My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 492

What did it matter to me that Ezekiel was drunk? Anyway, Daniel was here!

"It's fine. Someone else is taking care of him," I said.

Then, I returned home with Joseph. As soon as I pulled the car to a stop, I hurriedly rushed up the stairs. However, when I pushed the door open, Shawn was nowhere to be found.

I went downstairs and asked Leon, "Where is Shawn?"

"He came down to grab a glass of milk from the fridge, but he got a call before he could take a sip. I don't know where he went after that."

Therefore, I took out my phone to call Shawn, but his line was engaged. My mind began to wander, and I began to worry, but he had never ignored my calls before. Did something bad happen to him? Then, I ended the call and hurried over to see Joseph.

"Help me find Shawn," I ordered.

"Mr. Xenos' car is heading out of Bryxton," he quickly responded with the results of his investigation. "He must be attending to some urgent business."

What happened to Shawn? Fear was my overriding feeling, even as uncertainty grew within me. I kept calling him, but he never answered. However, when I saw that, I stopped bothering him.

…

Shawn received a call from an unknown number. It was a call from a "dead person."

"Do you remember me, Shawn?" she asked.

He was familiar with that voice. Still, he scowled and asked coldly, "You are?"

Even though Shawn could recall her voice, it did not mean that he would acknowledge that he knew who she was. That was because she, like Ezekiel, was supposed to be dead. Nonetheless, both of them were now alive and in Bryxton.

"It's LG. Have you forgotten me?"

When she identified herself, he remained silent.

"I'll be waiting for you outside Bryxton, Shawn."

Eventually, she ended the call and hung up. Shawn furrowed his brow as he felt the frustration rising within him. How irritating, and how he wished LG was still dead. Then, he sighed deeply and set down his glass of milk before leaving the house.

After driving for approximately one hour, he finally arrived at the city's outskirts. Soon, he spotted a pale woman in a white dress standing by the road from a distance. She continued to be enamored with white garments, and it appeared that white was the only color he had ever seen her wear in the past.

Shawn pulled over and stayed inside, but she went to the passenger side and opened the door. "Hello, Shawn."

"How did you survive?" He frowned.

"Aimes saved me," LG answered.

"Aimes... He certainly is quite true to you."

"He's now with Kevin," she said, smiling.

"You are not welcomed in Bryxton, LG."

"Still, you came to fetch me," she confidently rebuked. Then, she got into the car.

Shawn shot her a side-eye look. "Get out."

She was stunned. "Shawn—"

"I said, get out."

LG did not exit the vehicle as if she were placing a wager. Eventually, Shawn left the car and began to walk toward the city. She stayed in the car for a while, and then suddenly, he returned to the vehicle and icily barked, "I'll only put up with you this once, LG!"

Then, she smiled silently.

They went back to the city without exchanging a word with one another. A flashback brought memories of her time in WT training alongside him and accompanying him on missions. Those times felt as if they had happened many years ago. Those were good times, and she missed them terribly. Nevertheless, the past evaporated like smoke.

Meanwhile, LG gazed out the window at the passing landscape. Finally, back in the city, Shawn pulled over. They had arrived at her destination.

She obediently got out of the car and leaned down to look at the man who was not looking at her. "This is only the beginning, Shawn."

He narrowed his eyes at her as she continued to say, "Congratulations on your marriage. You know that I have only ever wanted you to be happy."

Ah! She made it sound like he didn't know her. Moreover, she was a vicious woman who committed murders without remorse. Nonetheless, his wife was in graver danger now than before.

It felt as if a net was slowly wrapping around them. Silently, the city had been split into three factions. Their respective leaders were Ezekiel, Shawn, and Sir. The three of them were all enemies. Indeed, Sir was no longer a friend. As Shawn was still privately friends with Rudy, Sir would not trust him again. However, Sir did not trust Ezekiel either. Sir was the weakest among the three of them. It was mainly because Bryxton meant little to him. However, that was precisely why he stayed neutral and watched the show. Furthermore, Shawn now understood that the storm was finally here.

He closed his eyes and calmly said, "I drove you here to pay back what I owe you, LG. That is all."

"You wish to cut off ties with me?"

"Has there ever been anything between us?"

That remark rendered her speechless.

What relationship did they have before? They used to have complete trust in each other. In fact, they entrusted their lives to each other without question. They had been through so many trials and tribulations. How could he ask her that? Was he truly that cold?

Then, her fingers clenched around her white dress as LG stayed silent. Shawn soon drove off toward his home.

Afterward, he parked the car along the road. As he stepped from the car, he addressed Joseph, stationed at the gate, saying, "Get rid of it. It's yours if you want it."

The only woman allowed in his car was his woman.

When Joseph heard that, he immediately began calculating how much money the car would be worth when sold. Realizing it was worth at least several hundred thousand, he was suddenly filled with energy. "Yes, sir," he respectfully said. "Thank you so much, Mr. Xenos."

Then, Shawn strode into the villa. When he reached the rose bush by the wall, he stopped to pick a bloom before ascending the stairs.

As soon as he pushed the door open, he found Renee lying in bed. "You're back early," he commented, somewhat confused.

He sat down at her side and gently slipped the rose into her hair. On that particular day, she braided her hair, and combined with the rose, she appeared to be endearing.

He could not help but dip his head down to kiss the top of her head. She then squirmed into his arms like a fluffy animal. "Where did you go?" she asked. "I was so worried that I even asked Joseph to look for you."

However, Shawn did not question her decision to look into his location.

"I went out of the city," he warmly responded.

Given that Renee had been trying to locate him, she would have a good idea of his movements. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Still, he patiently answered her question. That was how much he loved. He would dote on her unconditionally.

"Shawn, do not ever ignore my calls in the future."

He had silenced his phone and had yet to look at his phone.

"Okay," he reassured Renee as he gently stroked her head. "I will be more mindful in the future. Why are you back so early today?"

"I bumped into Daniel Hartmann," she answered.

He frowned. "Bryxton is quite popular."

It seemed as though every person imaginable had converged in Bryxton, but Shawn had always been fearless in the face of danger. Nevertheless, his lover and child resided there, so he had to exercise caution. While he was aware that the issue required attention, he was at a loss as to how to do it.

Sending Ezekiel away was one solution. However, Shawn would never willingly leave the city. There was also LG. She was definitely here because of Ezekiel. After all, she had betrayed him once, but he had forgiven her for that.

"I am a little annoyed by Daniel. He thinks he's all that."

Daniel was the first man Renee ever hated this badly.

"Daniel is a man who likes to plan for the long term," he said.

"Ignore him," Shawn continued. "What else can he do?"
