My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 245

"I remember you. You're just a pile of rubbish sentenced to death by the Xenos Family!"

Colin was so stunned that he spoke incoherently. "R-Rubbish?"

I chuckled and countered sarcastically, "No? Are you trash, then?" He was just trash and a disgrace to me!

At that, he laughed in anger. "Shawn's woman is so feisty!"

He brought up the last name I wanted to hear.

I didn't give him a response. After a moment of silence, I reminded him faintly, "Enjoy these few days of peace. After I am done with Christmas…"

The pleasant sound of a piano came from the stage, and I continued in a low voice, "WT will be trashed!"

From the other end of the line came Colin's laughter. "Who gave you the courage to say that?"

I ignored him and hung up the phone.

However, I didn't know that Colin was currently looking at Shawn, who was flipping through some books. Then, Colin asked with a stunned expression, "Why is your woman so hot-tempered? Could it be that she's still holding a grudge against me?"

Without raising his head, Shawn answered, "She's always good at holding grudges."

Renee held a grudge, so she never forgave Nicholas. Hence, Shawn knew the woman would never forgive him. He turned a page as Colin said with a sad expression, "I should have been more polite to her."

Shawn only looked up at Colin and asked coldly, "What did you do to her?"

Colin would not have the courage to say that he had gotten horny and held Renee's little hand to touch his member. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

If Shawn knew about that, Colin would die right away!

So, Colin hurriedly said with a laugh, "I pushed her into the arena."

Shawn was stunned. He kicked her hard that day. As such, he was curious about her injury and worried about her.

However, he was but a trapped beast. Kevin had not found out Shawn's whereabouts yet. Still, it was not slow in the investigation, but WT had gone so far as to destroy a century-old foundation to hide him.

So, the only thing that could locate his whereabouts was the Xenos Family's GPS.

Hence, the person that could search for him in a short time was Renee.

It was almost Christmas and Renee's birthday.

Shawn was regretful as he withdrew his gaze to look at the wedding ring.

Her birthday present to him a year ago was her determination to marry him.

Sighing, he mumbled, "I'm sorry to have upset you."

Renee, my babe. I owe you, although this wasn't my intent. However, this is my world, where disaster and glory go hand in hand.

…

The recital only lasted for three hours. After it was over, Christopher got up and left immediately.

He messaged me, 'I'm sorry. There's a huge audience down there, so I'm sure to cause a panic if I go looking for you. I'll leave first. I plan to stay in Eldham for the night and pick Emma up tomorrow before returning to Goldshore.'

Christopher's tone hinted that he was confident that Emma would follow him back to Goldshore.

Deep down, he was confident that he had her.

The audience in the auditorium left one after another, probably preparing to go home to their families for Christmas. I sat here not knowing where to return to, as I had no place to return in peace.

I stayed here for a long time and fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up again, the music hall was empty. Then, I got up and looked at the gift next to me. It looked pitiful being alone there.

After some thinking, I picked it up and headed to see Joseph waiting at the entrance.

I tossed the gift in his arms and instructed, "Keep it for me."

The snow in Bryxton was heavier now. I suddenly remembered that more than a year ago, when I had three months left, I met Christopher, whose silhouette was elongated long under the streetlamps in the alley nearby.

At that time, I thought he was Nicholas, and I was secretly happy because of the warmth he gave me.

As I thought about it again, I remembered how sad I once was.

I was equally miserable today and still a mess.

In the end, I took a deep breath and said to Joseph, "Wait for me here."

I stepped into the snowy night and the next alley. The long passage was all white with snow. Then, I walked under the same streetlights as before and sighed. "Why do I always feel sad these days?"

I was sad enough to start reminiscing over that faint warmth that used to be there.

Then, I closed my eyes and sobbed, "Shawn, you shattered my faith."

He shattered the love that I had rebuilt with difficulty.

"Miss, are you alone?"

My eyes snapped open to meet a charming and delicate face. I took a step back to steady myself and asked, "Why are you here?"

He smiled and stated, "I miss you."

I turned to leave, but he followed me and asked, "Do you hate me?"

No, I don't hate you at all!

I was grateful that he saved me from dying.

However, I didn't want anything to do with him.

It was because Shawn said he was shady.

Shawn also said that he was not easily pleased.

So, I did not want to deal with people like that. Moreover, I did not want to put myself in any unstable situation.

Although I rejected everything about him, he suddenly said, "Happy birthday, Ree."

Apart from Nicholas, he was the first person to wish me a happy birthday.

It was also the first blessing that I was willing to accept.

My strength and calmness were shattered at this moment. I stood there with tears streaming down my face, not knowing what I was aggrieved or sad about. However, I couldn't help the sadness in my heart.

The boy walked up to me and asked, "Miss, why are you crying?"

Why am I crying? "I don't know either," I mumbled softly.

Then, he asked me gently, "Are you sad?"

"Robert, I am doomed to fail in this life."

However, Robert commented dismissively, "Your life has just begun."

Yes, it had only just begun.

However, it felt like a lifetime had passed.

I reached up to wipe the tears on my face and tried to find Joseph to go home. However, Robert stood in front of me. I pushed him away, but my arm got caught in his headphone cords, so the feminine pink headphones with small diamonds dropped to the ground. He reached for them, and I asked him curiously, "Why do you always wear a pair of headphones?"

Robert ignored me, so I asked him in a low voice, "Why aren't you talking?"

However, he still ignored me, so I cursed that he was deaf.

I walked around him to leave, but he called out to me not long after, "Miss, where are you going?"

Robert called me Ree one minute and Miss the next.

Moreover, he spoke as if nothing had just happened.

So, I ignored him and continued walking in the direction I was going. However, he ran to my side and asked softly and nervously, much like a boy, "Can I come home with you? I want to spend Christmas with you."

I refused cruelly when I heard that. "No."

"Miss, I'm all alone," he murmured cutely. "Pity me."

Hence, I inadvertently said, "Why should I take you home if all you do is ignore me?"

Confused, he looked at me and asked, "When did I ignore you?"

At that, I jerked to a halt and inclined my head to look at his headphones.

I then had my speculation. I think I called him deaf twice!
