My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 684 His Sudden Return

Rudy didn't answer, so I asked him again. After a long pause, he chuckled and replied, "She suddenly changed her mind and refused to meet up with me. I was confused about her sudden change, so I used the Xenoses' tracking system to monitor her phone just now. She only contacted you just now, so it must be you who made her refuse me, Mrs. Xenos. Since that's the case, you must make it up to me."

I furrowed my brows and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I was attacked just now, but I don't know anyone in Bryxton, so please find a doctor to come and treat my wounds."

After sighing, I asked, "Where are you now?"

"At the seaside villa," he said.

A short pause later, his voice became hoarse as he explained, "I don't plan to bother her anymore. I just want her to forgive me..."

The "her" he mentioned must be May.

I rushed to the villa with the doctors and Waylen, where we discovered the unconscious Rudy lying by the pool with injuries all over his body.

The two doctors took him inside to be treated. While I was staring at the blood on the ground, it reminded me of the bloody warehouse door.

The blood stains on that door were dark.

That indicated that they had been there for many years.

It was Ezekiel's blood.

Seeing me lost in thought, Waylen patiently asked, "Mrs. Xenos, you seem upset. Is it because of Rudy's injuries? It's normal for people like him and Mr. Xenos to get hurt. Moreover, Rudy has already lost his power and is in a more dangerous situation than Mr. Xenos. He's only staying in Bryxton to protect himself."

People like Shawn, Ezekiel, and Rudy had experienced a lot of pain since they were young, a pain that someone with a happy childhood, like me, could never understand.

I asked in confusion, "Who could target Rudy in Bryxton?"

"I think you might have guessed it."

I pursed my lips. "Sir Larson, right?"

"Mr. Xenos will be returning soon, and it will be even harder for Mr. Larson to go after Mr. Adams. Actually, it's understandable that he wants the other gone."

Yes, it was understandable.

After all, Rudy insulted Alfred's wife.

If it were Shawn in that situation, he would have killed Rudy a long time ago.

I suddenly understood that Alfred's enemy was Rudy, yet Shawn was Rudy's protector. They had been enemies from the beginning, and their current cooperation was just a facade. It was because they had the same interest and could never become friends.

"Why does Shawn protect Rudy?" I wanted to hear Waylen's explanation.

"They have very similar pasts, and after so many years of knowing each other, they have formed an understanding. Besides, Rudy had previously helped Mr. Xenos when he was in danger. Although they appear to be at odds with each other, they understand each other and never push each other to the brink. They would always leave a little leeway for each other, and though Mr. Xenos has never admitted it, Rudy is the only friend he has ever acknowledged. Those two have a mutual understanding of each other."

Waylen understood Shawn, and everything he said was true.

"Kevin and Diego are his buddies and subordinates, but the only friend that Shawn has ever acknowledged is indeed the powerless Rudy. I always believe that Rudy willingly gave up his power."

I remembered that Rudy had mentioned it before.

It was because he felt guilty toward Ezekiel.

But I think there was more to it than what he revealed.

"Why do you think that, Mrs. Xenos?"

I previously met Rudy before he gave up his forces. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

He had a look of despair and hopelessness on his face.

At that time, he seemed like he was ready to die.

I suddenly remembered what Robert had said.

He told me not to speculate about other people's thoughts.

Afterward, I quickly dialed Gary's number and asked him to bring that document to the villa.

The document that Rudy had given me.

I had previously given that to Joseph.

But Joseph had passed it to Gary.

"Waylen, let's go home."

Waylen was surprised. "Mrs. Xenos, are we leaving already?"

"I'm not the person he loves, so he doesn't want to see me. Having a doctor here is enough. Let's go home."

I returned home and saw Gary waiting at the door. I took the document from his hand and opened it. Inside were documents proving ownership of properties, cars, bank cards, gold, and diamonds, all under May's name.

The properties alone were worth billions.

There was also a letter, which wrote, 'May, I'm sorry. The thing I regret most in my life… It doesn't matter anymore. I've left you an inheritance that will ensure you a worry-free life. So even if you don't rely on Sir Larson in the future, you can still live freely. Don't reject it because I'm using my life to make it up to you. To atone for what I've done to you. So please forgive me. These assets have done nothing wrong to you. Goodbye, I won't bother you anymore.'

Rudy Adams used the word "inheritance."

At that time, he was planning to commit suicide.

He planned to use suicide as a way to atone for his doings.

But then Ezekiel appeared.

So, Rudy willingly allowed Ezekiel to take away his forces and let Ezekiel torment him.

But then he returned to Bryxton...

He wanted to be with May.

He hoped May could forgive him, even slightly.

I handed the document to Gary. "Seal it again."

I didn't plan to let May find out about these.

That was because she was now Alfred's wife.

Rudy no longer had anything to do with her.

I returned to the villa, ready to discuss our plans for the children's first birthday party, but Alicia had gone to bed, so I didn't disturb her rest.

Later, Waylen and Gary left together. I noticed that the courtyard was lit up, especially the artificial pond. Intricate waterproof lights were scattered among the water lilies and their leaves, enveloping each flower in a soft glow.

Once I approached the pond, I squatted beside it, wanting to take photos with my phone. After taking a few photos, I felt it wasn't enough and took a selfie. Then, I sent the photos to Shawn.

The man replied, 'Yes. I saw that.'

I asked excitedly, 'Aren't they beautiful?'

'You look like a fairy while standing beside the pond.'

I put away my phone and was about to pluck a water lily so that I could bring it back to my room when I suddenly remembered what Shawn replied. He said, 'Yes. I saw that.'

What did he see? Could he have seen me?

Just as I was about to turn around, a pair of arms wrapped around my body from behind, and I felt a cool breath by my ear. "Babe."

"When did you come back, Sunny? Kevin said they would be back in two days, so I thought you would be away for longer!"

Shawn tightened his arms around my waist. "They were supposed to return today, but I let them deal with my matters."

While I hugged his neck, he kissed my lips affectionately while rubbing my lower back. But then he suddenly asked, "Are you not afraid I'll be jealous to see you wearing so little clothing?"

"But I didn't know you were coming home."

I wore little clothing because I wanted my tattoos to breathe in some fresh air.

Shawn sounded displeased. "You should be punished for doing so behind my back."

"Why are you so domineering?"
