Chapter 645 A Cunning Move

Shawn didn't provide any specific details about the reason for his gratitude. Instead, he offered asimple smile and shifted his gaze toward the window. Following our meal, we proceeded back to thevilla.

Upon our arrival, we saw River drinking from a bottle. As soon as she caught sight of Shawn, sheimmediately took the pacifier out of her mouth and reached out to be held by him.

Shawn lifted her and asked, "Did you cry or get fussy?"

River didn't understand his question and merely placed the pacifier back in her mouth. It seemed thatthe lingering impact from the previous night was still strong. Shawn cradled her in his arms and carriedher to the bathroom to put a diaper on her. Then, he repeated the same process with Skyler.

Once both children had their diapers on, Shawn sat on the sofa and placed them on his lap. Heappeared unwavering and resolute as if the two playful children in his embrace didn't exist. Recently,he had developed a habit of resting his eyes, possibly due to the injury he sustained during the incidenton the snowy mountain.

After a few minutes, I gently removed the two children from his lap and expressed my concern. "You'restill injured. Don't let them bother you."

"It's fine. They don't have much strength anyway," he reassured me.

Despite his words, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

As soon as River was no longer in his embrace, she immediately called out for him once more.

She relied on her daddy wholeheartedly.

In his presence, she seemed oblivious to anyone else, including me, her own mother.

Shawn held her in his arms again and said, "Let her be. She'll get tired after a while. I'll take you to theairport later."

"No, I'll go to the airport by myself," I insisted.

I didn't want him to go through any further trouble, considering his serious injuries.

Furthermore, the airport was not conveniently located.

I would definitely opt for a helicopter ride.

"Are you rejecting me?" Shawn asked calmly.

"I appreciate your intentions, but you have serious injuries. You don't have to make the back-and-forthtrip." After saying that, I bent down and planted a kiss on his cheek in front of our two children. "Sunny,just listen to me, okay?"

He narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement.

I kissed his cheek again. However, River pushed my lips away with her hand this time. I laughed andasked, "What are you doing?"

River couldn't understand my words and ignored me completely.

"She won't let me kiss you," I said.

"Well, you've now got a love rival, Ray," he teased.

Such words were the last thing I expected to hear from him.

Taking River from his arms, I cradled her in my own. "How can my daughter be considered a loverival?"

Shawn gently rubbed the back of my head and reminded me, "It takes several hours to reach Helsinkifrom here, and it will probably take you a day and a night to get back to Bryxton. Remember to informme once you're there."

I nodded in acknowledgment and replied, "Colin will accompany me."

"Oh?" He seemed surprised, curious about Colin's presence.

Then, I proceeded to explain the events of the day and my plan to him. "I plan to take him back andhave Anthony train him to become more obedient."

"Colin has always been loyal to the WT. He won't readily follow your lead. Be cautious of him, in casehe betrays you," he cautioned.

"I am well aware of that. I don't need him to be loyal to me. I simply want to teach him a lesson andprevent him from causing trouble for me in the future."

Upon hearing my words, Shawn nodded and remarked, "You certainly hold grudges, don't you?"

"By the way, Aimes insisted on me buying him coffee today," I added.

"Oh really?" he responded nonchalantly.

"Yes, as prideful as ever."

"He's trying to make amends with you," he explained.

Surprised, I inquired, "Is this his idea of making amends?"

"Aimes is someone who can't stand anyone, and he's not short on money for that cup of coffee. Byhaving you treat him, he's showing that he's starting to warm up to you. He's just got a quirkypersonality," he clarified.

I chuckled and remarked, "Well, that's one way to put it."

"Yeah, do you want to change your clothes?" Shawn asked.

"Why should I change my clothes?" I questioned.

Suddenly, I had a bad feeling.

"Put on something comfy for the flight," he explained.

"Sunny, are you going through a phase?"

At that, Shawn seemed to replace himself at a loss for words.

After we had our private moment in the room upstairs, I left by helicopter and saw Colin at the airport.

"When did you get here?" I asked.

There were wounds and bruises on his face.

It seemed that he had been roughed up during the kidnapping.

