My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 584

Chapter 584 Doe

"Aimes and I have been at odds with each other for a long time now. He completely ignores me as well as anyone by Shawn's side. Aimes' attitude is like that of a child's. If he doesn't get the results he wants, he throws a tantrum. Nevertheless, this situation still needs a solution."

"Ah, let's talk about it later. We've been arguing and fighting for so many years. Even though we haven't… Ray, I'll be honest with you. Aimes and I have a complicated relationship. How can I explain it? It's ambiguous. Even though we've never said that we're together in these many years, we still trust each other despite the arguing. He's just too temperamental, and I can accommodate him once or twice, but I can't do it forever."

I had known about Kevin and Aimes' relationship for a long time now, but it was all in secret. Kevin didn't know that I knew about their relationship, and this was the first time he was honest with me!

I pretended to be surprised and said, "You guys are…"

Then I added, "Congratulations, Kev."

He sighed.

"Kev, you have to coax him."

"I'll figure it out on my own."

I replied, "Okay, take care of Eilam for me."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of him."

After that, I messaged Anthony, telling him to give all of the power in Bryxton to Rudy. He replied with concern, 'All of it?'

Giving everything to Rudy was like handing over the keys to Bryxton. I decided to trust him this time. "Yeah, give it all to him. He should know the bottom line."

A few minutes later, Rudy messaged me back. 'You're so slow.'

Rudy meant that I was too indecisive. I replied, 'Keep up the good work!'

Rudy didn't reply. In the meantime, Anthony messaged me again, stating, 'I've already given the order. All of the resources in Bryxton are now open to Rudy, but I have a backup plan.'

'Okay. Just take care of it.'

Anthony was more mature than I was. He knew what kind of plan was best for the Xenos Family. I put down my phone and went downstairs for lunch. When I returned to my room, Shawn was already dressed in formal attire. I placed the food in front of him and asked, "Are we leaving here soon?"

"I have two meetings this afternoon. We'll leave on the plane tonight; we'll be able to rest on the plane."

He paused and then suggested, "Although it's a small country, the culture here is exotic and interesting. You can take the bodyguards with you to explore later."

"Bringing bodyguards would attract too much attention," I said.

"I'll have them dress in plain clothes," Shawn suggested.

Shawn had a solution instantly.

"Okay, you should eat first."

Shawn nodded and sat down to eat. After finishing his meal, he only stayed with me for a few minutes before leaving the hotel due to his busy schedule. I thought about his suggestion and soon, I went downstairs again. I wandered around the marketplace and bought many gifts for those back in Bryxton. I also bought some exotic-looking dresses that looked pretty. Subsequently, I changed into one before heading out again at dusk.

The sky looked golden as I entered the marketplace again. I was drawn to a stall run by a vendor because she looked like she was from the same country as me. Beside her stood a four-year-old girl, but the little girl looked mixed-race. I smiled and asked in the local language, "Do you speak English?"

She nodded and replied in English, "Uh, a little."

Her stall sold hairbands. "Is this your child? She's very pretty." I asked.

"Yes, her name is Doe."

"Is it a nickname?"

The woman smiled and nodded, replying in Welian, "My English is not very good, so let's communicate in Welian. The child's full name is Dorothy Saunders, but we call her Doe for short."

Surprised, I asked, "She's a Saunders?"

The woman looked confused and asked, "Why so surprised?"

"I have a friend with the last name Saunders," I said.

"Oh, that last name is quite common. She took her father's surname. Her father has one-eighth French blood; my grandmother is German and my great-grandfather is Irish. Although I don't look like my gene pool very much, Doe's genetics show up in a very obvious manner. I hope she will look more like her father in the future."

Her eyes were full of tenderness and love. I thought to myself that I had plenty of time, so I curiously asked her, "Where is her father? Am I asking too much?"

She shook her head and said, "It's okay. It's rare to meet someone who looks like me here, so our encounter is fateful. Her father is at home, and his health isn't great."

"Oh, can I buy these hairbands?"

"Miss, you don't need so many of them," she said.

"I like these styles and want to buy them all," I said.

She hesitated and nodded. "Okay. Thank you, miss."

I handed her the cash and asked, "How old are you?"
