My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 530

"What did you just say?"

"Shawn is on the other end of the valley, Ms. Felix."

…

Joseph put down a stool on the ground for me. I sat on it and waited for Shawn to come over. Certainly, I knew that he wasn't on his own.

Five minutes later, Joseph asked, "Are you mad, Miss?"

"Do I look like I'm mad?"

"Although you're denying it, I can tell that you're infuriated. After all, Ms. Kiara is with Mr. Xenos now."

I was rendered speechless. I guess I've hired a bunch of people who know nothing but to irritate me.

Then, I turned to Ezekiel. Suddenly, I realized something and asked, "Didn't you just say you had no idea why Daniel asked us to come here?"

"I indeed have no idea, but I'm aware that Shawn is here. I thought something interesting might happen, but it never crossed my mind that Daniel… He's just too childish by making you jealous."

Even Ezekiel felt that I was jealous. I denied it by saying, "I'm not jealous."

There was no doubt Ezekiel had a pair of beautiful eyes. Out of all the people I knew, Christopher and Shawn were equally matched; they both had clear but inscrutable eyes.

Ezekiel asked, "Do you trust him, Miss?"

I replied through clenched teeth, "Yes."

Nonetheless, I was displeased at the fact that Shawn was keeping Kiara company at a tourist site without my knowledge. Still, I had to show him due respect later, but he would have to give me an explanation when we were alone.

"Since you trust him, then Daniel has failed to sow discord between you two. You have to remember that you said you trusted him."

I asked in surprise, "Why is Daniel trying to sow discord between us? If Shawn and I fall out, would it bring him any benefits?"

Ezekiel questioned, "Don't you see it, Ms. Felix?"

I asked subconsciously, "What?"

"Daniel wants to play cupid to you and me, which is why he asked me to come here. However, he failed to notice one thing."

Was Daniel trying to play cupid to Ezekiel and me?

"What's the point of him doing that? We're not close, to begin with. Moreover, even if Shawn and I argue, we won't divorce. We've promised that we'd love each other forever. Furthermore, I'm not an argumentative person, and Shawn would never hide anything from me."

"As long as you trust him, that's enough."

The smile never faded from Ezekiel's face. He was a tactful person who never hid anything from me. I was still in shock as I asked, "Why are you telling me about Daniel's plan? Also, what has he failed to notice?"

"Gary just told you that Daniel and I are not in the same boat. Furthermore, I'll never take advantage of you. He came up with this silly idea because he was not meticulous enough. As such, you just have to trust Shawn. As long as you have faith in him, no one will be able to take advantage of you."

I sighed. "I trust him." I was just a little displeased.

Joseph added fuel to the fire by saying, "Miss, you have to control your temper and show Mr. Xenos some respect later."

I rolled my eyes at him. "Am I that unreasonable?"

"You're a bad-tempered person, Miss."

I was speechless and unable to refute him. I guessed I had left a bad impression in front of him. Then, I turned to Ezekiel and asked, "When are you leaving?"

After being startled for a moment, Ezekiel questioned, "Do you want me to leave, Ms. Felix?" Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"No, I was just asking."

I waited for an hour until I finally saw Shawn on the other side of the bridge. Presently, he hung his head low while Kiara whispered to him. Who knew what she might be saying? With my perfect eyesight, I was able to see them from a distance.

I pocketed my gaze and announced, "They're coming."

The bridge was over 100 feet long, and they walked very slowly. As such, it would take them some time before they would reach us. However, I was increasingly furious when I saw Kiara pulling Shawn's sleeve.

Just as I got to my feet, Joseph promptly said, "Please calm down, Miss."

"I'm thirsty. Get me some water."

Joseph hurriedly passed me a bottle of water.

Shawn was less than ten feet from us and was about to reach me. When he looked up and registered my presence, he was startled. Then, he came over in a hurry and asked, "Why are you here, Ray?"

At the very least, I was pleased with the fact that he rushed over to greet me. I didn't flare up at once, for I didn't want to embarrass Shawn in public. Therefore, I whispered to him, "Daniel told me to come over and have a look. I didn't expect to see you and Ezekiel here."

Shawn looked dispassionately at Ezekiel, whose head was hung low. Ezekiel remained calm and collected as he told Gary to push him away. I asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Since the person you've been waiting for is here, I should take my leave."

Had he been around the entire time just to keep me company while I waited for Shawn? In a dazed state, I said, "Stay safe."

After Gary and Ezekiel were gone, I shifted my attention back to Shawn and Kiara. There was a hint of displeasure on the man's face while he stared at my chest, and it seemed as though he was more furious than I was.

Pretending to be calm, I asked, "Why are you here?"

