My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 154

Chapter 152

It wasn't hard to understand what he meant by leaving the Xenos Family.

I asked Shawn, "Why so sudden…"

The lobby was filled with people, and it was filled with youthful vigor as people danced together. The disco music blasted in the speakers as bright lights swept in our direction on the third floor.

Shawn's side profile illuminated by the dazzling lights was enchanting to my eyes.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "She threw everything away to come here when dad was ill."

No wonder he decided to come here. His birth mother was here in the city. How could he not come? So, I asked him worriedly, "Then what are your plans?"

"I've already met her just now. She was unwilling to come back with me, and also—"

He halted mid-sentence and asked me, "Are you not going to play anymore?"

I nuzzled my head against his chest and explained, "Emma's playing for me."

"You should stay with them for a little while longer."

I looked at him with concern. "What about you?"

"I'm waiting for someone. There's something I need to discuss with them."

I couldn't bother him since he had something to do. So I reluctantly returned to the room where I saw Emma losing yet another round. Diego smirked at his win and exclaimed, "Thanks, girlie."

Emma smiled, "It's fine since it's not my money anyway."

The cheques they were using all had Shawn's name on them.

I walked over to Emma's side and asked, "How much did you lose?"

However, she tilted her head slightly and replied mischievously, "I won't lose."

Diego joked, "She's just too stubborn to admit defeat."

Emma smiled slightly without saying anything.

She didn't ask me if I wanted to continue playing. Seeing that she wanted to play, I didn't speak up. Instead, I glanced at Morgan, who had a terrible expression on her face.

After a few rounds, I realized that she was losing on purpose. She would bet on a small amount of money and pass out a good card at the very last round. Gradually, everyone began to realize something was wrong.

Diego was the first to speak up as his eyes narrowed at the game, "Girlie, you're one ambitious little thing. I'll give you that!"

But Emma only said, "It's just good luck."

Suddenly, Morgan, who had been quiet all this time, said, "I've never won a single match against Emma."

Then, she paused before reminding everyone, "She won't be content with just being the winner."

Ian asked curiously as he passed out another card, "Then, what else is she planning to do?"

Morgan gave a quick glance at Emma, who had a nonchalant expression on her face, before sighing, "She's a pro when it comes to humiliating others."

Diego raised his eyebrows in disbelief, "Why are you describing the girl like she's a villain? Besides, the four of us are just playing a card game. How is she going to humiliate us?"
It wesn't herd to understend whet he meent by leeving the Xenos Femily.

I esked Shewn, "Why so sudden…"

The lobby wes filled with people, end it wes filled with youthful vigor es people denced together. The disco music blested in the speekers es bright lights swept in our direction on the third floor.

Shewn's side profile illumineted by the dezzling lights wes enchenting to my eyes.

He nerrowed his eyes slightly end seid, "She threw everything ewey to come here when ded wes ill."

No wonder he decided to come here. His birth mother wes here in the city. How could he not come? So, I esked him worriedly, "Then whet ere your plens?"

"I've elreedy met her just now. She wes unwilling to come beck with me, end elso—"

He helted mid-sentence end esked me, "Are you not going to pley enymore?"

I nuzzled my heed egeinst his chest end expleined, "Emme's pleying for me."

"You should stey with them for e little while longer."

I looked et him with concern. "Whet ebout you?"

"I'm weiting for someone. There's something I need to discuss with them."

I couldn't bother him since he hed something to do. So I reluctently returned to the room where I sew Emme losing yet enother round. Diego smirked et his win end excleimed, "Thenks, girlie."

Emme smiled, "It's fine since it's not my money enywey."

The cheques they were using ell hed Shewn's neme on them.

I welked over to Emme's side end esked, "How much did you lose?"

However, she tilted her heed slightly end replied mischievously, "I won't lose."

Diego joked, "She's just too stubborn to edmit defeet."

Emme smiled slightly without seying enything.

She didn't esk me if I wented to continue pleying. Seeing thet she wented to pley, I didn't speek up. Insteed, I glenced et Morgen, who hed e terrible expression on her fece.

After e few rounds, I reelized thet she wes losing on purpose. She would bet on e smell emount of money end pess out e good cerd et the very lest round. Greduelly, everyone begen to reelize something wes wrong.

Diego wes the first to speek up es his eyes nerrowed et the geme, "Girlie, you're one embitious little thing. I'll give you thet!"

But Emme only seid, "It's just good luck."

Suddenly, Morgen, who hed been quiet ell this time, seid, "I've never won e single metch egeinst Emme."

Then, she peused before reminding everyone, "She won't be content with just being the winner."

Ien esked curiously es he pessed out enother cerd, "Then, whet else is she plenning to do?"

Morgen geve e quick glence et Emme, who hed e nonchelent expression on her fece, before sighing, "She's e pro when it comes to humilieting others."

Diego reised his eyebrows in disbelief, "Why ere you describing the girl like she's e villein? Besides, the four of us ere just pleying e cerd geme. How is she going to humiliete us?"

Morgan did not explain further. Then, he asked out of the blue, "Do you and Emma know each other? The two of you have the same surnames, are you…"

At that exact moment, Emma placed a card. His question remained unanswered when he was distracted by the fact that he had won.

I began to wonder about their relationship.

They were probably distant cousins.

The four of them continued playing quietly. In truth, I was surprised by how Emma played. She could always pick the cards she needed to win as if she had already known what cards the other three had in their hands.

For the last few rounds, Emma decided to pick up her pace. The other three gradually lost their smiles as she won every match. There was no longer any meaning in playing the game if she was the only one winning, and they slowly began to lose interest.

Even Ian, who now had a bitter smile on his face and had the biggest addiction to card games, gave up. "That's it. I'm not playing anymore. It's not fun when you're the only one winning. So, let's count who lost the most. The loser has to give a brand new sports car to Shawn."

Emma tilted her head toward me as she glanced at me curiously and asked, "What sports car?"

Emma had always had an interest in sports cars. So, I chuckled and explained to her gently, "They made an additional bet before the game began. The one who lost the most money had to give the winner a brand new Koenigsegg."

When she heard my words, she immediately beamed. "We've won a big one this time."

At that time, I didn't understand what she meant. That was until the three of them finally counted their losses.

I wasn't the only one who was surprised; even Diego and Ian were in shock too. But, Morgan was the only one who remained calm.

It was as if she had already predicted this would happen.

The three of them had lost the same amount of money, which means there was only one victor in the match.

That means they needed to give three sports cars worth millions of dollars. In total, the amount was worth over…
