Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 211 - チャプター 220

"Irvin, I wasn't trying to accuse Millie," Julianne began. "I just… I just guessed that it was her from the signs…"Before she could finish her sentence, Irvin snapped angrily, "Enough, Julianne! I trust you like family, not for you to treat me as a fool!"They had grown up together, raised by the same mother. He had truly seen her as his sister. Yet she…"Irvin, I really…" Julianne tried to explain.But Irvin didn't want to hear another word from her. He had someone drag her out.I had clearly told him that I was innocent, the sufferings I had endured, and how many times Julianne had deceived him over the years.I also let him know that the reason Julianne had slandered me and manipulated our relationship wasn't solely because she misunderstood and thought I had drugged her.I had never wished her harm. It was she who couldn't stand seeing me happy.Even so, despite knowing everything, Irvin still didn't doubt what had happened back then because they had grown up together. He

Irvin stood there, watching me turn and leave without hesitation. He watched me get into the car and drive away until I was completely out of sight. His heart suddenly felt like it had a hole in it, allowing the wind and snow to rush in. He staggered, almost unable to stand properly.Although he would never allow what he feared to happen, my determination terrified him. He was afraid that after this separation, there would be no more chances between us.He was truly scared of that happening.Snowflakes landed softly on his face.Looking at the snow, he suddenly recalled the Christmas Eve before Julianne returned from abroad. That night, the snowfall was just as heavy as it was now. Since I had always loved the snow, a white Christmas was absolutely perfect. It was so romantic.I insisted on walking to the restaurant to enjoy the scenery along the way. As always, he listened to me and happily held my hand as we walked to the restaurant. The snow was falling heavily. Soon, our

Irvin had always firmly believed that I was faking my injuries and making a scene. Aside from Travis and my parents telling him I was fine, the main reason was that he thought I had made up the entire kidnapping case just to compete with Julianne for his attention. So, when the kidnappers forced him to choose between us, he picked Julianne without hesitation. After I fell off the cliff, he assumed it was all part of my plan and didn't worry about me at all.Even when he went to the hospital to make me apologize to Julianne and saw how badly I was hurt, he still thought I was faking it. And even if I really was injured, he believed I had brought it upon myself.After all, in his mind, I was the one who had planned it.After realizing that I had truly been seriously injured, he finally understood that the kidnapping wasn't something I had planned.He regretted it so much that the thought overwhelmed him, making it unbearable. Still, he never once suspected that Julianne was the

Even though my heart had been tampered with countless times, Mom's words still stung a little.She actually said she would cut ties with me. She actually went that far for Julianne.Why? Why was she willing to go to such lengths for an adopted daughter?At first, she didn't even like Julianne. Maybe, over time, she grew to like her more because of her misunderstandings about me, thinking that I was cruel and heartless.But after she learned the truth and realized I didn't do those things, why didn't she feel guilty for misunderstanding me? Why did she continue to treat me this way?Even when there was proof that Julianne was evil and not as nice as she had believed, not only did she not dislike Julianne, but she still tried to do things for her.Why?Why did she still love Julianne so much?Even after being hurt by her so many times, I still couldn't bring myself to cut ties with Mom. And yet, she could. How could she do this?I was overwhelmed with pain and endless spirals of

As Julianne saw that Irvin showed signs of wavering, she cried even harder. "Irvin, I didn't! I didn't mean to kill her! I just wanted to make her angry. It was really an accident that she fell off the cliff and got so badly hurt."She continued, "If I really wanted to kill her, I would have let them do it when they kidnapped her. Why would I wait until you arrived? "And you know that cliff isn't even that high. Why would I choose such a short one if I wanted her dead? I really, really didn't mean for her to die. That was just an accident…"Julianne sobbed pitifully. It was such a heartbreaking sight that even the coldest person would feel sorry for her. Let alone Irvin, who had pampered her so much that it had become a natural instinct to him.Moreover, deep down, he had always believed that she wasn't truly evil. And so, he believed her. He believed that Julianne never intended to kill me.That she didn't do those things out of malice but because she was mentally unstable, beli
