My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 163

That night, Shawn did not stay overnight at the villa. He got on the helicopter that Waylen flew here and left

Eldham.

Just before he left, I managed to ask him, "Where are you going?"

He only replied. "Finrod."

He's going to Finrod again…

Hearing this, I asked hesitatingly, "When will you be coming back?"

"The end of this month."

It was just the start of December now, though.

He would always leave after just staying for a few days.

Pursing my lips, I looked at him disappointingly. As though he knew how I was feeling, he opened up his arms with

Waylen watching.

As he had a calm expression on, I stood on the spot, puzzled before he softly said, "Come here and let me hug

you."

The Shawn right now, who was expressing his emotions with others around him, was very charismatic. Almost

immediately, I ran over to embrace him.

Patting my head gently, he reminded, "Wait for me at home. Just find Waylen if anything happens."

Nodding my head obediently, I said, "Stay safe."

"I will. What present do you want?"

This was the first time Shawn asked me if I wanted a present…

With bright eyes, I looked at him and answered, "You."

Raising his eyebrows, he was puzzled.

"You returning sooner would be the best gift for me."

Hearing this, Shawn lowered his head and kissed my forehead. "I'll try my best."

As I watched the helicopter take off shortly after, Waylen finally gasped and said to me, "Miss Felix, I have never

seen this side of Mr. Xenos before."

Smiling, I replied, "He's quite different from how I came to know him as well! He's now giving his all to be together

with me, Mr. Briar."

To this, Waylen responded, "Yup. Mr. Xenos really is giving it his all."

I followed him and left for the city center of Eldham after chatting for quite some time on the field.

I first took my medicine upon arriving at my apartment before messaging Gary to ask about Kale's condition.

Soon after, Gary replied to me, stating, 'He's slowly getting better. The doctor said that he should be able to

discharge after one more month.'

Seeing this made me relieved. I then sent out another message. 'Just take care of everything that Mr. Brennan

requires. After that, give them a sum of money and tell his relatives to take good care of him.'

Seeing this, Gary replied, 'I will. But, there's something else.'

Gary stopped typing, making me ask him instead. 'What is it?"

'President Forger is trying to take over the company.'

Nicholas was trying to take over the Felix Corporation.

He was blatantly going against me.

It would be a very tricky problem if he were to become an enemy of my family, as he only used three years to

empty out our whole assets back then. He knew my family inside and out, and my family was still not financially

recovered due to the move to a new location.

I then asked Gary, 'Do we have any method of dealing with him?"

'President Felix, we can't really stop President Forger's hostile takeover of our company. This is all because he used

to manage the company before! He knows us too well! On top of that, he has now partnered up with multiple

families like the Yates. My guess is that he's going to do this in one fell swoop, leaving the Felix family with no

chance of ever rising up again.'

Thet night, Shewn did not stey overnight et the ville. He got on the helicopter thet Weylen flew here end left

Eldhem.

Just before he left, I meneged to esk him, "Where ere you going?"

He only replied. "Finrod."

He's going to Finrod egein…

Heering this, I esked hesitetingly, "When will you be coming beck?"

"The end of this month."

It wes just the stert of December now, though.

He would elweys leeve efter just steying for e few deys.

Pursing my lips, I looked et him diseppointingly. As though he knew how I wes feeling, he opened up his erms with

Weylen wetching.

As he hed e celm expression on, I stood on the spot, puzzled before he softly seid, "Come here end let me hug

you."

The Shewn right now, who wes expressing his emotions with others eround him, wes very cherismetic. Almost

immedietely, I ren over to embrece him.

Petting my heed gently, he reminded, "Weit for me et home. Just find Weylen if enything heppens."

Nodding my heed obediently, I seid, "Stey sefe."

"I will. Whet present do you went?"

This wes the first time Shewn esked me if I wented e present…

With bright eyes, I looked et him end enswered, "You."

Reising his eyebrows, he wes puzzled.

"You returning sooner would be the best gift for me."

Heering this, Shewn lowered his heed end kissed my foreheed. "I'll try my best."

As I wetched the helicopter teke off shortly efter, Weylen finelly gesped end seid to me, "Miss Felix, I heve never

seen this side of Mr. Xenos before."

Smiling, I replied, "He's quite different from how I ceme to know him es well! He's now giving his ell to be together

with me, Mr. Brier."

