My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 478

I couldn't say that I did it deliberately, and I wasn't planning on explaining things now as I was planning to wait until tonight before appearing inside the group chat again. Who knew Aimes would teach Kevin a lesson so soon? It hadn't been two minutes since I sent that message, and Kevin was already beaten up. Since I had reached my goal, I thought I should give everyone an explanation.

Therefore, I gave a half-hearted reply. 'I was uploading photos. Sorry, Kevin. Remember to tag me when something like this happens again!'

Then, Kevin replied with an aggrieved emoji before disappearing again.

I think he might have gone looking for Aimes.

Later, I told Shawn about Kevin getting punched by Aimes, who then handed me a plate of boiled shrimp. "Aimes has always been hot-tempered."

I took the plate of shrimp outside and placed it on the glass table beside the pool. Under the parasol, I enjoyed the stunning view.

Then, I went inside again and came out with a plate of beef steak. I continued to head in and out a few times to serve the four dishes.

Then, I called Rudy over to eat.

Rudy rose to his feet and came over but then complained after looking at the food on the table, "Beef

steak has a lot of grease. Shawn and I are recuperating, so we can't eat that. Shrimp is a type of food that might stimulate and affect wound healing, and we can't eat crabs either. That leaves vegetable soup?!"

Turning to the elegant-looking Shawn who was dressed in a white shirt, Rudy asked in surprise, "What are we eating?"

Shawn came over and sat beside me while pointing at the vegetable soup.

With his mouth wide in shock, Rudy asked, "Noodles with soup?"

Noticing that Shawn had ignored him, I smiled awkwardly and tried to make things better by saying, "I think it looks good. Since both of you are injured, eating light foods can help in healing your wounds. Also, think about the color of the vegetables…" I couldn't go on anymore.

With a displeased expression, Rudy sat down and served himself a bowl of soup. The two men then began eating their noodles with soup.

After lunch, I was about to head over and wash the dishes when Shawn stopped me before turning to Rudy. "I cooked, so you wash the dishes, or you cook, and I wash the dishes."

"Do you think I can't afford to buy food?"

Rudy returned to the lounge seat to continue sunbathing without minding the pile of unwashed dishes. I got up and offered, "How about I do the dishes? It's not that laborious."

Shaking his head, Shawn refused, "Leave them."

"But…"

Shawn disdainfully said, "We don't live here, and it's quite far from the city center, so he will clean up when he gets hungry tonight."

I was at a loss for words because I discovered that Shawn knew Rudy like the back of his hand.

He seemed to know everyone like the back of his hand.

After dinner, I went sunbathing again, but this time, Shawn was by my side. When I felt hot from being under the sun, I changed into my bathing suit and jumped right into the pool. I didn't know how to swim, and the only way I could move in water was by doggy paddling, but swimming in the pool in the summer was enjoyable.

I yelled, "Shawn, come over here."

Meanwhile, Rudy closed his eyes as he enjoyed the sun shining down on him and ignored us. When Shawn heard me calling for him, he came over and squatted beside me. I grabbed his cold hand, saying, "I want to learn how to swim, but you can't get your wounds wet."

Suddenly, Rudy spoke up. "I'm injured too."

I immediately retorted, "I don't need you to teach me."

Shawn rubbed my head and coaxed, "Try swimming yourself first. I'll teach you once my wounds are

healed."

Then, Rudy rose to his feet and complained, "Ugh, I can't stand you guys being so affectionate with each other anymore. Goodbye. I'm heading to my room for some shut-eye!"

Now that we had successfully deterred Rudy, I hugged Shawn's neck and tried to kiss his cheek but failed because I was too short.

He seemed to have noticed my intentions, and he kneeled beside the pool.

They said, "A man should have dignity and not grovel or bow down," yet he had repeatedly broken his principles for me. I happily jumped up and kissed his cheek, but then Rudy suddenly came back here. "Are you guys done?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Without a care, I rebuked, "Didn't you say you were going to sleep?"

