Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 158
But I quickly noticed it.And the bodyguards I had hired with a high price noticed it even sooner.They told me about it through their Bluetooth earpieces, informing me that these people had been following me since I left home. They were certain that these people were intending to harm me.I raised an eyebrow. I knew Julianne wouldn't just sit back and do nothing after what I had done to her. I had forced her into the corner not just to divorce Irvin but also to push her into making a move against me.Since it was too difficult to track down Travis, I decided to wait for her second attempt. She had to pay for what she had done!She wanted me dead, so if I continued to pressure and humiliate her, she would only be more determined to kill me.She would think of every possible method and make a move against me. Sure enough, she was coming for me again.I pulled my phone out, pretending to look at it, while using the camera to scan my surroundings. There was more than one person who

I was actually wrong.It hadn't been over a decade. The difficult time I endured after my severe injury made it feel like many years had passed. But if I really thought about it, it had only been about eight years since he returned to his family in high school. "It's me," he said.This ridiculously good-looking guy seemed completely unaware of how dashing he was or how fatal his smile could be. He smiled innocently at me. Seeing his smile, I couldn't help but sigh. He had really changed so much.I remembered when he used to be short and chubby because he had a big appetite. He was also going through puberty back then, so his face was often riddled with acne. The only thing that still looked the same as before was his eyes. And since he was wearing sunglasses earlier, it was normal for me not to recognize him.I used to be quite close with Noah because I had spent most of my time at Cordelia's place during my three years of high school. In a way, I had watched him grow up.Bu

In the parking lot, just as I was about to get into the driver's seat, Noah stepped forward after placing his suitcase. "Let me drive, Emi," he said.I raised an eyebrow and teased him. "Why? Do you not trust my driving skills just because I'm a woman?"Noah chuckled. "Of course not. I've just never driven such a nice car before. I wanted to give it a try."Knowing how much guys love cars, I smiled and walked to the passenger seat.After I got into the car, I received a call from the head bodyguard, saying that everything had been taken care of.I replied, "Please be careful, everyone."This wasn't the car that I drove here. Right now, my bodyguards were using the car I originally drove to lure the people who had been following me. They wanted to catch the people once they made their move. Even though my team was highly professional, I still hoped they would be extra careful and prioritize their safety.After I hung up, Noah glanced at me. "Emi, why did you say be careful? D

It was likely this money belonged to Irvin. He had probably transferred it from his account to the one linked to the card. And considering that his money was now mine, there wasn't much point in accepting it.As though guessing what I was thinking, Irvin quickly said, "I'm not helping Julianne pay you back. This money really is hers!"Julianne shot me a murderous look as soon as he finished speaking. Judging from her reaction, it appeared this money truly was her own.I raised an eyebrow in surprise. She was so money-minded. So, I was genuinely surprised she had willingly forked out what she owed me.Before Irvin could say anything else, Julianne abruptly changed the topic. Pointing at Noah, she asked, "Who's that man next to you, Millie? Is he the reason you're so insistent on divorcing Irvin?"She was implying that I was cheating on Irvin. It wasn't surprising. She had always been good at shifting blame onto others.Irvin's actions were why our relationship had reached this poi

I instinctively shielded Noah from Irvin's hostile glare, worried Irvin might try to harm him.Noah had changed a lot since I last saw him. He was no longer the timid, socially anxious boy I remembered. Even so, he was still my little brother in a way. I couldn't allow him to get hurt when he was supposed to be under my care.Irvin was visibly upset when he saw how protective I was of Noah.For years, I had firmly stood by his side, no matter what happened. He had never imagined that one day, I would stand against him—and to protect another man, no less."Emilia, you—" He started to speak but abruptly stopped.His immediate reaction was to get angry, but then he realized he was in the wrong.So, instead, he softened his tone. "I'm not going to do anything to him, Emi.""If that's the case, enjoy your meal. We'll be having ours," I replied curtly.Then, I led Noah over to the private room I had reserved.Mark had advised me to ease the tension between Irvin and me. Once I did,

Julianne wanted Irvin to stand up for her. She wanted him to deal with us on her behalf.In the past, Irvin would have undoubtedly scolded me. If I had upset her, he would have punished me without hesitation. If things were the same as before, he would likely react the same way now. But they weren't.First of all, he was trying to win me back. So, he wouldn't dare treat me like he used to.Secondly, some things fell apart when under scrutiny.Irvin wasn't a fool. Despite everything, he was still as sharp as a tack. Now, he no longer blindly believed everything Julianne said. Once he actually thought about it, he was able to see things clearly.The things I said had stirred conflicting emotions in him. His eyes reflected his complicated feelings as he gazed at Julianne. Hence, he didn't scold or deal with me on her behalf. Instead, he immediately pulled her away from the scene.Irvin was a proud man. He also greatly valued his dignity. He couldn't stand people staring at him cri

