My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 167

Chapter 167

Although I had never seen that side of Shawn before, I liked this part of him.

After our passionate tryst, I lay exhausted in bed while he entered the bathroom to take a shower again. Later, when he had come out, he had changed into a black silk robe, and was instantly back to his usual cold and restrained self.

Shawn was more than six feet tall, and as he stood by the bed towering over me while looking at me, he seemed quite giant-like. I reached out and held his hand while gently shaking it. "Aren’t you going to sleep?"

Shawn pinched my fingers gently and responded, "I’ve got something to deal with."

I let go of his palm as he bent down slightly to plant a kiss on my cheek. "Go to sleep first."

Since I was exhausted, I fell into a deep slumber soon enough. In the middle of the night, I woke up to use the toilet, but I noticed that he hadn’t come back to the bedroom, so I pushed open the door and went to check in on him. I managed to make my way to his study room based on my fuzzy memories.

I pushed open the door to find him seated upright in front of his study desk, and there was a silver-colored laptop in front of him.

I approached him from the back and wrapped my hands around his neck. I felt quite sorry for him as I asked, "It’s so late now. Why are you still up?"

"Yeah, I’ve got something to deal with," he responded.

I affirmed and relinquished my grip on him. Subsequently, I walked toward the couch and lay there while voicing out in a woozy voice, "Okay then, continue with your work and I’ll keep you company right here."

I mentioned that I was going to keep him company, but I ended up falling back to sleep out of exhaustion. When I woke up again, I found that dawn had broken outside, and there was a thin cover on me.

I remained on the couch and lay there for quite some time as I slowly woke up. Just as I was about to get up, I heard Shawn’s cold voice ring out, "I’ll deal with this matter, so you don’t have to worry too much. Don’t go and bother her."

Who’s he on the phone with?

I couldn’t catch what the person on the other end said, but I heard Shawn speak up quite frustratedly, "This has nothing to do with you."

I sat up on the couch and saw that Shawn was massaging between his brows with his fingers, looking exhausted. I went forward and hugged his arm while asking sweetly, "What’s wrong? You look as if someone just crossed your path."

He denied it. "Everything’s fine."

He generally tried to bear everything by himself, and that was his usual trait.

I noticed that he refused to divulge much, so I didn’t pursue the topic any further. In the end, I nuzzled his cheek affectionately and suggested, "Why don’t you go and take a nap?"

Meanwhile, Shawn suddenly reached out and took me into his arms as he spoke in a hoarse voice, "I’ll need to go over to the Hayes’ house later on."

"You don't even have time for a short nap?"

I looked at him with worry in my eyes as I took in his exhausted look. He shook his head slightly and didn’t say a word, but he held me tightly in his arms with his eyes shut.

I didn’t want to disrupt his rest, so I stayed still in his arms. After he had taken a short ten-minute power nap, he got up and walked toward the bedroom.

After he freshened up, he walked out once again, dressed in a crisp suit. I stood by the door barefooted while staring at him with an earnest look.

He lifted his hand by nature and stroked my cheek as he spoke, "I’ll have to head to Napresh after leaving the Hayes’ place, so I’ll get Diego to keep you company here."

He's leaving for Napresh right after spending a few days here? He seems very busy.

I nodded my head meekly as he lifted his hand to place it against my neck. I shivered as soon as I felt his large, cold palms against my skin.

He sensed the change in me, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you find it cold?"

His voice sounded hoarse due to the lack of sleep the entire night.

I shook my head and replied, "No."

He curled his lips into a smile and said, "I’ll make sure to come back as soon as I can."

I affirmed and worriedly mentioned, "Have a safe trip."
