Semua Bab After Losing My Memory, I Divorced the Regretful CEO: Bab 221 - Bab 230

Was I really that desperate?I scolded myself inwardly, then smiled sweetly at Miles. “Miles, you should sleep now. I won’t bother you anymore, I promise.”He gave me a long look before finally closing his eyes and falling back into deep sleep.My mind wandered endlessly, I wasn’t even sure what I was thinking about.His steady breathing beside me, the warmth radiating from his body... my so-called virtue was being tested like never before.I felt so conflicted.And just like that, lost in thought and frustration, I drifted off to sleep without even realizing it.What I didn’t know was that after I fell asleep, Miles slowly opened his eyes.He quietly reached over and pulled me into his arms, holding me gently. Only then did he finally fall asleep in peace....I didn’t wake up until noon.Surprisingly, I had slept straight through the night.After freshening up, Mary brought in a table full of delicious food.She fussed with lingering worry. "Miss White, you really gave me a scare. D

Pierse straightened up, trying to sound upbeat. "It’s okay. My brother’s the one who messed up, not you."He forced a light laugh. "You’ll always be my sister-in-law, and he’ll always be my brother. Doesn’t change anything for me."Then I suddenly remembered something. "That great-grandfather you mentioned..."Pierse scratched his head. "Yeah, he said he’ll reach out when he has time. Can I give him your number?"I froze. "Wait, you didn’t give him my number already?"Pierse replied with righteous conviction, "How could I just hand out a girl’s number like that? “Besides, I didn’t know if he was going to say something awful to you. What if he called just to chew you out on my brother’s behalf?"What if he pretended he could help get your money back but was actually trying to scam you again?"I was speechless and didn’t know how to react.“You... actually make a lot of sense. How about this—why don’t we call him now, while we’re eating?"Pierse nodded.So, I took him to his favorite st

He shrank behind me, shoulders curled inward.A pang of sympathy rose in my chest. I took his hand and held it, then looked straight at Abby. “Mrs. Moore, he’s just a kid. Can’t you give him a little dignity? Don’t talk to him like that. Pierse is a good boy.”Abby let out a mocking laugh, her tone dripping with disdain. “Well, aren’t you just the caring one, Evelyn. First you insisted on marrying my son, now you can’t wait to divorce him. Tsk, I heard you’ve already found someone new? Figures...”The two women beside her immediately turned to me with sneering looks, whispering to each other with smug expressions. Their eyes were sharp as blades, and their judgment cut through me like a chill in the air.Pierse opened his mouth, clearly about to launch another verbal grenade at his mother, but I quickly stopped him.Trying to keep my temper in check, I said calmly, “Mrs. Moore, this is a public place. Making a scene won’t reflect well on anyone.”She scoffed coldly. “Worried about a

Miles sat at the dining table, watching Pierse stomp around with an amused smile.I could only say to Pierse, “This place belongs to him.”Pierse fell silent.Fuming, he stormed into the guest room and started messing with his things.Hearing all the banging and rustling inside, I gave Miles an apologetic smile. “He’s just a kid. He’s only staying for a day before heading back to school. Don’t take it personally.”Miles chuckled. “I didn’t expect the Moore family to have such an entertaining little guy. Still, he’s a lot better than my brother.”I let out an awkward laugh. “Can’t be helped... wait, your brother?”He gave a brief nod. “Trey was way more rebellious than him when he was younger. Still causing trouble even now.”I asked what kind of trouble.Miles replied casually, “Women,” and didn’t say anything more.Just then, Pierse came out with a scowl. “Eve, I don’t get this question.”I glanced at it. The page was packed with dense foreign text.My brain started to spin again.“I

“Julian, did you really mean it?”“I did.”“Swear it!”“I swear, if I ever let you down, I’ll…”“Swallow ten thousand needles.”“What?”My voice was more serious than ever. “Those who betray true love must swallow ten thousand needles. So, Julian, you can’t ever let me down…”“You can’t let me down, okay…”...A sharp pain throbbed in my head, and I instinctively held my forehead.Julian noticed something was off and couldn’t help but speak. “Evelyn, stop acting like some pitiful victim. You know I can’t come up with that much money right now…”Fighting through the pain, I stared at him and spoke slowly, word by word, “Those who betray true love must swallow ten thousand needles…”Julian froze. “What?”I let out a bitter smile. “You swore, remember? If you betrayed my love, you'd swallow ten thousand needles.”He had no response.I turned to James. “I’m not feeling well. You handle the rest.”Without waiting for anyone to speak, I stood up and walked out of the room.My vision blurred,
