Chapter 707 The Eve of the Dance

• Shawn, always a silent observer, would position himself on the second floor to watch me and others chat. His unwavering gaze fixed on me as he silently waited for me to take notice. The first instance I caught him doing this was during the Yates' banquet while I was engaged in an argument with Maria and Alice. The second time was at the Craigs' banquet. Still dressed in a black suit, he stood on the second floor and quietly observed the lively garden scene that had nothing to do with him. Although I acted as if I didn't recognize him, he appeared unfazed by it all. Later that night, he escorted me home.
• Now, it was the third time.
• He responded to me with gentle eyes and explained, "I'm here to watch over you so that you won't be bullied for no reason."
