Chapter 212
Chapter 212
The imperial family of France? Why is it in Russia?
Doubts flooded my head, but there was no answer to those questions at the time. Due to fatigue, I eventually fell asleep in Shawn's arms in no time.
It was about 7.00AM when they arrived at Eldham. The helicopter descended at Xenos' Villa, which was the place Shawn stayed previously.
My drowsy eyes opened and I looked at Shawn, who was carrying me off the helicopter. Next, it took off again since Rudy and May had to return to Bryxton.
Shawn embraced me in his arms as he marched straight to his room in the villa. After tucking me in the big bed, he went to the bathroom for a shower.
My eyes remained closed as I lay in bed wearily. Before long, I heard something coming from the bathroom. I opened my eyes and looked over, only to see the man change into a black silk robe that revealed a part of his chest.
Blinking my eyes, I slowly uttered, "Sunny."
He sat next to me and raised his hand to stroke my cheek. Then, he began to remove the coat and shoes from me.
I enjoyed his minister as he removed those heavy garments on me and left me in my underwear, after
which I called him softly to explain, "Sunny, someone saved me back there."
He hummed lightly in response.
"I don't know anything about that person." All I know is that he's Robert, nothing more.
"Hmm. You don't have to explain."
It seemed like he did not take Rudy's words to heart. Instead, his slender fingers undid my bra hook and my face turned crimson. I stared at him as I did not what to do. Truthfully, he felt somewhat unfamiliar to me after having separated for eight months, and I could not stand how his eyes were fixed on me so bluntly.
Yet, the gleam in his eyes was clear without hints of sexual desire. He lifted the blanket and covered it on me before placing my leg on his knees.
Previously, I had scrapped my heels after wearing high heels, and now, my legs were all stiff due to the long walk in the snow.
Shawn massaged my feet lightly and added some strength to his hands at times. I felt so comfortable as I watched him lovingly.
The man beside me was meticulous since he remembered everything I had said in the helicopter. Despite his quiet behavior, he always warmed my heart with his actions. Honestly, it melted my heart that I became all smitten with him at that moment.
About thirty minutes later, he put down my feet and headed to the bathroom. By the time he came out, he was holding a basin of warm water.
He set it next to the bed and placed my feet into it. I let out a sigh as soon as my skin touched the water. Hearing that, he gave me a sideway glance and our eyes met. It was so embarrassing that I grinned at him sheepishly.
Every couple was bound to be reserved at first met after a long separation, not to mention that we had broken up for eight months. Technically, we were not a couple, which explained the thick awkwardness that spread from the bottom of my heart. I could not act affectionately like how I did to him in the past.
At that, he curled his lips into a smile. "Are you afraid of me?"
I shook my head and he questioned once again, "Am I gonna eat you up?"
While I was biting my lower lip, he lay sideways next to me by propping his head while his blazing gaze zeroed in on me. Now that his handsome face was close to mine, I gulped down my saliva to moisten my dry throat. "When are you going to rest up?"
"Why?" he asked languidly.
I feigned calmness. "I need some sleep."
"Babe," he called in a low voice.
"Hmm?" I gazed at him in doubt.
"Kiss me."
Hearing those two words from his lips almost made my heart burst. Never once had I ever heard him asking for a kiss in such an authoritative voice. He sounded as if he deserved it too!
My mind was buffering for a moment. A displeased Shawn frowned as he grazed my smooth cheek with two fingers. "You don't want to?"
I shook my head and hugged his neck before landing a light kiss on his cheek. Next, my lips met the corner of his lips. Withdrawing my arms, I cupped his cheeks and he turned his head sideways to kiss my palm seductively.
My heart rippled, and the blanket on me gradually fell onto the ground.
The morning sunlight seeped through the French windows, casting waves of golden sheens into the room. I could vividly see the beastly eyes on his tranquil countenance. It was as if he was going to devour me whole! NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
It was my first time seeing lust in his eyes, so I became jittery in split second. The brisk sound of birds chirping resounded out of the window as my body curled up into a ball when I heard him saying, "Good girl, calm down."
I was nervous yet looking forward to it at the same time!
"Babe, don't be afraid," he cooed.
"Hmm. I'm just not used to it."
"Good girl." The man was way too sexy in the morning.
…
After that, Shawn let me off and I shut my eyes tiredly. Soon, I drifted into dreamland in bed.
In the meantime, I could feel someone wiping my body, but I was too lazy to open my eyes. By the time I woke up, it was already 4.00PM.
Although Shawn was nowhere in sight, my phone was placed next to the pillow! How did he actually manage to get it back?
I scooped it over and checked on it. Looking at the missed calls from my parents, I recalled the promise I made yesterday, that I planned on staying at their place.
I quickly called my mother, Jennifer, who bombarded me worriedly before I could say anything. "Ree, oh, Ree. We couldn't get in touch with you the whole time. What happened?"
Even though they were my adoptive parents, they always gave me their best. They gave me a wonderful life and it was them who molded a confident yet gorgeous Renee!
Until this day, they were still missing me as I was their only daughter in their heart. Of course, I loved them the most.
Feeling touched, I elucidated, "Mom, I returned to Eldham last night. I couldn't contact you guys
because I lost my phone."
"Then, send me Joseph's contact number. If something happens to you, we can just call him."
I got up from bed to draw the curtains, which were closed by Shawn. I narrowed my eyes while bathing under the sunlight. "Hmm. I'll text you later."
She began nagging again. "Your father's right. You should find yourself a partner and get married. If you truly love Shawn, bring him home. I still can't figure out his feelings for you because he looks so arrogant, and a man who owns everything like him shouldn't be worried about finding a partner. Ree, don't blame me for putting it this way, but it will be your second marriage after all. Men are usually sensitive about it. So, your father and I wish to get to know him so we can settle things down."
That was really what every blood mother would say.
I walked to the balcony to watch the man lying in the garden, narrowing his eyes while soaking under the sunlight. Shawn was looking in my direction as I spoke over the phone with a smile, "I'll make it happen as soon as possible."
"Give me an exact date, then." Mom was literally forcing me.
"What's with the rush?" I asked helplessly.
Still, she insisted, "When are you gonna bring him home?"