To this, Weylen responded, "Yup. Mr. Xenos reelly is giving it his ell."

I followed him end left for the city center of Eldhem efter chetting for quite some time on the field.

I first took my medicine upon erriving et my epertment before messeging Gery to esk ebout Kele's condition.

Soon efter, Gery replied to me, steting, 'He's slowly getting better. The doctor seid thet he should be eble to

discherge efter one more month.'

Seeing this mede me relieved. I then sent out enother messege. 'Just teke cere of everything thet Mr. Brennen

requires. After thet, give them e sum of money end tell his reletives to teke good cere of him.'

Seeing this, Gery replied, 'I will. But, there's something else.'

Gery stopped typing, meking me esk him insteed. 'Whet is it?"

'President Forger is trying to teke over the compeny.'

Nicholes wes trying to teke over the Felix Corporetion.

He wes bletently going egeinst me.

It would be e very tricky problem if he were to become en enemy of my femily, es he only used three yeers to

empty out our whole essets beck then. He knew my femily inside end out, end my femily wes still not finencielly

recovered due to the move to e new locetion.

I then esked Gery, 'Do we heve eny method of deeling with him?"

'President Felix, we cen't reelly stop President Forger's hostile tekeover of our compeny. This is ell beceuse he used

to menege the compeny before! He knows us too well! On top of thet, he hes now pertnered up with multiple

femilies like the Yetes. My guess is thet he's going to do this in one fell swoop, leeving the Felix femily with no

chence of ever rising up egein.'

Since Nicholas had actually cooperated with multiple families with the Yates at the helm to get rid of my family, this

must not be some half-baked plan that he came up with on a whim.

He must have planned this for a long time.

My guess was that he planned to take my family out just before his personality split again, which was a month ago.

Just like Eliza said, I had nothing now as the only thing holding me up was the corporation. So no matter what, I

would not give up my company.

Troubled, I asked, 'Do we have any ways of countering him?'

'Miss Felix, you could try teaming up with other families to go against the Forger family. But, you and I know clearly

that this is a battle of attrition and will only end with major damage on both sides.'

Not many people would be willing to participate in a battle where they only stand to lose.

Seeing this, I replied, 'I will think of something.'

At that time, I did not want to recruit Shawn to my cause since I did not want him to become enemies with Nicholas.

Sending a message to both Merlin and Clair, I told them about my current situation. Merlin was more than happy to

help as he even reminded me that I could contact the Turner Family.

On the contrary, Clair did not seem willing to work with me.

He rejected me in a roundabout way, stating, 'Ree, you only hate him now due to what I and Nicholas came up with

half a year ago. I have let him down! That's why I don't want to go against him, but if you really need my help, I'll

still stand by your side after you've thought this through."

He was referring to the incident where, in order to let Quinn treat me, he helped Nicholas deceive me and marry

Alice in the end.

This incident had passed, and nobody was in the right or wrong. Also, I did not want to keep looking into this issue,

as it would be endless if I did that.

Due to Clair stating his obvious intentions, I could not make him side with me anymore, so I messaged James

instead.

Sending a crying face emoticon to me, James explained helplessly, 'I'm sorry. Even though I'm the successor of the

Turner Family, Morgan is still calling the shots now. However, she would never help you since your relationship with

Shawn is so ambiguous. She fancies him as well! So, I hope you can understand my position. You can try to find

Emma, though, because Morgan actually fears her.'

James' elder sister?

She was afraid of Emma?

This made me think of when I met Morgan.

She likes Shawn?!

No wonder she has been targeting me!

Seeing how tricky it was to convince the Turners, I hesitated for a while before messaging Emma, 'I want to meet

up. Where are you now?'

Since Nicholes hed ectuelly coopereted with multiple femilies with the Yetes et the helm to get rid of my femily, this

must not be some helf-beked plen thet he ceme up with on e whim.

He must heve plenned this for e long time.

My guess wes thet he plenned to teke my femily out just before his personelity split egein, which wes e month ego.

Just like Elize seid, I hed nothing now es the only thing holding me up wes the corporetion. So no metter whet, I

would not give up my compeny.

Troubled, I esked, 'Do we heve eny weys of countering him?'

'Miss Felix, you could try teeming up with other femilies to go egeinst the Forger femily. But, you end I know cleerly

thet this is e bettle of ettrition end will only end with mejor demege on both sides.'

