My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 596

Chapter 596 The Eldest Son

Shawn was always willing to prepare surprises for me. I obediently walked alongside him and asked, "Where are we going?"

"I used to attend high school here."

"Did you have time to study?"

"Yes, but I always skipped classes."

Shawn drove me to his former high school, and there was a security guard at the entrance. After he spoke to the person, we were allowed to go in. Soon, we saw many students running on the sports field, and no one was wearing any uniform.

All of them were dressed fashionably.

Shawn took my hand and ambled toward the classroom building. "It was Tracy's grandfather who helped me get into this school. I also went to a university at a later time. However, I was still getting trained in Group W at that time, so I was most at ease when I was at school. At the very least, I could get some rest and study stuff that was not difficult for me."

I could tell that his schedule used to be exhausting. "Didn't you get enough rest at that time?"

Shawn nodded. "The training was intense. I was drilled every night, so it was taxing both mentally and physically. As such, I could only unwind a little at school, but I remained disciplined. After all, I knew what path I had to walk down. I had to go back to the Xenos Family."

Suddenly thinking of something, he held my hand tighter and said grimly, "My mother said that there were four brothers in the Xenos Family. If I were not the first to return, I would've lost my life."

Shawn's other 'brothers' were all dead, but it was his mother's plot, and my biological father was the one who killed them.

As such, Shawn was very lucky, but it had also been tough for him. He had attained his achievements through his hard work, unlike me, who inherited everything.

Although I used to go through a lot of hardships, I was luckier than anyone else now. That was because I possessed assets that 99 percent of the beings in the world couldn't have, and I had a lover everyone looked up to. Therefore, I was lucky.

Feeling dejected all of a sudden, I said, "I didn't know you at that time." I must have just met Ezekiel back then.

"If I had known you earlier, I would've come all the way here to keep you company, faced all the hardships, and weathered the storm steadfastly with you. Regardless of the danger we had to deal with, I would never leave you."

Shawn smiled. "Silly girl."

"I'm not silly," I refuted.

"I think it's fine. If we had known each other earlier, I might not have obtained all these achievements. Moreover, I used to be a reckless young man, so I might not have treasured you."

In Espoo, the sky was blue with some white clouds. I heard the man say gently, "Now, everything is just right."

Shawn never cried over spilled milk or regretted his decisions. He always lived in the moment, and therefore, someone like him knew how to treasure the things he had and the people around him.

He took my hand and entered the classroom building before pointing at a classroom. "I used to attend classes here."

"Where was your seat?"

"The last table in the innermost row."

There was no one else in the classroom. They were either going home or playing on the sports field. After we entered the place, I rested my head on the table and asked, "Did you always nap like this?"

"Yes, I buried my head deep in my arms."

He then pointed at the wall. "Do you see that? My name is on the wall. I didn't expect that it's still there."

He was sharing his past experiences with me.

I ran a finger across the wall. "It's blurred now. Did you write it? But your handwriting is more beautiful."

"I don't remember who wrote it. I discovered it when I came to class one day. Many years have passed,

so I didn't expect that it's still here. Look out the window."

"There's a cherry blossom tree," I said.

"Yes, I used to love waiting for the flowers to bloom, but due to various reasons, I didn't get to see it. I've never seen these cherry blossoms in full bloom before, but it's fine, for I have you with me now."

I blushed instantly. "I'm not your cherry blossom."

"To me, you're like a blooming flower that sways with the wind."

I giggled. "You sure know how to make me happy."

The man grunted. Just then, someone exclaimed in the doorway, "Are you Shawn? I haven't met you for ages!"

I traced the voice and saw a woman who was about 29 years old. She was wearing a pair of gold- framed glasses. Although she looked ordinary, she was well-mannered. She could be considered pretty special.

Shawn frowned. "Who are you?"

"I'm Yvonne. Only the two of us were from Athium in the class at that time. Don't you remember me? I was seated in front of you."

Shawn replied impassively, "I don't remember."

The woman appeared downcast in an instant. Then, she pulled herself together and asked, "What brings you here?"

"I'm just showing my wife around."

Perhaps it was because they used to be in the same class that Shawn was polite to her. At the very least, he didn't ignore her.

The woman was stunned. "You're married?" Faced with Shawn's silence, the woman continued uneasily, "I became a teacher in this school after graduation. Many former classmates have come to visit over the years, but I've never seen you before… I'm sorry. I don't even know what I'm talking about. I'll go home now."

With that, she left the classroom.

I turned to look at Shawn. "She said she was your classmate."

"Yes. We were the only students from Athium."

I chuckled. "You said you don't remember her."

I didn't expect Shawn to lie.

"So what if I remember her? She used to be secretly in love with me. If I had said I remembered her, it would've given her a false sense of hope. I didn't want that to happen."

Many women were in love with Shawn, including his former classmate.

"It must be a fond memory for her to be secretly in love with you," I said.

"I know, so I've never exposed her."

Fundamentally, Shawn was a kind person, for he wasn't willing to hurt his former classmate.

I changed the topic by saying, "Why don't we keep walking around?"

"They must have arrived at this hour."

He was talking about Diego, Ian, and the others.

"Oh. It'll take us an hour to reach home, though."

Espoo was a special city. One side of it faced the sea, while the other side was covered in a forest. The scenery in this place was stunning. Seated in the passenger's seat, I said, "I love this place. When the kids are slightly older, I want to bring them to this place and settle down. What do you think?"

"Sure. We'll do that when the dust settles."

"Sunny, I want to talk to the kids on a video call tonight."

During this period, I frequently talked to them through video calls. However, they were still very young, so they didn't understand that I missed them terribly.

He replied, "We'll be staying in Finland for quite a while. If you miss them, I'll ask Waylen to bring themProperty © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

here."

"Alright. Tell Kevin to do that. By the way, have you met Eilam? I'll ask Kevin to send him to Finland as well."

The man muttered, "Eilam…"

"What's wrong?"

Shawn smiled. "He's the eldest son you've found for me."

"Eilam is a good kid."

"I'll probably train him."

It was apparent to me what he meant.

"How will you do that?"
