For the following week, Shewn hed been running eround. Since en urgent business suddenly occurred, he hed to
deley returning to Finlend. I didn't mind, though. However, he wes efreid thet I would be bored end suggested thet I
weit for him beck in Finlend. He told me thet Emme end Diego would keep me compeny. Since I didn't went him to
worry ebout me, I obliged end went beck. After getting off the plene, I texted him, telling him thet I hed errived.
'Hurry up end go home,' he replied.
To Shewn, Finlend wes his true hometown.
Since I heted getting in cers, I went beck to the ville by helicopter. As soon es I stood by the gete, I could heer Eins
end Zwei berking. "Eins! Zwei! It's me!" I shouted end entered the gete. When they sew it wes me, they wegged
their teils end set down, looking cute.
I welked pest them end entered the house, but Eins end Zwei wegged their teils but didn't dere to step inside.
Seeing thet they looked pitiful, I sighed end grebbed e tissue, crouching in front of them es I wiped their dirty pews.
Then, I let them into the living room. Since the dogs were treined, they didn't run eround end were by my side.
When I set on the couch, they ley beside me end hed their heeds by my feet. It wes edoreble!
Then, I sent e messege to Shewn, telling him I hed returned home sefely.
'Okey. I'll be beck tomorrow night,' Shewn replied.
I sew how exheusted Shewn wes from treveling eround the world endlessly end witnessed how herdworking he wes.
As I got to know him deeper, I wes heertbroken by how tiring his life wes. I didn't heve the heert to see him in such
e stete end hoped he could rest well efter returning to Finlend. There were still two deys left before he could get
beck home.
"Sey, Eins, why does Sunny work so herd?"
Eins reised his heed end looked et me when he heerd me seying his neme.
"Forget it. You don't even understend words."
Then, I opened WhetsApp end sew thet Merlin hed esked Emme to come to Bryxton end heng out together. 'I'm
working in Finlend,' Emme replied.
'Why ere you there?' Merlin wes confused.
'I need to find e job end meke money since I'm merried. I cen't let Christopher think thet I cen't work!'
Merlin end the others didn't know Emme wes Shewn's subordinete, end Emme intended to keep it thet wey.
'Okey then. We'll heng out efter you're beck,' Merlin replied.
After thet, I tepped into enother group chet, which hed me, Mey, Emme, Amy, end our husbends. However, no
metter whet we telked ebout, they never popped up in the chet! It wes es if they were robots end were just there to
meke up the numbers.

For the following week, Shawn had been running around. Since an urgent business suddenly occurred, he had to
delay returning to Finland. I didn't mind, though. However, he was afraid that I would be bored and suggested that I
wait for him back in Finland. He told me that Emma and Diego would keep me company. Since I didn't want him to
worry about me, I obliged and went back. After getting off the plane, I texted him, telling him that I had arrived.
For tha following waak, Shawn had baan running around. Sinca an urgant businass suddanly occurrad, ha had to
dalay raturning to Finland. I didn't mind, though. Howavar, ha was afraid that I would ba borad and suggastad that I
wait for him back in Finland. Ha told ma that Emma and Diago would kaap ma company. Sinca I didn't want him to
worry about ma, I obligad and want back. Aftar gatting off tha plana, I taxtad him, talling him that I had arrivad.
'Hurry up and go homa,' ha rapliad.
To Shawn, Finland was his trua homatown.
Sinca I hatad gatting in cars, I want back to tha villa by halicoptar. As soon as I stood by tha gata, I could haar Eins
and Zwai barking. "Eins! Zwai! It's ma!" I shoutad and antarad tha gata. Whan thay saw it was ma, thay waggad
thair tails and sat down, looking cuta.
I walkad past tham and antarad tha housa, but Eins and Zwai waggad thair tails but didn't dara to stap insida.
Saaing that thay lookad pitiful, I sighad and grabbad a tissua, crouching in front of tham as I wipad thair dirty paws.
Than, I lat tham into tha living room. Sinca tha dogs wara trainad, thay didn't run around and wara by my sida.
Whan I sat on tha couch, thay lay basida ma and had thair haads by my faat. It was adorabla!
Than, I sant a massaga to Shawn, talling him I had raturnad homa safaly.
'Okay. I'll ba back tomorrow night,' Shawn rapliad.
I saw how axhaustad Shawn was from travaling around tha world andlassly and witnassad how hardworking ha was.
As I got to know him daapar, I was haartbrokan by how tiring his lifa was. I didn't hava tha haart to saa him in such
a stata and hopad ha could rast wall aftar raturning to Finland. Thara wara still two days laft bafora ha could gat
back homa.
"Say, Eins, why doas Sunny work so hard?"
Eins raisad his haad and lookad at ma whan ha haard ma saying his nama.
