My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 698

Chapter 698 Strange Men

"Do you have any idea how much money you have swindled off of me over the years? And how many times have you conspired with Diego to set me up? You always took Diego's side every time I argued with him. How can you even bring yourself to call me by my nickname like I'm your bro?!"

Kevin began to scold Ian for all the bullying he had endured. However, Ian didn't seem to care. "That's because you act desperate, Kev."

After hearing this, Kevin dropped his console and stood up. "Fine, play by yourself. I'm going home. I don't want to stay here with you anymore!"

Ian only casually mentioned, "Don't be so petty, Kev."

"It's getting late. I have to go home before Aimes gets angry again. You know how difficult he can be to deal with."

Ian said gently, "Be careful on your way home."

After Kevin left, I asked Ian, "Where are the kids?"

"Skyler and River are at Mrs. Xenos' villa. Their two nannies are also there. Eilam and Shawn are in the study."

Ian then got up. "I'm going back to my room."

After I followed Ian upstairs, I saw Eilam practicing calligraphy at the spot where I was painting earlier. Shawn was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.

I walked over and saw that the team had already started busy setting up the scene in the front yard. Standing next to Shawn, I could sense that he was deep in thought. I asked him, "What are you thinking about?"

He turned around and uttered, "Nothing."

After that, he instructed Eilam, "That's enough for today."

"Yes, Father."

Eilam put down his brush and left the room. I picked up the calligraphy written by Eilam and examined it. "Eilam is better at calligraphy than me," I commented.

"I taught him back in Espoo."

"I see. By the way, is the guest list ready?"

"Mr. Briar will officially send out the invitations tomorrow."

Putting down the cartridge paper, I hesitated to ask. "Are you upset?"

Shawn's eyes darkened slightly. "Why do you say that?"

"I feel like you've been quiet today."

His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his eyes turned cold. Suddenly, he opened his arms and called out to me, "Come here and let me hold you, babe."

I went over and nestled in his arms.

As he held me tightly, he reassured me, "Don't worry."

He told me not to worry about him.

Still, I could feel that something wasn't quite right.

Especially the things he said in the study.

Who was he talking to on the phone?

And why did it involve Ezekiel?

"Okay. Let me know if something is up."

He patted my head. "Mhm. Don't worry."

...

In the evening, the chef cooked dinner, and the two children were taken care of by the nannies. Ian dragged a few of us to a game of poker. After playing for a while, Shawn lost interest and asked Seth to take his place.

Seth, who was terrible at playing cards, lost quite a bit in a few hours. However, I was curious why Shawn specifically asked Seth to play.

Seth had been by Eilam's side for a month.

During this month, he had been rather inconspicuous.

So much so that I hadn't gotten to know him.