Sure enough, my bet was spot on.Julianne was admitted to the hospital the next day. She had fallen terribly ill on the day she was supposed to be sent abroad.Given how she had been hospitalized yet again, it was likely she wouldn't be leaving anymore.Irvin immediately called me to explain and told me not to be upset. He also promised that as soon as she recovered, he would send her abroad right away.Truth be told, I wasn't angry at this. In fact, I was rejoicing that she would be sticking around.The old me had longed for Julianne to be sent abroad. I had sorely wanted Julianne to be as far away from her life as possible. But the current me didn't want her to go abroad at all— because I was planning on sending her to prison!Julianne hated me and couldn't stand seeing me happy. She would likely try everything to get rid of me. She had already failed once, but it didn't mean she wouldn't try a second time or even a third. I was certain she would keep trying until she succeeded

"Let go of me!" I shouted."Don't be afraid, Emi. And please, don't be like this. I won't let anything happen to you. I've already made all the necessary arrangements. So all you need to do is lure the kidnappers out," Irvin cooed, trying to reassure me.It didn't matter what he said. It also didn't matter how much he promised I would be fine. He knew I would still be frightened. He also knew that he shouldn't be forcing me to do this.When the kidnappers had told him to exchange me for Julianne, he had refused at first. He had firmly and decisively rejected them. But then, they sent him a video recording of Julianne. And no matter how hard he searched, he wasn't able to determine the location in the video."Lianne's situation is dire, Emi. The kidnappers will only show themselves if they see you…" He tried to reason with me.I was obviously against his plan.Irvin wouldn't be forcing me to do this if Julianne hadn't looked like she was in peril.He genuinely wanted me to forgiv

"How could you take advantage of your position to seduce my husband! How could you knowingly become the other woman!" Grace accused.The photo she showed me on her phone was from when Irvin hugged me tightly after standing up from his wheelchair.When I first saw it, I was stunned. But then, it hit me—we had been watched this whole time!Based on the direction the photo was taken from, it could have only been taken from outside my work studio's window. And given that my studio was on the 10th floor, there was no way a random passerby snapped the photo by chance.Plus, the camera angle of the photo indicated it wasn't a coincidental shot. Someone had clearly been watching us from a floor above in the adjacent building.I also realized I had never closed the curtains in my studio. So, if someone had been watching us the entire time, they definitely knew Irvin had long since regained full use of his legs—which meant the Hardwells no longer needed my services.Thus, here came the poi

The young man's ability to stand again had filled his family with overwhelming joy. Coincidentally, it was also his 17th birthday, so they threw a grand birthday party and invited me to attend.I couldn't refuse. I was genuinely happy for him, so I went.Since his family was acquainted with William, they were undoubtedly influential figures in Lestoria. Therefore, the Hardwells were also invited.When I saw Grace pushing Irvin's wheelchair into the venue, attending the party as a married couple, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.I must really be a hopeless romantic.I had planned to use the time spent treating Irvin's legs to treat my withdrawal symptoms from him. I wanted my final decision to be cutting him out of my life completely.But instead of letting go—as I had hoped—the time we spent together only reminded me how good he once was to me.Even though I knew he had no choice, my heart still ached to see him with another woman.I truly…I really hated how I was. It made me

Because of Agatha's favoritism and stubbornness, Magnus had been growing increasingly impatient with her. "I think I've made myself very clear," he said, leaving no room for further discussion."Magnus, you can't do this! You can't just forget about Tim so soon! How could you treat him this way? Let me tell you—"Before she could finish, Magnus cut her off with a stern shout. "Enough! This is not up for discussion. I don't want to hear another word about it. Just leave!"Magnus' authority was absolute in the Hardwell family. Once he made a decision, Agatha had no power to change it no matter what.Though unwilling and displeased, she had no choice but to leave.As soon as Grace returned home, she was informed about the argument between Magnus and Agatha. She immediately rushed to find Agatha.The moment Agatha saw Grace, tears streamed down her face.Upon hearing that the argument had been about Irvin's hypnosis, Grace finally told her the truth, that Irvin had been faking it.

