Chapter 609 Die, Shawn Xenos!
The sun had only just set when I got home, but I saw Shawn sitting in the living room with the children while Eilam
was out in the garden training with his bodyguard.
"Why are you back so early today?" I asked in surprise.
"The people at the office are having a gathering tonight."
I went over and hugged his arm. "You didn't go with them?"
"Mommy! Hug me!"
I scooped River into my arms and kissed her cheek as Shawn replied, "I wasn't interested. Has it been tiring for you
lately?"
"Yes, but I'm learning a lot too."
Shawn smiled. "Since you're keeping your days full, I don't have to worry about you. I'll be heading over to Iceland
later to look for Sir."
"When will you be back?" I asked.
Shawn placed his hand on my waist. "Tomorrow evening."
"I'll go with you then. I have tomorrow off."
Shawn eyed me. "Aren't you tired?"
"I'll sleep in your arms later, Sunny."
Shawn didn't respond.
"Are you bringing me with you or not, Sunny?"
"Alright," he said.
I passed River to Shawn. He held her in his arms as I took my phone out and sent a text to May. 'See you soon.'
May replied immediately. 'What do you mean?'
'Shawn and I will be heading to Iceland soon.'

I got up and stood at the door to look at Eilam who was still out on the grass. He had been exercising to build up his
body for the past few weeks. Now that he was getting proper food and nourishment, his complexion was no longer
pallid. He definitely grew taller too!
I hope he'll get as tall as Shawn.
I turned back around to look at Shawn. He was tall but muscular, so he didn't look too skinny. He was very well-
proportioned and alluring too. Even when he was dressed, I could still see his bulging muscles, which were in stark
contrast to his youthful, clean-shaven look.
He was flawless in every way.
Shawn seemed to have noticed my gaze. He lifted his eyes to look at me, and they soon flashed with
understanding. I smiled at him before turning my attention back to Eilam who was still exercising outside.
The sun had only just set when I got home, but I saw Shawn sitting in the living room with the children while Eilam
was out in the garden training with his bodyguard.
His bodyguard was an excellent trainer. At least, he seemed like one to me. I think his name was Seth.
Seth was also rather quiet. Eilam became even more reserved after spending the whole day with Seth. Sometimes,
I worried that Eilam would become a man of few words, just like Shawn.
I withdrew my gaze and walked over to Shawn to express my concern. "What should we do if Eilam doesn't talk
much in the future?"
"Does he talk a lot now?" Shawn asked me back.
"Well, that's true. He doesn't talk much now either."
"Due to his environment, he became a reserved person who rarely shows his thoughts and emotions, so you don't
need to worry about his personality."
"I'm worried he'll turn into another Sunny," I said without thinking.
Shawn's expression darkened ever so slightly. "What about me?"
"You're so reserved and you don't like opening up about your thoughts and emotions too."
Shawn didn't respond. He put River down and went upstairs.
I called the nanny over to keep an eye on the children before following Shawn up.
Shawn had returned to his study and started doing his journaling. I sat down beside him and started flipping through
a book. Since he didn't speak to me at all, I asked, "Are you upset?"
He shook his head a little. "Just wanted to do some journaling since I have some time to spare."
"Your handwriting looks awesome," I praised.
He didn't respond.
"When are we leaving?" I asked.
Shawn glanced at his watch. "In half an hour."
"Shall we do something else, Sunny?"
Shawn's cheeks turned pink. "What are you thinking about?"
"Teach me a few moves I could use in a fight."
Shawn looked up. "That's all?"
"What else did you think it was?" I blinked innocently at him.
He fell silent once more.
I set the book down and asked, "Are you going to teach me or not?"
"Why do you want to learn that?" Shawn asked quietly.
"To exercise and strengthen my body," I replied.
"I'll teach you when we're both free someday."
"We're free now!" I didn't budge.
"I'm journaling right now, Ray."

Shawn finally realized what I was up to.
He set down his pen and sighed. "You're doing this on purpose."
"Just teasing you," I said with a giggle.
As a result of my teasing, Shawn ended up doing me right there in the study. Once we were done, I got dressed and
grumbled, "I was just teasing you. Did you have to do that? There wasn't even any foreplay."
He had a look of a man who was perfectly sated as he pulled on his shirt and instructed, "We have five more
minutes. Get ready to leave."
"It's cold in Iceland. I'm going to change."
I was especially sensitive to cold weather, so I put on several layers and even stuffed some heat packs into my bag.
I also packed some snacks and drinks just in case I got hungry during our journey.
Before leaving with Shawn, I hugged the children and instructed Eilam to take good care of the younger ones.
Waylen didn't come with us. Shawn and I got into the helicopter and I took off my jacket because it was too warm.
Shawn looked at me. "How many layers did you wear?"
"It'll be cold when we get to Iceland."
"That's true. The temperature is very low at night."
Three hours into the flight, the pilot suddenly said, "The navigation system has crashed, Mr. Xenos. I can't ascertain
the flight route."
I quickly looked ahead and saw nothing but snow-capped mountains.
"There have never been any issues with the helicopter," Shawn replied firmly. "Waylen sees to it that someone
checks the helicopter before each flight."
All of a sudden, a maniacal cackle rang out inside the helicopter.
"Die, Shawn Xenos!"
