My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 251

The rotten smell of the Xenos Family permeated the villa, and the room was filled with Shawn's scent. I found it

uncomfortable and it put me on edge the whole time. Thus, I only lay for a moment before I slid out the bed.

Taking my phone with me, I walked toward the courtyard's exit and saw Joseph, who was standing by the whole

time. "Let's go back to Bryxton," I whispered to him.

I used to want to escape the city where Nicholas was, so I brought the whole Felix Family to Eldham. Even though

the Felix Family met its inevitable downfall in Eldham later, deep down inside, I had no regret over the matter

knowing at least I made the effort.

But now, I longed to go back to Bryxton because I wanted to escape Shawn. After all this time, I was fonder of the

humid climate in Bryxton.

Joseph obeyed my order. "I'll do it right away."

After that, he left the courtyard. Shawn used to tell me not to run around the enormous villa as he was worried that

somebody would pick on me.

Nobody would expect Anna to pick on me for real in the end.

However, nobody could ever find fault with me even if I ran around today, because I had the whole villa all to

myself.

I walked down the stone pavements toward the exit. I wasn't worried about getting lost in the villa because I was

aware of the bodyguards following me. I could always seek their help if anything happened.

Most importantly, I wasn't lost in the villa. It took me less than twenty minutes to make it to the exit. Shawn was

standing outside the door as he gazed into the distance with his head raised.

The sky beyond us was hazy. It seemed like it would rain soon, but the snow under my feet had yet to melt.

A few minutes later, Joseph came back to me. I followed him and walked past Shawn before I got in the car.

Throughout, Shawn never stopped me from leaving.

It looked like we were really parting ways this time.

It was almost evening when we returned to Bryxton. Instead of the hilltop villa, I headed to the apartment

downtown where I had always resided.

It was quiet in the apartment. Joseph headed downstairs after passing me the book in the car. I brought the book

with me back to my room and closed the door.

Putting the book on my bed, I soaked in the bathtub. My body relaxed after a warm bath. I was able to do anything

with renewed vigor. Leaning against the bed, I tried to kill time by reading The Watcher in the Paddy Field.

I found the bookmark again, and so did the words on the bookmark come into view.

'I haven't loved anyone before, so you're my first love. I'm afraid that if I don't do well, it will make you think that

love is nothing more than that.'

Shawn loved me deeply. At least he did before everything happened. But now, I can no longer understand him.

I put the bookmark back in its original spot and continued to read. A few moments later, I received a message from

May. 'I fought with Rudy.'

Her words worried me. "What happened?"

"He has a fiancée, and he has been waiting for her the whole time. He never told me about her."

He what?

Feeling that it was a serious deal, I sent her another message to learn her whereabouts.

She shared her current location with me. There was resentment in her reply. 'She asked to meet me. I have a

feeling that she's trying to intimidate me.'

May was meeting up with the other woman soon.

Worried, I sent her another message. 'Wait for me.'

I slid out of the bed and changed into a casual outfit consisting of a top and a skirt before heading out with a black

trench coat on my arm. Joseph sent me to my destination as stated in the address.

I went into the shop but didn't look for an empty seat beside May. Instead, I sat at the table next to hers and

ordered a cup of hot Green Mountain Coffee.

Noticing my presence, she winked at me to acknowledge me.

I returned her antics with a gentle smile and began to concentrate on the phone in my hands. As I browsed through

the unread messages, I found the message from Christopher on Christmas night. 'Emma left without saying

goodbye and followed Diego to Finland.'

The girl Christopher was in love with followed the man she loved back to his hometown. It was nothing short of a

fatal blow to Christopher.

I typed out a reply. "I'm sorry. I just saw your message."

After pondering for a while, I looked for Emma on WhatsApp and inquired about her whereabouts. I didn't get an

immediate reply but heard May at the other table asking, "I supposed you're meeting me today to ask me to leave

Rudy, am I right?"

A pretty woman was sitting opposite May. Her retro British-style plaid dress complemented her gentleness and

beauty, just like Kiara when I first met her. You could tell she was a proper lady at first glance.

The woman shook her head and answered with a calm expression, "We have known each other for ages. It was

back when he was younger that he promised to marry me in the future, and he announced to the others that I'm

his future bride. I believed his words and dated him back then. After that, he returned to the country while I was still

staying abroad. By the time I finally heard from him again, he was seeing you. It's only natural if I feel sad.

However, all men are the same. Most of them can't help themselves but cheat on their girlfriends for a change of

scenery."

May was taken aback. "Are you accusing me of being the third person here?"

The woman shook again and spoke gently, "I'm not the kind of woman who is adept at competing over something.

If Rudy has feelings for you, I'll quit the game. You're wrong, though. I didn't come all this way to Bryxton to discuss

this topic with you. I'm not planning to do that."

May kept her composure as she asked, "What do you want?"

The woman cut to the chase. "Have you slept with him?"

May was surprised to hear that because the woman had asked a private question.

She added with a sincere expression, "I didn't mean to pry. All I want to know is if he's still a virgin. So, did you two

sleep with each other?"

May's silence was a tacit admission, but the woman smiled in relief before she continued in generosity, "I'm looking

for loyalty from men. I wouldn't want my boyfriend back if he had slept with another woman, no matter how much I

loved him."

May paled at the words. The woman then continued politely, "I've got nothing personal against you, but I loathe

Rudy and his promises. The words disgust me. From now on, I've got nothing to do with him. Goodbye, Ms.

Sommer."

Those words were tearing May apart as if indicating Rudy was a player who played with the woman's feelings while

May was the disgraceful third person in the relationship, leaving the first girlfriend a victim. Even more, the woman

acted like the bigger person in the situation without making a fuss out of it and announced to quit the love triangle.

The woman pushed her chair back and left while the blood drained from May's face. As she tried to explain, May

promptly stood up to go after the woman, but she was surprised to see Rudy when she turned around.

He stopped the woman in her tracks near the exit. He didn't notice May's presence in the cafe at all. We could hear

their conversation from where we sat. "Hannah, why didn't you tell me that you're coming to Bryton?"

Hannah. The way he addressed her with such intimacy rang through May's mind.

However, Hannah sneered. "It's none of your business."

Rudy grabbed her elbow and patiently warned, "Don't push it, Hannah. Let's go home. They're worried about you."

His touch finally frustrated her. She raised her high heel-clad foot and kicked him on his calf underneath the dress

pants with all her might. She then added in disdain, "Don't use your hand that ever touched another woman to

touch me again! You're disgusting!"

He instantly let her go at the words.

"You knew that already?"

Even I couldn't believe the words coming out of Rudy.

He spoke in guilt, much like a husband who got caught cheating on his wife.

When May heard that, she bit her lip so hard that she started to bleed.

She was wronged in the situation.

"So what? You can live happily ever after with your girlfriend, but I'm going back to Switz
