Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 66
Gideon thought Irvin's behavior was excessively contradictory. It wasn't just him—everyone else in the private room felt the same.If one said Irvin loved me, he constantly belittled me and asked everyone else to look down on me too. But if one said he didn't love me, anyone who dared say something bad about me would face his wrath.Now, as I was divorcing him, he appeared so tormented. It seemed as if he wouldn't stop until he drank himself into a severe gastric hemorrhage.Irvin remained silent. He didn't know what to say and didn't want to talk about the deepest feelings—the ones even he didn't dare confront—buried in his heart.He refused to speak and continued drinking despite their attempts to stop him. Someone was worried he might drink himself to death, so they secretly called Julianne.Of course, she arrived at the scene quickly.Seeing that Irvin was on the verge of collapsing from drinking, she rushed forward and held his arm with a look of concern on her face. "Irvin,
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 67
Irvin's face had already flushed from drinking in the first place. His cheeks became an alarming red after Julianne splashed the diffuser on him.When she lunged toward him, he instinctively reached out and held her. Every cell in his body burned with heat. They screamed at him to tear off the clothes of the woman in his arms without hesitation.Just as his hands instinctively began to yield to his primal urge, a scent entered his nose. It caused him to gain some clarity at that heated moment.This scent wasn't mine!In the next second, he instinctively pushed away Julianne and threw her off the bed. He wouldn't touch any woman who wasn't me. He knew that I demanded absolute loyalty in a relationship. If he sullied himself, I would never want him again.Even in his muddled state, Irvin knew what I cared about and where my boundaries lay. When he was sober, he knew this all the more. He had always known, yet he took my love for granted and recklessly tested the limits of my boundar

Picking up something one had given up for so long—especially studying—wasn't as easy as simply deciding to do it. To show genuine sincerity and build up my confidence before approaching Mr. Holland, I began an intense study routine after seeing Cordelia off.Since some specialized books were rare and unavailable online, I often spent my time at the city library. I stayed there to study until it closed.After leaving the library, I would cross the street. On the opposite side was a ravioli restaurant. This restaurant had been around for over ten years. The owners, a husband and wife, made fresh ravioli daily. The food there was incredibly delicious. When I was still a student, I loved coming here after visiting the library, especially on cold winter nights.After consuming a plate of steaming hot ravioli, one would feel that life was complete.While waiting at the crosswalk for the light to turn green for pedestrians, my phone started ringing. Just as I reached into my pocket to g

The crying eventually attracted a patrolling police officer. After assessing the situation, the officer sternly reprimanded the two teenagers. He warned them never to play around on the road, especially at crossroads because it was far too dangerous.The two teenagers nodded repeatedly as they were scolded, cowering in guilt.Although it had been a very precarious situation, I didn't exactly get hurt. So, it was deemed an accident. Since the two teenagers were still minors, the matter was considered resolved after the police officer's lecture.…My nerves and emotions finally settled when I arrived at the ravioli restaurant and ate a huge plate of steaming hot ravioli. Thinking about how I had nearly missed out on this comforting meal, I couldn't help but sigh. I felt I should make time to attend church and pray soon. This year had been unbelievably unlucky for me. My misfortune had nearly cost me my life on multiple occasions.From falling off a cliff and barely surviving on ja

