holding my hand, he continued, "Each generation has its own responsibilities. The future has nothing to do with us. Besides, Skyler is my son. If my education hasn't gone wrong, and if there are no problems on Eilam's side, the two brothers won't fight each other in the future. Moreover, Eilam has given up the inheritance rights of the Xenos Family... I didn't expect him to make such a choice, but it's not a bad thing. This choice will save us a lot of trouble. Eilam has avoided these troubles from the beginning. He is already considering these despite his young age. I'm sure he will be even more insightful when he gets older."

I asked Shawn, "What kind of person will Eilam grow up to be?"

"A resilient, patient, and enduring man who can withstand hardship and insults. His path to growth will be much more difficult than Skyler's."

Hearing those words put a frown on my face. "He's starting from zero."

Because he refused the Xenos Family from the beginning.

He was only trying to survive here.

Shawn got up and walked to the side of the bed to carry the two children into the bed. "Rudy, Ezekiel, and I have all started from nothing. What's wrong with starting from scratch?"

"You comforting me like this will only make me feel sorry for you."

He suddenly asked, "Will Mrs. Xenos be sleeping any time soon?"

Shawn sighed again. "It's exhausting talking to Mrs. Xenos!"

He actually started complaining about me!

I pouted. "You're complaining about me again."

He was explaining more than I was complaining!

Thinking about how it was indeed torturous to make a man who didn't like to talk keep talking, I smiled in embarrassment and sheepishly uttered, "I'm going to wash up."

When I came out, Shawn was on the balcony. I walked to the side of the bed and lay down. Shawn came up from behind two minutes later and hugged me.

I asked him, "Aren't you going to sleep on the couch?"

"Yeah. I will when you are asleep."

I seemed to smell smoke on him.

"Did you smoke, Sunny?"

He only kissed the back of my neck and whispered, "Goodnight."

He rarely smoked these days.

After noticing the scent, I started to wonder if there was something bothering him.

But what could be bothering Shawn now?

I wanted to ask him, but I was afraid he would think I was badgering him.

In the end, I decided to forget about it and just go to sleep.

I didn't sleep well tonight. I woke up early because I was thinking about Alicia wanting to see the children, only to see that Shawn had woken up even earlier than me. When I went to the study next door, I saw him painting with a brush.

"Why are you up so early?"

He reminded me, "My biological clock is set for 5.00AM."

His biological clock was indeed very accurate.

Unless he was swamped with work, his schedule might be a bit messed up.

"We came home late last night, and your mother didn't get to see the children. You can wash the two children and bring them downstairs later," I mentioned.

"Okay. What about you?"

"I'm taking Eilam to the basement for exercise."

After saying that, I left the study.

I didn't notice anything wrong with the man behind me.

After I finished exercising with Eilam and returned to the living room, Alicia had already prepared breakfast. I pulled Eilam with me and introduced, "This is Grandma."

"Grandma," Eilam politely greeted Alicia.

Alicia, who had probably heard about me adopting Eilam in advance, didn't look surprised. "Eilam, dear."