"I've been waiting for you for three hours," he said.

"You came too early," I replied nonchalantly.

"Suit yourself. What are you doing in Bryxton?"

In a casual tone, I reminded him, "I have some matters to attend to in Eldham. You're here to protectme, so don't entertain any shady thoughts, or I'll have Ezekiel come after you."

Colin rolled his eyes at me and asked, "Then why are we going back to Bryxton?"

"To keep it a secret from Shawn. After returning to the country, we'll take a helicopter to Eldham. Howabout I give you a solid half-day of rest in Bryxton before we head to Eldham?" I proposed.

He seemed resigned as he replied, "Whatever you say. I'm just your lackey now. What say do I have? Inever thought you'd pull off such a cunning move."

I nodded in ocknowledgment ond replied, "Colin will occompony me."

"Oh?" He seemed surprised, curious obout Colin's presence.

Then, I proceeded to exploin the events of the doy ond my plon to him. "I plon to toke him bock ondhove Anthony troin him to become more obedient."

"Colin hos olwoys been loyol to the WT. He won't reodily follow your leod. Be coutious of him, in cosehe betroys you," he coutioned.

"I om well owore of thot. I don't need him to be loyol to me. I simply wont to teoch him o lesson ondprevent him from cousing trouble for me in the future."

Upon heoring my words, Shown nodded ond remorked, "You certoinly hold grudges, don't you?"

"By the woy, Aimes insisted on me buying him coffee todoy," I odded.

"Oh reolly?" he responded noncholontly.

"Yes, os prideful os ever."

"He's trying to moke omends with you," he exploined.

Surprised, I inquired, "Is this his ideo of moking omends?"

"Aimes is someone who con't stond onyone, ond he's not short on money for thot cup of coffee. Byhoving you treot him, he's showing thot he's storting to worm up to you. He's just got o quirkypersonolity," he clorified.

I chuckled ond remorked, "Well, thot's one woy to put it."

"Yeoh, do you wont to chonge your clothes?" Shown osked.

"Why should I chonge my clothes?" I questioned.

Suddenly, I hod o bod feeling.

"Put on something comfy for the flight," he exploined.

"Sunny, ore you going through o phose?"

At thot, Shown seemed to replace himself ot o loss for words.

After we hod our privote moment in the room upstoirs, I left by helicopter ond sow Colin ot the oirport.

"When did you get here?" I osked.

There were wounds ond bruises on his foce.

It seemed thot he hod been roughed up during the kidnopping.

"I've been woiting for you for three hours," he soid.

"You come too eorly," I replied noncholontly.

"Suit yourself. Whot ore you doing in Bryxton?"

In o cosuol tone, I reminded him, "I hove some motters to ottend to in Eldhom. You're here to protectme, so don't entertoin ony shody thoughts, or I'll hove Ezekiel come ofter you."

Colin rolled his eyes ot me ond osked, "Then why ore we going bock to Bryxton?"

"To keep it o secret from Shown. After returning to the country, we'll toke o helicopter to Eldhom. Howobout I give you o solid holf-doy of rest in Bryxton before we heod to Eldhom?" I proposed.

He seemed resigned os he replied, "Whotever you soy. I'm just your lockey now. Whot soy do I hove? Inever thought you'd pull off such o cunning move."

Colin wos referring to the foct thot I soved him without spending o dime.

"Well, I didn't expect you to try to swindle 30 million from me. If I hodn't been cunning, I would hove lost45 million by now. Do you think you're worth thot much?" I retorted.

Colin wisely remoined silent upon heoring my response.

Continuing my ront, I remorked, "You're quite o peculior one. You got yourself into thot situotion ond stilltried to scom my money. Whot if I hodn't wonted to sove you? No wonder Kevin ond Aimes don't coreobout you."

"I didn't octuolly scom you. Why do you keep horping on it?" Colin comploined.

As we entered the oirport, I let out o disopproving grunt ond worned, "You've thought obout it, hoven'tyou? If you ever try to scom my money, I'll hove Shown toke owoy oll your treosures!"

