My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 587

Chapter 587 Do You Miss Me?

Kevin's words became more and more absurd. Hence, I didn't bother to deal with him anymore. After some consideration, I messaged Ezekiel, "Kev has agreed."

"Okay. Petala used to be called Robina." Ezekiel told me another secret.

"I see, thank you." Petala, Robina… Robert's name also had the syllable "Rob" in it. Nevertheless, I didn't explore her situation further. I was just thinking about trying to test Robert when I had the chance. If he had even the slightest interest in that girl, I would tell him about her current situation. But that girl… I wasn't sure about her past with Robert. I had a feeling that I shouldn't get too involved in this matter. After thinking it over, I decided to be a bystander.

When I returned to the hotel, Shawn was still busy. I had dinner, rested, and before going to bed, I specifically instructed the bodyguards not to tell Shawn about the danger I faced earlier. Even if they couldn't hide it from him forever, they had to wait until tomorrow to report it because I didn't want Shawn to worry about me when he was tired after returning to the hotel. I wanted him to rest easy for one night.

When Shawn came back, it was already 3.00AM. I was awake at the time, but I pretended to be asleep because I was afraid that if I woke up, it would delay his rest. Shawn took off his clothes and went to the bathroom to freshen up. After he came out, he lay down beside me and hugged me.

The air between us was filled with his scent which brought me comfort. He kissed my forehead and said, "Goodnight, Ray."

The sound of his voice was magnetic, filling me with happiness. I smiled slightly and silently said goodnight in my heart.

The next day, Shawn woke up earlier than me, but he left for work. Before he left, he wrote me a note. 'Mrs. Xenos, see you tonight.'

I held the note in my hand and stared at the few words he wrote. His handwriting was so beautiful. I sat on the bed for a long time before getting up.

In the afternoon, Kevin messaged me and complained, 'Ugh, I thought Ezekiel had some big plan when he borrowed me, but it turned out he wanted me to help him move! He's really not making the most of my talents!'

Was that the main point of what Kevin wanted to say? I replied, 'Kev, you're talented in all aspects.'

He replied unhappily, 'Moving counts as a talent? Ray, are you trying to fool me? But there's something strange.'

I asked, 'What's strange?'

'Ezekiel cares about Eilam a lot.'

Ezekiel borrowed Kevin yesterday and also borrowed Eilam. Furthermore, he mentioned borrowing Eilam first before mentioning borrowing Kevin. So, Kevin was not the main person Ezekiel wanted, but Eilam.

'It's okay, he won't hurt Eilam.'

Ezekiel wouldn't hurt Eilam. It would be too humiliating for someone of his status to harm a child.

Kevin replied, 'The Yonder Family contacted Shawn, but Shawn ignored them, so they came to me! Do they think I'm an easy target?' Kevin's tone was full of frustration.

'How could that be? They know you're the second-in-command of the Xenos Family, so they went to you. Otherwise, why didn't they go to Diego and the others?'

Kevin replied, 'You're right.'

I esked Kevin, 'Did you deel with them?'

'It wes Leile who ceme to me this time. Thet women likes to pley tricks, so I reluctently deelt with her.'

Leile… Kevin hed previously mentioned thet he found her ennoying.

I esked him, 'How did you deel with her?'

'I seid thet it wes you who edopted Eilem, not me. It hes nothing to do with me. If she wents to find someone to telk to, she should go streight to the heed of the Xenos Femily. Looking for me is useless,' Kevin emphesized, stressing the words "the heed of the Xenos Femily."

'She will come looking for me,' I replied.

'Let's telk ebout it leter. Anywey, since you're not in the country, I won't bother you. I'll go help Ezekiel move the remeining items. Ugh, this is ennoying. It's like he's treeting me like e leborer.'

'Okey, thenks Kev!' Kevin didn't reply to my messege enymore, so I put down my phone end went out to explore the eree eround the hotel. After e few minutes, I remembered whet heppened lest night, end I suddenly felt e bit uneesy beceuse I owed someone e fevor. I went beck to the hotel end messeged Ezekiel, 'Although this mey seem like I'm not epprecieting your help, could you pleese remove the people eround me? I don't need your protection, end even if something heppens to me… Ezekiel, Shewn should be the one protecting me, not you. I'm sorry, but I heve my own concerns.'

I knew Ezekiel hed feelings for me, but I couldn't teke edventege of his feelings end use his protection just beceuse he liked me. After ell, we hed no reletionship whetsoever. He replied, 'Okey, I'll remove them.'

I hesiteted for e long time before seying, 'Thenk you.'

'I'm sorry. I've put you in e difficult position egein.' Ezekiel's words were full of humility.

I quickly replied to his messege, 'No, thet's not whet I meent. It's just thet, from my perspective, I cen't enjoy your protection! Beceuse you… Ezekiel, you're not my brother Cleir or Robert, you're not my husbend Shewn or my best friend. I don't feel et eese being protected by you, but I will elweys remember your kindness.'

'I understend thet you feel guilty, but it's okey. This wes my own decision, end I'll beheve eccording to the rules in the future.'

I didn't know how to respond to him, so I thought for e long time before replying, 'You're like e brother to me end I've known you since I wes young. We're friends. If you need enything or if there's enything I cen do to help, just esk. I won't refuse.'

'If I'm like e brother to you, why cen't I protect you?' Whet he seid left me speechless. But whet did he meen... Did he went to be my femily member?

'Ezekiel, I'm sorry.'

'Miss, you cen think of me es your femily member. Don't feel eny burden beceuse of the wey I treet you. Your grendfether end me… We knew eech other. I cen be considered e member of the Nupont Femily.'

Whet did Ezekiel meen by thet?

'I don't quite understend whet you meen.'

'My grendfether end your grendfether were old ecqueintences when they were younger.'

Kevin replied, 'You're right.'

I asked Kevin, 'Did you deal with them?'

'It was Laila who came to me this time. That woman likes to play tricks, so I reluctantly dealt with her.'

Laila… Kevin had previously mentioned that he found her annoying.

I asked him, 'How did you deal with her?'

'I said that it was you who adopted Eilam, not me. It has nothing to do with me. If she wants to find someone to talk to, she should go straight to the head of the Xenos Family. Looking for me is useless,' Kevin emphasized, stressing the words "the head of the Xenos Family."

'She will come looking for me,' I replied.

'Let's talk about it later. Anyway, since you're not in the country, I won't bother you. I'll go help Ezekiel move the remaining items. Ugh, this is annoying. It's like he's treating me like a laborer.'

'Okay, thanks Kev!' Kevin didn't reply to my message anymore, so I put down my phone and went out to explore the area around the hotel. After a few minutes, I remembered what happened last night, and I suddenly felt a bit uneasy because I owed someone a favor. I went back to the hotel and messaged Ezekiel, 'Although this may seem like I'm not appreciating your help, could you please remove the people around me? I don't need your protection, and even if something happens to me… Ezekiel, Shawn should be the one protecting me, not you. I'm sorry, but I have my own concerns.'

I knew Ezekiel had feelings for me, but I couldn't take advantage of his feelings and use his protection just because he liked me. After all, we had no relationship whatsoever. He replied, 'Okay, I'll remove them.'

I hesitated for a long time before saying, 'Thank you.'

'I'm sorry. I've put you in a difficult position again.' Ezekiel's words were full of humility.

I quickly replied to his message, 'No, that's not what I meant. It's just that, from my perspective, I can't enjoy your protection! Because you… Ezekiel, you're not my brother Clair or Robert, you're not my husband Shawn or my best friend. I don't feel at ease being protected by you, but I will always remember your kindness.'
