My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 145

I raised my head and saw who it was in my messy state. "It's you."

"What do you think Shawn would do?" he asked me the same question.

I tried hard to suppress the uneasy feeling in my heart as I explained, "I will explain it to Shawn. So, you don't have to worry about this matter, Kev."

"I would rather not worry about your matters, but what are you doing by entangling with Nicholas Forger? Do you think Shawn doesn't know about this?"

Kevin had called Shawn by his name, which was different from how he usually behaved in fear of Shawn…

I stayed silent while still crouching, and Kevin kneeled before me to pat my shoulder. "Sunny isn't a very forgiving person."

"I will explain everything to him," I said stubbornly.

My heart felt uncomfortable like a large stone was pressing it down. Meanwhile, Kevin patiently reminded me, "Don't go out alone. Always be on alert and avoid him. Otherwise, I don't even know what I would do."

Remembering my confrontation with Kevin by the beach and the unfamiliar address, I asked him, "What have you done?"

His lips curled into a smile as he asked me, "What do you think I did?"

"You were the one who planned their appearance? First, you let Merlin invite me onto the cruise ship, right? Then, you planned to punish the Forger brothers in front of me as a warning to stay away from them. Otherwise, you would use other ways to deal with them, right? This was your goal! But you didn't expect I would leave earlier, so you ordered your men to push them into the sea! So then, why did Emma jump into the sea too?"

When Kevin saw that I was close to the truth, he dotingly rubbed my head and confirmed with a smile, "You're right. I was trying to give you a warning, and I wasn't planning to hide it from you. I planned to embarrass them before you and then enlighten you, but I wasn't expecting you to leave in the middle of things. So, I ordered someone to throw them into the sea. Of course, you would come running back once you've received word that they have fallen into the sea."

"So, Emma was also thrown into the sea by you? You knew she had the Xenos Family's GPS tracking device on her. So, you deliberately let her follow the Forger brothers so that when we couldn't find them, we would have to contact the Xenos Family?"

He had a calculative and sinister smile as he concurred, "Yes."

Feeling a chill in my heart, I asked, "You were testing to see who I would choose between Shawn and Nicholas, right? That's why you told me you don't have the authority to turn on the Xenos Family's GPS global tracking system. You purposely criticized me so that I would embarrass myself and become a headless chicken in front of Shawn. Why would you treat me like that?!"

"Don't you know why?" he retorted.

After that, he gently patted my head and calmly said, "Ray, you must remember that I'm Sunny's younger brother first. Then, I'm your elder brother. Do you understand?"

I let out a breath and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

"Nicholas keeps bothering you, and I've already wanted to deal with him for a long time, but Sunny has ordered me to act rashly!" Kevin defended Shawn by adding, "Who is Nicholas Forger? How shameless of him to courageously tarnish Sunny's woman–"

With a cold face, I interrupted him, "There's nothing between Nicholas and me. What we had is now in the past, and I know where my future lies. So, I don't need you to interfere with my matters!"

"Why did he touch your chest if there's nothing between you two?"

Kevin looked extremely angry. I didn't know how to explain it to him. After all, he had seen everything with his own eyes.

But about that matter… It was because I couldn't dodge Nicholas' attack from behind.

"Remember, it doesn't matter what strong feeling you had with Nicholas, but you are now Sunny's woman. If you continue to entangle yourself with Nicholas, I will use my own means to deal with him."

The look on Kevin's face was vicious, and I had rarely seen him being like this. Finally, I understood that he would always be and had always been on Shawn's side. He was only protecting me because Shawn liked me.

Once Shawn no longer liked me, I was nothing to Kevin. So, after that, I lowered my head and closed my eyes to say, "I will settle that myself."

"Settle it yourself? Don't you know how badly Nicholas bullies you, yet you still want to settle it yourself? What am I supposed to say to you…"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from a distance. "Kevin."

When I heard that voice, I reflexively trembled. Then, I raised my head and looked over to see a man wearing a black leather business suit. Inside the suit was a black short-sleeved shirt that I rarely saw him wearing. Yet, his distinct, sharp, and perfect features were still as handsome as ever.

However, worry filled my heart, and I was afraid that he had heard what Kevin had just asked, "Why did he touch your chest if there's nothing between you?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

For a moment, Kevin was also stunned. He quickly blinked his eyes and called Shawn. Then, he tried to slip away. "I still have something to do–"

Shawn yelled his name once again, to which Kevin answered with a bitter expression, "I'm here."

"Ask Mr. Briar for your punishment."

I didn't know why Shawn wanted to punish Kevin, but I knew he was just standing up for Shawn, so I quickly stopped them. "Sunny, Kev did that because of me…"

Deep down, I blamed Kevin for what happened, so I couldn't bring myself to finish the sentence.

However, I still thought there was no need to punish him.

Still, I knew he punished Kevin because he had heard our conversation… Instantly, I felt devastated.

Not knowing how to face him, I felt embarrassed because I felt sorry for him.

When Kevin saw that Shawn wasn't saying anything, he was afraid to stay any longer. So, he quickly waved his hand and exclaimed, "Then, I'll look for Mr. Briar. I'm going now!"

Once Kevin left the garage in a hurry, Shawn bent down to help me to my feet. However, my legs were numb from crouching for so long, and I could not balance myself. Hence, I rested my weight on Shawn's arm to regain my balance.

With an anxious heart, I asked, "Why are you back today?"

"Kevin called me to say that you haven't slept all night because you were looking for someone at sea. I was worried about you, so I came back earlier."

I suddenly felt Shawn carrying me, so I wrapped my arms around his neck and hid my face in his chest. Then, he steadily carried me toward the elevator.

The space inside the elevator was compact. My heart was racing as I wanted to apologize, but I couldn't muster up the courage to do it.

Although what happened earlier was against my wishes, I still had wronged him. Moreover, I had previously asked him to switch on the GPS global tracking application.

If I were in his shoes and he had asked me to use my resources to help him save his ex-lover, I would have been devastated.

I understood the meaning of the phrase 'don't give others what you don't want,' but it was a matter of life or death, and I had no other choice…

Ultimately, I was in the wrong and only had my soft-hearted personality to blame. No one knew how much I hated Kevin at this moment, as I held him responsible for letting me make that decision.

As I held Shawn's sleeve, I was afraid to speak. Perhaps he had discovered my emotions, so he asked me calmly, "Ray, do you have something to say to me?"

"I'm sorry, Sunny."

Shawn hugged me even tighter without asking why I was apologizing and responded casually, "There's no need for an apology. I don't mind."

What did he not mind?! Did he not care that Nicholas had touched my chest? Or did he not mind that I asked him to help me save Christopher and the others?

I looked at Shawn in shock and couldn't help but feel disappointment rising in my heart. Women were strange beings. On the one hand, I was clearly afraid he would mind my actions, but on the other hand, I was also worried that he wouldn't care about it. Deep inside, I was hoping he would be jealous, after which I would apologize accordingly and coax him. Yet, Shawn had such a calm reaction.

Not wanting to accept reality, I asked, "You don't mind?"

After glancing at me, he calmly retorted, "What do you want me to mind? What reaction are you expecting from me?"

Being the intelligent man he was, he had guessed the questions in my heart.

I felt ashamed from the bottom of my heart as I apologized again, "I'm sorry."

However, he suddenly said, "I don't know why I should be angry."

He wasn't sure why he should be angry? Could it be that he thought I had done nothing wrong?!

Or was it because this was his personality? He wouldn't care about anything and would stay calm even before a disaster…
