My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 225

Never before had Shawn displayed any form of affection in public, and he even started a Twitter account with his name. Never before had Shawn displayed any form of affection in public, and he even started a Twitter account with his name.

I held the tablet shakily and watched in awe as the number of his followers grew from less than a hundred to 200,000, and they were still rapidly increasing. I couldn't help but gush, "He is so popular!"

When Anthony saw the impressed look I had on my face, he said with a smile, "Mr. Xenos has always been very popular, and countless girls are holding a torch for him. Many wanted to contact him, but they had no way of getting closer to him, let alone obtaining his contact information! Now that he finally registered a Twitter account, those girls also finally have a channel to follow him, but alas, he used it to announce the news of his engagement!" After a short pause, he went against his position and added, "I think the only one who could catch his eyes is only you, Miss. The position of the head of the Xenos Family once belonged to him, and I was his assistant for a few years, so I know how he is as a person. He's a man worthy of the rest of your life."

I smiled happily and agreed, "I feel the same."

\ I passed the tablet over to Anthony, then fished out my cell phone and changed my Twitter handle to Renee Felix. After that, I told Anthony the username and password so he could verify me as the head of the Xenos Family, which he soon did.

Just when I was about to continue reposting Shawn's tweet with this account, I saw a reposted

comment by someone with the handle 'Master York' underneath. 'Teehee, I finally have a front-row seat of Mr. Xenos and Ms. Felix tying the knot. It's a lifetime series! As a fan of the couple, I'm here to wish happiness for both of you!"

This Master York was so adorable that I was convinced it was Kevin!

Before we had a falling out, this was how he used to be, and we had already made up during the day.

In the comments beneath, there were also a lot of pictures of Shawn and me. The man was striking in them, and of course, I looked stunning as well. I had playfully remarked that my features were carved out of marble. Thus, my beauty was very 'in your face'.

When I reposted the tweet, I captioned, 'Hee-hee, I love you, my Mr. Xenos!'

Right after I posted it, Anthony sighed next to me. "Miss, I just told you to be reserved."

"What does me being reserved mean?" I asked, peering at him from the corners of my eyes.

I love Shawn, so what if I openly admit it to the public?!

I lowered my head as my eyes flickered through the comments and said solemnly to Anthony, who was standing next to the car, "I was once… About a year and a half ago, I thought I would die soon. At that time, I was still Nicholas' wife, and I stubbornly tried to lure him into a relationship with the Felix Family and a divorce. But he never gave me a single shard of affection! During that time, I was really… so humble that I might as well be prostrating myself and begging for a single shred of affection. Until I met Shawn, only then did I understand what respect, love, confidence, and living without regrets are!"

Yes, confidence.

Even when Shawn was so strong and perfect, I never had the urge to humble myself before him.

I mostly felt a little low in the self-esteem department, but that was vastly different from humility.

Anthony called out to me several times, and I said with a smile, "Now, I finally have a relationship that is hard to come by, so why should I hide and bottle it up? Anthony, I want everyone to know that Shawn is my man, and I'm pleased now."

"As you wish, Miss," Anthony said, letting me be.

…

Half an hour later, Waylen reached the Xenos' Residence. Besides him, there were also Diego and Emma. I took the back seat with Emma and asked curiously, "Why are you together with Diego?"

She was thrilled as she chirped, "Shawn said that he's throwing a party tonight and invited us! Actually, there are only a few of us, just me, Diego, and Ian. The others are busy."

At the thought of Morgan, I asked, "Isn't your sister joining?"

She rolled her eyes and answered, "We didn't bother inviting her."

Emma held a great dislike for her elder sister, but it was a rather good thing that Morgan wasn't coming, lest she spoiled my mood. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

After an hour of driving, we still had yet to arrive at our destination, and the car gradually left Eldham.

"Where are we going?" I asked Diego.

Diego turned around and replied, "Where did you return from today?"

"Are we going to Brimstone Mountain?" I asked, surprised.

Was Shawn waiting for me in that villa?!

It was Diego that gave me a straightforward answer, "Yes, Kevin didn't go to Europe at the last minute because it was Ian who went in his place! Kevin and Shawn are preparing dinner in the villa now, and I'm in for a treat because of you. This is the first time I'm tasting Shawn's cooking!"

I deliberately provoked him. "Sunny made me lunch today as well."

"Look how conceited you are," he said, rolling his eyes.

I blinked and smiled sweetly at the mirror before I ignored him and played with my phone. When I opened Twitter, I saw that Shawn's tweet had reached more than a million likes while my followers were more than 100,000.

Beneath my tweet, Master York left a message. 'Teehee, your comment is even a parody of mine!"

I chuckled lowly and replied, 'Is this fun, Kev?'

Soon, he sent me a private message, 'Why did you reveal my identity, Ray?'

He called me Ray, showing that he had completely forgiven me, and I promptly texted, 'Kev, this will help with the growth of your follower numbers.'

Maybe he was busy cooking as he didn't reply to me anymore.

Honestly, I could feel the anticipation in my heart growing. Would Shawn propose to me?!

A man like him probably wouldn't propose to me in front of everyone in such a flashy manner.

I reckoned he might not even be interested in throwing a party at all, but he did it so that there was a ceremony accompanying the engagement and also for my sake. I was already delighted that he would go to this extent for me!

I would be very content as long as he was by my side.

It was already 9.00PM when we reached the villa on Brimstone Mountain, and Charles was waiting for us at the door. After I hopped out of the car, I heard him addressing me politely and inviting me in. When I stepped in, I turned around and saw him leaving the villa. Although I didn't know where he went, he probably didn't bother sticking around since he wasn't fond of crowds, especially at his age.

The villa courtyard was brightly lit with fairy lights, and a long, white table ran beneath the lights. Candles decorated the table, and a wonderful dinner was spread out under the candles.

Just as we were about to enter the building, Shawn and Kevin happened to come out, and the second I saw Shawn, I bolted toward him and hugged his waist, calling him Sunny sweetly.

Kevin and Diego couldn't help but sigh at the sight, but Shawn merely placed an arm around my shoulder and said, "Let's eat."

While I was enjoying the food, I noticed that there were a lot of rose-themed knick-knacks lying around, and there were even nine stalks of red roses at the door. The packaging was very familiar; it looked a lot like the one I gave Shawn last night!

Shawn noticed my preoccupied thoughts as I kept looking around, so he tilted his head toward me and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Did you specially decorate the garden for me?" I asked in a whisper.

He didn't give me an answer and instead asked, "Do you like it?"

I nodded profusely while I told him I did, and he suddenly held my hand and slipped a ring into my finger. Then, he said huskily, "Ray, I'm not sure how other men propose, but I'll give you a ring for now and propose to you later, okay?"

The engagement was so rushed that he couldn't prepare many things in time, and I knew that he urgently needed to give my parents an explanation as well as a promise to me.

I could feel his earnest and sincere gaze on me, and I couldn't be more content than I was. But, at the same time, I couldn't help but be distracted by the ring rubbing against my skin!

I stared at him foolishly and had only one thing going through my mind—I was going to be his Mrs. Xenos!

Marrying him was such a wonderful thing!

When I didn't say anything in response, he asked softly, "What is it? Are you unwilling to
