My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 236

The weather in Goldshore had always been pleasant. Even though it was already December, the weather was sunny, and the sun shone gently on a man who wore a black military uniform.
The weather in Goldshore had always been pleasant. Even though it was already December, the weather was sunny, and the sun shone gently on a man who wore a black military uniform.

Although I had not seen him for a month, he was still as beautiful as ever.

Bertie… No, no, his name was Robert.

Robert had the sort of face that could captivate anyone.

He held his sunglasses and walked toward us. His boots were shining brightly, making him seem like a divine god that had graced the human realm.

Since most of William's relatives and the guests that arrived were ordinary people, they rarely saw such a beautiful person like Robert and tens of branded cars parked together. Thus, their faces were filled with bewilderment and envy.

When William saw Robert, he frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Robert was still wearing a headset, but it had changed from its usual vibrant pink to deep blue. However, he had decorated it with genuine diamonds. I had never understood why he was always wearing a headset.

He smiled brightly as he stood before us and introduced himself, saying, “I'm the bride's friend. I was initially going to pick her up, but something came up, and I was delayed. It's a shame that these cars are useless now. Therefore, I'll be presenting them to the bride as a token of apology. What do you think, Olivia?”

Does he know Olivia?! However, judging by her dumbfounded expression, it doesn't seem like it. Could it be that he is here to back her up?

Nonetheless, she swiftly took advantage of the situation and said, "You don't have to bring me anything. Why would I want these cars? It's not like I can't buy them myself."

Olivia's remarks were practically oozing with generosity. As a result, the Olsons had mixed emotions when they heard her. So, Robert smiled and inquired curiously, "Why are you all standing by the doorway?"

She instantly donned a pout and complained, "They say that Renee is not suitable to be my bridesmaid because she had a divorce, but I…"

When Robert heard her words, he looked at me and questioned, "What are your thoughts about this?"

"Hm?" I quirked a brow at him.

Then, Robert turned to the Olsons and said, "What about the rest of you?"

The Olsons couldn't understand what he was implying. Nonetheless, a brave soul voiced their confusion, "What do you mean?"

Robert had his hands behind his back and pretended to mock me. "Look at you, Ms. Felix. You are the heir of the Xenos Family and have at least trillions to your name. You are standing on top of the food chain, yet you allow yourself to be bullied by these people? It's just being a bridesmaid, and you don't have to do anything you don't want. By the way, why don't we buy out all the hospitals?"

I was rendered speechless by his course of action. Robert sure knows how to brag. Well, he isn't wrong, though.

When the crowd heard him saying that I was filthy rich and possessed the ability to buy several hospitals without breaking a sweat, they went silent and quietly left the scene.

"Thank you," Olivia said gratefully. Then, she paused and grumbled, "You are way too flashy."

The wedding was supposed to be modest since they feared that the Olsons would be jealous due to the vast difference in wealth between both families. Even Christopher had explicitly chosen not to come while driving a branded car. Unfortunately, Robert ruined it all with his entourage. Still, since William's relatives insisted on stirring the pot earlier, it showed that they couldn't be too modest. Even I couldn't believe that the Olsons were such realists.

"You're welcome." Robert curled his lips into a smirk.

Soon, the wedding ceremony continued without further ado. When I was finished with my task as a bridesmaid, I saw Robert sitting not far away and talking to some people. When I walked closer to him, I heard him boasting, "The bride's family isn't just rich; they are filthy rich! They are so wealthy that they don't even know where to spend their money! Let me tell you. The bride didn't want those branded cars of mine.

Moreover, those bridesmaids you talked about are also outstanding women. Two of their boyfriends are wealthier than the bride. I don't even know where to begin with Emma. She donated trillions of money to charity! Honestly, all the bride has to do is just live her life freely since she doesn't need to work as she doesn't lack money."

I sat by his side and whispered, "You seem to have investigated all of us thoroughly! So, tell me, why did you come to Goldshore all of a sudden?!"

"That's because I miss you." Robert smiled charmingly.

I rolled my eyes at him and ignored his flirtatious remark. Then, he continued to crow about with the others while I rose to my feet and accompanied the newlywed couple as they congratulated the other guests. When I returned to Robert's table, I could still hear him shooting his mouth. Only then did I learn that those people he had sat with were William's colleagues.

I patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he should keep a low profile.

After the wedding ended, I found Robert still mingling with the same people. So, I grabbed him by the arm and dragged him to a secluded place. After that, I said grumpily, "Why are you telling them all those things?"

"Why not? Otherwise, they will keep bullying Olivia. I investigated them before, and some of them used to take advantage of her. I'm just saying those things to warn them off!"

"Olivia won't let anyone bully her without reason."

When Robert heard my words, he shrugged and said, "Suit yourself. Also, there's nothing wrong with being flashy. At least they know that we aren't someone to be easily messed with!"

I couldn't help but feel like he was truly a passionate yet kind-hearted young man.

"Why did you come to Goldshore?" I asked again.

"Didn't I say it's because I miss you?" he replied promptly.

"We are not that close with each other," I retorted coldly.

When he heard my words, he chuckled and said, "I thought we were. After all, I am your savior, right? I even carried you and walked in the snow for hours."

"Shawn said you had planned it all," I exposed him mercilessly.

"Ah, it looks like you already know the truth."

I was frustrated in the face of his indifference. Thus, I turned my head to the side and said, "We are not friends, so hurry up and leave."

However, Robert didn't answer me and reached out to pat my head. I blinked at him, utterly shocked, and swatted his hand away. "Don't touch me."

"It was just a pat on the head. It's not like I was trying to harass you." Robert pouted childishly.

I instantly deflated at his sight. I remembered that Shawn had told me that Robert had leukemia and would die at any time. He was like me—we were cursed with ill health.

"It's harassment if you touch me without my permission."

When he heard my words, he said obediently, "Then, I'll touch you when I have your permission."

Despite the sun shining, December's weather was still rather chilly, especially while wearing the bridesmaid dress. Just as I was about to search for warmth, Emma walked toward me and handed me a jacket. After I took it from her, I smiled and said, "I'm going to Finland after this. Why don't you and Christopher go back to Bryxton together?"
