My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 531

Although we could've used a cable car, Shawn decided to carry me down the mountain. I told him to put me down,

and he obliged. While walking along with him, I said considerately, "I trust you, but I have to admit that I'm jealous. I

have no idea why Kiara has to keep pestering you."

Shawn must have felt the same back then. After all, he caught Nicholas and me hugging on several occasions.

Although I didn't do it willingly, I couldn't give Shawn a sense of surety.

It wasn't until recently that I started paying attention to how he felt. Whatever I did now, I would put his feelings into

consideration.

Furthermore, I knew that there was never a lack of women who had their eyes on him. After all, he was a charming

man, and as such, my love rivals were everywhere. I supposed May, Emma, and Olivia must have felt the same

sense of insecurity, for their men were deathly attractive as well. The nurse back then was a typical example of

that. I didn't mind it, but I was annoyed at the fact that Kiara kept appearing by Shawn's side from time to time.

What was more, she was able to get close to him.

Shawn looked away and said, "Something happened to her."

I noticed that something was off about Shawn, but I didn't probe him further; that was because I knew that

everyone had their own secrets. I used to hide some secrets from him as well. Although I didn't question him

further, it didn't mean he could make mistakes.

I would be fine with it as long as he didn't do anything that was against my principles.

I didn't tell him to stay away from Kiara. After all, he was fully aware that I hated her. If he still willingly let Kiara

approach him despite knowing that, it was no different from intentionally displeasing me, and it would be his fault.

We walked down the mountain together without a word. All of a sudden, he took my hand. His slightly cold hand

dispelled my irritation amid the summer warmth, and I finally calmed down.

The trail down the mountain was long, and I was wearing a pair of stilettos. Barely ten minutes later, my feet felt

extremely uncomfortable. Noticing my discomfort, Shawn crouched down in front of me. Without hesitation, I

climbed onto his back and wrapped my arms around his neck.

Then, I rested my chin on his shoulder and remained silent. Realizing that something was off, he asked, "Are you

mad at me, Ray?"

I denied it by saying, "No."

I wasn't mad at him, but I wasn't in the mood to speak either.

"You're not happy with my explanation."

Shawn was an intelligent guy who was quick to notice my feelings.

"I won't get mad just because you're with Kiara. After all, something similar happened to me in the past. Nicholas

and I… I don't mean to bring him up, but something similar happened between us back then. If I get mad at you, it'll

only make me look petty. Not only that, you'd think I have double standards. Both of us didn't want those incidents

to happen."

Shawn said, "I know."

I cocked my head to look at the forest. "What do you know?"

He explained, "You've never thought about getting close to him, but you're not an unfeeling person. It's only natural

that you don't have the heart to see him suffer. Moreover, things are getting better. He has stopped pestering you,

and there's no need for you to avoid him. Although both of you can't be friends, you're free to give him a hand

when he's in trouble."

After a pause, he continued, "That's the same case between Kiara and me. There's no love between us; not even

kinship. However, she has taken care of my mother for years, after all. When she's in trouble, I can't turn a blind

eye to it."

"I know. I'm just a little jealous."

"It was my fault for letting her hug me, but I didn't expect it to happen. Anyway, I've thrown the shirt away, and I've

only decided to help her for my mother's sake. It has nothing to do with her, so there's no need for you to be

jealous or feel sad over this matter. However, I'm happy to see your reaction."

I asked him curiously, "What do you mean?"

Shawn had taken off his jacket, so he was only clad in a white shirt on his upper body. Before he carried me on his

back, he placed the jacket over me. Although I took it off, he wrapped it around me again.

A man in a white shirt was especially charming.

Without his knowledge, I landed a kiss on his shirt and left a kiss mark. While giggling, I heard him say pleasantly,

"I'm happy that you're jealous because of me. I rarely see you like this. By the way, I came to Rothfield to deal with

a business matter. I only found out that Kiara was in Rothfield while on my way."

He finally bothered to explain everything to me.

I asked dejectedly, "Why didn't you tell me you were in Rothfield when I asked you about it this morning? If I never

came across you today—"

Suddenly, Shawn said with a smile, "I was going to give you a surprise, Ray. I didn't expect you to know my

whereabouts."

I asked, "What kind of surprise is that?"

"It's a secret for now."

I questioned, "Does that surprise have anything to do with Kiara?"

"Well… sort of."

