Chapter 167

Chapter 167

Although I had never seen that side of Shawn before, I liked this part of him.

After our passionate tryst, I lay exhausted in bed while he entered the bathroom to take a shower

again. Later, when he had come out, he had changed into a black silk robe, and was instantly back to

his usual cold and restrained self.

Shawn was more than six feet tall, and as he stood by the bed towering over me while looking at me,

he seemed quite giant-like. I reached out and held his hand while gently shaking it. "Aren’t you going to

sleep?"

Shawn pinched my fingers gently and responded, "I’ve got something to deal with."

I let go of his palm as he bent down slightly to plant a kiss on my cheek. "Go to sleep first."

Since I was exhausted, I fell into a deep slumber soon enough. In the middle of the night, I woke up to

use the toilet, but I noticed that he hadn’t come back to the bedroom, so I pushed open the door and

went to check in on him. I managed to make my way to his study room based on my fuzzy memories.

I pushed open the door to find him seated upright in front of his study desk, and there was a silver-

colored laptop in front of him.

I approached him from the back and wrapped my hands around his neck. I felt quite sorry for him as I

asked, "It’s so late now. Why are you still up?"

"Yeah, I’ve got something to deal with," he responded.

I affirmed and relinquished my grip on him. Subsequently, I walked toward the couch and lay there

while voicing out in a woozy voice, "Okay then, continue with your work and I’ll keep you company right

here."

I mentioned that I was going to keep him company, but I ended up falling back to sleep out of

exhaustion. When I woke up again, I found that dawn had broken outside, and there was a thin cover

on me.

I remained on the couch and lay there for quite some time as I slowly woke up. Just as I was about to

get up, I heard Shawn’s cold voice ring out, "I’ll deal with this matter, so you don’t have to worry too

much. Don’t go and bother her."

Who’s he on the phone with?

I couldn’t catch what the person on the other end said, but I heard Shawn speak up quite frustratedly,

"This has nothing to do with you."

I sat up on the couch and saw that Shawn was massaging between his brows with his fingers, looking

exhausted. I went forward and hugged his arm while asking sweetly, "What’s wrong? You look as if

someone just crossed your path."

He denied it. "Everything’s fine."

He generally tried to bear everything by himself, and that was his usual trait.

I noticed that he refused to divulge much, so I didn’t pursue the topic any further. In the end, I nuzzled

his cheek affectionately and suggested, "Why don’t you go and take a nap?"

Meanwhile, Shawn suddenly reached out and took me into his arms as he spoke in a hoarse voice, "I’ll

need to go over to the Hayes’ house later on."

"You don't even have time for a short nap?"

I looked at him with worry in my eyes as I took in his exhausted look. He shook his head slightly and

didn’t say a word, but he held me tightly in his arms with his eyes shut.

I didn’t want to disrupt his rest, so I stayed still in his arms. After he had taken a short ten-minute power

nap, he got up and walked toward the bedroom.

After he freshened up, he walked out once again, dressed in a crisp suit. I stood by the door barefooted

while staring at him with an earnest look.

He lifted his hand by nature and stroked my cheek as he spoke, "I’ll have to head to Napresh after

leaving the Hayes’ place, so I’ll get Diego to keep you company here."

He's leaving for Napresh right after spending a few days here? He seems very busy.

I nodded my head meekly as he lifted his hand to place it against my neck. I shivered as soon as I felt

his large, cold palms against my skin.

He sensed the change in me, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you find it cold?"

His voice sounded hoarse due to the lack of sleep the entire night.

I shook my head and replied, "No."

He curled his lips into a smile and said, "I’ll make sure to come back as soon as I can."

I affirmed and worriedly mentioned, "Have a safe trip."

……

…

After Shawn left the house, I sat on the couch and scrolled through my phone to ease the boredom.

Shortly after that, I heard the doorbell go off.

I got up to open the door and saw that it was Diego outside.

There was heavy snowfall in Finland throughout this month, and the weather was bitterly cold. Diego

was dressed in a down jacket with a pink shirt inside.

As soon as he entered the house, he instantly asked, "Where would you like to visit?"

I scrutinized him carefully from top to bottom for quite some time as he lifted his brows and smiled.

"What’s wrong? Have you realized that I’m much more handsome than your man, so you’ve changed

your mind and decided to go after me?"

In response, I gave him the side-eye. "You think too highly of yourself."

I merely felt that not many males would choose to wear pink clothing. Most of them would look quite

sleazy in pink.

However, Diego looked good in it. Paired with his almond-shaped eyes, he was naturally quite tempting

to the eyes.

Diego came forward and sat next to me as he asked, with a curious expression, "How did you manage

to deal with your man’s jealousy?"

Even Diego noticed that Shawn was jealous!

I recalled Shawn's unbridled passion from last night, and I instinctively denied it. "I didn’t do much. He

dealt with work as soon as he got home."

Meanwhile, Diego rolled his eyes and insisted, "You’re full of joy today. You must have had a

pleasurable night with Shawn…"

I rolled my eyes at him and cut him off, "Can't you behave decently?"

He noticed the thunderous look on my face, so he caught himself and said, "Alright, I was just joking.

Shawn’s gone to Napresh, so he told me to take you around Finland and enjoy the sights. Do you have

any places to visit in mind?"
