My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 680 His Blood

Although Shawn appeared cold and ruthless on the surface, there was warmth in his heart. On the other hand, Ezekiel was someone who didn't hold anyone dear to his heart, and his actions tend to be more brutal and ruthless than Shawn's.

"Yeah, he has a quick temper."

Hearing this, my mother immediately dismissed the idea of introducing Ezekiel to someone.

After I finished making the dessert, I went out to look for Ezekiel but couldn't find him. My mother told me that he went for a walk in the neighborhood, so I packed two desserts in a paper bag and went out to look for him. I searched the nearby alleys for about seven to eight minutes but still couldn't find him. Gradually, I became anxious.

I ran down the alleys to search for Ezekiel. Eventually, I found him in the courtyard of the villa next to my house. He was standing among the oleander bushes. I tapped the iron gate and called, "What are you doing there?"

He turned around and smiled. "I used to live here."

I was surprised. "Right next to my house?"

"It's not exactly next door. It's quite far away."

"But there's no house between my house and this villa."

"Does this count as next door?"

"Yeah. I didn't know that you used to live here though."

If I had known that he used to live next door, I would never have brought him to my house.

I was afraid that it would bring back unpleasant memories for him.

Meanwhile, Ezekiel's face remained pale. I wasn't sure what he had remembered. It was evident that he was feeling uneasy.

"Come out. I brought desserts."

Ezekiel walked to the wall and climbed out from the inside nimbly. He explained, "The couple who lived here had no relatives. I was their only son, so they left their property to me. But I haven't done anything to this place all these years."

"Regarding what happened back then... the police couldn't find any evidence, and in the end, they ruled it as accidental deaths. How did you manage that?"

"I'm smart, so I can do everything quite easily."

What kind of answer was that?

After making a sound of agreement, I hesitated. But eventually, I asked the question. "Should I not have brought you here?"

Although Shown oppeored cold ond ruthless on the surfoce, there wos wormth in his heort. On the other hond, Ezekiel wos someone who didn't hold onyone deor to his heort, ond his octions tend to be more brutol ond ruthless thon Shown's.

"Yeoh, he hos o quick temper."

Heoring this, my mother immediotely dismissed the ideo of introducing Ezekiel to someone.