I was speechless.Cordelia went on, "That scumbag kept swearing that nothing was going on between him and Julianne. But before you've even gotten the divorce certificate, he's already rushing to get a hotel room with her. How shameless of him! "Since you two aren't officially divorced yet, doesn't this count as being in an extramarital affair? Fight for it and leave him with nothing to his name after you divorce him!"I chuckled after hearing Cordelia's rant. I could understand why she was so fired up about seeing the news of Irvin and Julianne going to a hotel. However, forcing him to leave with nothing to his name was nearly impossible, so I didn't bother entertaining the thought.After hearing that it would be difficult to strip Irvin of his assets, Cordelia snorted in disdain. We chatted about a few other things before ending the call.The moment we hung up, I leaned against the headboard and opened a news site. I cocked an eyebrow upon seeing the headlines plastered with sto
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 71
To Irvin's horror, I truly seemed to not care about this at all.I used to feel so hurt and agonized whenever I saw him get a little closer to Julianne.How could I be like this now? How could I treat him this way and not care?Just as I was about to tell Irvin to leave if he had nothing else to say, a thought crossed my mind.I said, "I saw online news claiming that you cheated during our marriage. It's probably a move by your competitors. You should handle the PR immediately, or the damage could be severe."While I was glad he and Julianne were together, I didn't want to suffer financial losses because of their affair. Irvin was a married man. So, his being caught publicly with another woman in a hotel could cause the company's stock to plummet. Tens of billions of dollars could easily vanish with a poof just like that.Tens of billions!Scientific research required a lot of funds, so I needed to safeguard the assets I was entitled to.After thinking for a moment, I added,
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 72
And then there was that last time when I'd told Irvin that I'd truly forgotten some things.That moment felt like a glimmer of hope to him. He took a large step forward and firmly grasped my shoulders again. "Emi, you lost your memory, didn't you?"Irvin gathered that I must have lost my memory. That was why I'd forgotten him, my husband whom I'd loved the most. That would explain why I was so determined to divorce him. That was why I didn't care about him and Julianne getting a room together—the only thing I was concerned with was clearing his name.I frowned, unsure why he was suddenly asking this question. He'd previously refused to believe me when I said I had amnesia. But then, he now seemed to desperately hope I would confirm it.I didn't want to know either. I only wanted our divorce proceedings to go as smoothly as possible.So, I said to him, "I didn't lose my memory. I just wanted to cause a scene to see if you'd care about me more previously. The answer I got was that y
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 73
But why would Irvin not want to get involved with Julianne?He adored her so much and showered her with unbridled affection. He'd chosen her over me every single time, and he was even willing to sacrifice my life for hers. He gave her everything and did things only lovers would do for her.If that didn't count as love or a desire to be together, then what did?As I struggled to make sense of it all, I received a report from an investigation agency abroad. It detailed Julianne's colorful life over the years.When I saw what she'd done in the earlier years, my eyes widened in shock. What came into view was simply too outrageous!After reading the report, I finally understood why Irvin could pamper and love Julianne so much yet refuse to touch her. Why, despite everyone wishing them well, he could never truly be with her.It also explained why Julianne would forever be Irvin's unattainable first love. This was the textbook definition of being deeply in love with someone but unable t

William wasn't the type to repay a life-saving favor. So, for the past two years, Julianne had always wondered why he treated her so well and was especially attentive to her health.It was only after she returned to Claudeville that she finally understood.It turned out William had a sickly niece he cherished dearly—one whose survival depended on Julianne. Upon learning this, she suddenly felt she had the upper hand again.While she still couldn't figure William out entirely, she had come to understand him somewhat. She knew he would continue to tolerate her—for the sake of his sickly niece—as long as she didn't do anything out of line.To be clear, Julianne made my life difficult because she hated me. But as long as she didn't harm me, she knew no one would hold it against her. After all, William's niece needed her blood to live.The more she thought about this, the more pleased she became.I could see it plainly in her eyes. Her expression seemed to say that even after all thes

Seeing how determined I was, Emma didn't press any further.Just as we were about to leave in the car, another car pulled up beside ours. When I saw who stepped out of it, my eyes widened in shock.Emma saw them too and tugged at my sleeve in surprise. "Emilia, isn't that your ex-husband's brother and sister-in-law?"I was just about to say yes when Grace suddenly collapsed into Irvin's arms. He picked her up and rushed toward the hospital.Seeing this reminded me of how I had wished that Irvin would come and save me when I was drowning.I chuckled mockingly.Noticing something was off with me, Emma turned to me. "Emilia, what's wrong?"I withdrew my gaze. "Nothing."Then I told the driver to start driving.As the car drove out of the hospital, Emma stared at me. She hesitated at first, but then curiosity got the better of her "Emilia, looking at how you reacted to your ex-husband's brother… Is it true that he's actually not Timothy, but Irvin?" she asked.She had been with

Only after our car had driven far into the distance did William finally withdraw his gaze from Noah's car."Was Ms. Quill's assistant rescued?" he asked.Matthew immediately replied, "Yes, she's been taken to the hospital. She's out of danger."William hummed indifferently in response, then got into the car and left.…By the time I woke up in the hospital, night had already fallen.I was surprised to see Noah sitting at my bedside—surprised that I was still alive and that it was Noah who had come to save me.Seeing me awake, Noah stood up excitedly. "Emi, how are you feeling? I'll get the doctor!"I wanted to tell him I was fine, but my voice came out hoarse when I opened my mouth.Suddenly, I remembered something and quickly reached out to grab Noah before he could leave to call the doctor.Before I could even ask, he already knew what I was going to ask. "Your assistant's fine. She woke up even earlier than you," he said. Hearing that, I breathed a sigh of relief.Noah

