Chapter 265

Chapter 265

Shawn seldom called my name, and he rarely interrogated me as he did right now. Whenever I made a

mistake, he would never blame me for it, which made me think that he was a man who would never

feel pain. However, I forgot that he was just a human.

As a human, one was bound to have emotions and desires.

Suddenly, it was heartbreaking to see that he was upset that I had forgotten about my condition and

was going to hug him. However, just as I reached out to him, he turned around abruptly, returned to his

seat, and continued to journal.

Looking at him, I tried to form words to break the silence, but Shawn spoke up first. "You exchanged

your life to have children, so I don't have the right to keep them. If you want to see them, just contact

Waylen."

Is he giving me back my children that easily?! No matter our relationship status, he never gave me a

hard time.

After Shawn was done with his words, he was back to his usual cold self, seemingly as though he had

never interrogated me. At that moment, I felt hopeless and sad.

Right now, I should have gone out and looked for my children, but my legs seemed to have a mind of

their own as they stood unmovingly. Noticing that I wasn't leaving, Shawn glanced at me and asked

coldly, "Is there anything else?"

"No," I shook my head dumbly and said.

"If so, please leave." Shawn was ordering me to leave.

He is starting to kick me out of his house.

Thinking about it, I turned around and walked away with heavy footsteps. When I walked down the

stairs and opened the door, my face went pale as I saw the woman standing by the door. "Why are you

here, Miss Xenos?" I asked in a low voice.

Kiara was wearing a white mink coat with a black silk dress on the inside, outlining the curves of her

body. Her slender and delicate wrist was wearing a green bracelet. She was stunning, looking like a

Greek goddess. I was envious of her aura and admired the persistence she had for love.

"I'm here to see Shawn, Ms. Felix," said Kiara with a smile.

Hearing her words, I pursed my lips and suddenly felt irritated.

"Would you like to come on a walk with me?" She extended an invitation.

Judging by her words, it seemed like she wanted to talk to me about something.

Thus, I left the villa with her, and we both strolled along the riverbank. Kiara was a patient woman. After

we walked for about eight minutes, she said, "I feel helpless."

"What?" I tilted my head and looked at her in confusion.

Kiara had long, curly, black hair, making her porcelain face even smaller and paler than it already was.

Most men would feel protective if they saw her in such a state.

"I have loved Shawn for so many years, Ms. Felix. I used to think he would be my husband, my

property alone, but… I realized that he was never mine, to begin with."

Shouldn't she have known this long ago? It's first come, first serve! Moreover, she was just Shawn's

fiancée! Shawn never thought of her in any other way.

I didn't know how to comfort her. After all, she was my rival.

Kiara took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, when I saw Shawn carrying you in front of everyone

and leaving the church, I knew whom he loved. After all, that was the first time I had seen him willing to

carry a woman! It was then I knew I lost him entirely, but I still couldn't accept this outcome!"

The thing that I was most afraid of was chatting with Kiara and listening to her obsession with Shawn.

Why is she telling me this? Does she think I would bless her and even share my man with her? My

man… Shawn and I broke up and haven't gotten back together yet. That means that he is single.

Suddenly, Kiara suggested, "Please give me a chance to compete with you fairly, Ms. Felix. If I fail this

time, I'll give up on him and never appear in your sight anymore."

The cold wind blew across the river, making me shiver, and I felt my body hurt from the cold. Then, I

rubbed my arms and said, "I'm sorry, but I won't agree to such a silly thing! However, I respect the

friendship you and Shawn have. That's all. So, please don't drag me into saying that I would promise

you anything!" After all, I had nothing to do with her liking Shawn and wanting to court him. There was

no way I would accept such a bet since I wouldn't benefit from it. Thus, I would not be such a fool and

let myself be in such a terrible situation!

Hearing my words, Kiara was stunned. Suddenly, she laughed and said, "You are such a cold and

heartless woman, Ms. Felix. To put it rudely, you are stubborn. I admire you for only putting yourself

within advantages, though."

"I don't have anything to say about you and Shawn, Miss Xenos," I said. After all, I didn't have any right

to comment on it!

When Kiara realized this was the end of our conversation, she smiled and left. I knew that she was

going to look for Shawn, who was currently journaling in his study. For some reason, I felt unhappy

about it.

After Joseph saw that Kiara had left, he stepped forward to drape a coat on me.

"Is Kiara beautiful?" I huffed out a breath and asked.

"She is charming," Joseph replied from a man's perspective.

"Is she your type?" I asked again.

Hearing my words, Joseph smiled awkwardly and said, "How would I dare to think about her?"

"I'm just asking if she's your type." I glanced at him and spoke upsettingly.

After pondering for a while, Joseph said honestly, "Absolutely."

"In that case, she must be Shawn's type too," I said subconsciously.

When Joseph heard my words, he was bold enough to ask me, "Are you jealous, Miss?"

Jealous?!

Just as I was going to scold him, he cut me off and said, "Mr. Xenos has known Miss Xenos for many

years. He would have fallen in love with her if he liked her. However, since they haven't spent time

alone and Shawn has never gotten to know Miss Xenos, it would be hard to say if they'd do something

now that they are alone together."

Hearing his words, I felt upset.

Joseph knew what I was thinking and continued, "I know you are worried about your health, but the

doctor said that you are recovering well and would not be in danger. Since you are worried about Mr.

Xenos, you should check on him. Otherwise, Miss Xenos might see this as an opportunity!"

My illness… To be honest, that wasn't the reason I avoided Shawn. That night, my condition was worse

than today, but I still decided to see Shawn under Florence's advice. If I hadn't fainted halfway down

the road, I would have met him, and we would be on good terms like before.

However, I didn't know how to explain to him about that night. That night, Nicholas kissed me, and I

didn't refuse as I opened my eyes and looked at him. How would I explain to Shawn why I didn't push

Nicholas away when I was conscious? I couldn't tell him Nicholas could kiss me because my illness

had worsened. If he knew about my condition, he would be worried sick. Moreover, the conversation

between Nicholas and me today…

There were many troubling thoughts in my mind. Although I still couldn't figure it out, I couldn't control

myself and walked back to Shawn's house, entering the password.

When I opened the door and took off my shoes, I stood by the door hesitantly. Looking at my reaction,

Joseph said, "I'm a man, Miss. Even if I had someone I loved, I still wouldn't be able to refuse another

woman's seduction."

He was secretly implying that it was the same case for Shawn.

When I heard his words, I rushed up the stairs hurriedly. At that moment, I forgot that Shaw
