In the end, Gary agreed to be my assistant once again. So, we went to the company together—to the same company where Shawn had managed for seven years!
This was my first time here. The corporation was very big and imposing, as the whole business park belonged to the Xenos Family.
The handler of Xenos Family came out in a hurry when they heard I had arrived.
Standing at the entrance, I hesitated for a long time, as I did not have enough courage to do this. However, I knew that I still had to face it in the end.
Grabbing onto Gary's arm, we then arrived in Shawn's old office, which was decorated in cool tones.
This has him written all over it.
After I went in, I had them leave the office.
Arriving in the office which Shawn had been in for seven years, I finally stopped putting on a strong front and slumped onto the sofa, feeling very sad inside.
Now, the only thing accompanying me in this world is the baby in my belly. If he could be born safely… Then, that would be the happiest thing that will happen to me besides meeting his father.
I sat on the sofa for a long time before going inside the inner room. It was a big open space equipped
with a bed, a wardrobe and even a bar.
Opening the wardrobe, I saw that it was all Shawn's clothes inside, consisting primarily black suits with white shirts.
Without closing the wardrobe, I then laid on the bed, dozing off on the spot where he would sleep after a short while.
I napped for around two hours.
Even though it was short, I slept very soundly.
Waking up, I then combed through my messy long hair before leaving, only to find Gary and the handler standing guard outside the entrance.
I quickly apologized when I saw them, "I'm sorry for that."
The handler quickly responded, "It's no issue, Miss."
I then introduced Gary to the handler. "This was my previous assistant. Please instruct him on all the businesses that the Xenos family have."
"Understood. Do you have any other orders, Miss?"
"I don't. Because of my condition, I won't be coming to the manor often for now, so just contact me directly if anything happens."
"Yes. I'll tell you if anything important happens. To ensure your safety, the family will dispatch personnels to follow you at all times."
I did not reject this notion as I needed to be on guard against Nicholas.
Besides that, I also could not exclude other dangers too.
Then, I asked him, "How many people will there be?"
"Twenty. They are all elite bodyguards."
"Alright. Thank you."
Because Gary needed to catch up on how the corporation operated, he did not follow me back. Thus, I headed back alone.
Wait, no… I was heading back with twenty people!
Reaching the apartment, I was all worn out. Thereafter, I went to take a shower.
I was now three months pregnant and I would be giving birth in seven months' time. Not knowing whether I would have a premature birth, I was worried that my body would not be able to withstand it…
Even if a premature birth did happen, I was going to bet on the baby surviving!
This made me think of Francesca.
She also bet her life in order to conceive Tamara.
Now that I think about it, the child should be six months old now!
What can a six months old baby do?
She could only crawl to a person of her interest before slowly learning to talk and say 'Mommy'.
Maybe in the future, I will also have the chance to hear my child call me 'Mommy', this thought filled me with joy.
Lying on the bed, I was trying to rest my body the best I could. During this period, I listened to every word the doctor had said, and I even hired an experienced caretaker for pregnant women, and she would come over every day to chat with me.
Because of the discomforts of pregnancy, I would lose sleep often, so it was around midnight when I fell asleep once more. Getting up early the next day, I dragged my fatigued body to wash up.
The caretaker came soon after I had finished washing up, and she prepared breakfast for me before bringing me downstairs to walk around. Sitting in the park, I stared at the joyful children playing around for half an hour!
Just looking at them made me feel all fuzzy inside.
After reaching the apartment, I received a message sent by Olivia.
It stated, 'I'm in a relationship with the doctor now.'
Seeing this, I asked her, 'When did this happen?'
'A few days ago, I decided to be with him when he brought me to a gathering. Renee, he has a pair of beautiful eyes and a sharp gaze whenever he looks at me. He gave me a feeling of home, a feeling that Christopher had never given me before."
I replied, 'Congratulations, Olivia.'
'Renee, Christopher still doesn't know about this.'
'When are you planning to tell him?'
Olivia replied, 'I'll wait until Christmas.'
It was just a few days away from Christmas.
I only wanted to be by Shawn's side at that moment.
Oh, how I miss him!
Teary-eyed, I put my phone down and zoned out while sitting on the sofa. Upon seeing me down in the dumps, the caretaker asked me in a gentle tone, "Miss Felix, is everything alright?"
"I want to see someone."
The caretaker then asked if I wanted to meet the child's father.
Smiling, she said, "If you really want to, you should go see him then."
"It's not that easy," I replied.
The caretaker then softly said, "With transportation being so accessible now, one could reach the ends of the earth in one or two days. It was unlike the olden days where I couldn't even see my husband for the last time before he passed away."
The caretaker's words had moved me.
After hesitating for a good few days, I finally decided on Christmas Eve to use the Xenos Family's private jet to fly to Finland.
It only took around four to five hours to travel from Eldham to Finland.
Standing on the streets of Finland, I did not dare go to Ainsbo because I was not even sure if Shawn was in Ainsbo or not. I did not investigate his whereabouts, nor did I want to do that since I did not want to make him feel bothered.
As it was still early in the morning, I found a juice shop and sat down before buying a Christmas present in a mall when night almost fell.
It was an expensive Rolex.
Carrying it carefully in my hands, I then went to Ainsbo with the bodyguards, letting them wait as I
exited the car.
I saw that the lights were on in the villa. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
There are people here.
Is Shawn in?
He should be in.
Standing in front of the entrance, I felt very helpless as I did not dare to step inside. Instead, I just stood there for over ten minutes.
Feeling very uneasy inside, I feared that he might distance us even further.
I also feared that he might not want to see me even more.
Taking a deep breath, I then pressed on the doorbell, but to no avail.
Does this mean that Shawn is refusing to see me?
With my head lowered, I was very sad inside.
…
Inside the villa, Diego was tending to Shawn's wounds.
Even though they had been thoroughly preparing for a month now, he still got ambushed last night, and his wounds were much more serious than before.
Standing at the window, Kevin glanced at the person standing at the entrance before smirking, "There's an unwanted guest."
Frowning, Diego asked, "Is it an enemy?"
Renee, who had donned a black coat which covered her whole body, was the one that landed Shawn in this state, so how could Kevin not be mad at her?
He had stated that he had known Shawn far longer than her, so he naturally could not forgive her for letting Shawn down.
Exhaling, Kevin said, "Kind of."
Standing up, Diego asked, "Who is it?"
With closed eyes, Shawn was covered in wounds as he heard Kevin say, "Who could it be other than Ray? She actually dares to show up here!"
Opening his eyes, Shawn bellowed, "Kevin!"
Hearing this, Kevin rebuked, "Are you seriously speaking up for her, Sunny?"
Shutting his eyes, Shawn said, "Just let her leave."
Being in grave danger himself, he could not provide her with safety nor any promises.
Curious, Diego asked, "With what excuse?"
"Whatever you can think of."