Emma was also quite smart. Once she calmed down, she immediately understood what I meant. She wanted to say something, but I had already opened the car door and pushed her out.Seeing several people swimming toward us, I shoved her again, urging her to leave quickly.In the face of life and death, survival would become an instinct for everyone. So even though she didn't wish me harm or want to leave me behind, she swam away with tears in her eyes. Not long after she left, those so-called "rescuers" surrounded me.When they noticed someone had swum away, they exchanged hand signals underwater, planning to send some after her and others to capture me. Realizing this, I quickly pointed at myself, trying to tell them that I was the one they were looking for. Then I turned and swam in the opposite direction, hoping to lure them away and buy her more time to escape. But even though they understood my gesture, they didn't believe me. They still sent people after her.They were very

There was only one road from the airport to the city, and William's car was right behind ours.Matthew, who was driving, immediately sensed something was wrong when he saw our car suddenly accelerating at an alarming speed.He quickly said, "Mr. Ashford, something's wrong with Ms. Quill's car!"William, who was busy reading the documents, immediately looked up. His gaze darkened when he saw how recklessly the car in front was moving."Catch up with them!" he ordered. At that moment, his phone rang. It was Noah calling, and he sounded anxious on the other end. "Uncle Will, are you with Emi right now? I just heard that Madeleine is planning to kill her! "I don't know the exact plan, but I heard they're making a move on the way from the airport to the city. You need to be careful! I'm heading to the airport right now!"Noah's words made William's expression grow even darker. …While Emma was still processing the situation, I noticed something strange about the driver. If the

Just like that, we came back alive from the brink of death in an instant. It felt like we were in hell one moment and in heaven the next.Perhaps I was still too scared. So scared that even after the plane had stabilized for a while, I still couldn't find any strength in my body. I was still shaken by the fear and couldn't fully snap out of it.William was also holding me tightly the entire time, not letting go. The softness of my body in his arms stirred something in him that he couldn't describe. He instinctively didn't want to let go.It wasn't until a flight attendant knocked on the door to check on us that I finally returned to my senses.William also let go of me instantly. The sudden emptiness in his arms left him feeling rather hollow.He came to realize something, and his already deep gaze darkened even more, making it even harder to read.After the flight attendant tidied up the cabin and left, William, who had been perfectly fine and warm just moments ago, suddenly tur
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 365
The flight attendant knocked on the entrance to the suite to signal her arrival and served our meal. Then, she left swiftly.William and I were eating and discussing our AI chip factory when his face suddenly turned red. He couldn't say a word.The moment I saw that, I immediately realized what was happening and rushed over to him.I moved behind him, wrapped my arms around his abdomen, and clenched my fists. With my palm facing upward, I tightened my arms and pressed my left fist forcefully into his upper abdomen again and again, until he finally spat out the seed of a fruit.He had accidentally swallowed the seed while eating dried fruit, and it had gotten stuck in his throat.William stared at the seed he'd just coughed up, looking flustered. A man like him, who was so strong and composed, had choked while eating. He couldn't believe it had actually happened.Especially in front of me!William, who was usually composed no matter the circumstances, now had a face flushed wit

William handed me a glass of champagne and said, "I heard Grace gave you a hard time again at the airport lounge."I hummed in response, confirming it. At the mention of Grace, a thought struck me, and I turned to him. "Mr. Ashford, many of your company's products seem to compete directly with the Hardwells'."Although most of my focus had been on research, I did know a little about the business world. After all, I had a company myself. "Yes, why?" William raised an eyebrow at me."If you're planning to enter the mainland market, wouldn't the Hardwells be your biggest competitor?" I asked.Upon hearing that, William's dark eyes lit up with interest. "Are you trying to join forces with me against the Hardwells?"I knew that I couldn't hide my intentions from someone like William, so I answered honestly, "I'm just thinking ahead. I wanted to see if you had similar plans. If so, maybe we could work together in the future."Going against the Hardwells alone was definitely impossi

At the same time, the same video was also delivered to Noah's grandfather, Mr. Hull Senior."This is the woman Noah's interested in? He refused a marriage alliance with Ms. Charter because of her?" Mr. Hull Senior questioned incredulously.His butler, who had been by his side for decades, lowered his head respectfully and answered, "Yes."Mr. Hull Senior scoffed. "What kind of judgment does he have? It's no wonder he doesn't measure up to his uncle."Noah might be excellent, but at his age, William had already built up the Ashfords into the wealthiest family in Redwood. In terms of cunning or any other aspect, he was still far behind William.The loyal butler remained silent as he respectfully stood off to the side."If anyone else was still left in this family, I'd never even consider passing it to Noah!" Mr. Hull Senior exclaimed, pounding his cane hard against the floor.The Hulls had built their fortune from casinos. Their business had shady beginnings, which meant they also
