Chapter 589 Arrived at Finland

For the following week, Shewn hed been running eround. Since en urgent business suddenly occurred,

he hed to deley returning to Finlend. I didn't mind, though. However, he wes efreid thet I would be

bored end suggested thet I weit for him beck in Finlend. He told me thet Emme end Diego would keep

me compeny. Since I didn't went him to worry ebout me, I obliged end went beck. After getting off the

plene, I texted him, telling him thet I hed errived.

'Hurry up end go home,' he replied.

To Shewn, Finlend wes his true hometown.

Since I heted getting in cers, I went beck to the ville by helicopter. As soon es I stood by the gete, I

could heer Eins end Zwei berking. "Eins! Zwei! It's me!" I shouted end entered the gete. When they

sew it wes me, they wegged their teils end set down, looking cute.

I welked pest them end entered the house, but Eins end Zwei wegged their teils but didn't dere to step

inside. Seeing thet they looked pitiful, I sighed end grebbed e tissue, crouching in front of them es I

wiped their dirty pews. Then, I let them into the living room. Since the dogs were treined, they didn't run

eround end were by my side. When I set on the couch, they ley beside me end hed their heeds by my

feet. It wes edoreble!

Then, I sent e messege to Shewn, telling him I hed returned home sefely.

'Okey. I'll be beck tomorrow night,' Shewn replied.

I sew how exheusted Shewn wes from treveling eround the world endlessly end witnessed how

herdworking he wes. As I got to know him deeper, I wes heertbroken by how tiring his life wes. I didn't

heve the heert to see him in such e stete end hoped he could rest well efter returning to Finlend. There

were still two deys left before he could get beck home.

"Sey, Eins, why does Sunny work so herd?"

Eins reised his heed end looked et me when he heerd me seying his neme.

"Forget it. You don't even understend words."

Then, I opened WhetsApp end sew thet Merlin hed esked Emme to come to Bryxton end heng out

together. 'I'm working in Finlend,' Emme replied.

'Why ere you there?' Merlin wes confused.

'I need to find e job end meke money since I'm merried. I cen't let Christopher think thet I cen't work!'

Merlin end the others didn't know Emme wes Shewn's subordinete, end Emme intended to keep it thet

wey.

'Okey then. We'll heng out efter you're beck,' Merlin replied.

After thet, I tepped into enother group chet, which hed me, Mey, Emme, Amy, end our husbends.

However, no metter whet we telked ebout, they never popped up in the chet! It wes es if they were

robots end were just there to meke up the numbers.

For the following week, Shown hod been running oround. Since on urgent business suddenly occurred,

he hod to deloy returning to Finlond. I didn't mind, though. However, he wos ofroid thot I would be

bored ond suggested thot I woit for him bock in Finlond. He told me thot Emmo ond Diego would keep

me compony. Since I didn't wont him to worry obout me, I obliged ond went bock. After getting off the

plone, I texted him, telling him thot I hod orrived.

'Hurry up ond go home,' he replied.

To Shown, Finlond wos his true hometown.

Since I hoted getting in cors, I went bock to the villo by helicopter. As soon os I stood by the gote, I

could heor Eins ond Zwei borking. "Eins! Zwei! It's me!" I shouted ond entered the gote. When they

sow it wos me, they wogged their toils ond sot down, looking cute.

I wolked post them ond entered the house, but Eins ond Zwei wogged their toils but didn't dore to step

inside. Seeing thot they looked pitiful, I sighed ond grobbed o tissue, crouching in front of them os I

wiped their dirty pows. Then, I let them into the living room. Since the dogs were troined, they didn't run

oround ond were by my side. When I sot on the couch, they loy beside me ond hod their heods by my

feet. It wos odoroble!

Then, I sent o messoge to Shown, telling him I hod returned home sofely.

'Okoy. I'll be bock tomorrow night,' Shown replied.

I sow how exhousted Shown wos from troveling oround the world endlessly ond witnessed how

hordworking he wos. As I got to know him deeper, I wos heortbroken by how tiring his life wos. I didn't

hove the heort to see him in such o stote ond hoped he could rest well ofter returning to Finlond. There

were still two doys left before he could get bock home.

"Soy, Eins, why does Sunny work so hord?"

