My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 518

Chapter 518

"An abortion?" I repeated in disappointment.

"You can't get pregnant again. I'm sorry. I was too careless. I'll make sure to wear a condom from now on."

"You scared me. You were so cold and intimidating just now."

Shawn turned over and hugged me tightly. "Silly girl."

…

When I woke up the next morning, Shawn wasn't in the room. I heard sounds from the balcony, so I walked out in my pajamas and heard him saying in irritation, "You're not dead yet."

As I put my arms around his waist, I heard Rudy's voice over the phone. "Dying's easy, but that lunatic is getting on my nerves!"

Shawn sighed. "Right. I'll head back to Bryxton this afternoon."

After hanging up on Rudy, Shawn turned around and hugged me. "Rudy's annoying. He keeps urging me to go back to Bryxton."

Our honeymoon had only lasted five days.

In all honesty, I was feeling pretty reluctant.

Still, I knew what the situation was like in Bryxton.

"Alright. I miss the babies, too."

Shawn bent down to kiss my cheek. After a few more kisses, he went downstairs. He said he had things to settle here.

He said it had to do with his work.

I didn't bother asking for details.

He was involved in a lot of things.

I changed into shorts and a short-sleeved top before putting on some sunscreen because I didn't want to get burnt in the sun. Then, I put my hair up in a bun.

However, when I finished, I realized I didn't take a shower.

Thus, I went into the bathroom and showered before redoing my makeup and putting on sunscreen again. When I opened the door, I saw Eins and Zwei standing guard outside.

I bent down to rub their heads.

"Let's go on a walk together."

I took the two dogs downstairs. They were still wearing the same vests from yesterday. It looked pretty cool. I was pleased with the sight.

I walked along the coastline. The bodyguards stayed a short distance behind me. Soon, I saw someone in front of me.

The silhouette looked a little familiar.

When I came closer, I noticed he had sunglasses on.

After scrutinizing him for a while, I finally realized who it was and exclaimed in surprise, "Ezekiel!"

He took off his sunglasses. "Ms. Felix."

He called me Ms. Felix.

To my memory, he never addressed me by my first name.

Never…

This word made it seem as if we had met countless times before.

"What are you doing here?" I asked curiously.

"I started missing you, Ms. Felix."

I was dumbfounded.

Eins and Zwei kept barking, and the bodyguards came closer. I quickly tried to get the dogs to calm down, as I was certain that Ezekiel wouldn't do anything to me.

I didn't know why I trusted him.

Ezekiel said to the bodyguards, "I just want to have a chat with Mrs. Xenos. You don't need to be so wary of me."

The bodyguards recognized him and didn't back away.

Ezekiel turned to me. "Please help, Ms. Felix."

He's asking me for help?

"What do you want?" I asked him.

"I want to talk to you, Ms. Felix."

I frowned and gestured for the bodyguards to retreat.

Once they left, Ezekiel abruptly held a gift box out to me. I took it and saw a single flower petal inside.

"Is it pretty?" he asked me.

"Yeah. What about it?"

I returned it to him, and he put it away.

I saw the bell around his wrist, and a clear sound rang out from the bell.

"I just picked it up," he said warmly.

I ignored that and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I said I missed you, Ms. Felix, but you don't believe me."

I voiced my disbelief, "Shawn is here, Ezekiel, and you're enemies! Do you think I'll believe you when you put yourself at risk just to come over here? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell him you're here? What on earth are you doing here, Ezekiel?"

The bell kept ringing, and the longer I heard it, the more tired I felt. Ezekiel bent down and dropped the flower petal into the ocean.

It floated further and further away.

"It's like you," he remarked softly.

"Huh?"

"Ms. Felix, although I said I wasn't going to bother you, I miss you so much when I don't see you. I kept

thinking about you the past few days when you weren't in Bryxton."

What he said was too frank to be interpreted in any other way!

I didn't know what to say in response!

Plus, considering our relationship…

It wasn't as if we were familiar enough with each other for him to go that far.

"What on earth do you want?" I asked again.

The bell was still ringing, and I was exhausted. It felt as if I was under a spell. I stared foolishly at him.

He saw the state I was in and said, "Ms. Felix?"

"I feel dizzy, Ezekiel."

"Don't be afraid, Ms. Felix. It's just hypnosis."

"Did you hypnotize me?"

"I did," he replied as if he had done nothing wrong. "I want to talk to you. I just want to talk. I'll let you go later."

I wanted to sit on the beach. Ezekiel took his jacket off and draped it on the sand. I stuck my feet inside the cool ocean water. "It's so comfortable. I'm so confused, Ezekiel."

"What are you confused about, Ms. Felix?" he asked gently.

"I keep hearing a bell ringing."

"Yeah. I want to have a quiet moment with you." He paused. Suddenly, he lifted his hand and brought it down on my head, but he stopped just before he touched me. "Even though I studied psychology, I've been researching hypnosis, and I used it on you again, Ms. Felix. That's the only way you'd be willing to spend time with me. Once you wake up, you won't remember what we talked about."

"Again? You've hypnotized me before?"

"Yeah. You forgot all about it, Ms. Felix."

It was true. I couldn't recall a single thing.

All I knew was that I recognized Ezekiel.

After deliberating for some time, I asked, "Do you like me?"

"I've always liked you so much, Ms. Felix."

Ezekiel was looking at me with the softest expression. His eyes were red as he said, "In the past, I had to stay in Europe because I had no choice, and now, my sole reason in life is to stay by your side, Ms. Felix. I don't need you to give me anything in return. I just want to be by your side and get to see you whenever I miss you."

"Ezekiel, that's…"

I didn't know what to say.

"I missed you so much the past few days, Ms. Felix."

He said that three times already.

I averted my eyes and asked, "Do I need to like you, too?"

"No," he replied.

I turned to him again, and he continued with a gentle smile, "I won't ever force you to do anything, Ms. Felix. I just want to be close to you for my own selfish reasons. All I need is for you to sit here with me, Ms. Felix."

There was a long silence. The ocean breeze whistled in the air. He stood up abruptly and left without saying a word.

As I stared at his retreating figure, all I could think of was the word 'lonely.'

Ezekiel was very lonely.

I remained seated. A few minutes later, a familiar voice rang out beside me. "What are you doing here, Mrs. Xenos?"

I turned around!

"Shawn," I called out with a faint smile.

"What are you doing here?" he repeated.

What was I doing here?

My mind was completely blank.

I thought I saw Ezekiel.

That's right. I saw Ezekiel just now.

Shawn came just as soon as he left!

He chose the perfect timing.

"Ezekiel was here just now. He just left!"

I got up and asked Shawn, "Why would Ezekiel be here?"

Shawn frowned. He had a cold look in his eyes as he asked, "What did he say?"
