My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 470

Chapter 470

I had only recently found out Ezekiel was an impressive psychiatrist.

Shawn ruffled my head and continued, "Ezekiel specializes in psychology, and when it's applied to a certain degree, he can control a person's mind with ease. Plus, he knows hypnosis. How should I put it to you? You're bare naked in front of him—figuratively, of course. He can manipulate your thoughts and even exploit your kindness."

If Ezekiel had been using his expertise to manipulate me during my interactions with him lately, I had nothing to say.

But did he do it? It didn't matter anymore, for we owed each other nothing now.

"I never trusted Ezekiel," I answered Shawn seriously. "Of course, I don't doubt him either; he hasn't given me any reason to trust or doubt him, after all. To me, he's just someone who saved my life once. Maybe you believe he sent those people, and let's say that he did, so be it. Just take it that I was stupid. Either way, the debt has been paid. I have nothing to do with him anymore. I know you're upset about him, but trust me, Sunny—I will never upset you with other men again."

Shawn finally smiled after hearing my promise. "I trust you."

"Then, what else have you learned other than psychology?"

I was very interested in a treasure like Shawn, for I still didn't know much about him.

He kneaded my cheek gently before going back to stroking my hair while I fiddled with his other hand, listening to his patient explanation. "There's a lot. Psychology's just one of them. People like us need to learn many things to defend ourselves."

"For example?" I pressed on.

"The most fundamental is combat. Learning anything will only be useless if I can fight. After getting the basic survival skill down, it's finance and foreign languages. Because I first lived in Finland, I also had to learn Finnish and Swedish. Adding to that are economics, management science, computing, and more. I've learned too many things to cover it all in detail."

As the past came to him, he added. "I learned most things in practical life, like the human heart and strategizing."

Shawn and Rudy created their own world step by step, and what they had to go through was beyond my imagination.

What about myself, then? Contrastingly, I was the lucky one.

I was raised as a precious child in the Felix Family with a carefree childhood. Then, after my parents 'passed', I had Gary to support me. I never had to worry about anything too difficult. Of course, I didn't stay idle. I took up finance and management, but compared to Shawn, it was nothing.

Even when the Felix Family was gone, the Xenos Family came to me. As such, I never seemed to lack power.

Marriage was the only rough patch in my life, but I'd thank the heavens for letting me meet Shawn.

That said, I seemed to only ever demand and never thought of reflecting on my issues. I didn't think that Shawn would be hurt and upset as well.

After this incident, I would have to consider his feelings.

Of course, I would consider his feelings in the past, but it was only now that I had a more profound insight into his thoughts.

"My Sunny is the most incredible person in the world!"

Shawn smiled at my sudden praise and said, "You sure know how to coax your way out. You'd shower me with sweet nothings every time you make a blunder."

"I've failed you." I smiled apologetically.

"And I accept your apology."

He kissed the corner of my lips, and the next thing I knew, we were tossing around on the couch. In the blink of an eye, the sun had set.

After expressing our love for each other hands-on, I draped a shirt over myself and lay on the couch while looking at my finely dressed beloved, asking him, "Are we heading back to Bryxton later?"

"Yeah. The twins miss you."

"I miss my little munchkins too."

Also, I needed to visit Alfred. After all, I had laid all his efforts to waste.

"One more thing…"

"What is it?" I asked.

"Nicholas' fiancée saved him the other day."

"You know about that too?" I had to hand it to him.

"Yeah, I bumped into them when I went down the mountain, and seeing that there was no grudge between us, I let them go. Then, Nicholas' fiancée suddenly said to me, 'Renee's a woman who loves you very much'."

At that, he silenced for a moment before asking, "Why would she say that?"

I refused Aria's request to save Nicholas that day. No doubt she had gotten an answer.

As such, I told Shawn honestly, "I refused her request to save Nicholas that day. She probably thinks I was worried you'd get the wrong idea, so she's convinced I love you very much and in turn, helped me confess my love for you."

"So why did you refuse to help Nicholas?"

"She told you. I was worried you'd get the wrong idea." With that, I fluently complimented, "I mean, Shawn Xenos is a big, jealous mess. I can't have him get the wrong idea, or I'd be the one suffering."

Shawn was rendered speechless.

…

That day, that rain at Goldshore…

Aria had always believed she could calmly consider all concerns, but never had she thought she would rush to Goldshore impetuously for a devoted, divorced man.

Although it was raining on the mountain, Aria still braved the rain and climbed up. She knew nothing would come of her going up there, but the woman's thought was simple—she just wanted to stay by his side.

At last, she found the gravely injured Nicholas. However, she didn't get close to him and instead watched his situation from a distance away, ready to help him if he needed any.
