Chapter 605 Welcome to My World

After sunset, we returned to the villa. Shawn bathed the two children while I brought Eilam to hisbedroom on the third floor. Shawn specifically mentioned that he preferred silence when dealing withbusiness matters at night, so no one was to stay on the second floor.

Kevin also explained, "Although we regularly eat and sleep over at Sunny's house, we usually stay overon the first or third floor."

"Okay. So, you and Eilam can share a room."

"Sure. Now, I have someone I can talk with."

"Uhm… Eilam doesn't seem like someone who'll chat with you."

However, Kevin did not mind. "It's fine. I can talk the whole night, so he's bound to reply to me at somepoint. It's better than living alone."

I did not know how to reply to him.

That evening, Diego brought two nannies to the villa. He said it was Shawn's orders because the twochildren were still on breast milk.

Next month would be Skyler and River's first birthday. They were not old enough to stop drinking breastmilk yet, but we had already made plans to stop breastfeeding. Therefore, we had been graduallyreducing their breast milk intake.

"That's great. The children are quite active, and it makes me more relieved to have extra pairs ofhands. Come to think of it, I haven't gotten used to taking care of my children."

"Wives of wealthy families don't have to do everything themselves."

I could not replace words to retort that.

Diego asked, "What are you having for dinner?"

As Kevin was still angry at him for what happened last time, he rebuked, "Hurry up and leave! Go homeif you don't have any business here, and let me be free of annoyance for one night."

Diego spoke in defiance, "Who exactly is the annoying one here? By the way, Aimes has yet to hold afuneral for LG. He says he must wait for Shawn."

When Kevin heard that, he replied, "She has overstepped Sunny's boundaries more than once, so hewill never attend her funeral."

"What you said is true, but we can't do anything about Amies' stubbornness."

Kevin replied, "Let him do whatever he wants. You, on the other hand, leave."

Diego originally wanted to stay over for dinner but was chased away by the vengeful Kevin. When Iarrived upstairs, I saw Shawn had finished giving the children their baths and even helped themchange into pretty clothes.

Just as I entered the room, I saw him caressing River's cheeks with his fingers while hesitantlyspeaking to me, "She's so young. This tiny child needs to be meticulously cared for to grow uphealthily." He exclaimed, "She's so fragile."

"As her father, it's your responsibility to do those meticulous things."

He replied softly, "You're right. Those are things that a father should do."

"Sunny, what would you like for dinner?"

"I need to leave in a while," he informed me.

"Well, when are you coming home?"

He gave a short reply. "Tomorrow night."

"Remember to have your meals. Don't starve yourself."

"I know. You don't have to remind me of everything."

With a bitter expression, I asked, "Are you saying I'm annoying?"

"Ray, you're putting words into my mouth."

A few minutes later, Shawn left the villa with Eilam, who had just arrived today. I was worried aboutthem, but Kevin assured me that everything was under Shawn's control, so there was no reason for meto worry. What he said was true, but Eilam and Shawn had not had the chance to get to know eachother.

I wonder how they would get along.

…

Inside the helicopter, Shawn had changed into a formal black suit with a standard white shirt insidebefore resting. Occasionally, he would glance at the quiet young man. "Hey—"

Eilam realized he was calling him and asked, "Father, you called?"

Hearing that, Shawn curled his lips into a smile. "You're a fast learner."

Eilam pursed his lips before asking, "What do you need?"

"Are you sure you want to cut ties with the Yonder Family?"

Eilam's eyes glistened as he confirmed. "Yes."

Seeming to have thought of something, Shawn began. "I left the Xenos Family before I turned ten andhave been living in Europe since. I consider Finland my real home, but there were times during the latenights when I'd think of the Xenos Family and wonder why else I would return to the Xenoses besidesclaiming my rights as the successor. After thinking about it for many years, I finally remembered thatmy mother was there. Although she treated me coldly, we're bound by blood, and I can't help but yearnfor her attention."

After listening to his story, Eilam seemed to have understood something. He asked softly, "What areyou trying to tell me, Father?"

"Your biological parents remain alive, but you chose me and Mrs. Xenos to be your parents. Since youstill have ties buried deep inside you while joining the Xenos Family, I can't be sure that you'll alwaysstand by our side. Do you understand what family means?"

Eilam respectfully replied, "Please tell me."

"Your family are people you'll never abandon no matter what danger or difficulties you face. Also, you'llalways see their safety as your top priority and have ample trust in them. I hope you can see the XenosFamily like how you see your religion."

"Are you afraid I might hurt—"

Shawn interrupted him and spoke calmly, "I'm not worried you'd hurt them. I just hope you canunderstand what I expect from you. Likewise, I'll have the same conversation with Skyler and River inthe future." With a tired body, he massaged his head with his fingers while explaining, "As children of

the Xenos Family, you need to have a backbone, and you must all band together and help each other.Eilam, I will be testing you for the next two years. If you're not suited to become a Xenos, I won't let youstay with us anymore."

Shocked, Eilam explained, "So, this is what you meant earlier. I understand. You can rest assured that Iwon't dive too deep into my past affinities and memories, nor would I hesitate when making my choice.If I were raised by the Xenoses, then the Xenos Family… You, Mother, Skyler, and River have myabsolute trust! That also means that if the Yonder Family and Xenos Family were to get into a dispute, Iwill stand by the Xenos Family and protect their benefits."

Shawn nodded in satisfaction when he saw how smart and understanding the young man was. "Great.I'm sure they'll treat you the same way."

Eilam was taken aback. His eyes widened as he stared at the indifferent man sitting before him like hehad everything under his control. "You…"

"To us, you're family too. Since I laid my expectations, of course, I'll expect them to do the same. I won'tfavor one child over the other."

After saying that, Shawn closed his eyes to rest. He had been in Eilam's shoes and was alsoabandoned, so he knew Eilam's thoughts and concerns. As a parent, he was doing his job to make himfeel at ease.

At the same time, he was trying to confirm Eilam's thoughts.

In the past, Shawn would not have bothered to do such a thing as he had never thought he would needto ease a child. However, his wife had chosen him, so as someone who was forced to become thechild's father, it was in his best interest to help the kid. Also, he should see Eilam as his own and teachhim with care.

He had his children but would not favor one over the others. He hoped that Eilam could become anexcellent person who could take charge on his own and help the Xenos Family. To prevent Eilam fromfeeling inferior, Shawn had to train a separate force for him. However, those were just afterthoughts ashe had already made a decision.

Eilam carefully asked, "Where are we going?"

"Eilam, I welcome you to my world."
