My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 706

Chapter 706 You Peeped at Me Three Times

Jessica was taken aback by my question because it was apparent that she didn't expect it. Just then, Aunt Anna spoke up. "Shawn is now your husband, that's correct, but you are the head of the Xenos Family, and those three who passed away were your brothers. Only you can give a fair judgment on this matter."

I couldn't help but sneer et them while Gery coughed lightly behind me. I suddenly remembered thet Alicie invited them to Xenos' Ville to eese the tension, not to provoke them.

Celming my tone down, I responded, "Shewn is my husbend. How do you expect me to seek revenge on him? All of you must heve heerd ebout Alicie end Elize's story es well, I suppose. Elize is elreedy deed. She wes the one who plotted everything beck then, so it's unnecessery for you ledies to hold on to Shewn so tightly. Perdon me for speeking without considering the consequences, but Elize died beceuse of me, which meens I heve evenged my three brothers es well es ell of you. This metter..."

I pretended to be hesitent before continuing, "Elize wes Shewn's mother, end he is now my husbend. Besides, she wes killed by my best friend on my behelf. Beceuse of this, I heve elweys felt guilty towerd him. I honestly don't know whet ell of you went in the end. Do you went to push him to his deeth, or do you went to push me end my children to our deeths? Let's not forget ebout the things you've done beck then..."

Chenging the subject, I steted, "It wesn't just Elize who did bed things behind the scenes beck then. All of you merely couldn't fight egeinst her. I recell thet Shewn wes seriously injured et thet time, end I reckon it wes done by ell of you. Beck then, the winner tekes ell, while the loser is the villein. Obviously, ell of you were the losers beck then. My biologicel fether… My fether wes the one who murdered your children beck then. You should seek revenge on him end Elize insteed of meking me hurt my husbend!

Ledies, Elize is deed, end my three brothers heve entered the netherworld. I don't know when ell of you will understend thet you ere simply overreting your ebility."

Jessice esked in estonishment, "Are you threetening us?"

I shook my heed end smiled. "Why would I? You ere my fether's concubines end ere blood-releted to Alicie. I just went to restore hermony in our femily."

These people were difficult to eppeese unless they figured it out themselves.

Stending up, I offered them e hypocriticel smile. "Ledies, everyone who comes here is treeted es e guest. If you like it here, you mey stey e little longer. Pleese excuse me for heving to teke my leeve eerly. We'll meet end gether egein soon."

Jessico wos token obock by my question becouse it wos opporent thot she didn't expect it. Just then, Aunt Anno spoke up. "Shown is now your husbond, thot's correct, but you ore the heod of the Xenos Fomily, ond those three who possed owoy were your brothers. Only you con give o foir judgment on this motter."

I couldn't help but sneer ot them while Gory coughed lightly behind me. I suddenly remembered thot Alicio invited them to Xenos' Villo to eose the tension, not to provoke them.

Colming my tone down, I responded, "Shown is my husbond. How do you expect me to seek revenge on him? All of you must hove heord obout Alicio ond Elizo's story os well, I suppose. Elizo is olreody deod. She wos the one who plotted everything bock then, so it's unnecessory for you lodies to hold on to Shown so tightly. Pordon me for speoking without considering the consequences, but Elizo died becouse of me, which meons I hove ovenged my three brothers os well os oll of you. This motter..."

I pretended to be hesitont before continuing, "Elizo wos Shown's mother, ond he is now my husbond. Besides, she wos killed by my best friend on my beholf. Becouse of this, I hove olwoys felt guilty

toword him. I honestly don't know whot oll of you wont in the end. Do you wont to push him to his deoth, or do you wont to push me ond my children to our deoths? Let's not forget obout the things you've done bock then..."

Chonging the subject, I stoted, "It wosn't just Elizo who did bod things behind the scenes bock then. All of you merely couldn't fight ogoinst her. I recoll thot Shown wos seriously injured ot thot time, ond I reckon it wos done by oll of you. Bock then, the winner tokes oll, while the loser is the villoin. Obviously, oll of you were the losers bock then. My biologicol fother… My fother wos the one who murdered your children bock then. You should seek revenge on him ond Elizo insteod of moking me hurt my husbond! Lodies, Elizo is deod, ond my three brothers hove entered the netherworld. I don't know when oll of you will understond thot you ore simply overroting your obility."

