My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 576 I Intentionally Chose This Flight

'I want you to come back earlier, Sunny.'

'Okay. I intend to be back in a month, but this is subject to the company's arrangements. Don't worry, though. I'll be

back before the children's birthday next month.'

'It's fine. Just take care and be careful.'

Shawn's safety was my number one priority, and I hoped he would be safe at all times.

This was more important than when he would be back.

Shawn did not reply to my message. Hence, I put the phone down and went to bed. When I woke up the next day, I

felt empty, both in my heart and in my bed because the man I loved wasn't by my side.

I truly missed him.

I was far too attached to him.

"What should I do?" I sat up and mumbled. Remembering that there was still a long time before Shawn could return

to my side, I instantly felt as if my life had dimmed and I no longer had anything to look forward to. All I could think

of was him!

I sat dejectedly on the bed for a long while. Jennifer was the one who jolted me out of my reverie when she knocked

on the door. "Ree, breakfast is ready."

With that, I changed my clothes, cleaned myself up, and went downstairs. Florence and Jennifer were waiting for

me, while the three children were in the living room with the babysitter.

I went to kiss River and Skyler's cheeks before walking to the dining table. "Where are Dad and Clair? Have they

eaten?"

"Your father went out for some exercise and Clair has gone to work. Only Florence and I are in the house. Do you

prefer congee or buns? Oh, and there are pancakes as well. Florence made them last night."

Hearing that, I sat down next to Florence and began praising her. "Though you are younger, you make a better wife

than I do. You deserve the credit."

"Well, well, well. Just look at how sweet your mouth is in the early morning."

Despite saying so, Florence still smiled happily.

After breakfast, I texted Gary, instructing him to handle the discharge procedures for me. I informed Shawn about

this too.

'Have you recovered?' Shawn asked, concerned.

'Yeah. I'm fine now.'

He seemed to be busy as he did not reply to my message.

Thus, I put my phone away and went to Xenos Solutions to read some documents. All of the documents were sent

here from Eldham and had to be sent back later in the night once they were dealt with.

When I wasn't around, Gary would deal with them on my behalf.

It was almost 12.00PM when I finally finished going through all of the documents. When I checked my phone, I saw

Kevin's message in our group chat from this morning, which read, 'Sunny, I'm not being lazy. It's just that Ray asked

me to look after Eilam for some time, so I can't rush back to Finland. Diego is free, though. You can send him to

Finland for work!'

Shawn only replied with a question mark.

'What I've said is true. Ree can vouch for me.'

I suddenly realized why Kevin was so eager to keep Eilam with him yesterday. He knew that Shawn would definitely

assign him some work. As such, he was waiting for me to hand Eilam over to him so that he could push the work to

Diego.

To that, Diego quickly replied, 'Don't try to make me do your work.'

Kevin then pretended to be in a difficult spot. 'How could I refuse Mrs. Xenos' instructions? Sunny will kill me if I do

so! Anyhow, I can't go to Finland right now!'

He tagged me in his next message and typed, 'You can ask Ree if you don't believe me.'

No one spoke in the group chat again.

After reading all of the messages, I sent a string of ellipses in the group chat.

Diego immediately replied, 'Did Kevin lie to me?'

'Where are you?' I asked.

'The airport. Shawn instructed me to go to Finland right now.'

Now that the situation was as such, I didn't want to embarrass Kevin by saying he was the one who came up with

the plan. Hence, I could only shoulder the responsibility and reply, 'Kevin is right. Yesterday, I asked him to take care

of Eilam.'

'Just look at that. I didn't lie!' Kevin's next message demonstrated how arrogant he was. 'Diego, work diligently in

Finland on my behalf! All of the feuds between us are written off now!'

Diego was rendered speechless.

With this, Diego, Emma, and Ian were now in Finland, along with the others I didn't know but who were Shawn's

men.

It appeared that Shawn would be making significant internal changes to the company.

Just as I was about to put my phone away, I received a text message from an unknown number. 'Hey! I'm out of jail

now!'

Who's this?

I right away replied, 'Who are you?'

'Colin. Have you forgotten about me?'

It looked like he began looking around for trouble when he had just been released.

'Oh. It's you.'

'Of course! I've been locked up for a year!'

I didn't reply to him any further, as I didn't want to waste my time with him. However, he texted me again, this time

asking, 'Where's Shawn? I can't contact him!'

I ignored his message right away and blocked his number.

Later in the afternoon, I followed my assistant to complete some paperwork to add Eilam to my household register.

I had to obtain an adoption certificate first, but its procedure was too complicated.

It was too much of a hassle for me, so I instructed my assistant to deal with it.

I then left the place alone. When I returned to Felix's Villa, my parents were not at home. The children were not in

the house as well. They most likely went for a walk nearby. As such, I went straight to my room, lay down, and

started scrolling through my phone.

Five minutes later, Diego asked, 'Do you want to go to Finland with me?'

'Why should I?' I questioned.

'To meet Shawn!'

'But Sunny is not in Finland.'

'He will be returning to Finland eventually,' Diego texted.

'It's alright. You better go back to Finland on your own.'

He then continued to ask, 'What are you doing?'

'Lying in my bed and scrolling through my phone.'

'Since you are so free, why do you not want to go back to Finland with me?'

'I'd rather stay by Shawn's side than go to Finland with you.'

If I were truly free, of course, I would follow Shawn wherever he went.

I wouldn't disturb his work anyway.

I would just stay quietly with him.

That would be much better than missing him here, all alone.

But I was afraid of becoming his burden if I secretly went to his place now.

'Fine. You're picking him over me, huh? Do as you like, then! By the way, the funeral Aimes held for LG is in Finland.

Kevin and Aimes have been arguing over this matter recently, but Aimes has made up his mind. He vaguely hinted

to me that he did not want to continue working with Kevin. I didn't even dare to tell Kevin about this!'

That took me aback. 'What exactly is Aimes thinking of?'

'How could I possibly know? He has a different mood every day.'

After reading the message, I let out a deep sigh and put my phone down.

At night, Shawn texted me at a time earlier than on any previous day. 'Are you asleep?'

I tiredly replied, 'Nope.'

'What are you doing?' he asked.

I hesitated for a long moment before replying, 'Missing you.'

Shawn noticed that I took a long time to reply to him, and he knew that I was lonely. He went silent and I didn't

receive his reply for a while, so I quickly explained, 'You're not here, so it's only natural that I miss you.'

'I know.'

He knew very well how much I missed him.

As I did not know what to reply to him, I changed the subject of the conversation and asked, 'You seem to be free

quite early today. Are you at home?'

'I'm in the airport, waiting to fly to France.'

'Have a good sleep on the flight.'

'My flight will transit at Bryxton at 3.00AM later.'

This was surprising to me.

'I intentionally chose this flight.'

I was at a loss when I saw his message. 'What do you mean, Sunny?'
