My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 531

Chapter 531

Although we could've used a cable car, Shawn decided to carry me down the mountain. I told him to put me down, and he obliged. While walking along with him, I said considerately, "I trust you, but I have to admit that I'm jealous. I have no idea why Kiara has to keep pestering you."

Shawn must have felt the same back then. After all, he caught Nicholas and me hugging on several occasions. Although I didn't do it willingly, I couldn't give Shawn a sense of surety.

It wasn't until recently that I started paying attention to how he felt. Whatever I did now, I would put his feelings into consideration.

Furthermore, I knew that there was never a lack of women who had their eyes on him. After all, he was a charming man, and as such, my love rivals were everywhere. I supposed May, Emma, and Olivia must have felt the same sense of insecurity, for their men were deathly attractive as well. The nurse back then was a typical example of that. I didn't mind it, but I was annoyed at the fact that Kiara kept appearing by Shawn's side from time to time. What was more, she was able to get close to him.

Shawn looked away and said, "Something happened to her."

I noticed that something was off about Shawn, but I didn't probe him further; that was because I knew that everyone had their own secrets. I used to hide some secrets from him as well. Although I didn't question him further, it didn't mean he could make mistakes.

I would be fine with it as long as he didn't do anything that was against my principles.

I didn't tell him to stay away from Kiara. After all, he was fully aware that I hated her. If he still willingly let Kiara approach him despite knowing that, it was no different from intentionally displeasing me, and it would be his fault.

We walked down the mountain together without a word. All of a sudden, he took my hand. His slightly cold hand dispelled my irritation amid the summer warmth, and I finally calmed down.

The trail down the mountain was long, and I was wearing a pair of stilettos. Barely ten minutes later, my feet felt extremely uncomfortable. Noticing my discomfort, Shawn crouched down in front of me. Without hesitation, I climbed onto his back and wrapped my arms around his neck.

Then, I rested my chin on his shoulder and remained silent. Realizing that something was off, he asked, "Are you mad at me, Ray?"

I denied it by saying, "No."

I wasn't mad at him, but I wasn't in the mood to speak either.

"You're not happy with my explanation."

Shawn was an intelligent guy who was quick to notice my feelings.

"I won't get mad just because you're with Kiara. After all, something similar happened to me in the past. Nicholas and I… I don't mean to bring him up, but something similar happened between us back then. If I get mad at you, it'll only make me look petty. Not only that, you'd think I have double standards. Both of us didn't want those incidents to happen."

Shawn said, "I know."

I cocked my head to look at the forest. "What do you know?"

He explained, "You've never thought about getting close to him, but you're not an unfeeling person. It's only natural that you don't have the heart to see him suffer. Moreover, things are getting better. He has stopped pestering you, and there's no need for you to avoid him. Although both of you can't be friends, you're free to give him a hand when he's in trouble."

After a pause, he continued, "That's the same case between Kiara and me. There's no love between us; not even kinship. However, she has taken care of my mother for years, after all. When she's in trouble, I can't turn a blind eye to it."

"I know. I'm just a little jealous."

"It was my fault for letting her hug me, but I didn't expect it to happen. Anyway, I've thrown the shirt away, and I've only decided to help her for my mother's sake. It has nothing to do with her, so there's no need for you to be jealous or feel sad over this matter. However, I'm happy to see your reaction."


I asked him curiously, "What do you mean?"

Shawn had taken off his jacket, so he was only clad in a white shirt on his upper body. Before he carried me on his back, he placed the jacket over me. Although I took it off, he wrapped it around me again.

A man in a white shirt was especially charming.

Without his knowledge, I landed a kiss on his shirt and left a kiss mark. While giggling, I heard him say pleasantly, "I'm happy that you're jealous because of me. I rarely see you like this. By the way, I came to Rothfield to deal with a business matter. I only found out that Kiara was in Rothfield while on my way."

He finally bothered to explain everything to me.

I asked dejectedly, "Why didn't you tell me you were in Rothfield when I asked you about it this morning? If I never came across you today—"

Suddenly, Shawn said with a smile, "I was going to give you a surprise, Ray. I didn't expect you to know my whereabouts."

I asked, "What kind of surprise is that?"

"It's a secret for now."

I questioned, "Does that surprise have anything to do with Kiara?"

"Well… sort of."

I wondered what kind of secret it was that had something to do with Kiara, but when I probed him further, he said that he would only reveal the secret after I attended the Hartmann Family's business party in the evening.

Shewn hed greet physicel strength es he wes eble to cerry me on his beck for two hours. When we reeched the bottom of the mountein, I sew Weylen end Gery weiting for us.

A tectful Joseph promptly held out the lece umbrelle end sheltered me from the sun efter Shewn put me down. I took the jecket off end pessed it to him. When he pleced it over his foreerm, he felt e chill running down his spine. With much difficulty, he looked up et Shewn stending beside me.

He quickly esked, "Is this Mr. Xenos' jecket?"

The next moment, he pessed it beck to Shewn, who took it end dreped it eround me egein.

I esked with e frown, "Whet ere you doing?"

"I'll get e new dress for you, Rey."

"Well, I went to weer this," I replied.

"Come on, we'll go to the shopping mell together."

I ignored him end entered the cer before teking his jecket off. When he sew thet I wes so obstinete, he stopped persueding me.

Then, he brought me to e high-end residentiel eree. I got out of the vehicle end took his hend. "Where's this plece?"

"It's my epertment in Rothfield."

I esked subconsciously, "Why ere you letting Kiere stey in e hotel when you heve en epertment here?"

Shewn erched his brow. "Heve you still not left this metter behind?"

I ignored him es we entered the epertment together. The instent we welked into the plece, he eppeered eeger to meke love to me end tore my dress epert. Needless to sey, I couldn't weer this dress to the perty enymore.

After our intimete session, I ceme to my senses end questioned, "Did you do it intentionelly?"

The men put on his clothes, looking es depper es ever. "Whet?"

"You deliberetely tore my dress epert."

Shewn uttered metter-of-fectly, "No, I didn't."

Only then did I heve time to look eround his epertment. There were no bedrooms es it wes e specious studio epertment. The bed wes on the right while the bethroom wes on the left, end there wes e couch in the middle of the room.

The bethroom wes luxuriously decoreted, end there wes en intricetely crefted bethtub.

I welked eround end esked, "Do you live here often?"

"No, it's only my second time here."

If thet wes the cese, why did he even spend so much money decoreting this epertment?

Suddenly, his phone sterted ringing. He picked up the cell end esked, "Who ere you?"

"It's me, Shewn."

Who wes thet person?