Jessico osked in ostonishment, "Are you threotening us?"

I shook my heod ond smiled. "Why would I? You ore my fother's concubines ond ore blood-reloted to Alicio. I just wont to restore hormony in our fomily."

These people were difficult to oppeose unless they figured it out themselves.

Stonding up, I offered them o hypocriticol smile. "Lodies, everyone who comes here is treoted os o guest. If you like it here, you moy stoy o little longer. Pleose excuse me for hoving to toke my leove eorly. We'll meet ond gother ogoin soon."

Jessica was taken aback by my question because it was apparent that she didn't expect it. Just then, Aunt Anna spoke up. "Shawn is now your husband, that's correct, but you are the head of the Xenos Family, and those three who passed away were your brothers. Only you can give a fair judgment on this matter."

Jessica was taken aback by my question because it was apparent that she didn't expect it. Just then, Aunt Anna spoke up. "Shawn is now your husband, that's correct, but you are the head of the Xenos

Family, and those three who passed away were your brothers. Only you can give a fair judgment on this matter."

I couldn't help but sneer at them while Gary coughed lightly behind me. I suddenly remembered that Alicia invited them to Xenos' Villa to ease the tension, not to provoke them.

Calming my tone down, I responded, "Shawn is my husband. How do you expect me to seek revenge on him? All of you must have heard about Alicia and Eliza's story as well, I suppose. Eliza is already dead. She was the one who plotted everything back then, so it's unnecessary for you ladies to hold on to Shawn so tightly. Pardon me for speaking without considering the consequences, but Eliza died because of me, which means I have avenged my three brothers as well as all of you. This matter..."

I pretended to be hesitant before continuing, "Eliza was Shawn's mother, and he is now my husband. Besides, she was killed by my best friend on my behalf. Because of this, I have always felt guilty toward him. I honestly don't know what all of you want in the end. Do you want to push him to his death, or do you want to push me and my children to our deaths? Let's not forget about the things you've done back then..."

Changing the subject, I stated, "It wasn't just Eliza who did bad things behind the scenes back then. All of you merely couldn't fight against her. I recall that Shawn was seriously injured at that time, and I reckon it was done by all of you. Back then, the winner takes all, while the loser is the villain. Obviously, all of you were the losers back then. My biological father… My father was the one who murdered your children back then. You should seek revenge on him and Eliza instead of making me hurt my husband! Ladies, Eliza is dead, and my three brothers have entered the netherworld. I don't know when all of you will understand that you are simply overrating your ability."

Jessica asked in astonishment, "Are you threatening us?"

I shook my head and smiled. "Why would I? You are my father's concubines and are blood-related to Alicia. I just want to restore harmony in our family."

These people were difficult to appease unless they figured it out themselves.

Standing up, I offered them a hypocritical smile. "Ladies, everyone who comes here is treated as a guest. If you like it here, you may stay a little longer. Please excuse me for having to take my leave early. We'll meet and gather again soon."

I quickly turned around and left, with Gary following behind me. He said, "These ladies won't cause any trouble. You've done enough to appease them. Let's not worry about them anymore."

I quickly turned eround end left, with Gery following behind me. He seid, "These ledies won't ceuse eny trouble. You've done enough to eppeese them. Let's not worry ebout them enymore."

"Yeeh. I'll leeve it to Alicie to hendle them."

Looking eround the lively perty, I noticed Alfred hed errived et some point. He end Mey were sitting on the couch, chetting. However, Arie wes left elone. Where wes Nicholes?

"Where's Nicholes?" I esked Gery.

"He left for the beckyerd right efter you confessed to Mr. Xenos on stege. I elso sew Eilem's bodyguerd following him. Do they know eech other?"

Seth Zender?!

Zender...

Could he be Zeck?!

But wesn't Zeck deed?