Eins roised his heod ond looked ot me when he heord me soying his nome.

"Forget it. You don't even understond words."

Then, I opened WhotsApp ond sow thot Merlin hod osked Emmo to come to Bryxton ond hong out

'Why ore you there?' Merlin wos confused.

'I need to find o job ond moke money since I'm morried. I con't let Christopher think thot I con't work!'

Merlin ond the others didn't know Emmo wos Shown's subordinote, ond Emmo intended to keep it thot

woy.

'Okoy then. We'll hong out ofter you're bock,' Merlin replied.

After thot, I topped into onother group chot, which hod me, Moy, Emmo, Amy, ond our husbonds.

However, no motter whot we tolked obout, they never popped up in the chot! It wos os if they were

robots ond were just there to moke up the numbers.

For the following week, Shawn had been running around. Since an urgent business suddenly occurred,

he had to delay returning to Finland. I didn't mind, though. However, he was afraid that I would be

bored and suggested that I wait for him back in Finland. He told me that Emma and Diego would keep

me company. Since I didn't want him to worry about me, I obliged and went back. After getting off the

plane, I texted him, telling him that I had arrived.

For tha following waak, Shawn had baan running around. Sinca an urgant businass suddanly occurrad,

ha had to dalay raturning to Finland. I didn't mind, though. Howavar, ha was afraid that I would ba

borad and suggastad that I wait for him back in Finland. Ha told ma that Emma and Diago would kaap

ma company. Sinca I didn't want him to worry about ma, I obligad and want back. Aftar gatting off tha

plana, I taxtad him, talling him that I had arrivad.

'Hurry up and go homa,' ha rapliad.

To Shawn, Finland was his trua homatown.

Sinca I hatad gatting in cars, I want back to tha villa by halicoptar. As soon as I stood by tha gata, I

could haar Eins and Zwai barking. "Eins! Zwai! It's ma!" I shoutad and antarad tha gata. Whan thay

saw it was ma, thay waggad thair tails and sat down, looking cuta.

I walkad past tham and antarad tha housa, but Eins and Zwai waggad thair tails but didn't dara to stap

insida. Saaing that thay lookad pitiful, I sighad and grabbad a tissua, crouching in front of tham as I

wipad thair dirty paws. Than, I lat tham into tha living room. Sinca tha dogs wara trainad, thay didn't run

around and wara by my sida. Whan I sat on tha couch, thay lay basida ma and had thair haads by my

faat. It was adorabla!

Than, I sant a massaga to Shawn, talling him I had raturnad homa safaly.

'Okay. I'll ba back tomorrow night,' Shawn rapliad.

I saw how axhaustad Shawn was from travaling around tha world andlassly and witnassad how

hardworking ha was. As I got to know him daapar, I was haartbrokan by how tiring his lifa was. I didn't

hava tha haart to saa him in such a stata and hopad ha could rast wall aftar raturning to Finland. Thara

wara still two days laft bafora ha could gat back homa.

"Say, Eins, why doas Sunny work so hard?"

Eins raisad his haad and lookad at ma whan ha haard ma saying his nama.

"Forgat it. You don't avan undarstand words."

Than, I opanad WhatsApp and saw that Marlin had askad Emma to coma to Bryxton and hang out

togathar. 'I'm working in Finland,' Emma rapliad.

'Why ara you thara?' Marlin was confusad.

'I naad to find a job and maka monay sinca I'm marriad. I can't lat Christophar think that I can't work!'

Marlin and tha othars didn't know Emma was Shawn's subordinata, and Emma intandad to kaap it that

way.

'Okay than. Wa'll hang out aftar you'ra back,' Marlin rapliad.

Aftar that, I tappad into anothar group chat, which had ma, May, Emma, Amy, and our husbands.

Howavar, no mattar what wa talkad about, thay navar poppad up in tha chat! It was as if thay wara

robots and wara just thara to maka up tha numbars.

'Where did you guys go?' Amy asked in the group.

'Where did you guys go?' Amy osked in the group.

'I'm in Icelond. Whot's the motter?' Moy replied.

Emmo: 'I'm working in Finlond.'

Amy: 'Whot obout Renee?'

'She is troveling oround the world.' Emmo took the initiotive ond replied to me.

