My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 30

Christopher had always known my feelings toward him. However, he had maintained a distance from me since I was young.

I put away my phone and went to the window. Maria was still sitting on the ground, looking helpless and vulnerable, as if I had bullied her. It was disgusting to see that.

I took out my phone and reported to the police after some thinking. When the police appeared, Maria was shocked as she couldn't believe I would do this. Fortunately, she was arrested by the two police officers.

After getting rid of her, I took some medicine and fell asleep. At midnight, I received a call from the police to summon me to the station.

The police called me because of Maria's case. At that point, I was lying on the bed holding my phone, feeling utterly agitated.

Finally, I got up and went to the police station.

My head was dizzy, probably because I was soaked in the night's rain. I saw Nicholas when I arrived there in my Porsche.

He was still wearing a black tuxedo and stood at the entrance while smoking a cigarette. When he saw me, he instinctively frowned and said in a cold voice, "Renee, did Maria provoke you?"

I sneered and asked, "Why? Are you going to stand up for her?" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

It was a meaningless question. No matter what trouble Maria caused before, Nicholas would always resolve it for her.

The night after the rain was cold, so I didn't want to talk nonsense with him and tightly held my coat together to walk past him.

However, he silently followed behind me.

After I went in, Maria was excited when she saw Nicholas behind me. She immediately acted pitifully. "Nicholas, I didn't mean to offend her. I just wanted to chat with her, but she called the police to arrest me. She even pushed me to the ground! Look, I have wounds all over my body, and this is all her doing."

I couldn't even see the fingernail marks on Maria’s fair skin if she did not hold out her arm.

I sighed inwardly after seeing her injury.

She really is willing to hurt herself for this.

Nicholas, who was behind me, didn't respond to what Maria said. I was too lazy to watch her act, so I turned around and found the man staring at me.

I frowned and asked, "What are you staring at me for?"

Nicholas didn't answer, but his expression was icy cold.

The policeman next to me explained, "Maria is wrong to break into private property. However, she accused you of hitting her."

So, the reason you summon me is because of this?

But I never even touched her!

She fell to the ground by herself.

I tilted my head and asked, "Anything else?"

The policeman nodded hesitantly. "And she s-said that… you had divorced her man, but you were still pestering him."

Hearing this, I looked at Nicholas with a smile.

"Do I pester you?" I asked.

I never pestered Nicholas.

Even when I was selling the Felix Family and my signature on the divorce paper for a romance with him, I did not bother him. I even generously let him go. After the divorce, I never took the initiative to meet him.

Nicholas pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but he didn't speak in the end. He was quieter than before and said little.

I turned my head and asked the police, "Are these illegal?"

Hearing my question, the policeman was stunned. "It is against the law to hit someone."

I abruptly approached Maria. The rain had washed away her makeup and exposed her pale face, and messed up her hair.

At this moment, she had tears and looked at me with fear. I smiled and asked, "Have I really hit you?"

She looked expectantly at Nicholas, thereafter biting her lip and stayed silent. She tried too hard to act all pitiful. I would pity her with all my heart if I were a man. Too bad I was a woman.

A woman who was offended by her.

I abruptly stretched out my hand and slapped her face hard. She covered her face in astonishment and said, "Are you crazy?!"

Besides Maria, the policeman standing beside me didn't expect me to do this, so they came over and stopped me.

They held my arms and pulled me away from Maria for a distance. I raised my eyebrows and smiled. "Since you said I hit you, I will live up to the name and do the same. Otherwise, how can I face the injustice?"

Maria scolded, "Renee, you're a lunatic!"

The police also tried to soothe my anger. "You're knowingly breaking the law!"

So what if I am knowingly breaking the law?

My head suddenly hurt. A pair of arms pulled me out of the polices’ hold, and Nicholas said in a soft voice, "I will handle this matter. I will give you an explanation later."

I looked up and saw Nicholas right above my head.

The cold and aloof man himself.

I held his arm as he noticed my abnormalities. He asked me with a deep voice, "Renee, are you alright?"

I weakly shook my head, and he suddenly carried me into his arms and left the police station. He walked out of the police station, then went down the steps and got into his car. He lightly patted my face with his palm to reassure me. "Hang in there. I'll take you to the hospital now."

I painfully shook my head and said, "Send me back home."

Nicholas hesitated; it was written all over his handsome face that he disapproved of it. I pulled his sleeve in a daze and explained, "My medicine is at home."

I might have felt unwell due to the rain last night, and I should be fine after going home to take a few pills and rest.

Hearing me say this, he was finally relieved and accepted my proposal.

He started the car and left the place. I weakly leaned into the passenger seat, and my vision was blurry as I looked out of the car window.

After an unknown amount of time, Nicholas called my name.

"Renee."

I responded, "I'm here."

I was mentally tired, so I slowly closed my eyes. I vaguely heard a sad voice, and Nicholas asked me nervously, "Renee, do you really love him?"

I murmured, "Who?"

"Christopher," came the reply.