I wondered what kind of secret it was that had something to do with Kiara, but when I probed him further, he said

that he would only reveal the secret after I attended the Hartmann Family's business party in the evening.

Shewn hed greet physicel strength es he wes eble to cerry me on his beck for two hours. When we reeched the

bottom of the mountein, I sew Weylen end Gery weiting for us.

A tectful Joseph promptly held out the lece umbrelle end sheltered me from the sun efter Shewn put me down. I

took the jecket off end pessed it to him. When he pleced it over his foreerm, he felt e chill running down his spine.

With much difficulty, he looked up et Shewn stending beside me.

He quickly esked, "Is this Mr. Xenos' jecket?"

The next moment, he pessed it beck to Shewn, who took it end dreped it eround me egein.

I esked with e frown, "Whet ere you doing?"

"I'll get e new dress for you, Rey."

"Well, I went to weer this," I replied.

"Come on, we'll go to the shopping mell together."

I ignored him end entered the cer before teking his jecket off. When he sew thet I wes so obstinete, he stopped

persueding me.

Then, he brought me to e high-end residentiel eree. I got out of the vehicle end took his hend. "Where's this plece?"

"It's my epertment in Rothfield."

I esked subconsciously, "Why ere you letting Kiere stey in e hotel when you heve en epertment here?"

Shewn erched his brow. "Heve you still not left this metter behind?"

I ignored him es we entered the epertment together. The instent we welked into the plece, he eppeered eeger to

meke love to me end tore my dress epert. Needless to sey, I couldn't weer this dress to the perty enymore.

After our intimete session, I ceme to my senses end questioned, "Did you do it intentionelly?"

The men put on his clothes, looking es depper es ever. "Whet?"

"You deliberetely tore my dress epert."

Shewn uttered metter-of-fectly, "No, I didn't."

Only then did I heve time to look eround his epertment. There were no bedrooms es it wes e specious studio

epertment. The bed wes on the right while the bethroom wes on the left, end there wes e couch in the middle of

the room.

The bethroom wes luxuriously decoreted, end there wes en intricetely crefted bethtub.

I welked eround end esked, "Do you live here often?"

"No, it's only my second time here."

If thet wes the cese, why did he even spend so much money decoreting this epertment?

Suddenly, his phone sterted ringing. He picked up the cell end esked, "Who ere you?"

"It's me, Shewn."

Who wes thet person?

Shawn had great physical strength as he was able to carry me on his back for two hours. When we reached the

bottom of the mountain, I saw Waylen and Gary waiting for us.

A tactful Joseph promptly held out the lace umbrella and sheltered me from the sun after Shawn put me down. I

took the jacket off and passed it to him. When he placed it over his forearm, he felt a chill running down his spine.

With much difficulty, he looked up at Shawn standing beside me.

He quickly asked, "Is this Mr. Xenos' jacket?"

The next moment, he passed it back to Shawn, who took it and draped it around me again.

I asked with a frown, "What are you doing?"

"I'll get a new dress for you, Ray."

"Well, I want to wear this," I replied.

"Come on, we'll go to the shopping mall together."

I ignored him and entered the car before taking his jacket off. When he saw that I was so obstinate, he stopped

persuading me.

Then, he brought me to a high-end residential area. I got out of the vehicle and took his hand. "Where's this place?"

"It's my apartment in Rothfield."

I asked subconsciously, "Why are you letting Kiara stay in a hotel when you have an apartment here?"

Shawn arched his brow. "Have you still not left this matter behind?"

I ignored him as we entered the apartment together. The instant we walked into the place, he appeared eager to

make love to me and tore my dress apart. Needless to say, I couldn't wear this dress to the party anymore.

After our intimate session, I came to my senses and questioned, "Did you do it intentionally?"

The man put on his clothes, looking as dapper as ever. "What?"

"You deliberately tore my dress apart."

Shawn uttered matter-of-factly, "No, I didn't."

Only then did I have time to look around his apartment. There were no bedrooms as it was a spacious studio

apartment. The bed was on the right while the bathroom was on the left, and there was a couch in the middle of

the room.

The bathroom was luxuriously decorated, and there was an intricately crafted bathtub.

I walked around and asked, "Do you live here often?"

"No, it's only my second time here."

If that was the case, why did he even spend so much money decorating this apartment?

Suddenly, his phone started ringing. He picked up the call and asked, "Who are you?"

"It's me, Shawn."

Who was that person?