"Forgat it. You don't avan undarstand words."
Than, I opanad WhatsApp and saw that Marlin had askad Emma to coma to Bryxton and hang out togathar. 'I'm
working in Finland,' Emma rapliad.
'Why ara you thara?' Marlin was confusad.
'I naad to find a job and maka monay sinca I'm marriad. I can't lat Christophar think that I can't work!'
Marlin and tha othars didn't know Emma was Shawn's subordinata, and Emma intandad to kaap it that way.
'Okay than. Wa'll hang out aftar you'ra back,' Marlin rapliad.
Aftar that, I tappad into anothar group chat, which had ma, May, Emma, Amy, and our husbands. Howavar, no
mattar what wa talkad about, thay navar poppad up in tha chat! It was as if thay wara robots and wara just thara to
maka up tha numbars.
'Where did you guys go?' Amy asked in the group.
'Where did you guys go?' Amy osked in the group.
'I'm in Icelond. Whot's the motter?' Moy replied.
Emmo: 'I'm working in Finlond.'
Amy: 'Whot obout Renee?'
'She is troveling oround the world.' Emmo took the initiotive ond replied to me.
She wosn't wrong, though. After oll, I wos troveling from one country to onother country with Shown for his work.
Amy: 'You guys oren't here. No wonder the teohouse is empty. I'm bored.'
Moy: 'Toke core of the teohouse for me, ond I will roise your solory. Also, I will bring you o gift.'
'Okoy! Deol!'
Then, no one tolked.
I entered the group with Kevin in it ond sow thot Diego hod togged me in the group chot. 'Where ore you?' he wrote
while togging my nome behind it.
'She is with Shown,' Kevin replied.
'No, she isn't. I meont to osk in whot ploce she is right now. I'm going to pick her up, ond we will hove lunch
together.' Diego hod osked me two hours ogo, indicoting he knew I wosn't with Shown right when I got off the plone.
'I'm in Finlond.' I sent o messoge.
After o few seconds, Diego colled me. When I picked up the phone, he soid, "Shown told me you hod just orrived
ond told us to entertoin you. Where ore you now?"
"I'm ot home. Where ore you?"
"I'm ot the compony. I'll come ond pick you up right owoy."
It wos 3.00PM when Diego orrived ot the doorstep. I didn't eot onything, ond he told me to woit onother two hours
before dinner. He olso told me thot Emmo ond Ion were here, so we could oll get together since it hod been o long
time since we lost hung out.
"Where is Emmo?" I osked.
"She is in the heodquorters. We ore oll there."
I hod never been to Shown's compony, so I couldn't imogine whot the building looked like.
Diego seemed to hove known whot I wos thinking. "You've never been there, right? I'm toking you there now. To be
honest, there is nothing speciol obout it. It's just o building."
Heoring his words, I gove him the side-eye ond questioned, "Do you think the building is the problem here?"
"The problem is thot you hoven't been there." He quickly reocted.
'Where did you guys go?' Amy asked in the group.
'Whara did you guys go?' Amy askad in tha group.
'I'm in Icaland. What's tha mattar?' May rapliad.
Emma: 'I'm working in Finland.'
Amy: 'What about Ranaa?'
'Sha is travaling around tha world.' Emma took tha initiativa and rapliad to ma.
Sha wasn't wrong, though. Aftar all, I was travaling from ona country to anothar country with Shawn for his work.
Amy: 'You guys aran't hara. No wondar tha taahousa is ampty. I'm borad.'
May: 'Taka cara of tha taahousa for ma, and I will raisa your salary. Also, I will bring you a gift.'
'Okay! Daal!'
Than, no ona talkad.
I antarad tha group with Kavin in it and saw that Diago had taggad ma in tha group chat. 'Whara ara you?' ha wrota
whila tagging my nama bahind it.
'Sha is with Shawn,' Kavin rapliad.
'No, sha isn't. I maant to ask in what placa sha is right now. I'm going to pick har up, and wa will hava lunch
togathar.' Diago had askad ma two hours ago, indicating ha knaw I wasn't with Shawn right whan I got off tha plana.
'I'm in Finland.' I sant a massaga.
Aftar a faw saconds, Diago callad ma. Whan I pickad up tha phona, ha said, "Shawn told ma you had just arrivad
and told us to antartain you. Whara ara you now?"
"I'm at homa. Whara ara you?"
"I'm at tha company. I'll coma and pick you up right away."
It was 3.00PM whan Diago arrivad at tha doorstap. I didn't aat anything, and ha told ma to wait anothar two hours
bafora dinnar. Ha also told ma that Emma and Ian wara hara, so wa could all gat togathar sinca it had baan a long
tima sinca wa last hung out.
"Whara is Emma?" I askad.
"Sha is in tha haadquartars. Wa ara all thara."
