Chapter 632 My Promise to Kevin
I thought Shawn had not agreed to my request until Emma sent me a message. 'Thank you, Renee. I’m finally free!'
Although Shawn had said no, his actions spoke otherwise!
I was grateful for what he had done for me.
After hesitating for a while, I sent him a message on WhatsApp. 'Thank you.'
He replied formally, 'You're welcome, Mrs. Xenos.'
I smiled and felt a sense of contentment within me.
Instead of replying to Shawn, I went on Instagram and found out that the story I shared yesterday had failed to be
uploaded, which explained why there were no likes.
I let out a sigh and decided not to repost it.
I exited Instagram and went to Twitter. An account with the username "Master York" had sent me a message. 'Why
haven't I seen you online lately?'
He had sent me seven or eight messages before that.
All of which were from a long time ago.
I replied, 'What's up?'
Kevin replied quickly, 'My legs are sore.'
'What happened?'
'I got tricked by Emma to join her in receiving punishment. That's not the main issue. The problem is that Shawn
gave her a day off to recover, while I have to painfully go to work tomorrow.'
I could guess what Kevin was thinking.
'So, what do you want?'
'You promised to take me out before. How about tomorrow? I'm not going to work tomorrow no matter what.
Please help me out!'
I was speechless.
It was truly a troublesome situation.
Just when I was struggling with how to respond, Shawn texted me. 'Ray, are you asleep? What about the kids?'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt
'The little ones are asleep, and I'll sleep soon.'
"Okay. I'll take you to attend LG's funeral tomorrow."
Tomorrow?!
Is it decided so quickly?
I asked, "Is it appropriate for me to go?"
"No one is more suitable than you."
I didn't understand. "Why?"
"Because you are Mrs. Xenos."
I understood what Shawn meant. As his wife, it was fitting for me to accompany him to any occasion he attended,
including LG's funeral.
If LG were still alive, she would probably hate to see me at her funeral. Although I didn't want to attend her funeral
either, I was willing to go as long as I could be by Shawn's side.
I asked Shawn, "Is Kevin attending it?"
"Yes. Diego and the others will all be present. But the company will be exceptionally busy tomorrow, so we'll
probably arrive around 8 p.m."
Kevin is extremely reluctant to go to work tomorrow!
"Shawn, can I ask Kevin to accompany me to the mall tomorrow? Then, I want to go and meet with Aimes first. You
know they are having conflicts, and he can help if he goes earlier."
Shawn replied generously, "It's up to you."
Shawn agreed!
I exclaimed, "Thank you, hubby!"
Shawn replied, "You sweet talker."
I smiled sweetly and immediately messaged Master York on Twitter. When he heard the good news, he replied, 'Ray,
I love you! Oh my goodness! No work tomorrow! I'll go and show it off to Emma right away! But why did Shawn
agree so readily?'
I asked him in return, 'Has Shawn ever refused my requests?'
Kevin replied, 'You have a point there.'
Then I told him, 'Tomorrow is LG's funeral, and Shawn will take me there in the evening. We can go early to help
Aimes, but what if he doesn't want to see me?'
Kevin reassured me, 'Don't worry, he's someone who speaks harshly but has a soft heart. Despite his harsh words,
he's not a bad person. It seems that Shawn's sudden decision to attend LG's funeral was influenced by you, am I
right? He's a man of his word and has never gone against what he said. His actions always matched his words. He
changed his mind this time because of you!'
'Well, will you come and pick me up tomorrow?'
'Since tomorrow is a rare day off, I'll sleep in and come over to your place around noon. I'll also buy some gifts for
the kids. I don't want them to think that their uncle is stingy!'
'The kids are too young to know anything.'
Kevin said childishly, 'I have to take pictures as mementos. I'll show them the photos when they grow up. They'd
better feel grateful toward me.'
'...'
Kevin did not reply to my message anymore, so I put down my phone and went to sleep. Later, I felt someone
embracing me from behind. Knowing that it was a man, I did not open my eyes and just slept peacefully in his
arms. When I woke up the next day, Shawn had already left.
He was very busy, so I try not to disturb him during this time.
But I still worried about his injury.
After getting up, I headed to the bathroom to freshen up and get changed. When I sat down to put on makeup, I
saw a candy on the dressing table.
It could only have been placed there by Shawn.
Despite his cold demeanor, his way of doing things was incredibly romantic. I unwrapped the candy and popped it
into my mouth. It had a refreshing lemon flavor, tangy and sweet, and it was easy to get addicted to!
I proceeded to do my makeup, spending extra time to style my long hair into soft, bouncy curls, leaving some airy
bangs on my forehead.

Once I was satisfied with my look, I took a selfie and sent it to Shawn. After that, I made my way downstairs to the
kitchen to prepare breakfast. Eilam had already woken up and started exercising, and the two children were awake
too.
When breakfast was done, I called Eilam to join me at the table. Once we had eaten, he continued his studies with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhis tutor. His daily tasks were quite demanding. However, I did not assign them to him, it was his own choice to take
such responsibilities.
He had a strong desire to become a capable individual.
But the path he had chosen was undoubtedly challenging.
Shawn went through this too.
After breakfast, I took the twins out for a walk. There were very few neighbors around, but I could still bump into
one or two people. I could not understand the language they were speaking, but our nanny told me they were
speaking Finnish, complimenting the beauty of my two children.
I politely smiled and thanked them in English.
After the walk, I fed Eins and Zwei their dog food. Once I had finished the work in the villa, I went to the backyard to
practice playing the piano. The nanny held Skyler and River, serving as my audience. Time flew. Before I knew it, it
was already noon, and as agreed, Kevin arrived at the villa just in time to have lunch.
He was punctual.
Of course, he came with gifts.
After joining us for lunch, Kevin took pictures with Skyler and River, proudly showcasing the gifts he bought.
He uploaded the photo to his Instagram with the caption. 'As an uncle, I have fulfilled my responsibilities!'
This reminded me of the perfunctory hug that Shawn had given to Skyler and River when he returned home
yesterday!
"Let's go to the mall and buy some black clothes."
Of course, we had to wear black clothes when attending a funeral.
Kevin curiously asked, "Don't you have a black dress at home?"
"I do, but Shawn bought it, and I don't want to wear it."
Kevin fell silent.
I went to the mall with Kevin, where I purchased a black dress. He walked around me and commented, "It looks
pretty good, but your hairstyle makes your face look slightly rounder."
"..."
At once, he got a slap directly on the head.
"Ray! No physical force!"
