Chapter 639 Changing Diapers
However, Shawn shook his head. He hugged my shoulders and comforted me after seeing my unwilling face, "Lack
of sleep is the main reason for my tiredness. Naturally, I will return to work at the company when I feel I have
rested enough. Don't worry, Ray. I won't come back too late."
There was no stopping him after he had made a decision.
Besides, he was indeed busy.
I couldn't help but compromise. "Only if you take me with you."
"Alright, you can stay at home with the kids in the morning and come to the company in the afternoon. Then, we'll
go home together in the evening. Is that okay with you?"
His voice was warm and gentle.
I nodded. "Yeah, that's a deal."
Shawn pursed his lips and smiled. "You're acting like a child."
"I'm not arguing with you," I denied.
"Alright, let's go back to our room."
Shawn and I saw Eilam playing with Skyler and River as we went downstairs. I approached him and asked, "What do
you want for dinner?"
"Anything at all. I'm not picky."
"Anything? Nothing is more complicated than that for the one who's preparing the meal."
"Is that so? Well, let me think for a few minutes."
I left them and went to the kitchen following that. I prepared simple homemade dishes for dinner. Eilam took the
initiative to wash the dishes after we finished the meal.
We watched cartoons in the living room in the evening even though we weren't actually interested in watching TV.
We were only watching it with the kids. Meanwhile, Eilam only stayed for half an hour before he went upstairs to his
room.
River wet her pants after Eilam went back to his room, and the nanny wasn't around when Shawn was here. Now,
there were only two adults, but Shawn didn't even ask me to help. He took River to the bathroom while I quickly
went to get new baby pants.
Shawn threw River's wet pants on the floor. Then, I gave him the clean pants, and he carefully helped River put
them on. He asked, "Does she need a diaper?"

River appeared small and cute when she was lying in Shawn's arms. I only shook my head and replied, "No. She
does not wear diapers at home."
Shawn nodded before carrying River out of the bathroom.
However, River pooped when she was being held by Shawn. It was just their luck. Things wouldn't get this ugly if we
had put diapers on River. At that instant, I noticed Shawn's face darken while River bit her own finger innocently.
Then, Shawn grabbed River's collar at the back of her neck and headed into the bathroom while I suppressed my
laughter as I went back upstairs to find River a clean set of clothes. I saw Shawn bathing River when I was back
downstairs. His own clothes were already soaking wet.
Shawn probably just rinsed his body with water after what happened.
Shawn took off his own clothes after bathing River, and he ordered, "Get me a set of clean clothes, Ray." I went
upstairs once again and got him another set of clothes. He took off his clothes and casually rinsed his body before
changing into clean clothes. However, we saw Skyler sitting on the spot where River pooped when we returned to
the living room. Shawn was already on the edge. Even I couldn't believe what I saw at that instant.
But Shawn only grabbed Skyler's collar from the back silently and headed into the bathroom once again as I
cleaned up the living room.
Shawn immediately put diapers on both River and Skyler this time after he came out of the bathroom. Twenty
minutes had passed since all the fuss began. Suddenly, he said to me after putting the children on the large couch,
"Taking care of these two is really something else."
"Is this the first time you've bathed them?"
"I don't usually have time. Besides, we have a nanny at home."
I hugged him and replied, "I must be the most relaxed wife even though I'm the mother of these two. Everything
comes easily to me. In fact, even I've never done any of those we just did before."
"That's the whole point of making money."
"Yeah, but River's poop really stinks."
Shawn's face instantly darkened when he heard my words.
He had obsessive-compulsive disorder when it came to cleanliness. He could tolerate River only because she was
his own daughter. He wouldn't have been so patient if it were any other children.
Suddenly, Shawn muttered, "I never thought I would have these sweet children."
"What? Are you about to give a speech, Sunny?"
"I'm just baffled at how quickly things can turn in life."
Then, he kissed my cheek and continued, "Call the nanny. Let's go back to our room and rest. I want to treat you to
something later."
I laughed and asked, "Can you at least try to hide it a little?"
Shawn only smiled and remained silent. Then, I took advantage of the situation and added, "You're becoming more
and more shameless, Shawn. There's only that one thing in your mind right now."
"But surely you don't want me to lose interest in you, Ray."
I was left speechless.
Shawn had a point.
I sent a message to the nanny, who was in the backyard, using my phone. We only left after she had arrived, and I
held Shawn's hand as we returned to their room.
...
I woke up early in the morning feeling a bit sore. I glanced over and found Shawn, who was supposed to be next to
me gone missing. I put on my clothes and went downstairs, and I saw Shawn and Eilam in the kitchen. "What are
you guys up to?" I asked as I leaned against the archway leading to the kitchen.
"We are preparing steaks," Eilam replied.
"Aren't steaks too greasy and heavy for breakfast?"
"Father said they're good for replenishing energy."
Suddenly, I recalled what happened last night.
Last night, Shawn and I did it over and over again.
I pretended to be clueless and said, "I wonder who the steaks are for."
Then, Shawn turned around and answered, "You've worked hard."
I replied helplessly, "I didn't do anything."
I went upstairs to wash up and do my makeup following that. They had already finished making breakfast when I
came downstairs again, and I sent Shawn to work after I finished my breakfast.
I took Eilam for a stroll after Shawn left, and I taught him how to play the piano. It was a busy morning.
I packed two sets of lunches before leaving home in the afternoon.
Shawn wasn't in the office when I arrived. So, I sat in his office chair and sent him a message. 'I'm waiting for you in
the office, and I brought lunch for you. Also, I'd love some candy. Please buy some for me, Sunny.'
Twenty minutes later, Shawn returned to the office.
However, he didn't bring candy with him.

I asked disappointedly, "No candy for me?"
Shawn only warned, "Having too much candy is bad for your teeth."
"But I'm not taking them every day."
He opened the lunch box and he replied, "You're acting like a child now."
I argued, "Have you heard how mature a woman can be when she doesn't love a man? I can be more mature than
you ever know. Now, do you prefer me to be childish or mature, Shawn?"
Shawn only pursed his lips and replied, "You're twisting my words."
I tilted my head and stared at the handsome Shawn. "You seem to be smiling more lately. Are you falling deeper in
love with me?"
Shawn answered half-heartedly, "I am."
"You're not being sincere again."
Shawn picked up a fork and asked, "What do I need to do to show that I'm being sincere?"
Then, I bent down and kissed his cheek. "Like this."
He suddenly reached out and hugged me following that. As a result, I instantly fell and sat on his lap, and he
pressed his lips against mine.
Shawn let go of me after a while, and he asked, "How about this?"
My face turned red. "You're teasing me."
"Be good now, Ray,"
He spoke with his magnetic voice, and it was full of charm.
I quickly hid away my blushed face, and I said, "I'm going to Kev's place."
I also brought a lunchbox for Kevin, but I learned that he was still in a meeting earlier through the group chat. So, I
didn't go to him first. I was planning to wait until he was done with the meeting before going to see him, but now I
couldn't wait to leave as I was afraid that I would be tempted to stay longer again.
Eventually, I went to the twenty-third floor to see Kevin. But I saw that he was still in a meeting room with Emma
and Ciara through the window.
Ciara's face appeared pale as usual.
She always seemed to be in a malnutrition state at all times for some reason.
Kevin spotted me, and he exclaimed in front of everyone in the meeting room, "Are you here for a secret visit, Mrs.
Xenos?"
I couldn't do anything but remained silent awkwardly.