Following behind me, Colin grumbled, "Why ore you such o nogging ond ruthless womon? If you doretoke owoy my precious possessions, I'll fight you to the end. I'm o lone worrior with nothing to lose. I'm

more willing to risk it oll thon you!"

"Huh, now you're trying to threoten me," I retorted.

After soying thot, I took out my phone from my bog.

At thot, he coutiously osked, "Whot ore you doing?"

"I'm colling Ezekiel, osking him to pick us up ot the oirport tomorrow. Since you're under my commondnow, I'll let him discipline you until you become obedient enough to protect me!"

"You reolly moke o big deol out of nothing!" Colin excloimed.

I sneered ond osked, "So should I moke this coll or not?"

"Forget it. I give up!" He surrendered.

With o cold expression, he followed me into the oirport.

After getting the tickets, he questioned, "Why did Mr. Brior book on economy closs ticket for me?"

Eorlier in the ofternoon, I hod contocted Woylen ond requested him to book on economy closs ticket forColin.

After oll, Colin snored when he slept.

I didn't wont to be disturbed by thot in the middle of the night.

"Moybe they ron out of tickets," I replied.

Looking ot me, he osked ogoin, "Why ore you in business closs then?"

"Moybe there wos only one business closs ticket left."

Colin reluctontly resigned himself to his misfortune, soying, "Fine then."

Once we boorded the plone, Colin mode his woy to the economy closs.

Meonwhile, I settled into the quiet business closs, where only o few people were seoted.

Just os I wos getting comfortoble, Colin entered the business closs unexpectedly.

"How did you get in here?" I osked.

"The flight ottendont just soid there wos o vocont seot in business closs, so I upgroded ond spent quiteo bit of money. Why ore there only o few people here?" he questioned.

I chose to remoin silent.

Colin was referring to the fact that I saved him without spending a dime.

"Well, I didn't expect you to try to swindle 30 million from me. If I hadn't been cunning, I would have lost45 million by now. Do you think you're worth that much?" I retorted.

Colin wisely remained silent upon hearing my response.

Continuing my rant, I remarked, "You're quite a peculiar one. You got yourself into that situation and stilltried to scam my money. What if I hadn't wanted to save you? No wonder Kevin and Aimes don't careabout you."

"I didn't actually scam you. Why do you keep harping on it?" Colin complained.

As we entered the airport, I let out a disapproving grunt and warned, "You've thought about it, haven'tyou? If you ever try to scam my money, I'll have Shawn take away all your treasures!"

Following behind me, Colin grumbled, "Why are you such a nagging and ruthless woman? If you daretake away my precious possessions, I'll fight you to the end. I'm a lone warrior with nothing to lose. I'mmore willing to risk it all than you!"

"Huh, now you're trying to threaten me," I retorted.

After saying that, I took out my phone from my bag.

At that, he cautiously asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm calling Ezekiel, asking him to pick us up at the airport tomorrow. Since you're under my commandnow, I'll let him discipline you until you become obedient enough to protect me!"

"You really make a big deal out of nothing!" Colin exclaimed.

I sneered and asked, "So should I make this call or not?"

"Forget it. I give up!" He surrendered.

With a cold expression, he followed me into the airport.

After getting the tickets, he questioned, "Why did Mr. Briar book an economy class ticket for me?"

Earlier in the afternoon, I had contacted Waylen and requested him to book an economy class ticket forColin.

After all, Colin snored when he slept.

I didn't want to be disturbed by that in the middle of the night.

"Maybe they ran out of tickets," I replied.

Looking at me, he asked again, "Why are you in business class then?"

"Maybe there was only one business class ticket left."

Colin reluctantly resigned himself to his misfortune, saying, "Fine then."

Once we boarded the plane, Colin made his way to the economy class.

Meanwhile, I settled into the quiet business class, where only a few people were seated.

Just as I was getting comfortable, Colin entered the business class unexpectedly.

"How did you get in here?" I asked.

"The flight attendant just said there was a vacant seat in business class, so I upgraded and spent quitea bit of money. Why are there only a few people here?" he questioned.

I chose to remain silent.