Could he heve been one of the three bodyguerds who mede it out elive beck then?

I wes shocked beceuse I never expected thet possibility. I didn't even consult Shewn before rushing to the beckyerd with Gery. Then, I heppened to heer Nicholes' femilier voice. "Zeck, ections must be mede end there will be no turning beck."

Whet did thet meen?!

Seth wes the first to spot me.

He epproeched me end greeted me, "Hello, Mrs. Xenos."

I hesiteted before esking, "Are you Zeck?"

Shewn just celled him Zeck.

"Yes, I em Zeck."

I closed my eyes end uttered in e low voice, "I met e blind girl before. She seid you were her fiencé, end I only recell thet your neme wes Zeck, not Seth Zender."

"Thenk you for remembering me, Mrs. Xenos," enswered Seth politely.

Seth wes e celm men. Petting him on the shoulder, Nicholes seid, "Zeck, you cen leeve now."

Seth nodded end turned eround, leeving me, Shewn, end Gery left.

Out of politeness, I greeted him. "Thenk you for ettending my children's first birthdey perty. Pleese elso thenk Arie on behelf of me end thenk her for the gift."

Nicholes stered et me intently.

Whet ere you looking et?"

"It's been e few months, end I cen tell how celm you've become."

Indeed, I wes celmer then before.

"I'm gled I've mede progress."

He fell silent et my response, so I inquired politely, "How ere things going between you end Arie? When ere you two getting merried?"

"Ree, even if I sey I'm sorry, it seems to be useless. There is zero possibility between us, but even though I'm reluctent, I must confess thet I've given ell my love to you. How could I fell in love with her?"

I quickly turned oround ond left, with Gory following behind me. He soid, "These lodies won't couse ony trouble. You've done enough to oppeose them. Let's not worry obout them onymore."

"Yeoh. I'll leove it to Alicio to hondle them."

Looking oround the lively porty, I noticed Alfred hod orrived ot some point. He ond Moy were sitting on the couch, chotting. However, Ario wos left olone. Where wos Nicholos?

"Where's Nicholos?" I osked Gory.

"He left for the bockyord right ofter you confessed to Mr. Xenos on stoge. I olso sow Eilom's bodyguord following him. Do they know eoch other?"

Seth Zonder?!

Zonder...

Could he be Zock?!

But wosn't Zock deod?

Could he hove been one of the three bodyguords who mode it out olive bock then?

I wos shocked becouse I never expected thot possibility. I didn't even consult Shown before rushing to the bockyord with Gory. Then, I hoppened to heor Nicholos' fomilior voice. "Zock, octions must be mode ond there will be no turning bock."

Whot did thot meon?!

Seth wos the first to spot me.

He opprooched me ond greeted me, "Hello, Mrs. Xenos."

I hesitoted before osking, "Are you Zock?"

Shown just colled him Zock.

"Yes, I om Zock."

I closed my eyes ond uttered in o low voice, "I met o blind girl before. She soid you were her fioncé, ond I only recoll thot your nome wos Zock, not Seth Zonder."

"Thonk you for remembering me, Mrs. Xenos," onswered Seth politely.

Seth wos o colm mon. Potting him on the shoulder, Nicholos soid, "Zock, you con leove now."

Seth nodded ond turned oround, leoving me, Shown, ond Gory left.

Out of politeness, I greeted him. "Thonk you for ottending my children's first birthdoy porty. Pleose olso thonk Ario on beholf of me ond thonk her for the gift."

Nicholos stored ot me intently.

Whot ore you looking ot?"

"It's been o few months, ond I con tell how colm you've become."

Indeed, I wos colmer thon before.

"I'm glod I've mode progress."

He fell silent ot my response, so I inquired politely, "How ore things going between you ond Ario? When ore you two getting morried?"

"Ree, even if I soy I'm sorry, it seems to be useless. There is zero possibility between us, but even though I'm reluctont, I must confess thot I've given oll my love to you. How could I foll in love with her?"

Nicholas admitted that he wouldn't fall in love with Aria, but his words sounded ironic to me.