Grace had always wanted to stand at the pinnacle of power.The man beside her raised an eyebrow and suggested, "Then don't let her die. Force her into a dead-end and offer a hand, so she can be used by us."Grace chuckled but said nothing.Now that she had the picture she wanted, there was no need to continue watching. She withdrew her gaze and returned to the couch in the room.After taking a bottle of collagen, she finally looked at the man sitting across from her. "At the rate Irvin is recovering, he'll be fully healed in at most two to three weeks. Have you made all the preparations I asked for?" she asked."Of course! When have I ever failed to complete a task you gave me?" he replied confidently.Grace's lips curled into a smile. "Great."Seeing how she smiled so casually, completely without any hesitation or pain, the man couldn't help but comment. "Ms. Keller, you're ruthless indeed."Grace lowered her gaze and gently stroked her belly. She didn't respond.That night

Since Irvin had lost his memories, his behavior had regressed to that of his younger self.Although he had difficulty moving and had to avoid the Hardwells, he still prepared small surprises for me every time he came for treatment. Just like how he did when he was pursuing me.Just like when we were newlyweds.No matter how busy or exhausted he was, he always put in the effort to prepare something for me, whether it was a bouquet of flowers, a ticket to a movie I wanted to watch, or a dessert I loved.We were poor back then, and the things he gave me weren't worth much, but I was moved to tears every single time. After all, he was always thoughtful and affectionate. The eyes that were once cold and indifferent now burned with compassion and sincerity. Those naturally affectionate eyes gazed at me with so much love, as if I were his entire world.His one and only.That kind of love was irresistible, drawing me in.And I couldn't help but wonder, if none of it had happened, if

"I'm sorry, babe. Do you not like sunflowers? I… I saw online that…" Irvin stammered.He had searched for information about me online and discovered that I loved sunflowers, so he secretly hid one to give me. But I ended up crying instead of taking it with joy. Snapping out of it, I forced a smile and accepted the flower. "I do love it. Thank you."He stared at me, unsure if I was truly happy or just pretending."But don't call me 'babe' anymore. We're divorced." I couldn't bear to hear him say it in the same affectionate tone as before. That genuine, affectionate tone would only make me feel bad for him.And I didn't want to feel that way.Irvin, who was already anxious, panicked at my words. He grabbed my hands and said, "Babe, I couldn't find anything about what happened between us, but I know that it must have been my fault if we got divorced. "I'll make sure to be good from now on and listen to everything you say. Please, just give me another chance."Irvin had always

Adolescence was already a time when emotions are most unstable, making it easy to act impulsively and engage in risky behaviors. Being treated that way by my own family, I walked into the ocean, one step at a time.I wanted to die.I wanted them to regret, to suffer, to have everyone condemn them for killing their own daughter over an adopted one.I was so foolish back then, thinking I could punish them with my death. I completely forgot that they needed to actually care about me to feel remorse and pain for losing me. If they didn't care, it wouldn't matter if I died a thousand times.Using my own death to punish others is the most foolish thing in the world. I came to that realization when I was on the brink of death. I struggled, trying to make my way back to shore, desperate to survive. But then, a huge wave dragged me under, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stand up. I didn't know how to swim back then.Just when I thought I was going to die, a tall young man do

I comforted Mr. Holland for a long time before he finally felt better and ate some oatmeal.When I got home that night, I pulled out Irvin's medical records and the reports of his treatment with various devices. I analyzed his responses to the treatment to plan the next steps. I wasn't sure how I felt about Irvin, so I chose to ignore it completely and focus solely on treating his legs.If his legs could recover and function properly again, we would be even. No matter what happened in the future, I would take it one step at a time.Things would work out eventually.By the time I finished comparing all the data and finalized the device frequency settings for Irvin's treatment the next day, it was already past 1:00 am.I collapsed onto my bed and fell asleep immediately.Ever since my injuries from falling off the cliff, I needed sleeping pills to fall asleep every night. When I lost my memory, I thought my insomnia was due to the pain. But after my memories returned, I realized

William recalled that at the time of his accident, Cordelia and I had also been vacationing on the island.Although he didn't think it was possible, he instinctively asked anyway.I had assumed that William's intimidating presence on the way here was because he was angry at me for not answering his question.I never expected him to suddenly ask such a thing.Although I didn't know why, my first instinct was to admit that I had saved someone while I was on the island.But before I could say anything, his phone rang. It seemed like an urgent call. After answering it, he hurriedly told me he would send someone else to pick me up before leaving in his car.Feeling bad for troubling him when he was so busy, I sent him a message. I told him that he didn't need to send anyone and that I would call my own driver instead.William didn't reply to my text.Instead, Noah called. "Emi, there's an emergency at home. I have to leave for a while. Wait for me, I'll be right back." he said.W