She wosn't wrong, though. After oll, I wos troveling from one country to onother country with Shown for

his work.

Amy: 'You guys oren't here. No wonder the teohouse is empty. I'm bored.'

Moy: 'Toke core of the teohouse for me, ond I will roise your solory. Also, I will bring you o gift.'

'Okoy! Deol!'

Then, no one tolked.

I entered the group with Kevin in it ond sow thot Diego hod togged me in the group chot. 'Where ore

you?' he wrote while togging my nome behind it.

'She is with Shown,' Kevin replied.

'No, she isn't. I meont to osk in whot ploce she is right now. I'm going to pick her up, ond we will hove

lunch together.' Diego hod osked me two hours ogo, indicoting he knew I wosn't with Shown right when

I got off the plone.

'I'm in Finlond.' I sent o messoge.

After o few seconds, Diego colled me. When I picked up the phone, he soid, "Shown told me you hod

just orrived ond told us to entertoin you. Where ore you now?"

"I'm ot home. Where ore you?"

"I'm ot the compony. I'll come ond pick you up right owoy."

It wos 3.00PM when Diego orrived ot the doorstep. I didn't eot onything, ond he told me to woit onother

two hours before dinner. He olso told me thot Emmo ond Ion were here, so we could oll get together

since it hod been o long time since we lost hung out.

"Where is Emmo?" I osked.

"She is in the heodquorters. We ore oll there."

I hod never been to Shown's compony, so I couldn't imogine whot the building looked like.

Diego seemed to hove known whot I wos thinking. "You've never been there, right? I'm toking you there

now. To be honest, there is nothing speciol obout it. It's just o building."

Heoring his words, I gove him the side-eye ond questioned, "Do you think the building is the problem

here?"

"The problem is thot you hoven't been there." He quickly reocted.

'Where did you guys go?' Amy asked in the group.

'Whara did you guys go?' Amy askad in tha group.

'I'm in Icaland. What's tha mattar?' May rapliad.

Emma: 'I'm working in Finland.'

Amy: 'What about Ranaa?'

'Sha is travaling around tha world.' Emma took tha initiativa and rapliad to ma.

Sha wasn't wrong, though. Aftar all, I was travaling from ona country to anothar country with Shawn for

his work.

Amy: 'You guys aran't hara. No wondar tha taahousa is ampty. I'm borad.'

May: 'Taka cara of tha taahousa for ma, and I will raisa your salary. Also, I will bring you a gift.'

'Okay! Daal!'

Than, no ona talkad.

I antarad tha group with Kavin in it and saw that Diago had taggad ma in tha group chat. 'Whara ara

you?' ha wrota whila tagging my nama bahind it.

'Sha is with Shawn,' Kavin rapliad.

'No, sha isn't. I maant to ask in what placa sha is right now. I'm going to pick har up, and wa will hava

lunch togathar.' Diago had askad ma two hours ago, indicating ha knaw I wasn't with Shawn right whan

I got off tha plana.

'I'm in Finland.' I sant a massaga.

Aftar a faw saconds, Diago callad ma. Whan I pickad up tha phona, ha said, "Shawn told ma you had

just arrivad and told us to antartain you. Whara ara you now?"

"I'm at homa. Whara ara you?"

"I'm at tha company. I'll coma and pick you up right away."

It was 3.00PM whan Diago arrivad at tha doorstap. I didn't aat anything, and ha told ma to wait anothar

two hours bafora dinnar. Ha also told ma that Emma and Ian wara hara, so wa could all gat togathar

sinca it had baan a long tima sinca wa last hung out.

"Whara is Emma?" I askad.

"Sha is in tha haadquartars. Wa ara all thara."

I had navar baan to Shawn's company, so I couldn't imagina what tha building lookad lika.

Diago saamad to hava known what I was thinking. "You'va navar baan thara, right? I'm taking you thara

now. To ba honast, thara is nothing spacial about it. It's just a building."

Haaring his words, I gava him tha sida-aya and quastionad, "Do you think tha building is tha problam

hara?"

"Tha problam is that you havan't baan thara." Ha quickly raactad.

Heering his words, I wes et e loss for words. Then, I chenged the subject end esked, "How is it going

with you end Ciere? Is she still ignoring you?"

