Chapter 604 Thank You, Kev
My marriage with Nicholas was suffocating. I could not stand being mistreated, but I was so timid and weak before
him and was even afraid to voice my thoughts. Therefore, I never experienced many happy moments with him.
Instead, all I felt was disappointment after disappointment—an endless cycle of grief and despair!
However, I did not regret marrying him because that was my past, and I respected it. Only by respecting it could I
gain more happiness in the future.
As for my marriage with Shawn, he taught me what a happy marriage could feel like—two people trusting and
cherishing each other!
Besides that, he also taught me a lot, especially about love!
Looking back at my past, I felt that all my grief and losses had disappeared the moment I met and fell in love with
him. He gave me so much that I felt I owed him a lot.
Then, I recalled a line he wrote in the book. 'When I met you, I never thought I would love you so much. Although
I'm not your only one, I'm lucky that you're mine. I'm willing to become your tamed beast, putting away my sharp
teeth and claws just so that I can have you in my arms.'
I silently recited, Shawn, I'm sorry I wasn't your only one and presented you with a broken person, causing you to
be constantly worried about me! In the future, I promise to love and trust you unconditionally, and no matter what
hardships we face, I will wholeheartedly take care of our family, you, and our children. My heart will always be
linked to yours. In reality, our relationship… We've become each other and are entangled forever. No one and
nothing can separate us.
The relationship between Shawn and I had already fused, so now, we were only in it for each other.
When I thought of that, I felt even happier. I whispered, "I love you, Shawn."
"Yes. I'm very sure of that."

Once we were done, Shawn grabbed two sets of clothes from the car. Seeing that he was so well prepared, I could
not help but want to laugh. I was thinking of teasing him but then remembered that it would not be worth it
because he would give me the silent treatment instead.
I changed into a clean set of clothes before lying back on the mat. Later, he came over and lay down beside me,
bathing in the sun with his eyes closed.
About an hour later, we heard Kevin's loud voice coming from afar. "Ray! I brought all three of your children!"
Quickly getting up, I saw Kevin had Skyler in his arms while Eilam had River. I walked over while saying, "Thank you
for bringing them." After approaching them, I took River from Eilam and used my free hand to rub his head, asking,
"Was it tiring?"
He shook his head and said nothing. This kid is not much of a talker, I see.
Holding his hand, I led him over to Shawn. "Sunny, I found you a son. Isn't he handsome?"
Shawn opened his eyes and observed Eilam for a long while before humming in response. "Hello, Eilam." Then,
Eilam hesitantly held Shawn's outstretched hand, and Shawn politely introduced himself, "From now on, I'm your…
father."
Eilam obediently replied, "Yes."
"Although I don't mind whose last name you'd like to use, I hope that you can think carefully about it. You can make
your choice after two years."
Shawn hoped that Eilam could change his last name and offered him two years to think about it.
Kevin reflectively asked, "What choice?"
Eilam replied to Shawn, "I understand."
"Children from the Xenos Family must have a backbone and an upright character. I won't treat you the same way
your mother does, and there will be a lot of hardships awaiting you down the road."
I remember Shawn had previously mentioned that the children of the Xenos Family needed to be able to protect
themselves and their families. That was because these children were destined to be special, so if they found
themselves in a disadvantageous position, they might… lose their lives.
"Yes, Father."
When Shawn heard that, he patted Eilam's head, seemingly satisfied with the kid's response.
At that moment, Kevin placed Skyler on the mat, saying enviously, "Congratulations, Sunny, for gaining another son.
I envy you so much!"
I kissed River's cheek, but she seemed focused on Shawn while screaming, "Papa, hug!"
Feeling a little hurt, I gave the child to him. He took her and placed her on top of his crossed legs before rubbing
her head, asking gently, "Ree, do you miss me?"
I was holding Skyler when I heard River reply, "Yes!" Then, she continued to yell, "Papa! Papa! Papa!"
I noticed Shawn's expression was particularly gentle, and he seemed like his heart was melting! River was such a
flatterer. Not willing to give up, I asked, "River, don't you miss me?"
"Yes. I wanna hug Mama too!"
When I heard that, I was finally satisfied. Then, I grabbed her and placed her into Shawn's embrace. Following that,
I heard Kevin ask Eilam excitedly, "Eilam, would you like to go surfing with me?"
Eilam rose to his feet, agreeing. "I only know the basics."
"Come on. I'll teach you."
Following that, Kevin grabbed a surfboard and headed into the sea with Eilam. I turned to ask Shawn if he wanted to
join as well. "Kev brought extra surfboards!"
He brought three!
"Sure. I'll bring Skyler with me."
In actuality, Shawn did not have much interest in such activities, but he knew there were some things he should

same time, Eins and Zwei were following closely beside him.
While they were having fun, I had River in my arms while swooning over the handsome Shawn. I even secretly took
snapshots of him. Once I was done, I walked over while watching him play in the water with a child in his arms.
There were several times when he fell into the sea with Skyler, but I was not worried because he was Shawn! Like a
majestic and sturdy mountain, anywhere was safe with him there!
Skyler giggled in his arms, while Kevin taught Eilam how to surf on the other side. As Eilam already knew the basics,
he caught on quite easily and could surf a few feet before dipping.
Afterward, Shawn handed Skyler to Kevin before coming toward me. He then took River from my arms and went
back into the sea.
She was more active than Skyler. I could not hear what Shawn was whispering to her, but I soon saw her riding a
huge wave into the sky and tumbling in the air.
A few minutes later, Kevin brought Skyler to my side and smiled, asking, "Doesn't Sunny look handsome surfing?"
"He does. He looks very handsome. It's like he knows everything!"
"Of course. Sunny already knew how to surf when he was young and even taught me. Back then, he wasn't as
relentless as he was now. Wait, no. He's more humane now. Before, he was extremely relentless. I think his gentler
times were during his younger days and now. The days after he returned to the Xenos Family were… I had even
begun to think that he was a cold-blooded machine! That was why I so desperately tried to match you up with him
when I saw how differently he treated you. I didn't expect I'd get a niece and nephew in two years! Just thinking
about it makes me feel proud. You have no idea how much I've mentioned your name in front of Sunny and even
taught him things. I even told him that women like being called 'babe' or 'darling!' Gosh! I went through so much.
Now that I think of it, I think being a matchmaker isn't an easy job. After all, I have to constantly track through
dangerous territory!"
So, Shawn calls me babe because Kevin taught him to… How surprising!
"Thank you, Kev."
