My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 687

Chapter 687 Cute Hairstyle

The Xenos Family was no longer how it was in the past, so it didn't make much sense to invite those people to Skyler and River's first birthday. However, those people were Alicia's connections from her time as the former matriarch of the Xenos Family, so I could understand why she wanted to invite them.

"Sure. We'll go along with your wishes."

Alicia was grateful. "I'll contact them right away."

Once she left and returned to her own villa. Shawn pulled me into his arms, saying, "Mother feels guilty, so she wants to invite those concubines to the party. Actually, she only wanted to invite three of them to resolve the misunderstandings back then. Although they can't really be called misunderstandings, she still wants to resolve the grudge in her heart."

I held his neck tightly and asked, "What grudge?"

"Remember I told you before that I have three older brothers. Because of my biological mother, they… Those three concubines hate my biological mother, and Mother hopes to resolve that hatred. But how can she resolve the hatred caused by someone killing other people's child?"

Yes, there were three older brothers.

But I had never met them.

"Will there be trouble at the birthday party?"

Shawn nodded and said, "There will, so we must keep the trouble within a controllable range. Therefore, you will have to personally invite someone."

Curious, I asked, "Who?"

"Charles Xenos."

I was surprised and asked, "Why him?"

Could Shawn also suspect Charles?

Shawn gave me an answer, saying, "Charles Xenos has been with the Xenos Family his whole life, and the other concubines respect him. If he is present at the birthday party, they won't openly cause any trouble. Then, you can leave the rest to me and Mother."

This was the Xenos Family's old matter.

Therefore, it should be resolved by Shawn and Alicia.

After all, I had no idea about the details of these matters.

Though I didn't know anything, I didn't ask Shawn about it either.

That was because I had been mentally exhausted recently.

Hence I was unwilling to ask about these things.

Moreover, I had already forgotten about what happened nine years ago.

"I believe you will handle it well. I have been feeling tired recently, maybe because of Robert. He's always causing trouble for me."

As Shawn knew everything, he explained, "I did some investigating on Robert's matters. He secretly sent the person who attacked him."

I was shocked. "Has he gone crazy?"

While holding me in his arms, Shawn replied, "He has always been crazy. Recently, he has been bored and wants to cause trouble again."

This time, Robert was trying to provoke a conflict between me and Ezekiel.

"I will visit him at the hospital and teach him a good lesson."

Shawn said, "He is impervious to reason."

I felt quite helpless about Robert.

But some things must be resolved.

I couldn't watch as he destroyed himself.

After all, his body...

Thinking about these things gave me a headache, and I sighed while resting my head on Shawn's shoulder. "You always make me feel at ease."

"You deal with so many men every day..."

I looked up at him and asked, "Are you jealous?"

Shawn looked away and said, "Never."

I explained, "I worry about Robert the most, but that's because he is the one my mother left for me. Also, you know that he only thinks of me as a sibling, so you don't need to be jealous."

After rubbing my head, he demanded, "I won't restrict you from socializing with them, but I forbid you from having any physical contact with any of them."

"Sure. I promise you."

Upon hearing that, Shawn smiled.

He kissed my lips and said, "I want you." This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'm still on my period."

Shawn asked softly, "How about trying other methods?"

That rendered me speechless.

...

In the end, I didn't agree with Shawn's suggestion. Instead, I changed my clothes and went to the teahouse, where I found May baking cakes in the kitchen.

I asked her, "Has Sir Larson returned to Bryxton?"

"Not yet. He should be in Espoo discussing matters with Shawn."

"Shawn came home last night. Didn't Alfred contact you?"

Upon hearing that, May stiffened. "I'm not sure."

I curiously asked, "Don't you contact each other?"

"He's just like Shawn. He rarely tells me where he's going. Usually, I only know where he is when he shows up here."

Once she said so, I finally understood her.

"Up until now, Shawn still doesn't tell me when he's coming home."

These men were good at surprising others.

May replied, "Let's go visit the others."

"Where are we going to visit, and who?" I asked.

"We're going to visit Eve at her filming location. They will be leaving tomorrow, so we probably won't see each other until your children's first birthday party."

"Sure. I'm bored anyway."

I could just return home to my man after I had some fun.

We left together after May finished packing the cake into a paper bag. I asked her, "Is this cake for Amy?"

"Yes. She likes desserts."

"My best friend has found another favorite person."

Seeing that I was jealous, May rolled her eyes at me. "Just say the word whenever you want to eat cake. Amy told me last night, so I woke up early today to bake this cake."

I chuckled. "I was just joking."

Then, she asked, "Who's driving?"

I handed her the car keys and said, "You drive."

After that, I sat in the passenger seat, playing with my phone while chatting with May. Soon, Emma called, and I answered the call with a smile. "Emma, what's the matter? Why did you suddenly call me?"

"I want to cut my hair short and dye it ash blonde, but I can't make up my mind. After cutting it short, it'll take a long time before it grows back."

She was seeking my advice.

I asked her, "How short do you want to cut it?"

"Until it's just below the neck, and I want bangs too. I saw a photo of a celebrity online and thought she looked so cute in it. Then, I thought I'm pretty cute too, so I want to try this hairstyle."

May laughed and asked, "Who compliments themselves for being cute?"

"Is May with you? Quick, give me a suggestion."

Since Emma had a cute and delicate face, changing to the hairstyle she wanted would make her seem cuter. However, that would make her age difference with Christopher seem even… Others might probably guess she was his niece.

Not saying they were father and daughter was already very kind of me.

Perhaps May had also thought of the same thing. She replied, "You can give it a try, but make sure Christopher won't get angry after seeing it."

Confused, Emma asked, "Why would he get angry?"

May replied, "It's because you would be too cute."

"I know I look cute, but I'm still conflicted. Forget it. Let me think about it some more. Maybe I'll decide not to cut my hair."

That woman was shamelessly complimenting herself.

After Emma hung up, I spoke up. "When she cuts that hairstyle, Christopher surely won't want to be seen with her."

"Hahaha, we should have been honest just now."

"Being honest would have dampened her enthusiasm."

The staff blocked us out when we arrived at the filming location, so I mentioned my identity. "I'm the investor."

The staff looked at me with suspicion.

But I didn't have any identification to prove my identity.

Wait, I did have my ID card with me.

"Renee Felix, the president of Xenos Solutions. Do you know her?"
