My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 216

Chapter 216

After walking out of the mansion, there was an entire bed of lisianthus flowers in front of my eyes. A slight breeze wafted past, which brought on a flurry of motion, as a pleasant scent hit my nostrils. It was indeed relaxing.

Diego opened the car door and indicated for me to enter the car. Meanwhile, I ran over to the roadside and plucked a pink color lisianthus flower before putting it on my hair. At that, he could not help commenting, "The smug look on your face is exactly like Morgan's."

"I'm not Morgan! Why did you suddenly bring her up?"

He lifted his brows and asked me, "Morgan's not from a distinguished family. Do you want to know why she managed to join our circle?"

I nodded and asked meekly, "Why?"

"She saved Shawn's life before, so he silently acknowledged that she could join our group. Besides, she's great at winning people over, and shortly after joining us, she managed to win over Tracy. So, over time, everyone became closer to her."

I nodded and affirmed, "Shawn doesn't care about her, though."

"I didn't say that Shawn cared for her. I'm merely reminding you so that you can keep your guard up against her." After a short pause, Diego explained out of kindness, "We can all tell that Morgan is in love with Shawn. Right now, she's not doing anything, but once your marriage with him is confirmed, then she won't be able to stand it. By then, you might suffer in her hands, so I'm just warning you."

Surprised, I asked, "Who said anything about marrying him?"

He asked with slight dissatisfaction at my indifferent behavior, "Is this even the main point here?"

"Oh. Morgan won't be able to do anything to me."

Now, I had bodyguards protecting me whenever I went out, so there was no way Morgan would be able to lay hands on me. Disregarding the fact that I had the Xenos Family backing me, I also had Shawn by my side protecting me.

Diego replied huffily, "If you let your guard down, then you might face trouble. Get it? It would be fine if she took action against you outrightly, but it'd be tough on you if she did things behind your back like a sneaky, little devil."

I was rendered speechless by that before he asked, "What did you ask me earlier on?"

"I asked, why are you guys so afraid of Shawn?"

Diego did not respond but questioned instead, "Isn't it normal to be afraid of him?"

At that point, I was unable to rebuke his statement. After he hastened me to get into the car, I buckled my seat belt before turning to him. "I would like to find out more about Shawn. Tell me more about him if you've got the spare time." There was an apprehensive tone in my voice as I was afraid that he would reject my request.

"That's fine with me. We can do that after I meet up with Emma."

I had nothing to say to that. During our several hours of journey to Bryxton, he refused to reveal anything. Once he saw Emma, it would be even harder for him to care about my tiny request.

Besides, I felt that I would be doing a disfavor to Christopher if I helped Diego. Previously, he even specifically told me not to assist Diego. Torn, I finally took out my phone to send him a text message. 'Diego's on his way to Bryxton for Emma.'

This was the best I could do and everything else would be up to them as I did not want to get involved in their conflict.

As expected, as soon as we arrived at Bryxton, Diego took my phone and sent a text to Emma before leaving without me.

I stood by the roadside for a while until a black-colored Mercedes Benz stopped in front of me. I got into the car and instructed Joseph, "Let's head back to Felix's Villa."

On the way back, I called my mom and told her that I would be arriving home shortly. She spoke in an anxious tone, "Are you coming back soon? Why are you suddenly back in Bryxton? Your dad and I—"

"Aren't you guys at home?" I asked.

"Right! Your dad and I went out, and we're with Leon. We'll let you know when we get home."

There was no point in me heading back home since there was no one, so I placed another phone call to May, who was currently recuperating from her injuries at home.

I bought a strawberry cake from a bakery before heading over to see her. When I arrived, I saw that there was some piping hot food on the table, so I asked her with a knowing smile despite not seeing Rudy around. "Did Rudy prepare all this?"

"Yeah, he prepared this for us."

May took the cake from me and placed it on the dining table to unbox it. I asked quizzically, "Don't tell me that he left because I was coming over?"

In response, she smiled and said, "Yeah. He reckoned it might be awkward if he stays around."

"Did I disrupt your personal time together, then?"

As soon as I realized this, I felt bad. May cut a slice of cake for me and smiled. "You would never be a disruption at all! If I went over to your place, Shawn would leave the house and give us some personal time too. After all, he wouldn't be interested in our conversation."

I took the cake from her and laughed. "That's true."

"Why did you suddenly come to Bryxton?" she asked.

"Shawn will be here soon. I'm waiting for him to contact me, then we'll go somewhere. This was the only thing he told me and I'm not too sure where we're headed." I wonder whether this is a date. I've never actually been on a proper date with Shawn.

"Oh, regarding Alba… Ree, I haven't sought revenge for him because the Adams are Rudy's close ones after all."

There was a flash of understanding in my eyes as I asked, "Have you relented?"

"Yeah, I don't know what to do."