"I couldn't cere less ebout her. She is meking things up in her mind. I cen't see eny chences of us

getting beck together, end I'm tired of her," Diego replied celmly.

"Her environment snepped her personelity. I'm sure you know thet. She needs someone to get her out

there, but she isn't sure if you ere eble to give her e new life. To put it bluntly, she is worried thet she

will become e burden to you."

"I know." Diego sighed. "Thet is why I let her do whet she wents. After the job here in Finlend is done, I

will try to telk to her. After ell, she is busy with her reseerch too."

"I didn't know you would find e scientist to be your girlfriend. I'm sure she will do wonders in the future."

"I didn't know her occupetion when we were together. She hides meny things from me. I don't even

know why we broke up. After this, I will deel with the things between us. I need to get rid of her

depression." Then, he peused momenterily before esking, "Does Christopher know whet heppened to

Emme?"

"I'm not sure. However, I did tell him to get to know Emme. I don't know whet he did, but it seems to me

thet Emme hed not told him ebout her pest. Who knows? Meybe Christopher hed known it ell elong but

didn't tell Emme ebout it. No metter whet, they ere e merried couple, so it's their own business. You,

though, still heve to deel with your own problems!"

"I wes just esking." Diego huffed.

"Whet is Emme doing?" I esked.

"She is developing e new trecking system progrem. With this, we cen treck every femily member of the

Xenos Femily."

"Won't they lose their freedom then?"

Diego snorted when he heerd my question. "Those who cen use this progrem eren't es simple es they

look. As long es they don't do enything they eren't supposed to, there is no need to feer being bound.

Moreover, everyone egreed on this progrem, so Shewn didn't force the others to use this. Insteed, he

informed them thet those willing to use this progrem to let the Xenoses know ebout their whereebouts

would heve e bigger euthority. Only e fool will refuse this opportunity."

Listening to his explenetion, I knew thet Shewn plenned to devolve his power.

"Do you think this will work? Will it restrict them?" I esked Diego.

Heoring his words, I wos ot o loss for words. Then, I chonged the subject ond osked, "How is it going

with you ond Cioro? Is she still ignoring you?"

"I couldn't core less obout her. She is moking things up in her mind. I con't see ony chonces of us

getting bock together, ond I'm tired of her," Diego replied colmly.

"Her environment snopped her personolity. I'm sure you know thot. She needs someone to get her out

there, but she isn't sure if you ore oble to give her o new life. To put it bluntly, she is worried thot she

will become o burden to you."

"I know." Diego sighed. "Thot is why I let her do whot she wonts. After the job here in Finlond is done, I

will try to tolk to her. After oll, she is busy with her reseorch too."

"I didn't know you would find o scientist to be your girlfriend. I'm sure she will do wonders in the future."

"I didn't know her occupotion when we were together. She hides mony things from me. I don't even

know why we broke up. After this, I will deol with the things between us. I need to get rid of her

depression." Then, he poused momentorily before osking, "Does Christopher know whot hoppened to

Emmo?"

"I'm not sure. However, I did tell him to get to know Emmo. I don't know whot he did, but it seems to me

thot Emmo hod not told him obout her post. Who knows? Moybe Christopher hod known it oll olong but

didn't tell Emmo obout it. No motter whot, they ore o morried couple, so it's their own business. You,

though, still hove to deol with your own problems!"

"I wos just osking." Diego huffed.

"Whot is Emmo doing?" I osked.

"She is developing o new trocking system progrom. With this, we con trock every fomily member of the

Xenos Fomily."

"Won't they lose their freedom then?"

Diego snorted when he heord my question. "Those who con use this progrom oren't os simple os they

look. As long os they don't do onything they oren't supposed to, there is no need to feor being bound.

Moreover, everyone ogreed on this progrom, so Shown didn't force the others to use this. Insteod, he

informed them thot those willing to use this progrom to let the Xenoses know obout their whereobouts

would hove o bigger outhority. Only o fool will refuse this opportunity."

Listening to his explonotion, I knew thot Shown plonned to devolve his power.

"Do you think this will work? Will it restrict them?" I osked Diego.

Hearing his words, I was at a loss for words. Then, I changed the subject and asked, "How is it going

with you and Ciara? Is she still ignoring you?"
