My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 584

Chapter 584 Doe

"Aimes and I have been at odds with each other for a long time now. He completely ignores me as well as anyone by Shawn's side. Aimes' attitude is like that of a child's. If he doesn't get the results he wants, he throws a tantrum. Nevertheless, this situation still needs a solution."

"Ah, let's talk about it later. We've been arguing and fighting for so many years. Even though we haven't… Ray, I'll be honest with you. Aimes and I have a complicated relationship. How can I explain it? It's ambiguous. Even though we've never said that we're together in these many years, we still trust each other despite the arguing. He's just too temperamental, and I can accommodate him once or twice, but I can't do it forever."

I had known about Kevin and Aimes' relationship for a long time now, but it was all in secret. Kevin didn't know that I knew about their relationship, and this was the first time he was honest with me!

I pretended to be surprised and said, "You guys are…"

Then I added, "Congratulations, Kev."

He sighed.

"Kev, you have to coax him."

"I'll figure it out on my own."

I replied, "Okay, take care of Eilam for me."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of him." NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

After that, I messaged Anthony, telling him to give all of the power in Bryxton to Rudy. He replied with concern, 'All of it?'

Giving everything to Rudy was like handing over the keys to Bryxton. I decided to trust him this time. "Yeah, give it all to him. He should know the bottom line."

A few minutes later, Rudy messaged me back. 'You're so slow.'

Rudy meant that I was too indecisive. I replied, 'Keep up the good work!'

Rudy didn't reply. In the meantime, Anthony messaged me again, stating, 'I've already given the order. All of the resources in Bryxton are now open to Rudy, but I have a backup plan.'

'Okay. Just take care of it.'

Anthony was more mature than I was. He knew what kind of plan was best for the Xenos Family. I put down my phone and went downstairs for lunch. When I returned to my room, Shawn was already dressed in formal attire. I placed the food in front of him and asked, "Are we leaving here soon?"

"I have two meetings this afternoon. We'll leave on the plane tonight; we'll be able to rest on the plane."

He paused and then suggested, "Although it's a small country, the culture here is exotic and interesting. You can take the bodyguards with you to explore later."

"Bringing bodyguards would attract too much attention," I said.

"I'll have them dress in plain clothes," Shawn suggested.

Shawn had a solution instantly.

"Okay, you should eat first."

Shawn nodded and sat down to eat. After finishing his meal, he only stayed with me for a few minutes before leaving the hotel due to his busy schedule. I thought about his suggestion and soon, I went downstairs again. I wandered around the marketplace and bought many gifts for those back in Bryxton. I also bought some exotic-looking dresses that looked pretty. Subsequently, I changed into one before heading out again at dusk.

The sky looked golden as I entered the marketplace again. I was drawn to a stall run by a vendor because she looked like she was from the same country as me. Beside her stood a four-year-old girl, but the little girl looked mixed-race. I smiled and asked in the local language, "Do you speak English?"

She nodded and replied in English, "Uh, a little."

Her stall sold hairbands. "Is this your child? She's very pretty." I asked.

"Yes, her name is Doe."

"Is it a nickname?"

The woman smiled and nodded, replying in Welian, "My English is not very good, so let's communicate in Welian. The child's full name is Dorothy Saunders, but we call her Doe for short."

Surprised, I asked, "She's a Saunders?"

The woman looked confused and asked, "Why so surprised?"

"I have a friend with the last name Saunders," I said.

"Oh, that last name is quite common. She took her father's surname. Her father has one-eighth French blood; my grandmother is German and my great-grandfather is Irish. Although I don't look like my gene pool very much, Doe's genetics show up in a very obvious manner. I hope she will look more like her father in the future."

Her eyes were full of tenderness and love. I thought to myself that I had plenty of time, so I curiously asked her, "Where is her father? Am I asking too much?"

She shook her head and said, "It's okay. It's rare to meet someone who looks like me here, so our encounter is fateful. Her father is at home, and his health isn't great."

"Oh, can I buy these hairbands?"

"Miss, you don't need so many of them," she said.

"I like these styles and want to buy them all," I said.

She hesitated and nodded. "Okay. Thank you, miss."

I handed her the cash and asked, "How old are you?"

"I'm 23. Doe was born when I was 18."

"Oh, her father must be quite young too."

I just casually spoke, but she suddenly became somewhat sad and said, "Yes, he's not very mature and doesn't understand what responsibility is. He often fools around outside and never gives me any money for our living expenses."

She said these things in English, seemingly afraid that her child would hear.

"You love him very much," I said confidently.

"Yes. Only by loving him can I feel selfless and not regret things," she said.

"Thank you, please wrap everything up for me."

The little girl standing beside her said happily, "Mom, we can go home early today!"

She spoke Welian fluently, but there were very few people who could speak it properly here.

"Alright. I'll make you something delicious tonight," the woman said.

After buying the hairbands, I left with curiosity in my heart, but that curiosity didn't last long as I forgot about it completely after an hour. I bought a lot of things, and by the time I got back to the hotel, it was

already dark. Shawn arrived 20 minutes later and took me to the airport after taking a short break. While waiting for the plane, I messaged Ezekiel to ask him something. I told him about Robert's mother's attitude and he replied, 'She is traumatized about Robert. She doesn't actually hate him. She merely fears him deep down.'

'What is she afraid of?' I asked.

'I need to investigate. Wait for me.'

I wanted to understand why Robert's mother had always rejected him. It seemed that no matter how hard anyone tried to convince her, it seemed futile. If it was solely because of Robert's grandfather's attitude, it seemed too far-fetched. If it was because she wanted to stabilize her position in the Saunders Family, it also seemed too far-fetched as Robert was much more powerful than the Saunders Family.

Moreover, Robert's grandfather… He had experienced the ups and downs of the business world his whole life, so he naturally knew the pros and cons. If he disliked Robert, it would cause him to lose a lot of business. He knew this, but he still acted this way. Why was that? I clearly sensed that Robert's mother was mentally unstable. It was because of this that I planned to ask Ezekiel, the powerful psychologist.

I put away my phone. Just then, Shawn saw my puzzled expression. He asked me what was wrong; I hesitated and said, "Robert's situation is confusing me. I feel like the Saunders Family dislikes him for other reasons besides his health."

"Yeah, it's not just because of his health condition."

"Shawn, do you know the whole story?"