"I forgot my phone."

Rudy went to pick up his phone and complained, "If I had known you guys wouldn't stop with the PDA, I would have never asked Shawn to come over!"

With a snort, Rudy went inside the villa.

I burst out laughing. "He's all worked up."

Shawn replied, "Yes. He must be jealous of us."

I giggled. "Are we overdoing the PDA?"

He didn't seem to care about it and answered, "It's normal."

"So, my dear Makur, should we continue?"

Shawn looked at the swimming pool and observed the area around us before pulling me out of the pool and carrying me to an area behind the parasol. This area was secluded, so we weren't afraid that Rudy might be sneaking a peek at us.

Moreover, I was sure Rudy didn't have such a habit.

…

Shawn and I stayed at the villa until 4.00PM before leaving for home. When we arrived, Leon and Tamara weren't home, nor were the nanny and children, who might be out having a stroll. I hugged Shawn's arm while we ascended the stairs, but just as we arrived upstairs, Shawn received a call from Sir.

Picking up the call, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Rudy is in Bryxton."

Shawn answered flatly, "Nope."

He was lying, and he said the word "nope."

I wondered, Was he lying when he previously said "nope" to me?

Seeing that Shawn had denied his speculation, Sir asked, "Fancy coming out for a drink?"

The invitation to drink meant Sir had something to discuss with Shawn.

Shawn replied, "Where?"

"Kitties' teahouse."

Shawn and I hadn't arrived home for long, but now we had to leave again. I had grown tired of sitting inside the car all day but seeing that it was just a short distance and coupling with the fact that Shawn was with me, the ride to Kitties' teahouse wasn't that unbearable as I snuggled into his embrace right after we got inside the car.

While rubbing my head, he asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Shaking my head, I replied, "Not at all."

After we arrived at Kitties' teahouse, I saw Sir in a white cotton short-sleeved shirt, sitting under the parasol and resting with his eyes closed.

Shawn went over and sat opposite Sir while I went inside the teahouse, where I was welcomed by a bunch of enthusiastic cats surrounding me!

I looked at May and asked, "Why did Sir Larson want to see Shawn?"

"I'm not too sure. This morning, he told me he was heading to Iceland, but then he canceled his trip this afternoon, saying that an old friend had arrived in Bryxton."

The old friend he's talking about must be Rudy, but he had specially called to ask Shawn about Rudy. Was he testing Shawn? I wondered in my head.

However, I didn't tell May about Rudy being in Bryxton. Instead, I looked around the teahouse and noticed the young man with a mask was still there.

He was reading a book by the window and was very quiet.

Then, I looked for Amy but didn't see her inside the store.

Confused, I asked May, "Where's Amy?"

While pointing toward the window, May told me, "There. Opposite Troy."

Since the spot opposite Troy was a blind spot, it was no wonder I didn't spot her.

"She's such a die-hard fan."

"Yeah, she just started fangirling over a superstar out of nowhere. She's quite lucky. He just happens to come here for a drink. I almost didn't recognize him just now, but she kept looking at him, so I found out it was him after catching her ogling at him a few times. In the end, I thought why not just give her half a day off so that she can sit in front of him to ogle him better since she is going to leave Bryxton the day after tomorrow anyway."

I quietly sneaked over and found Amy had fallen asleep with her head tilted slightly to the side. The book under her head was wet from her drool, creating quite a nasty scene. Seeing that, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Troy because he had to see such a scene. After thinking about it, I didn't wake Amy up because I thought she had already embarrassed herself anyway, and it was too late to do anything about it.

I returned to the counter and told May what I saw, to which she laughed. "Renee, you're so mean. Let's head outside to check on them.

By "them," May meant Sir and Shawn.

"Sure. Let me grab Shawn a glass of warm water."

May handed me a glass, which I received and filled up with warm water.

Then, May suddenly asked me, "What do you think they're talking about?"

"How would I know?"

With a depressed expression, May said, "I think Alfred is hiding something from me."
