My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 511

Shawn was always a cool and collected man. I had never seen him panic, and I smiled. "Thanks for helping me out."

He looked at me. "My pleasure. Not like I have anything else to spend it on. I spent most of the budget on uterine cancer. I don't care how much money it'll take—I just want results. Or else they're all fired. After your mother's case, I've been keeping an eye on this field. No matter what happens, I want to be in control. You're the one I care about the most. I will not let anything happen to you. I want you to stay healthy."

He was so caring and loving. With tears in my eyes, I said, "And you call me talkative. I thought I would have a headache just from that speech."

He smiled. "So unreasonable."

I kissed his cheek, and he took me into the cottage. We made out on the bed for a while before we sat up to read some books. Night came, and Amy texted in the group chat, 'Want to have a match? It's super cool here. Perfect weather for gaming.'

'The weather is hot here,' I texted back.

'Well, it's almost freezing here in Switzerland.'

May joined in on the conversation. 'I'm free. I can have a match or two. But you better prepare yourself since I'm a noob…'

Amy mocked, 'Everyone's a noob here, especially Renee. Look at her. Zero kills and ten deaths. She's the worst player among us.'

I pouted at her remark.

Shawn happened to see the text as well.

Putting on a pitiful face, I said, "She just mocked me."

"Ignore her. She's the worst out of everyone. She can't move as well as you, and she can't play with her team well, not to mention a regular monster in the jungle can easily kill her character. The only thing she does well is stealing her teammates' kills," he remarked.

He actually went that far just to comfort me.

I texted the group using the very same comment. Amy wouldn't dare mock Shawn, so she sent an aggrieved emoji. 'I can't believe you, Shawn. Never seen you pipe up until now. This is a girl talk, you know.'

However, Shawn ignored her. He didn't even log into the chat. Heck, he didn't even scroll through his phone. It had been days since he last charged his phone. I wondered how he could take the boredom.

Emma texted, 'Shawn is just comforting Renee. And Renee is just trying to annoy you.'

Amy protested, 'I am not a noob.'

Emma added, 'But you are the worst player out of us. You need to train yourself.'

Amy went silent after that.

…

I can't believe this. Everyone's mocking me. She put her phone aside and rested her head on the table, looking like a dejected kitten. When Troy came back from his photo shoot, he was met with a sad Amy. He changed his shoes and went inside to pat her head.

"You look upset."

She responded glumly, "They're all laughing at me."

She handed her phone to Troy. He went through the chat history before putting the phone down. Then, he stroked her head like she was his pet. "You're a decent player. I've seen how they play. None of them are better than me."

"Well, they are newbies."

Still sad, huh? He pulled her into his embrace. Gently, he said, "It's alright."

Troy was a bit too gentle, and Amy couldn't help but blush slightly. She clutched onto his shirt and asked, "So, what did you do today? I can't believe your manager would let you go just like that."

"Ad shoot. I have more work tomorrow, but after that, I can stay for a few days." He paused for a

moment before he continued, "Are you going back soon?"

The night before, Troy had heard the mention of Alfred, Christopher, and Shawn while Amy was playing games. He was a celebrity, and they were capitalists. Now, he realized the woman in his embrace was no mere waitress, but he didn't care. He never cared about her identity, even when he first fell in love with her. He frequented that teahouse and stayed there for a whole afternoon just to see her. He liked seeing her going around working like a bee.

He only took this ad job because he heard Amy was in Europe. All this time, he had been trying to get close to her in his own way.

Amy might have been courting him, but he did the same, too. They both had feelings for each other.

"I won't be going back until the end of the year."

Troy stopped asking further questions in case she got unhappy. Then, Amy hugged him. "I'll try my best."

"Take your time. I'm not in a hurry."

She tilted her head to gaze at him. "We can't see each other that much once we go back, huh? Our relationship has to stay a secret, after all."

"We'll go with the flow. Even if we go public, it will be fine." In all honesty, he didn't care all that much. His manager and company might go mad, but he would still go with it. He wouldn't deliberately keep it a secret, or it would be unfair to Amy.

After hearing Troy's words, she quickly said, "You can't let the fans find out. Your career depends on it. This is your best moment. You can't ruin your work just because of me. I don't want to be a burden to you. If I want to be with you, I want you to feel happy, just like how I feel happy around you."

She was an understanding woman, and he patted her head gently as he responded, "We'll just go with the flow. Don't worry about it."

"I bet your fans will kill me. I tainted their idol, after all. And he's even holding me in his arms."

He chuckled at that. Then, Amy remembered something. "Have you kissed anyone before? Oh, I won't get jealous. Just curious. They say that you've given your first on-screen kiss."

The lighting in the room helped in creating a romantic vibe to it. The room had seemingly heated up as the couple stared at each other intensely in the eyes. Had anyone seen the love in their eyes, they would most certainly brim with envy. In response to her question, Troy said, "Yeah. I did it with an actress, but I felt nothing. Wait, I thought you were my fan. How come you don't know about that?"

"I am your fan, but I barely watch your TV dramas. You might not believe me when I say this, but I haven't touched my phone in two years. I'd only seen your movies in the cinema, but I didn't watch all of them." He smells nice. She rubbed her head against his chest. "Can I kiss you?" she suddenly asked.

Troy felt his heart race. He had never had someone asking him such a question before, much less having a romantic experience with anyone. However, he knew this was not the time yet. They were going too fast. He looked at her as he said, "If you want to take advantage of me…" Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"Is that some sort of pickup line?" Amy raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"I don't mind us getting closer."

"Wait, are those your lines in some movie?" asked Amy.

"Yeah. Do you like it?"

She loved how warm and fuzzy he made her feel. Without saying another word, she slid her hands under his shirt, tickling him. Eventually, they both lay on the ground, with Troy pinning her down. She stared into his gleaming eyes. "It's my first time. Be gentle, alright?"

Shocked, he let her go and pulled her up. "I wasn't going to do that."

Amy chuckled. "I thought you would."

"We just started going out, Eve."

Ah, so he cares about that. "I thought you were going to rail me."

He froze upon hearing that. "Stop it, Eve. I wasn't even flirting with you."

He should not have said that.
