My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 701 The Calm Before the Storm

Because I knew about Zack's existence.

Zack was the fiancé of that blind girl.

He was also Nicholas' close friend.

I didn't want to mention Nicholas in front of him during today's birthday banquet so as not to bother him. I also didn't mention the deceased Zack. Instead, I told him about my encounter with Owen the other day. "And that's why I was curious."

"Well, these are all secrets of the Xenos Family. Because of the confidentiality agreement, we must keep this to ourselves so that Anthony and Joseph are not attacked since they are aware of what happened. You should keep this in mind."

Alicia mentioned that the Xenos Family had a secret organization.

This organization existed outside of the Xenos Family when my biological father was alive, and no one knows their whereabouts to this day.

I asked Shawn, "Can't it be abolished?"

He kissed my forehead and replied in a clear voice, "Your father is the one who did this. We can't find out about their existence for now."

Rather than saying they couldn't find out, it should be said that Shawn didn't pay attention to these small matters. After I told him what I thought, he smiled and agreed, "You're smart. I don't have the energy to deal with these things."

I looked up and bit his chin. "You lied to me."

He smiled and didn't say anything. As if he remembered something, he said to me, "Although my mother put me in an unjust situation, I can't blame her for it. After all, what she did back then was to secure my position in the Xenos Family. She didn't want any other heirs besides me. Look at her. Even though she doesn't love me, she plans everything for me."

Shawn then sighed. "Indeed, it's because of the lack of love that I ended up in such a crappy situation. She never once considered how I felt. To her, I'm just a pawn in the Xenos Family."

Shawn complained like he rarely did.

He was still sad about his biological mother.

Then again, it was to be expected. After all, she was his birth mother.

Not wanting him to be trapped in such memories, I hugged Shawn tightly and suggested, "Shall we make the birthday cake ourselves?"

The emotions in his eyes changed as he repeated, "Birthday cake?"

"Mhm. Let's go to May's shop and make it. She's really good at making cakes. But making a large cake with more than ten layers will probably take half a day. Since we have nothing to do during the day, let's make the birthday cake ourselves."

However, Shawn refused to do it. "You and May can do it."
