Semua Bab Love You Like I Used To? Forget It!: Bab 381 - Bab 390

Julianne knew how terrible her fate would be once she was no longer of use to William.So, despite her reluctance, she admitted, "I know. So, don't worry. Even if I do speak of Emilia again, it won't be in a bad way."She sounded sincere, even though she would love nothing more than to destroy me. But to her, survival came first. She was living a good life right now and didn't want to ruin it because of me.Irvin could tell she truly understood, so he didn't lecture her further.He was about to go upstairs to look for me. But then, an important issue arose in Hardwell Group. He urgently needed to return to deal with it. So, Irvin could only text me and hoped I would forgive him.In his text, he explained that he felt indebted to Diana for raising him. So, he could never bring himself to personally send her only daughter to her doom.I didn't even read his text, let alone reply. I didn't want to be disappointed or hurt by him anymore. So, after he left, I focused on exchanging ide

I really wanted to remarry and have a child as soon as possible. That being said, I still needed to choose a partner carefully. My child deserved good genes, and I wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.Ideally, I was looking for someone highly intelligent, good-looking, and had decent character. I also wanted him to be career-oriented. Additionally, I wanted our marriage to be more like we just lived together and had a mutually beneficial relationship. To put it simply, it would be a marriage of convenience.However, finding the right person for this wasn't easy. Even after several days of searching, I still hadn't found a suitable candidate.Coincidentally, Cordelia was back again on a break.A thought occurred to me, so I asked her, "Do you know any single archaeologists with high IQs and a Ph.D? If so, do any of them think marriage is a hassle and don't want to live a traditional married life, but still have to get married for some reason?"Cordelia leaned back a

"I know how deeply committed you are to your research, Emi," Gideon said. "And once you dive into your work, you can be preoccupied for days at a time. "Are you sure you want to marry a man you have no emotional connection with? Can you really feel at ease about leaving your child under his care? Would he even want to raise the child?"But marrying me will be different. You know my character, and you've met my parents. So, you know what kind of people they are. Plus, we're also on equal footing financially. "And while I can't guarantee everything right now, at the very least, I will genuinely care for our child. And I'm definitely not someone who'd kill you just to take your assets."Then, taking a deep breath, he added, "Stop thinking it wouldn't be fair of you to marry me just because you can't return my feelings. Being with you—even if you don't love me—is still so much better than having no chance at all and regretting it for the rest of my life!"And I don't feel wronged at

Grace and her closest aide knew how ruthless William was. And if he ever found out she had taken the credit from his real savior, the consequences would be disastrous. Not only would they lose the benefits William had been giving them, but he might even kill them for it.His upbringing was vastly different from those who were born into prestigious families. After losing the protection of his brother and sister-in-law at a young age, William had to rely solely on his fierce resolve to fight his way through a den of vipers.So, not only was he not a good person, but he was ruthless and utterly cold-hearted. Anyone he regarded as an enemy had never met a good end.In that moment, Grace and her aide silently prayed William hadn't heard what they'd just said. Unfortunately, judging from the frosty air he was emanating, he had.Grace's aide finally snapped out of his shock and turned to her with a look of terror. When Grace met his gaze, she was so furious that she practically wanted to

I had decided to give Irvin one last chance when we were in Falveria. If he had said this to me with equal conviction back then, we would probably be at home right now, happily wrapped up in each other's arms.However, he hadn't. Every time I had given him another chance, he had squandered it. Yet, he always came back begging for another. How many chances was I supposed to give him?Irvin mistook my silence as a sign that I was caving. So, with a pitiful expression, he held my arms and said, "I really know I'm wrong this time, babe. And I can truly make it right! So, believe me—just this once. Please believe me. Just one last time, okay?"I studied him again. I took in the apologetic look on his face and the way he was childishly whining. I took in how he was looking at me with the same expression I always couldn't resist.I still felt like caving into his demands, except I could control that urge now. So, I stared at Irvin with a gaze that was colder than the dead of winter."I
