My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 642 Bringing Him Up In Front Of Christopher

I was forced to invite Kevin and Aimes for coffee, along with Ian, who was invited by Kevin. I had a feeling Kevin

thought Aimes would make things difficult, so he had Ian come along.

They each ordered a cup of coffee following that, and Kevin thoughtfully ordered a strawberry cake for Aimes.

However, Aimes shouted at Kevin, "A strawberry cake? Do I look like someone who likes it? Do you want everyone

to know that I am a..."

Aimes suddenly stopped at that instant.

I pretended not to hear anything, but it was too late.

He didn't even make it hard to be figured out.

Aimes was the one who had an effeminate nature!

I turned my head and chuckled at the window. Just then, Ian suddenly called out, "Ree." I quickly hid my laughter

and turned to him. "What's up?"

He asked expectantly, "I heard Serene Johnston has been with you a lot lately. Did she ever mention me in front of

you?"

It was true that I had been with Serene every day previously because of the concert, but she never mentioned Ian

in front of me.

Serene was not a person who would dwell on the past. Although she had never mentioned Ian in front of me, I

thought we simply hadn't gotten that close to discussing a man more than anything.

I wanted to tell him the truth originally, but I told a white lie when I saw his hopeful look. "She did."

"Well, what did she say about me?"

What did Serene say about Ian?

It was hard for me to answer as I couldn't come up with something that didn't even happen.

"She mentioned you a few times in passing. I can't remember the specifics. Have you not seen her these days?"

"She's not in Espoo. She went back to the Johnston Family to take care of her grandfather a few days ago, and she

also mentioned that he doesn't have much time left."

I reminded him, "You must accompany her at times like these if you really have feelings for her, Ian. Women are at

their most vulnerable states during such a time. I didn't feel much when my mother passed away because there

was not much between us. But the more I thought about it when I was alone, the sadder I became. I didn't expect

Shawn would accompany me that night, but I was really grateful for his timely appearance."

Aimes took a sip of coffee before asking, "Are you showing off?"

I fell silent after that. Ian sighed and replied, "Things between me and her are still complicated. We'll talk more

about it later."

Suddenly, Kevin asked, "Are you busy lately, Ian?"

"I'm in the middle of the busiest period. I have to pull through the next two weeks somehow," Ian replied.

Kevin continued after he let out a sigh with empathy, "Indeed, these two months are the busiest for us. I'm still

relatively free now. But you and Sunny will be busy for a while. I really feel it for you."

"You can replace me at work for a few days if that's the case, Kev."

Kevin stopped speaking when he heard that.

Kevin and Ian had to go back to work after they had finished their coffee, leaving only I and Aimes.

I asked, "Are you going to see Kev later?"

Aimes only rolled his eyes as he replied, "Why would I look for him?"

I fell silent once again.

He asked just as I finished my coffee and was about to leave, "Has Colin contacted you?"

I asked in confusion, "Why would he contact me?"

"He was kidnapped. Didn't he ask for your help?"

I recalled what Kevin had told me at that instant.

Then, I tried to explain calmly, "Colin probably didn't feel right to ask me for help. We're not even that close after

all. Plus, he always ensures that his dignity is intact, and I don't have that much money to help him anyway."

Aimes was skeptical, and he asked, "Would you sit down and chat with someone you're not close with for an entire

afternoon?"

I was instantly left speechless.

That felt like a punch right to the face.

I retorted after a moment, "So, is this what you'll do as someone close to him?"

Aimes got angry, and he asked, "How dare you question me!"

I only sighed and replied, "I really don't know him that well."

Moreover, he didn't even contact me. Why should I worry about him?

Besides, I didn't mind seeing him in such a miserable state anyway.

"Fine. I'm leaving."

Aimes left the coffee shop after saying that, leaving me behind. However, I saw Christopher send Emma to the

company from afar when I was alone.

So, I messaged Christopher after Emma entered the company, and he took out his phone to take a look at it before

looking in my direction.

Christopher entered the coffee shop following that, and he asked, "Are you free today?"

He took a seat right across from me and ordered a cup of coffee.

"I'm sorry. I missed the meeting last time," I apologized.

I felt it was necessary to apologize in person even though I had explained the reason to Christopher on the phone

previously.

Christopher was a real gentleman. He replied, "It's okay. I heard from Emma that it was inevitable. So, don't worry

about it."

I only nodded before asking, "When are you planning to return to Bryxton?"

"I found that Emma was always busy when I was in Espoo. She would only rest five to six hours a day. A young lady

like her shouldn't carry such burdens at her age. Although I feel sorry for her, she didn't mind about it at all. She

said she would go back to Bryxton at the end of the month according to her plan, and my vacation would also be

over by then. So, I plan to hold the remaining musical concerts domestically only."

Christopher had been trying his best to cater to Emma's needs.

I laughed and said, "You've really done a lot for Emma."

Apparently, the thought of Emma made Christopher happy. He gently placed his hand on his head before adding,

"I'm older than her, so it only makes sense that I do what I did. She's the one who always has to make sacrifices

after all. Don't be fooled by her good temperament. She can be colder than me and Shawn at times. It took me two

whole years to pursue her. Even now, I'm not sure why she suddenly called me and asked if I wanted to marry her

back then."

Christopher continued, "She actually thought of me when she wanted to get married, and I think that's very special.

Everything I've done for her is worth it."

"I wish you nothing but the best. I'm glad that you're a happy man now," I replied.

"You also have a man who cherishes you in his heart, little girl. You're just as happy too, but sadly, we can't say the

same goes for Nicholas just yet."

Christopher mentioning Nicholas reminded me of the last time we met.

He still loved me in his heart.

He owed me big time in this life.

But I also owed him a lot.

We owed each other too much to be only considered friends.

"When is he getting married?" I asked Christopher.

"He'll be marrying Aria pretty soon although there isn't a specific date just yet. Aria is getting older, and her family

is pushing her to get married while Nicholas is also being urged by his father."

Christopher paused for a brief moment, and he claimed confidently, "Nicholas doesn't love Aria. Fortunately, she

doesn't care about him not loving her. However, she does love him. Nicholas has learned his lesson after his

marriage with you. They will treat each other thoughtfully with respect even if they can't love each other for now.

So, their marriage should still work out well. In fact, they are getting what they deserve if you ask me."

"Aria is not a greedy person."

"Aria is a talented person. A person like her loves Nicholas..." Christopher continued insightfully, "She must be a

woman who has suffered gravely. Otherwise, she wouldn't just compromise and settle down like this."

"I heard that Aria had an unhappy childhood."

Aria had told me a little about it before.

Just then, my phone rang.

It was from Colin.
