My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 644 Thank You, Ray
Recently, there had been someone constantly trying to tempt Shawn with information about his mother's whereabouts. Seated in
the office chair, I carefully pondered over the situation and decided to handle this matter for him. I couldn't bear to see him
exhaust himself further, as he hadn't been getting enough rest lately.
With unwavering determination, I wanted to do something to alleviate his worries.
After putting Shawn's phone down, I reached out to his assistant, Waylen, with a phone call.
"Indeed, there is some new information regarding Mr. Xenos' mother, but there have also been numerous leads in the past that
yielded no results," Waylen said.
"Where can we find her this time?" I inquired.
"In Eldham and Sundew. Mrs. Xenos, do you want to go there?"
After a brief moment of consideration, I replied, "Come to the office and find me."
Without delay, Waylen arrived at Shawn's office.
I immediately approached him and asked, "Mr. Briar, if Shawn knew about this news, would he go himself?"
"He would. Mr. Xenos has gone on similar missions before," he replied.
I bit my lip and questioned further, "Is someone intentionally setting a trap for him? But what do they stand to gain from it?"
"Mr. Xenos is usually swamped with business matters. If he gets distracted, it will drain a lot of his energy," Waylen explained.
Suddenly, it dawned on me as I inquired, "Are they targeting his business?"
"They aren't necessarily the ones targeting his business. Most likely they belong to the sort of people who offer such services
and often engage in shady activities behind the scenes," he reasoned.
Who exactly is targeting Shawn?

Looking at my puzzled expression, Waylen reassured me, saying, "Mrs. Xenos, Mr. Xenos has faced countless challenges over
the years. You don't have to worry too much. However, they are the first ones to exploit his mother in this way. Once Mr. Xenos
has some free time, he will handle this matter himself."
I decided to reveal my plan upon hearing that. "I want to take this trip for Shawn. He has always protected me in the past, and
now I want to do something for him. Besides, he has been extremely exhausted lately, and I'm afraid that his body can't take it. I
don't want him to go through all this trouble."
After all, traveling from Eldham to Finland took two to three days, and Shawn had been on planes for the past two days.
Waylen was momentarily taken aback by my words.
After a while, he responded, "Having worked with Mr. Xenos for many years, I have never seen him exhausted or defeated
because he is incredibly strong. It's rare for strong people to receive care or sympathy, but Mrs. Xenos, you understand Mr.
Xenos's challenges and vulnerabilities. Your care and sympathy for him are truly deserving of respect."
Appreciating his compliment, I patted his shoulder and smiled. "Don't flatter me. Help me buy the plane ticket, and I'll leave
tonight. You'll have to cover for me with Shawn in the meantime. I'll come up with an excuse to explain things to him later."
"Let me accompany you, Mrs. Xenos," he suggested.
"If you leave Shawn's side, he will notice. I still have Gary with me here. Remember, he used to be your colleague, and he's just
as capable as you. Brief him on what you know later, and have him wait for me in Eldham," I said.
"Yes, Mrs. Xenos."
With that, Waylen left the office. Shortly after, Colin contacted me once again. "You bought me without spending a dime?!"
"What's wrong? Still want to pocket 30 million from me?"
Hearing my words, Colin awkwardly laughed and said, "It's just a misunderstanding."
Realizing that I had to depart tonight, I instructed, "I'm going back to Eldham tonight. Come with me."
Upon my return, I would hand him over to Anthony.
"Are you bossing me around now?" he asked.

"Sorry, but I have to remind you that you are mine now. It's too late to back out, or else I'll have Shawn seal up all your antiques.
Contact Mr. Briar later to get your plane ticket," I threatened.
Reluctantly, Colin accepted and replied, "Fine. I don't feel like arguing with you."
"Alright, I'm hanging up."
However, he called out to me, "Wait."
"What's it?" I asked patiently.
"Give me Mr. Briar's contact information," he requested.
After providing him with the information, I ended the call. A few minutes later, Shawn returned to the office with some documents.
He noticed me and asked, "Are you bored?"
Shaking my head, I replied, "Not really."
He seemed curious about my activities as he casually inquired, "What have you been up to?"
"I just grabbed a coffee with Christopher. I bumped into him while he was dropping Emma off at work. Oh, by the way, I'm
heading back to Bryxton tonight," I responded.
Shawn sounded slightly surprised as he responded, "That sudden?"
"Yeah, there are some matters I need to attend to in my home country. It'll take me about two or three days to finish them. Since I
have nothing urgent here, I'll discuss the first birthday celebration for our children with my parents in Bryxton. We'll decide
whether to have it in Espoo or—"
He suddenly interrupted me and firmly stated, "In Bryxton."
"They are going to celebrate their first birthday in Bryxton?" I asked.
Shawn remained resolute in his decision. "Yeah, don't worry. I'll take care of everything here before their birthday."
With compassion in my voice, I expressed, "I've told you there's no rush. Your health is the most important thing. I'll be upset if
you keep pushing yourself like this."

Shawn nodded faintly and assured me, "Don't worry. I know my body well. Although I'm busy for now, I'll still take you out
tonight."
"Alright, I won't bother you then."
After saying that, I settled back on the sofa and started playing games.
......
In the evening, Shawn finished his work, and I knew that he had deliberately made time to accompany me. He drove me to a
nearby restaurant where we sat on a high floor and enjoyed the night view outside. As Shawn looked through the menu and
placed an order, the female waitress standing next to him gazed at him with infatuation. However, he seemed oblivious to her
attention. After ordering, he handed the menu to the waitress.
Looking at me, he softly asked, "What are you looking at?"
"The night view of Espoo," I replied.
"I grew up in this city and have a special attachment to it. That's why I decided to establish the headquarters here," he explained.
I smiled. "The same goes for Bryxton in my case. Whether it's Bryxton or Espoo, both cities have frequent snowfall in winter,
making them cold and snowy cities."
Shawn reached out and held my hand on the table. It was the first time he had spoken to me in such an intimate manner. "I like
snowy days because the cold temperature makes it easier to think, and you look beautiful in the snow too."
"You've seen me in the snow before...?" I asked curiously.
He touched the ring on his finger and replied, "You came to Finland to find me a few times, and it happened to be snowing. I saw
you."
However, I remembered that he stubbornly refused to see me during those times.
"But you refused to see me," I complained.
"It was for your own good. If you saw me, you would be even more upset."

I pouted. "Your reason is too grandiose."
"Be good. Let's move forward and leave the past behind," he gently advised.
Soon after, the waitress arrived with a cup of warm water, and Shawn raised his head to take a sip. I gazed at his handsome face
and reminded him, "You can't stay up late while I'm away these few days. I'll have Yonder keep an eye on you."
"Why are you so domineering?"
"Are you sure?" I retorted.
"Yeah, you still want to control me even when you're not here."
With a playful expression, I put on a deliberately serious face and asked, "So, does that mean you can do whatever you want
when I'm not around?"
Shawn playfully flipped the question back at me. "That's what you said."
"Sunny, you've become quite smooth-tongued."
Suddenly, he uttered, "Thank you, Ray."
Taken by surprise, I inquired, "What are you thanking me for?"
