Chapter 578 I Enjoy It

The rain was refreshing, and the man was as gentle as the wind breeze. Hearing Shawn's offer mademe stretch out my arms to hug his waist. Then, he returned the hug and caressed my head gently. Helooked like he was coaxing a child.

In a crying voice, I sobbed, "I didn't bring my passport."

"Mr. Briar is sending it over."

I beamed in contentment. "Thank you." Thank you for always reassuring me. Thank you for alwaysbringing me surprises. Thank you for never despising me as a burden. Most importantly, thank you forbeing aware of my expectations. Then, I added, "Will I cause you any inconvenience, Shawn?"

After a gentle tug on the hem of his suit, Shawn released me and stared at me with his uncloudedgaze. "No, you won't."

"Okay, I'll tag along for your sake, then."

He broke out into laughter upon hearing my statement. "Thank you, Ray."

He is trying to save my pride! Then, I greedily clung to his arm as Shawn brought me into the airportand away from the rain outside. Approximately 20 minutes later, Waylen came with my passport. "Mrs.Xenos, these are your passport and your flight ticket. Please keep them carefully."

Waylen had always been trustworthy at handling matters.

"Thanks for making the trip for me."

He returned me a smile and said, "Don't worry about it."

Five minutes later, Shawn brought me along to board the plane. Before I switched off my phone, Ireminded Anthony, "I won't be in Bryxton for a while, so don't send the documents there. You can settlethem yourself."

Previously, the documents left in Bryxton that I didn't have time to process were passed to theassistant, and there had never been a problem. However, a few days ago, I instructed the assistant notto be involved in Xenos Solutions-related matters and to handle Felix Corporation instead.Consequently, I was the only one who could process the documents. If I left the office, there was nodoubt my work would continue to pile up over time. Without a choice, I passed them to Anthony.

"Got it. I'll make sure to process the documents."

On the other hand, the flight took off at 7.09AM due to a slight delay. It was no longer raining, and thesun emerged from the clouds after the rain, resembling a golden ray of light blooming amidst theclouds. I felt as if we were entering a special effects studio. It was beautiful and dazzling.

I couldn't help but be in awe when I withdrew my gaze and looked at the man beside me. We wereseated in the business class, so he was lying down and catching up on sleep with a thin blanket overhis body. He would always lie straight and face the ceiling when he slept, but when I lay beside him, hewould always sleep sideways and hug me all night.

Then, I tucked the blanket's corners under his body and gazed out the window at the early morning

light. As long as I was with him, I didn't care if he was sleeping, awake, talking, or too busy to entertainme. I was content as long as I was by his side.

Since Shawn held a special place in my heart, the thought of being separated from him, even for amoment, was unbearable.

Since the flight from Bryxton to France took more than ten hours, I lay down and tried to catch somesleep after 20 minutes. By the time I woke up, it was already nine hours later. Shawn had alreadywoken up and was going through the documents that he had brought along with him. I didn't bother himbut merely watched him silently. He appeared to be deeply engrossed in his work and didn't realize thatI was awake, but after a while, he noticed something was off.

So, he turned sideways to look at me, and he smiled. "No wonder you weren't moving anymore."

"What?" I asked doubtfully.

"You didn't toss, turn, or blabber, so I figured you must have woken up."

I was taken aback by Shawn's statement. "Do I blabber in my sleep?"

"You've been sleep-talking."

"What did I say?"

I lay on the seat, not wanting to get up, so I continued talking to him in the same posture. He withdrewhis gaze and explained in a low voice, "I'm not sure. Your words are jumbled up when you sleep-talk.

Are you hungry? I'll ask the stewardess to get you some food."

"Not yet. Since when were you awake, Sunny?"

"I just woke up."

I knew he had always been busy, especially these days. Shawn usually only slept on the plane andwould be processing documents as soon as he had time. I was worried about distracting him, so Iquickly shut my eyes.

"What are you doing?" he suddenly asked.

"Go ahead and continue your work. I'll get some more sleep."

"Okay. Call me if you're hungry."

I felt like I had exclusive access to a privilege. The man's affection and attention were reservedexclusively for me; no one else was given such special treatment. At that moment, I remembered LG'sfinal words to me. The man beside me was clearly out of her league, and I relished every moment ofhis tenderness that no one else could have in their entire life.

Suddenly, I felt like a miracle had dawned upon me. The love that Shawn and I shared was distinctfrom the love shared by other couples. Our relationship was far too perfect, but it was genuine. Before Imet Shawn and was married to Nicholas at the time, I could never have dreamed that my life wouldturn out to be so perfect. I never imagined that a man could overindulge me, nor did I anticipate that myrelationship would be more perfect than a movie.

