My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 142

Christopher wouldn't stare at me with those eyes. This man had eyes that were full of lust and possessiveness. ''Nicholas!'' I exclaimed absently.

The man on the side of the ship smirked, and I looked around uneasily since I wanted to leave with Gary. However, two bodyguards suddenly appeared in front of us and stopped us.

''President Felix, Mr. Forger wishes to invite you to the party,'' one of them stated indifferently.

''What if I refuse?'' I asked him with a frown.

''If you know what's best for you, you shouldn't refuse, President Felix,'' the bodyguard answered coldly.

They seemed to be pressuring me to join the cruise.

However, I knew I shouldn't have anything to do with Nicholas and Christopher Forger in such a public event.

I didn't want any more scandals with them.

I grimaced and looked at Gary, who threatened the bodyguards indifferently, ''People are waiting for us, so please get out of our way.''

However, the bodyguards in front of us remained motionless and dismissed Gary's statements as insignificant. Finally, I had no choice but to turn around and tell Nicholas, ''Let me go.''

The distance between us was so great that I doubted he could have heard what I said, but to my surprise, he waved his hand and instructed the two bodyguards to let me go.

Gary and I then walked away from the shore. When we got inside the car, I could hear the piano music of 'Street Where Wind Resides' coming from the cruise.

''Is that Christopher?'' I questioned Gary in astonishment.

However, if Nicholas were present, Christopher would most likely not show up.

The two brothers never attended an event together, but James stated earlier that he had invited Christopher.

How did this happen?

Gary cast a sidelong glance at me and said, ''It doesn't look like it.''

I had been listening to Christopher playing 'Street Where Wind Resides' repeatedly. His playing style was distinct from that of others.

I recognized the familiar harmony and the person's way of playing the piano. It was precisely the same as his technique.

''It's Christopher,'' I said firmly.

''The brothers have never shown up together since your father's funeral. So, it can't be him.''

''It's absolutely him,'' I responded as I shook my head and refused to accept Gary's response.

I recognized how Christopher played the piano and was sure it was him, but how on earth did he accept James' invitation?

This was a big difference from his usual demeanor.

Gary drove the car away from the shore to leave the beach. When I returned to my apartment, my mind was still foggy, and I felt a little apprehensive in my heart.

After a while, I received a call from Olivia Parker, who cried across the phone, ''Renee, my brothers have fallen into the sea!''

''What exactly do you mean by 'brothers'?'' I asked worriedly.

Could it be that both Nicholas and Christopher…

''They are both missing.''

……

…

When I got to the shore, I observed that there were a lot of rescue crews. Olivia stood there amidst the sea breeze, gazing far into the dark ocean in the distance.

''Where are they?'' I inquired as I ran toward her.

As I approached her, she looked at me with teary eyes as if I was her pillar of strength. But then, she said, ''They've been missing for over an hour after falling into the sea. I'm afraid that…'' NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

I comforted her by hugging her as I concealed my fear while saying, ''It will be alright. How did they end up in the sea?''

''I was in my room at the time, so I had no idea what happened. In addition to my brothers, Emma also fell into the water.''

I was taken aback. ''Why did Emma fall too?''

Then, I promptly looked for James, and I saw him conversing with the rescue squad, expressing his desire to sail out to sea with them. When he spotted me approaching, he muttered quietly, ''I pray nothing bad happens to Emma…''

Despite his low voice, he sounded dauntless. So, I abruptly stopped him and said, ''She will be fine.''

Even though my relationship with Nicholas and Christopher was over, apart from love, they were the most important friends in my life and a vital part of it… They shaped me into the person I am today. They were also why I had ended up with Shawn today; therefore, I was concerned and scared.

''I am going to sea too,'' I told James.

Hesitance was written over his face. ''But you…''

''Mr. Turner, I'm worried about them and Emma.''

It wasn't just me either, as Olivia was also determined to follow. As a result, James arranged for a yacht to take us out to sea.

At the moment when I was about to leave for the sea, I turned around inadvertently and saw Kevin, who was ready to leave the beach.

I was filled with skepticism. What is he doing here?!

''Did you invite Kevin York?'' I asked James, frowning.

''No, why? Is he here too?''

There were many people on the beach right now; they were all disembarking from the cruise. So, with all those people around, I likely wouldn't have noticed him.

However, unexpectedly…

He must've seen me.

But why didn't he greet me?

What in the world was Kevin doing here?

I responded with a shake of my head, ''Nothing. I'm just curious.''

At night, the sea was turbulent. Fortunately, James had vast experience in driving a cruise ship. Both the rescue teams and our party searched for the numerous nearby islands but were unsuccessful.

In my mind, I even believed they had…

When James noticed Olivia and I were upset, he calmed us down by saying, ''It's okay, Emma is strong.''

His words had echoed Mr. Briar's firm words. Nothing horrible will happen because he's Mr. Xenos.

Their tone implied that Shawn and Emma were gods, that they would be safe no matter what problems or obstacles they encountered.

''Emma is still a child,'' I said coldly.

James smiled but said nothing. Then, with a soft and loving gaze, he asked Olivia, ''Ms. Parker, are you cold?''

It was November, and the wind was blowing hard, especially on a cruise ship at sea. Besides, she was simply wearing a white dress, and her pale complexion made her appear frail.

It piqued a man's desire to protect her.

I couldn't believe he was still thinking about flirting at this point.

''You can take off your coat and give it to her.''

I stared at him in speechlessness because as soon as my words fell from my lips, he truly removed his coat and placed it on Olivia. Meanwhile, she was blissfully oblivious and didn't even notice my conversation with James.

We soon discovered a few surrounding little islands, and just as I was about to give up, James said, ''Ms. Felix, the three of them can swim, so I believe they're stranded on one of the adjacent islands. However, there are many islands in this area. Unfortunately, I think we won't be able to find a solution this way, so I need your help.''

''What should I do?'' I asked hastily.

''The Xenos Family's technology is incredible and equipped with a global GPS positioning system. Emma is the golden child of the Turners Family. Thus, we allowed the Xenos Family to install the GPS positioning on Emma's watch at the start of our collaboration. With this, she can turn on the positioning system when there is any danger. I heard you have a special relationship with Shawn. You can contact him to activate Emma's positioning system. Once engaged, we can determine their location in minutes!''

I looked at him with irritation as I cried out, ''Why didn't you inform me sooner? Since this is an agreement between the Turners and Xenos, you can easily call the Xenos Family to resolve it. So, why are you putting it off until now?''

''Our agreement is only for one time, and we took advantage of the opportunity a year ago.''
