My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 683

Chapter 683 Refusing Rudy

I couldn't see any difference, but Alicia traced the patterns with her fingers. Then, her expression changed as if she was particularly touched.

Then, she said, "This is the word Xenos."

"Yes, the door of Xenos Manor has a complex and difficult-to-recognize 'Xenos' carved on it using traditional handwork. The only person who can recognize this pattern is the matriarch of the Xenos Family."

Alicia smiled as Waylen led her inside. The villa had a vintage-style decor with furniture made of dark- colored ebony. There were also framed calligraphies hanging on the walls, contrasting with the castle- style architecture on the exterior.

I glanced at the calligraphy and saw they all had the word "Xenos" at the end.

Then, I heard Alicia ask Waylen, "Did Shawn write these?"

"Yes, Mr. Xenos personally wrote these. They were all moved from the Xenos Manor, where you used to live. Some of them went into Mr. Xenos' study, and some were left for you."

When I first met Shawn, he already had an interest in calligraphy.

He even wanted to teach me.

Unfortunately, I had no talent in this aspect.

Alicia praised, "He's so thoughtful."

"Old Mrs. Xenos, please rest while I bring Mrs. Xenos to unpack her luggage. We can discuss the children's first birthday party arrangements tonight."

"Okay, I'm tired. I'll take a nap."

Waylen led me away. When they exited Alicia's villa, he took a breath and said, "Finally, my mission has been successfully completed."

I rolled my eyes at him. "Look how tired you are."

"I don't feel tired. I just want to satisfy her in every aspect. Why don't you go and see your villa, Mrs. Xenos? The interior decoration was already fixed when it was purchased, but Mr. Xenos personally selected the villa and all the furniture. Your bedroom is next to Mr. Xenos' study and is particularly spacious because he said that you like beautiful clothes."

"The walk-in closet is connected to the bedroom?" I asked.

Waylen didn't answer me. The moment I pushed open the villa door and went in, I saw that the living room was exceptionally luxurious, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.

I walked past the living room and went upstairs. Following Waylen's instructions, I found our bedroom, and when I went in, I noticed the decor was not plainly black and white but had a touch of liveliness due to having various other colors. However, the primary colors were still light and elegant, while the colors for the light fixtures were in warmer tones.

I asked Waylen, "Is this what Shawn chose?"

"Mr. Xenos said that you don't like things to be too monotonous."

The bed was smaller than before. The previous bed could accommodate our two children as well, but now it was only enough for me and Shawn.

On the other hand, the wardrobe was huge. I exclaimed as I opened it because various clothes were already inside, including short-sleeved shirts, shorts, buttoned shirts, skirts, dresses, and so on. Then, Waylen helped me push open the other side of the wardrobe, revealing Shawn's clothes.

Apart from black and white formal wear, there were also shirts of other colors, including short-sleeved shirts, jeans, and clothes of different styles.

"Waylen, you've learned to buy other styles of clothes for him."

Waylen smiled. "I saw that Mr. Xenos didn't mind wearing clothes of other styles, so I thought he might want to change his style."

After saying that, Waylen pleaded, "Mrs. Xenos, please don't tell him that I bought these."

"Who else besides you would buy clothes for him?"

Smiling, Waylen reasoned, "You, of course."

"Okay, I'll take the blame for you."

"Thank you, Mrs. Xenos. I have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now. Do you need me to bring anything?"

"No need. Why don't you take Gary with you?"

Waylen took Gary away, and only then did I familiarize myself with the various corners of the villa. After returning to the bedroom, I discovered a cabinet next to the wardrobe, so I opened it and saw that it was filled with bags that were currently trending. Everything was well-prepared and comfortable.

I lay on the bed and texted Shawn, 'I just picked up your mom, and we're in our new home now. We'll stay the night here.'

Shawn replied, 'Sure. Do you like it?'

I rarely contacted him recently, mainly because I was afraid of disturbing him when he was busy. So, I replied, 'Yes, I do.'

But then I received a perfunctory reply. 'Good.'

I didn't reply to his message anymore.

In the evening, Kevin sent a message to our group, 'Ray, we will be returning to Bryxton in two days. Besides me, Emma, Diego, Ciara, Ian, Christopher, and Serene will be on the same flight. Oh, and Aimes, that follower, will also be returning with us.'

Then when will Shawn return to Bryxton? When will he finish his busy schedule?!

Tracy replied to Kevin in the group, 'Did you just call Aimes a follower? Aren't you afraid that I'll show him what you said?'

Kevin gave a frustrated reply, 'Why are you still in our group? I thought you had left already. My apologies. I'll delete that message.'

Emma replied, 'It was Serene who left.'

I knew that Kevin didn't like Tracy very much.

But I didn't expect him to be so direct.

Tracy replied with ellipses.

The next second, she invited Aimes into the group.

Following that, she posted screenshots of what Kevin had just said in the group.

Aimes was instantly furious and retorted, 'Who wants to return with you guys?'

After sending that message, he left the group.

I was at a loss for what to say after watching what had just happened.

Kevin scolded Tracy, 'You can't stand seeing others happy, can you? Tracy, I hope you'll never get anything you want in your life!'

'I can't get what I want? At least I'm better than you. How dare you speak to me this way when you have feelings for another man? Do you think I want to be in this group?'

Kevin rebuked, 'Then leave the group!'

'Why should I? Why don't you leave the group?'

'It's none of your business. Leave!'

'No, I won't. What are you going to do about it?'

'I warn you, leave the group!'

'I won't. I'll stay here and annoy you. Come at me if you dare. Tsk, you angered Aimes yet still approached him to flatter and coax him. Were you just speaking out of frustration before?'

'Tracy, do you think I won't beat you up once I return to Bryxton? Oh, by the way, I heard you've been quite close with Ray's bodyguard lately. The Xenoses' bodyguards are skilled in every aspect, obedient, and well-tamed. Do you think you're worthy of him?'

'Oh, my, you're talking as if I'm so inferior. At least I have the Hayes Family behind me, while you and Diego can only rely on Shawn for a living!'Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Diego quietly interjected, 'Don't drag me into this fight.'

They began arguing non-stop, so I put down my phone with a headache and stopped reading the group messages. Then, May suddenly called me, "Ree."

I asked her, "What's the matter?"

"Rudy contacted me. He wants to meet me, but I'm afraid to go... Can you accompany me? There are some things I want to clarify with him."

I asked again, "What are you going to say?"

"I'm not sure…"

"If you're not sure, then don't go. Wait until you have a clear idea before meeting with him. Otherwise, if Alfred finds out, he might... Alfred knows about your whereabouts, so there's no need to cause any misunderstandings."

Alfred hated Rudy.

Last time, he even chased Rudy to Shawn's seaside villa.

I think Alfred still hadn't put that grudge behind him.

He was probably looking for a chance to get rid of Rudy for good.

But what kind of method would he use?

"I'll take your advice and reject Rudy's invite."

May hung up, and not long after that, Rudy suddenly called. I answered the phone in surprise, "What's up?"

"May just contacted you."

I asked in astonishment, "How did you know?"