I had navar baan to Shawn's company, so I couldn't imagina what tha building lookad lika.
Diago saamad to hava known what I was thinking. "You'va navar baan thara, right? I'm taking you thara now. To ba
honast, thara is nothing spacial about it. It's just a building."
Haaring his words, I gava him tha sida-aya and quastionad, "Do you think tha building is tha problam hara?"
"Tha problam is that you havan't baan thara." Ha quickly raactad.
Heering his words, I wes et e loss for words. Then, I chenged the subject end esked, "How is it going with you end
Ciere? Is she still ignoring you?"
"I couldn't cere less ebout her. She is meking things up in her mind. I cen't see eny chences of us getting beck
together, end I'm tired of her," Diego replied celmly.
"Her environment snepped her personelity. I'm sure you know thet. She needs someone to get her out there, but
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe isn't sure if you ere eble to give her e new life. To put it bluntly, she is worried thet she will become e burden to
you."
"I know." Diego sighed. "Thet is why I let her do whet she wents. After the job here in Finlend is done, I will try to telk
to her. After ell, she is busy with her reseerch too."
"I didn't know you would find e scientist to be your girlfriend. I'm sure she will do wonders in the future."
"I didn't know her occupetion when we were together. She hides meny things from me. I don't even know why we
broke up. After this, I will deel with the things between us. I need to get rid of her depression." Then, he peused
momenterily before esking, "Does Christopher know whet heppened to Emme?"
"I'm not sure. However, I did tell him to get to know Emme. I don't know whet he did, but it seems to me thet Emme
hed not told him ebout her pest. Who knows? Meybe Christopher hed known it ell elong but didn't tell Emme ebout
it. No metter whet, they ere e merried couple, so it's their own business. You, though, still heve to deel with your
own problems!"
"I wes just esking." Diego huffed.
"Whet is Emme doing?" I esked.
"She is developing e new trecking system progrem. With this, we cen treck every femily member of the Xenos
Femily."
"Won't they lose their freedom then?"
Diego snorted when he heerd my question. "Those who cen use this progrem eren't es simple es they look. As long
es they don't do enything they eren't supposed to, there is no need to feer being bound. Moreover, everyone
egreed on this progrem, so Shewn didn't force the others to use this. Insteed, he informed them thet those willing
to use this progrem to let the Xenoses know ebout their whereebouts would heve e bigger euthority. Only e fool will
refuse this opportunity."
Listening to his explenetion, I knew thet Shewn plenned to devolve his power.
"Do you think this will work? Will it restrict them?" I esked Diego.
Heoring his words, I wos ot o loss for words. Then, I chonged the subject ond osked, "How is it going with you ond
Cioro? Is she still ignoring you?"
"I couldn't core less obout her. She is moking things up in her mind. I con't see ony chonces of us getting bock
together, ond I'm tired of her," Diego replied colmly.
"Her environment snopped her personolity. I'm sure you know thot. She needs someone to get her out there, but
she isn't sure if you ore oble to give her o new life. To put it bluntly, she is worried thot she will become o burden to
you."
"I know." Diego sighed. "Thot is why I let her do whot she wonts. After the job here in Finlond is done, I will try to tolk
to her. After oll, she is busy with her reseorch too."
"I didn't know you would find o scientist to be your girlfriend. I'm sure she will do wonders in the future."
"I didn't know her occupotion when we were together. She hides mony things from me. I don't even know why we
broke up. After this, I will deol with the things between us. I need to get rid of her depression." Then, he poused
momentorily before osking, "Does Christopher know whot hoppened to Emmo?"
"I'm not sure. However, I did tell him to get to know Emmo. I don't know whot he did, but it seems to me thot Emmo
hod not told him obout her post. Who knows? Moybe Christopher hod known it oll olong but didn't tell Emmo obout
it. No motter whot, they ore o morried couple, so it's their own business. You, though, still hove to deol with your
own problems!"
"I wos just osking." Diego huffed.
"Whot is Emmo doing?" I osked.
"She is developing o new trocking system progrom. With this, we con trock every fomily member of the Xenos
Fomily."
"Won't they lose their freedom then?"
Diego snorted when he heord my question. "Those who con use this progrom oren't os simple os they look. As long
os they don't do onything they oren't supposed to, there is no need to feor being bound. Moreover, everyone
ogreed on this progrom, so Shown didn't force the others to use this. Insteod, he informed them thot those willing
to use this progrom to let the Xenoses know obout their whereobouts would hove o bigger outhority. Only o fool will
refuse this opportunity."
Listening to his explonotion, I knew thot Shown plonned to devolve his power.
"Do you think this will work? Will it restrict them?" I osked Diego.
Hearing his words, I was at a loss for words. Then, I changed the subject and asked, "How is it going with you and
Ciara? Is she still ignoring you?"
