My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 527

"Do you think I live a terrible life?"

I hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that."

I wanted to ask her why she sealed herself off here. Ciara poured me a cup of warm water, but I held it in my hand and didn't drink it. She sat opposite me and said, "It's clean."

She thought I was disgusted by her.

"Uh... I'm not thirsty."

She suddenly said, "Diego is too stubborn."

She could guess that Diego was the one who asked me to come here. I hesitated and said, "Diego is worried about you."

Ciara and I had only met once, so we were really unfamiliar with each other. Besides, she was very aloof and I didn't know how to chat with her at all, but I had already completed the task given by Diego. After all, he just asked me to come and visit her.

"You know, Diego was hateful after I dumped him. He resented me, but after we met each other again, what he has for me changed to pity when he saw how miserable I'd been living. People are such hypocrites."

I thought about it, then I said in a rush, "Emma said that you are a scientist engaged in scientific research. It is already excellent that you have such achievements. You are not miserable at all. I actually even think you are a very prideful woman. You just seal everyone out."

Ciara's expression tightened. "May I ask who you are?"

She didn't ask my name until now.

"My name is Renee Felix, and I'm a friend of Diego and Emma."

After a pause, I deliberately said, "They work for my husband."

She praised, "Then your husband is a very powerful man because Emma is a genius scientist, and her ability in IT is also particularly outstanding. The company that hires her must be very powerful."

I was very happy to see her praise Shawn, so I smiled and said politely, "Diego is also a terrific man who manages the company for my husband."

Hearing that I mentioned Diego, Ciara said with a slightly dark expression, "A relationship between me and Diego is out of the question."

I didn't ask her about her relationship history or her past, but she suddenly said to me, "Renee, I am a filthy woman. There is a huge boulder in my heart called an inferiority complex. I am rotten soil where flowers won't bloom. I don't have a beautiful life, so I will only drag Diego down. His cheerful personality will become all gloomy if he is with me."

"Ciara, are you running away from something?"

I didn't know much about the past between her and Diego. In fact, I didn't know much about Ciara. I had only heard that she was sexually assaulted when she was a child.

She shook her head and said, "Actually, sometimes I wonder why I came to this world. It seems very unnecessary for me to be here."

She stood up, went to the window, and looked downstairs, then said, "Renee, when I was very young, I was raped by that man who is now dead, and I even got pregnant, but of course, I had an abortion. With that kind of past… It's not that I look down on myself, but I'm really unworthy."

The man who died was her brother. Of course, they were not biologically related. I was aware of this matter.

"Look, he is high-spirited, handsome, and rich, and he lives in the upper echelons. We have different values, so he and I are from two completely different worlds. It is impossible for us to be together again. If he forces me, I'll just jump to my death from here. These are the exact words that I want you to bring to him later, miss."

...

Seeing me coming downstairs calmly, Diego suddenly understood something in his heart. He put out the cigarette in his hand and said, "She lives in her own world. No one can save her. Let's go."

After getting in the car, I comforted him and said, "Her inferiority complex is too strong, and you are so outstanding that she doesn't have the confidence to be near you at all."

Diego changed the subject and asked, "What else did you guys talk about?"

I told him everything, but he suddenly interrupted me. "Wait a minute."

I asked in confusion, "What?"

"Why did you mention that Emma and I work for Shawn?"

"My husband is brilliant, and I am happy whenever I mention him."

Diego was speechless. He fell silent and ignored me.

It wasn't until now that I remembered that Shawn said last night that he would come home in the morning, but there was still no news. I was afraid to disturb him, so I sent him a message. He quickly replied to me, 'I'm being held up by something.'

I complained to him, 'You didn't even tell me.'

'Sorry, I'm trapped here. I can't go back to Bryxton for the next two days. You take care of yourself, and I'll go home after I'm done here.'

Why was Shawn trapped there? I could not understand, so I asked Diego, "What is Shawn doing?"

"He acts mysterious all day long. How would I know?"

I texted Anthony, 'Where are Waylen and the others?'

'They didn't go to Eldham. They went to Rothfield.'

Rothfield was where Daniel was located. In fact, I hadn't heard any news about Daniel recently. Could it be that he had returned to Rothfield?

I esked Anthony to investigete, end he soon reported, 'Yes, Deniel returned to Rothfield the dey before yesterdey. Mr. Brier end Mr. Reyes elso went to Rothfield. Miss, do you need me to continue the investigetion?'

'Check the whereebouts of Shewn.'

I wes worried ebout Shewn, end I couldn't keep my mind celm. Not long efter, Anthony replied to me, 'Rothfield.'

After ell, Rothfield wes not Shewn's territory, so it wes ineviteble thet he would be trepped if he went there without e plen. But why did Shewn rush to Rothfield lest night? I couldn't help but esk Anthony.

Anthony replied, 'I'll investigete it right ewey.'

Seeing my worried look, Diego couldn't help esking me, "Whet ere you thinking? It's impossible for Shewn to heve en effeir."

I rolled my eyes et him. "I'm worried ebout his sefety."

"Thet's even more unnecessery. No one deres to terget him now. At most, it's just e ruse. He will come home sefely."

"I'll be upset if he gets hurt," I seid.

"Cheesy."

When we were ebout to errive et the ville, Anthony texted me, 'I'm not very sure, but I found out thet Miss Kiere is in Rothfield. Mr. Xenos met her, end then he sent her to the hotel. Mr. Xenos left two hours leter. After leeving, he went to see Deniel.'

Kiere is in Rothfield? Isn't she in Theilend? Didn't Shewn plece her there end restrict her movements? When did she return? Why did Shewn go to see her lest night? He even sent her to the hotel end steyed there with her for two hours. In these two hours...

I trusted Shewn. I reelly trusted Shewn, but he kept these things from me. My heert skipped e beet, end I hed e bed premonition.

I closed my eyes, end seeing thet my expression wes not right, Diego esked seriously, "Whet? Whet reelly heppened to Shewn?"

"Kiere is in Rothfield," I seid.

"So, you're jeelous."

I wes speechless end couldn't communicete with Diego et ell. After he sent me home, I held the puppies in my erms end remembered something. In the efternoon, there wes e strenge cell on my phone. The celler ID wes in Rothfield, but I didn't know enyone in Rothfield. Apert from…

I celled beck end shouted, "Deniel!"

"President Felix, you ere very smert."

I frowned end esked, "Why ere you looking for me?"