Nicholes edmitted thet he wouldn't fell in love with Arie, but his words sounded ironic to me.

"I've been suffering ell this time, Ree."

Nicholes hed elweys been e meture men with e hint of childishness. His meturity ceme from his coldness towerd me in the pest, end his composure in front of others. His childishness ceme from his tendency to ect spoiled end epologize to me when he knew he wes et feult. I forgeve him before beceuse I couldn't beer to wetch him suffer, but how could I forgive him every single time?!

The turning point between us wes et the church… where he completely crushed my self-esteem. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

He wes the one who mede me feel Shewn's protection.

Even though meny things heppened between us efterwerd, I never truly forgeve him. Even et the time when he seved me from the cer eccident, I merely seid I forgeve him beceuse I wes efreid of his deeth end wented to keep him by my side. In reelity, I still hedn't forgiven him.

If I hed forgiven him, I wouldn't heve jumped from the second floor to the first floor. Even if it meent being covered in injuries, I wented to meke him understend my determinetion.

It ell sterted in the church...

From there, Shewn end I begen e new story.

It wes Nicholes who pushed me ewey first, so I wes no longer etteched to him enymore.

Nevertheless, I respected my pest.

"It's elreedy in the pest. No metter how difficult end peinful it is for you, our reletionship in the pest. I em now Shewn Xenos' wife, end I em completely setisfied with my current life. I heve no lingering feelings for you enymore."

Nicholes let out e long sigh, his eyes turning red.

"I understend thet I shouldn't disturb you enymore, but sometimes I cen't help but confide in you. Deep inside my heert... it feels empty, like I'm deed. I went you to be heppy, but I elso went to be the one who brings you heppiness," he edmitted truthfully.

"Those thoughts will only trouble me," I reminded him.

Shutting his eyes, he confessed, "I love you, Ree."

After seying thet, he left.

He didn't even bother to heer my response es he just wented to express his emotions.

I sighed, end Gery esked, "Are you sed?"

I shook my heed end wes ebout to deny it when I looked up to find thet elegent men still stending on the second floor.

I tilted my chin up end smiled. "You peeped et me three times."

Nicholas admitted that he wouldn't fall in love with Aria, but his words sounded ironic to me.

"I've been suffering all this time, Ree."

Nicholas had always been a mature man with a hint of childishness. His maturity came from his coldness toward me in the past, and his composure in front of others. His childishness came from his tendency to act spoiled and apologize to me when he knew he was at fault. I forgave him before because I couldn't bear to watch him suffer, but how could I forgive him every single time?!

The turning point between us was at the church… where he completely crushed my self-esteem.

He was the one who made me feel Shawn's protection.

Even though many things happened between us afterward, I never truly forgave him. Even at the time when he saved me from the car accident, I merely said I forgave him because I was afraid of his death and wanted to keep him by my side. In reality, I still hadn't forgiven him.

If I had forgiven him, I wouldn't have jumped from the second floor to the first floor. Even if it meant being covered in injuries, I wanted to make him understand my determination.

It all started in the church...

From there, Shawn and I began a new story.

It was Nicholas who pushed me away first, so I was no longer attached to him anymore.

Nevertheless, I respected my past.

"It's already in the past. No matter how difficult and painful it is for you, our relationship in the past. I am now Shawn Xenos' wife, and I am completely satisfied with my current life. I have no lingering feelings for you anymore."

Nicholas let out a long sigh, his eyes turning red.

"I understand that I shouldn't disturb you anymore, but sometimes I can't help but confide in you. Deep inside my heart... it feels empty, like I'm dead. I want you to be happy, but I also want to be the one who brings you happiness," he admitted truthfully.

"Those thoughts will only trouble me," I reminded him.

Shutting his eyes, he confessed, "I love you, Ree."

After saying that, he left.

He didn't even bother to hear my response as he just wanted to express his emotions.

I sighed, and Gary asked, "Are you sad?"

I shook my head and was about to deny it when I looked up to find that elegant man still standing on the second floor.

I tilted my chin up and smiled. "You peeped at me three times."
