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’mfinally 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 hadfailed 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 amessage. '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 isthat 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 matterwhat. 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 aboutthe kids?'

'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 heattended, 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 attendher 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, sowe'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 withAimes 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, hereplied, 'Ray, I love you! Oh my goodness! No work tomorrow! I'll go and show it off to Emma rightaway! 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 goearly 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 hisharsh words, he's not a bad person. It seems that Shawn's sudden decision to attend LG's funeral wasinfluenced by you, am I right? He's a man of his word and has never gone against what he said. Hisactions 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 buysome 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 growup. 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 feltsomeone embracing me from behind. Knowing that it was a man, I did not open my eyes and just sleptpeacefully 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 onmakeup, 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 candyand popped it into my mouth. It had a refreshing lemon flavor, tangy and sweet, and it was easy to getaddicted to!

I proceeded to do my makeup, spending extra time to style my long hair into soft, bouncy curls, leavingsome 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 waydownstairs to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Eilam had already woken up and started exercising, andthe two children were awake too.

When breakfast was done, I called Eilam to join me at the table. Once we had eaten, he continued hisstudies with his tutor. His daily tasks were quite demanding. However, I did not assign them to him, itwas 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 stillbump into one or two people. I could not understand the language they were speaking, but our nannytold 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 thebackyard to practice playing the piano. The nanny held Skyler and River, serving as my audience. Timeflew. Before I knew it, it was already noon, and as agreed, Kevin arrived at the villa just in time to havelunch.

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 hebought.

He uploaded the photo to his Instagram with the caption. 'As an uncle, I have fulfilled myresponsibilities!'

This reminded me of the perfunctory hug that Shawn had given to Skyler and River when he returnedhome 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!"
