My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 607 It’s Been Nine Years

Although there were nannies taking care of the children, they were new, and the children were unfamiliar with them. Therefore, I coaxed them to sleep before letting the nannies take over.

Caring for children was a labor, and I felt exhausted. I saw Kevin playing games inside the living room when I came downstairs. From the extra wide television screen, it was a familiar game from my childhood.

I went over and sat beside him. "I know this game. Leon and I used to play it a lot, but he never won."

Unconvinced, Kevin challenged me. "Oh? Are you saying you're good at this game?"

"Let me play one round to get the hang of it. Then, we'll have a duel!"

Twenty minutes later…

"This is getting boring. Why am I always the loser?"

"I told you I'm good at this."

"Ray, can't you let me win just once?"

The way Kevin was complaining was adorable. He threw away the console and sprawled on the couch listlessly. Just as I was about to tell him I would go easy on him the next round, I received a message from Eilam. It was then that I remembered what I asked him to do before he left and quickly opened my WhatsApp.

He had sent me a picture of a man in a black coat that reached just below his knees. The hem of the coat swayed with the wind, revealing a small portion of the man's long legs. He was standing on a flat, elevated spot; a lush black forest and a bright starry sky were in the distance. Also, the glossy white moonlight was gently shining down on his well-defined face!

The opaque forest, twinkling stars, moonlight, and the man's cold side profile… Also, I could only see his right eye. His pupils were dark and deep as he stared into the quiet and far distance.

"Shawn is so handsome!" I felt like I was about to get a heart attack from his handsomeness. Oh, for Pete's sake… I know Shawn is handsome, but this picture makes him even hotter.

More importantly, he was not deliberately posing for a picture and was even unaware of it!

"Ray, what's with the yelling?"

Kevin sat up from the couch and took away my phone. When he saw Shawn's picture, he was as surprised as I was. "As I would expect from Sunny! If only I were brave enough to bend him back then!"

Taking back my phone, I announced, "Shawn's mine."

"Hey, I was just joking! Do you think I would dare to have any ideas about him? In all the years I've known Shawn, this is the first time I had that brief thought! Sh*t. How dare I think that? Am I tired of living? That's a suicide mission! I'm going to a church tomorrow to light a candle and say a prayer!"

After he was done muttering to himself, I happily saved that picture and posted it on Instagram.

The caption I attached was 'My Dear Makur.'

Diego was the first to comment. 'Flaunting your love life this late at night?'

Kevin replied, 'You think it's a flaunt cause you're single.'

Diego retorted, 'Aren't you single too?'

'I haven't broken up yet!'

'Hah! Keep telling yourself that.'

I was at a loss for words when I read Kevin and Diego's argument in the comment section. Then, I saw a comment from Aria. 'He's very handsome.'

'Thank you!' I replied.

Later, May copied my caption. 'My Dear Makur. Hehe.'

'What's wrong?' I asked.

'I'm jealous.'
