My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 732

Chapter 732 Who Is Zeke?

"I wasn't by Mike's side before, but I was sent here by Owen after Shawn was captured. Owen didn't want to send me here because he suspected that I still served Shawn in secret. However, dealing with Mike was difficult, and coincidentally, I knew him before. So, Owen eventually assigned me to be by Mike's side to handle things. However, he was cautious and never told me the exact whereabouts of Shawn. I only found out about it today, and I don't even know the exact location of the warehouse. Shawn was lucky to be able to escape after being captured for so many days, thanks to the tracking system in the watch that you threw. After escaping, Shawn chose to deal with Adrian and Marcelo first. Owen is already useless, not to be feared."

"You said your task is to monitor Mike's condition. I don't quite understand, and I'm not clear about your role either."

Andrew patiently explained, "As I mentioned earlier, this was Shawn's arrangement. He knew that news of his disappearance would reach you before he was captured. He knew you well and understood that no matter how much he had warned you before, it would be futile because you were willing to take risks to find out his whereabouts. Shawn said the only place you could get information was from Daniel. He didn't know what information Daniel would provide, but he had a feeling that you would get closer to Mike. It seemed easier for you to investigate Mike's whereabouts than other avenues. Thinking this way, Shawn instructed me to find a way to get close to Mike after he was captured, and my only task was to protect your safety."

Shawn planned every step meticulously, and he didn't make any mistakes.

He even foresaw that I would come to Mike's side!

This man was truly formidable!

Such a formidable man must not be my enemy!

Luckily, he is my man!

Someone who loves me wholeheartedly as his wife!

After explaining, Andrew sighed, "Owen has never trusted me, so I spent a lot of effort to get close to Mike. Fortunately, I arrived before you, but now it seems that my identity is about to be exposed."

"Don't worry. Let me think about how to honestly reveal my identity to Ezekiel. The only option now is to be straightforward."

"Alright, I'll follow your instructions."

I asked him, "Since finding Ezekiel's whereabouts isn't that difficult, why did Shawn take the risk of getting captured?"

"It was mainly to find out more about Adrian because he's manipulating everything behind the scenes. He intends to exploit Mike's destructive personality for some purpose. Recently, even though no one wants to witness these events, Mike has engaged in actions that intimidate them. While the world's situation hasn't changed, Mike has begun to encroach upon Alfred's territory. Naturally, Alfred won't allow him to succeed so easily. This has led to a four-sided confrontation, and the situation is not optimistic. However, since Mike has chosen to come here, a place with no internet and no communication with the outside world, it is evident that he intends to halt his encroachment."

A four-sided confrontation...

Shawn.

Alfred.

Ezekiel.

Adrian and Marcelo.

These are the four parties involved.

But who would be the one to strike the final blow?

I asked in confusion, "Why did he stop?"

"I don't know. Perhaps it's because of you. Since you appeared by Mike's side, he didn't seem as agitated as before."

Because of me?

Is it because of my name, Ree?

"Mrs. Xenos, Shawn... I should better refer to him as Mr. Xenos, as before," Andrew continued, "Adrian himself brought Mr. Xenos to Novaria, his territory. Adrian was inviting trouble! Although Mr. Xenos has limited resources in Novaria, the Hayeses are here. They are the most significant force that Mr. Xenos can rely on, and they won't reject him. So, Mrs. Xenos, you don't need to worry. Just give Mr. Xenos a few days, and he will finish dealing with Adrian. Then, there will only be Alfred and Mike left. These people and matters can wait. After dealing with Adrian, Mr. Xenos will come to you personally, but it will take some time. After all, Mike doesn't want anyone to find him, and we're not in Novaria. It's like finding a needle in a haystack."

I shook my head. "It's okay."

As long as Shawn is safe, I'm fine with anything.

"Mrs. Xenos, I suspect that Mike already knows your identity because just now, you called him Zeke. This title means a lot to him. As I mentioned earlier, he just sent someone to check the surveillance camera footage to further confirm your identity."

"How does he know that I have interacted with Shawn?"

No, I'm sure that he didn't know. So, why did he think that checking the surveillance cameras could reveal my relationship with Shawn?!

Upon hearing this, Andrew smiled. "You underestimated Mike. Even if you didn't interact with Mr. Xenos during the day, he can still observe the emotions between you two through your expressions and your feelings toward Mr. Xenos. Besides, he is not stupid; he has always been a smart man. If you are indeed the person he thinks you are, he knows that in places he can't see, you will exchange glances with Mr. Xenos, and this is what he wants. Obviously, his speculation is correct, as not only did you exchange glances, but you also kissed." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

"..."

So, my exposure was only a matter of time.

Andrew continued, "It was Mike who carried you back to your room just now. He used to despise you, but after he heard you calling him Zeke, he..."

No wonder I felt like someone else was holding me.

Footsteps sounded outside, and Andrew quickly turned around. The door of the room was pushed open, and Ezekiel came in. He had changed into a dark green hoodie. He held a tray in his hand, and when he saw Andrew in the room, he frowned and said, "Get out and wait for me outside."

His temper was unusually irritable.

I called out softly, "Mr. Hastings."

Ezekiel placed the tray he was holding by the bedside. There was a bowl of plain porridge and a cup of milk.

He ordered, "Have some porridge."

I casually asked him, "Mr. Hastings, did you make this?"

Ezekiel lowered his eyes. "Have a taste."

His cheeks seemed to blush slightly.

I picked up the bowl and took a sip of the white porridge. Oh my, it was so salty. He must have added a lot of salt to it. I couldn't help but spit it back into the bowl. Ezekiel saw it and asked with a gloomy expression, "Does it taste bad?"

I coughed and asked, "Did you make this, Mr. Hastings?"

He shifted the blame. "Robina taught me."

So, it was Ezekiel himself who cooked it!

Wait, Robina is here too?!

I suddenly remembered the last time Ezekiel messed up the kitchen and cut his finger, he said he had never done those things before. This bowl of excessively salty plain porridge must be the first dish he had ever made. So, I couldn't dampen his enthusiasm. But it was inedibly salty that I couldn't find any words to praise it.

It's okay, it's the thought that counts.

Moreover, he had been keeping his distance from me before. Just now, he even had Andrew carry me out of the car. It was only after he heard me call him Zeke that he held me and even cooked for me.

"It's delicious, but it's just too hot."

He looked at me expectantly. "Really?"

"Yes, I'll eat it when it cools down."

Zeke smiled with satisfaction, his eyes full of joy as he stared at me for a long time before asking, "Who is Zeke?"
