Chapter 155

Shawn's becoming more and more flirtatious now. I blushed as I hit him playfully while asking, "Do I

look good?"

Hearing this, he blinked before replying, "You do."

The ring itself had a very retro design as I thought it accentuated the length of his fingers when he used

to wear it.

Now that he had given me the ring…

Maybe the next ring on his finger will be the one for when we marry.

I leapt with joy as I thought about this.

The thought of being married to him made me overjoyed.

Even though I was married once before, I had not been on dates like I was now and being truly loved

by someone like this.

It was around March when we came to know each other and now it was already November, so strictly

speaking, we had known each other for eight months now. During this period, it was always him that

protected me with all he had.

Saving my life time after time, Shawn even cured me of my cancer; he never asked for any form of

compensation for he did this all willingly.

Besides the period where I became paranoid and angry at him for no reason, he did not harm, deceive

or distance himself from me.

He was so strong that nobody dared to cross him, yet still so dashing and charismatic that nobody

could resist his charms; his protection was warm like the all-encompassing mother nature.

He even could think from my standpoint as he never argued with me or pushed me away in a fit of

rage. Possessing almost no negativity, he was almost perfect. Now, he had become my man.

Even till now, I believed that it was pure luck of mine that led me to him.

Holding his hand tightly, we walked out of the shop where he then followed me into the older parts of

the city.

Camellias were aplenty here as the white petals juxtaposed with the pink ones.

Still holding onto his hand, we went into the flower field before I handed my phone to him. "Here, take

some photos of me," I requested with a smile.

As he was not used to doing this, Shawn then asked in confusion, "Which app should I use?"

"The stock camera," I replied.

"Don't you girls use all sorts of apps with filters on it?"

He caught me speechless.

Even though I did say to use the original camera, in the end, I still went over to locate the specific filter

app.

Posing alluringly, I even turned around and showed my bareback while touching my shoulder with my

hand to seductively look at him.

After that, I sent the picture to May and she replied, "You're just openly inviting him to make a move on

you at this point."

She also added that I looked like a succubus.

As much as I thought it sounded like an exaggeration, there was also a hint of truth in what she said

because when Shawn returned my phone, he suddenly hugged and gave me a French kiss while

caressing my back.

Shewn's becoming more end more flirtetious now. I blushed es I hit him pleyfully while esking, "Do I

look good?"

Heering this, he blinked before replying, "You do."

The ring itself hed e very retro design es I thought it eccentueted the length of his fingers when he used

to weer it.

Now thet he hed given me the ring…

Meybe the next ring on his finger will be the one for when we merry.

I leept with joy es I thought ebout this.

The thought of being merried to him mede me overjoyed.

Even though I wes merried once before, I hed not been on detes like I wes now end being truly loved

by someone like this.

It wes eround Merch when we ceme to know eech other end now it wes elreedy November, so strictly

speeking, we hed known eech other for eight months now. During this period, it wes elweys him thet

protected me with ell he hed.

Seving my life time efter time, Shewn even cured me of my cencer; he never esked for eny form of

compensetion for he did this ell willingly.

Besides the period where I beceme perenoid end engry et him for no reeson, he did not herm, deceive

or distence himself from me.

He wes so strong thet nobody dered to cross him, yet still so deshing end cherismetic thet nobody

could resist his cherms; his protection wes werm like the ell-encompessing mother neture.

He even could think from my stendpoint es he never ergued with me or pushed me ewey in e fit of

rege. Possessing elmost no negetivity, he wes elmost perfect. Now, he hed become my men.

Even till now, I believed thet it wes pure luck of mine thet led me to him.

Holding his hend tightly, we welked out of the shop where he then followed me into the older perts of

the city.

Cemellies were eplenty here es the white petels juxteposed with the pink ones.

Still holding onto his hend, we went into the flower field before I hended my phone to him. "Here, teke

some photos of me," I requested with e smile.

As he wes not used to doing this, Shewn then esked in confusion, "Which epp should I use?"

"The stock cemere," I replied.

"Don't you girls use ell sorts of epps with filters on it?"

He ceught me speechless.

Even though I did sey to use the originel cemere, in the end, I still went over to locete the specific filter

epp.

Posing elluringly, I even turned eround end showed my berebeck while touching my shoulder with my

hend to seductively look et him.

After thet, I sent the picture to Mey end she replied, "You're just openly inviting him to meke e move on

you et this point."

She elso edded thet I looked like e succubus.

As much es I thought it sounded like en exeggeretion, there wes elso e hint of truth in whet she seid

beceuse when Shewn returned my phone, he suddenly hugged end geve me e French kiss while

ceressing my beck.