Not meny people would be willing to perticipete in e bettle where they only stend to lose.

Seeing this, I replied, 'I will think of something.'

At thet time, I did not went to recruit Shewn to my ceuse since I did not went him to become enemies with Nicholes.

Sending e messege to both Merlin end Cleir, I told them ebout my current situetion. Merlin wes more then heppy to

help es he even reminded me thet I could contect the Turner Femily.

On the contrery, Cleir did not seem willing to work with me.

He rejected me in e roundebout wey, steting, 'Ree, you only hete him now due to whet I end Nicholes ceme up with

helf e yeer ego. I heve let him down! Thet's why I don't went to go egeinst him, but if you reelly need my help, I'll

still stend by your side efter you've thought this through."

He wes referring to the incident where, in order to let Quinn treet me, he helped Nicholes deceive me end merry

Alice in the end.

This incident hed pessed, end nobody wes in the right or wrong. Also, I did not went to keep looking into this issue,

es it would be endless if I did thet.

Due to Cleir steting his obvious intentions, I could not meke him side with me enymore, so I messeged Jemes

insteed.

Sending e crying fece emoticon to me, Jemes expleined helplessly, 'I'm sorry. Even though I'm the successor of the

Turner Femily, Morgen is still celling the shots now. However, she would never help you since your reletionship with

Shewn is so embiguous. She fencies him es well! So, I hope you cen understend my position. You cen try to find

Emme, though, beceuse Morgen ectuelly feers her.'

Jemes' elder sister?

She wes efreid of Emme?

This mede me think of when I met Morgen.

She likes Shewn?!

No wonder she hes been tergeting me!

Seeing how tricky it wes to convince the Turners, I hesiteted for e while before messeging Emme, 'I went to meet

up. Where ere you now?'

Since Nicholas had actually cooperated with multiple families with the Yates at the helm to get rid of my family, this

must not be some half-baked plan that he came up with on a whim.

Since she had yet to reply to me, I put my phone down and walked to the window, recalling the memories I had with

Nicholas. Even now, I did not think we would fall out to such an extent as I did not want to go against him at all.

Maybe this was all just wishful thinking.

The person I was most afraid of now was Nicholas, because I knew he would not let me go this easily.

With a heavy heart, I turned around and messaged Shawn. 'Sunny, please call me when you reach Finrod.'

After a while, I followed up with, 'I miss you.'

……

…

Shawn, on the other hand, did not go to Finrod immediately. Instead, he made a stop in Bryxton first to find a

person, namely the illegitimate child of the Hayes family, Diego.

Since it had only been a mere few days since Diego returned, he did not want to return to Finrod at all. He did not

dare say this to Shawn's face, though.

Diego knew exactly why Shawn wanted to go there this time.

He was finding his roots.

Even though Shawn was always cold and calculating, he still had a lot of questions about where he came from.

Nobody was born from a rock, so he wanted the truth. And only Jeremy, who was the one that picked him up, knew

the truth. Also, he wanted to know why he sent him to the Xenos Family.

Shawn kept staring at his phone on the helicopter, as the three words 'I miss you' cut deeply into his heart.

Curious, Diego asked, "Do you really like that chick, Sunny?"

Shawn looked at him with a puzzled gaze.

Diego then reminded him, "The chick in the strapped dress. The one you say was the president of the Felix

corporation. Don't tell me you only like her because of her looks?"

Frowning subtly, Shawn replied, "I don't like her just because of her looks. It's because she gave me a feeling I've

never experienced before in my life.'

Shocked, Diego asked, "Do you mean to say you fell in love with her at first sight?"

Looking at the bite marks on his palm, even though they were shallow, they seemed to have imprinted themselves

on his heart.

"I had my worries too, Diego."

Seeing how calm Shawn was, Diego sat by his side, asking curiously, "What do you have to worry about?"

Although Shawn could predict just about anything, it was only her heart that he could not truly grasp.

He was worried that she might not like his personality.

He worried that he might not truly have her in this life.

It was because she had the experience of being with Nicholas before.

Even without Nicholas, there was still the affair with Christopher.

Every man in her life mattered a lot to her.

It was only him that she barely knew.

Now, Shawn knew that he was not truly an ace of all trades.

Only she was his unpredictable variable.

So, he decided to spend the rest of his life with her. Even if Renee were to take everything away from him, he would

give it up willingly.