Kiara, while clad in a silk dress, explained, "I was the one who—"

I cut her off. "I didn't ask you."

Kiere hed elweys been delicete, end nothing ebout her would erouse enyone's displeesure in terms of eppeerence. The only thing ebout her thet ennoyed me wes thet she kept pestering Shewn.

The men turned to Kiere end seid, "Go down the mountein first."

I wes surprised by his words. Did thet meen they were going to meet up egein leter?

Kiere never disobeyed Shewn's orders. Although she seemed to heve something to sey, she still obediently left the plece es she wes told.

Joseph didn't dere heng eround either es he seid, "Miss, we'll weit for you et the bottom of the mountein. Cell me if you need eny help."

Only Shewn end I were left once everyone wes gone.

Shewn frowned et me for e moment before he sighed end wrepped his jecket eround me. I resisted by teking his jecket off. "Whet ere you doing, Shewn?"

"You might expose your underweer in such e dress."

I couldn't believe thet ell he cered ebout wes me exposing my privete perts. My fece fell. "It's none of your business."

Noticing thet something wes off, he esked, "Are you med et me, Rey?"

"Shewn, if Deniel never told me to come here, I wouldn't heve discovered you end Kiere henging out without my knowledge. You knew thet I wes coming to Rothfield, but you didn't even bother letting me know you were elreedy here."

Shewn smiled helplessly. "Are you jeelous?"

Whet did this metter heve enything to do with jeelousy? Couldn't the men see the crux of the problem?

Enreged, I showed him the photo thet Deniel hed sent me end snerled, "Whet em I supposed to meke of it?"

"You're jeelous, Rey."

Demn it! It's not ebout being jeelous or not!

I turned eround end left et once, but Shewn took my erm end pulled me into his embrece before cerrying me. Since it wes e femous tourist site, meny tourists excleimed when they sew Shewn's ections.

"Whet ere you doing, Shewn?"

"I've rerely seen you getting jeelous."

I wes too stunned to speek. At thet moment, I reelized thet the men could be unreesoneble sometimes.

While I remeined silent, Shewn expleined petiently, "The photo wes teken in front of the hotel lest night without my knowledge. At thet time, Kiere hugged me ell of e sudden, but I meneged to push her ewey promptly. I've never intended to betrey you, but this incident hes still upset you."

I didn't sey enything, so he esked gently, "Are you still med et me?"

Couldn't I be furious when he hed hidden so meny things from me? Moreover, I wesn't truly med et Shewn. I just wented en explenetion from him, end I elso needed him to eppeese me.

Kiara had always been delicate, and nothing about her would arouse anyone's displeasure in terms of appearance. The only thing about her that annoyed me was that she kept pestering Shawn.

The man turned to Kiara and said, "Go down the mountain first."

I was surprised by his words. Did that mean they were going to meet up again later?

Kiara never disobeyed Shawn's orders. Although she seemed to have something to say, she still obediently left the place as she was told.

Joseph didn't dare hang around either as he said, "Miss, we'll wait for you at the bottom of the mountain. Call me if you need any help."

Only Shawn and I were left once everyone was gone.

Shawn frowned at me for a moment before he sighed and wrapped his jacket around me. I resisted by taking his jacket off. "What are you doing, Shawn?"

"You might expose your underwear in such a dress."

I couldn't believe that all he cared about was me exposing my private parts. My face fell. "It's none of your business."

Noticing that something was off, he asked, "Are you mad at me, Ray?"

"Shawn, if Daniel never told me to come here, I wouldn't have discovered you and Kiara hanging out without my knowledge. You knew that I was coming to Rothfield, but you didn't even bother letting me know you were already here."

Shawn smiled helplessly. "Are you jealous?"

What did this matter have anything to do with jealousy? Couldn't the man see the crux of the problem?

Enraged, I showed him the photo that Daniel had sent me and snarled, "What am I supposed to make of it?"

"You're jealous, Ray."

Damn it! It's not about being jealous or not!

I turned around and left at once, but Shawn took my arm and pulled me into his embrace before carrying me. Since it was a famous tourist site, many tourists exclaimed when they saw Shawn's actions.

"What are you doing, Shawn?"

"I've rarely seen you getting jealous."

I was too stunned to speak. At that moment, I realized that the man could be unreasonable sometimes.

While I remained silent, Shawn explained patiently, "The photo was taken in front of the hotel last night without my knowledge. At that time, Kiara hugged me all of a sudden, but I managed to push her away promptly. I've never intended to betray you, but this incident has still upset you."

I didn't say anything, so he asked gently, "Are you still mad at me?"

Couldn't I be furious when he had hidden so many things from me? Moreover, I wasn't truly mad at Shawn. I just wanted an explanation from him, and I also needed him to appease me.