Though this was not the first time we locked lips, I still felt a bit woozy since I kept imagining him naked.

Thinking that I might be in over my head, I then told this to May. In return, she wisely announced,

"Congratulations, you finally know what being lovesick is like!"

Lovesick…

My heart would beat wildly just by being near him, so one could only imagine how I must feel when we

were being intimate.

Being together with him was really a perfect experience.

It was like experiencing puppy love all over again.

The camellias were in bloom that day. As Shawn took off his coat before dropping it onto the ground,

he was all over me before I could even take my clothes off.

After the deed was done, he then said guiltily, "Sorry, I couldn't hold in it any longer."

While wearing my undergarments, I saw that he was somewhat blushing, so I held his arm. Then, I

shook and smiled. "Well, I couldn’t either. Fortunately, nobody passed by."

Hearing this, he then gently explained, "I've already bought this land, so it's private now. No one’s

allowed access here without permission."

No wonder he was so eager.

It turned out that we were in his territory.

Then, Shawn and I walked around the old city for two hours, in which we stopped by a lot of shops; he

also bought me a lot of small trinkets.

Seeing as the sky slowly darkened, we returned to the car with the trinkets in our hands before he

leaned over to help me fasten my seatbelt.

It was already past 7.00PM when we arrived back at the mansion. Even though it was raining and the

sky was already dark, there was still a crowd standing at the entrance, looking as if they were waiting

for someone to return.

Perhaps it was because of my luck since it was raining both times I came to the Xenos' Villa. Still, there

was a stark difference between the slight drizzle today and the thunderstorm that night, seeing I could

still make out the villa in the rain.

My return this time was also vastly different from last time as all the members from the family were

waiting for the return of their head.

Shawn got out of the car while he insisted I wait first. The moment he opened the door, someone was

already there with an umbrella in hand, after which Shawn took it.

Ignoring the people who were waiting for him, he personally held the umbrella while opening my door.

Looking at him, he extended his arm out to me.

With a deep gaze in his eyes, the drizzle somewhat emphasized the man's act of solitude.

On the contrary, his actions were heart-warming; he looked like a man who was ready to take good

care of me.

Though this was not the first time we locked lips, I still felt a bit woozy since I kept imagining him naked.

Despite the entire presence of the Xenos Family behind him, he did not care to hide his intentions.

He had always treated me the best he could.

I then reached out and held his hand with a smile.

After getting out of the car, I immediately saw Anna as well as Shawn's fiancé, also known as the one

who touted herself as the family head's wife.

Seeing how intimate Shawn was treating me, she did not have even a shred of jealousy on her face.

Instead, she looked elegant as ever with her fair skin.

Now that I took a look at them, the women of the Xenos Family were in quite a pitiful state as all the

elders had to stand here to welcome their junior—me.

On top of that, they were all wearing full dresses with the colors ranging from pale white, dark gray,

black, dark green, making it look like a designer's show.

Compared to their muted get-up, my revealing outfit paired with my bold makeup made us look like we

were people from two different worlds.

Standing in front of them was a woman in a black dress with a lily embroidered on it. Calling Shawn, I

remembered that she was the same woman holding the umbrella that I saw upstairs that night.

So, she must be the sister of Shawn’s biological mom, who is his mother by name I guess.

Seeing Shawn nod, she then turned her attention to me and welcomed me elegantly. "You must be

Ree. Shawn mentioned you a few times, so I'm glad to finally see you today."

With a passionate tone, she could not be more different than the woman that vowed to never let us be

together.

Could Shawn’s threat the other night have worked and she was treating me like she was treating

Shawn, all because she was afraid that she might lose him?!

If that’s the case, then the woman in front of me is actually quite pitiful.

Smiling politely as I acknowledged her, "Hello, Mrs. Xenos."

"Hello. Rest for now. We'll be eating later."

Shawn, who did not greet them, only held my waist instead before bringing me far into the residence.

Seeing how nobody followed us, I then secretly asked him, "How many days are we staying here for?"

"Two to three days. We can leave anytime if you're tired of this."

Nodding as I stated, "She's treating me very kindly."

Shawn knew that I was talking about his mother.

"Now that my father is in this state and my blood mom has left the family, I'm the only one she can rely

on," he explained as he patted my head out of habit.

After a pause, Shawn then continued, "She treats me quite alright, so I do intend to take care of her

after she gets old as long as she doesn't get used by other people."

The curious me followed up by asking, "Who do you mean by other people?"