Still, would he get tired? Would he get fed up with tolerating me all the time?

I sighed, but he heard it and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Hmm?" I turned over and hummed.

"What are you sighing for? What were you thinking?"

Shawn knew me inside out. So, I answered, "I'm thinking about our relationship."

"Hmm?" He raised a brow.

Shawn's gaze was still on the documents while I rested my head on my palms and sighed, "Comparedto the past, today's society is fast-moving. The same goes with relationships, but we… Sunny, the loveyou give me seems sweeter than the ones in movie scripts." I paused and added, "In life, avoidingtalking about trivial matters is impossible. We may not have disputes over money, but it is important tokeep the relationship going and learn how to manage a marriage. You never made me sad during ourrelationship, choosing to put up with me instead. This makes me feel like you're not the Sunny youused to be. Instead, you became even more perfect than the male movie lead. You're the perfecthusband, Sunny. I like how perfect you are, but I also like the imperfections that you carry. You'reallowed to be emotional sometimes. I don't know what I'm trying to say, but I want to tell you that in amarriage, the emotions of both parties are equally important. Since you can understand and toleratemy feelings, I can do the same for you, but you never… I don't want to continue requesting it from you.I hope I can also become someone you can rely on."

After hearing that, he placed his document down and looked at me sideways. Then, he asked in a low

voice, "Are you trying to discuss marriage with me, Ray?"

"It suddenly popped into my mind."

"I was never in a relationship," he replied.

"Why would you suddenly bring that up?" I chuckled.

I knew that about him.

"I had never been in a relationship with a woman, not even a mere hug. I know many refuse to believehow someone like me at such a high status could stay abstinent from women, but I'm not. Sadly, Ihaven't met someone I wanted to spend my life with. That's why I remained single until you came intomy life… I've never felt such a warm ray of light like you, Ray. That's why I used to be fearless in thedark."

On the other hand, Rudy said something similar to me a few days ago.

"I used to think that everything I did was for my career, but it didn't bring me joy. I thought this was howI would spend the rest of my life. Even if I were to get married and start a family later, it would still benothing more than the obligations I needed to fulfill. Your appearance… It taught me how to feel joy,fear, anxiety, and other emotions. That's how I know I've finally become a human with flesh and blood.You were the one who injected hope into my system… Even though it may sound formal, I want to saythat the trivial matters you mentioned or how I tolerate you unconditionally are things I can do within my

power. Besides, I've encountered death multiple times, so I know how lucky it is to be alive. A man whohas experienced life and death knows how to cherish life." He added, "Besides, I enjoy it."

Shawn had a sophisticated level of thought. He claimed that unconditionally accommodating andpampering me was because he cherished his existing life, and by doing those things, he felt joy.

"You're making me fall harder for you."

"Mhm. I know," he replied nonchalantly.

"You must know I'm your wife now, so I hope you can always come to me if you're upset."

"Okay. My wife is the best!"

I couldn't hold my laughter upon hearing Shawn's statement. "Okay. Go on and continue with yourwork, then."

After that, I closed my eyes briefly before opening them again. I noticed he was immersed in his workagain, so I looked out the windows. It was foggy outside, but I figured we would arrive at our destinationaround noon due to the time difference between Bryxton and France.

Nonetheless, there are still three or four hours until our arrival! What is Shawn going to do there?Whatever it is, I will not interrupt him. That's right; Robert had returned to France. Should I pay him avisit? After all, when he left… I have been reflecting on myself. However, I am terrified of him. I mustreevaluate my relationship with him and work on mending fences.

At that thought, I decided to wait until Shawn was occupied with work before meeting Robert. I also

forgot to respond to Rudy, even though I was confident he knew what I had decided. Perhaps, I shouldcall him when we landed.

When it was mealtime, Shawn asked me whether I wanted to eat again. I shook my head and replied,"I'm not hungry. Later when you go to work, I'll meet Robert. I may have offended him a few days ago."

"What happened?"

"He thinks I'm pretentious to him."

"Yeah. He's sort of paranoid."

"Still, we—" I hesitated to continue.

"I trust you'll be able to settle the matter," Shawn suddenly commented.

"I haven't even started doing anything."

With a determined gaze, he uttered, "Robert longs for warmth, so he won't reject your effort to makeamends. This is all you need to know."

"Will you be busy later?" I inquired.

"Yeah, but I'll come and pick you up tonight."
