Semua Bab Love You Like I Used To? Forget It!: Bab 391 - Bab 400

I knew I was being impulsive, but sometimes in life, one needed to act on impulse. Otherwise, we would be stuck in the muck forever and unable to pull ourselves out.Gideon kept glancing at me after we got in the car. After hesitating for a while, he finally couldn't hold it in and asked, "Are you sure you want to get married, Emi?"He regretted his words the moment they left his mouth. He was annoyed at himself for saying something that might make me change my mind about marrying him.Gideon knew this was his only chance to make his dream of being with me come true. He had been pining after me from afar for ten years—a whole decade.Finally, he had the rare opportunity to make his dream a reality. Yet, he still asked such a question. He really wanted to kick himself.Seeing how frustrated he was with himself only made me feel more strongly that he was a good man. Even though he was afraid I would change my mind, he still asked if I was sure of my decision.Gideon was concerned I

While Gideon's parents and I had gotten along well before, back then, I didn't have a real connection with them.We merely had a business relationship, and people were naturally polite and cordial to their business partners. But if this partner were to become part of their family? It would be a different story.Gideon was an only child from a very well-off family, after all. Plus, this would be his first marriage. I, on the other hand, was a divorcée. So, the fact that his parents were so kind to me only made me feel even more certain that marrying him was the right choice.Our family backgrounds were comparable, and our financial situations were on par. Gideon and I also had similar lifestyles and habits, and we had known each other for years. All this merely reinforced my decision and kept my mind from wandering.Now, all we had to do was wait until City Hall opened on Monday so we could register our marriage.I told Cordelia about this plan. Compared to me marrying some random

I only saw Gideon as a friend, so I wasn't very emotionally hurt by the fact that he was looking for another woman. After all, I didn't love him.I just…I just didn't know how to describe what I was feeling right now.Maybe I was just bad at judging people.Before this, I trusted Shaun so much. I saw him as my confidant and believed he was a good man.But he had an ulterior motive behind his kindness. He didn't hesitate to stab me in the back.Now, I had thought Gideon was a decent man and that marrying him would give me the simple and fulfilling life I wanted. But he turned out to be someone completely different from what I imagined. I didn't mean that he couldn't be with another woman or anything like that. This would be my second marriage, so it was normal for him to have had previous relationships. I wouldn't care about that at all if he hadn't claimed to love me and if our marriage had simply been transactional.But now that we're getting married the next day, and afte

Even though I had already expected him to come up with an excuse not to show up, I still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when I actually heard his response. When I decided to trust someone, I tended to do so wholeheartedly. After the time we spent together over the past two years, I genuinely saw him as a friend and a good person.But now…For a moment, I couldn't help but feel confused, unsure of how to trust others anymore.I no longer knew what was real and what was fake in this world. I didn't understand how someone who once seemed so kind could turn out like this.I stayed silent for a long time.Just as Gideon was about to say that he could come over if I really wanted him to, I spoke calmly, without any hint of anger. "Alright. You should do your work first, it's more important. Call me when you're done."Upon hearing this, he let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, wait for me. I'll be there as soon as I'm done here!"I hummed in response before hanging up the cal

I didn't say a word as I opened the photos William had sent me yesterday and showed them to Gideon.The moment he saw the photos, the color drained from his face. He was smart enough to understand everything without me needing to explain.The more he realized, the paler he became. His body even began to tremble uncontrollably.After struggling for a moment, he looked up at me. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but no words came out, as if he had lost all strength and means to speak. He knew me well. He knew that once I found out, I would never marry him.But he couldn't accept it. He was so close to getting what he had always wanted, only to lose it like this.So he forced himself to calm down and looked at me seriously. "Emi, I know I shouldn't have done something like that before our marriage. But I did it for our future. "I wanted to fully devote myself to loving you. I wanted us to start our marriage on equal footing, so I made that mistake deliberately."He wasn
