Yvette took a taxi all the way back. She rolled down the car window halfway, letting bursts of cold wind blow in. She didn't feel cold. She held a can of beer from the convenience store in her hand and drank from it.The taxi driver was a woman. When Yvette got in the car, the driver recognized her as a celebrity and asked for her autograph. Being in a good mood, Yvette even agreed to take a photo with the driver.The driver asked, "Ms. Dempsey, why are you alone here so late at night? On top of that, you don't have anyone around to protect you. You're so pretty; you should be careful when going out.""Yes, you're right. Thank you for your concern. Tonight, I was with the man I love the most. I feel very happy. My wish has finally come true," Yvette replied, taking another sip of beer. She remembered how Erin and Ryder had left earlier. She felt a sense of accomplishment.Yvette thought she'd truly reconciled with Erin. But in reality, she had merely hidden her dissatisfaction de
Kyle looked at Erin's eyes after he was done speaking. He noticed her eyes turning red briefly, but she quickly held back the tears. She surprised him as she suddenly smiled. "You said he forgot my name?"Her smile was heart-wrenching and melancholic.Swallowing the lump in his throat, Kyle said in a low voice, "Mr. Frost's memories have regressed to the past."Her smile remained on her lips, but it lacked warmth. She lowered her gaze to the floor and said with resignation, "How far back into the past? Has he returned to a time before he knew me?"A hint of sadness flashed across Kyle's eyes. With much difficulty, he nodded.Right then, Ryder asked, "Erin, he's in a very bad condition now. Do you still want to see him?"One could foresee what would happen. Erin had become someone who didn't exist in Chandler's world. Even if they met and Kyle revealed her identity to him, Chandler wouldn't feel anything.She would have to endure his treating her like she was a stranger. Was sh
Over an hour later, Erin returned to the villa. Right before she got out of the car, she received a call from Yvette.The sight of this name burned her eyes.She didn't know what Yvette wanted to say. She would find out once she answered the call. With a cold glint in her eyes, Erin pressed the answer button decisively.Yvette's guilty voice immediately sounded from the other end of the phone. "Erin, I'm so glad you're willing to take my call. I was afraid you wouldn't talk to me or give me a chance to explain.""Why wouldn't I talk to you? What do you want to explain to me?"Sitting in her van, Yvette froze momentarily upon hearing Erin's chilly and uncaring tone. Her reaction was somewhat unexpected.Hurriedly, Yvette explained, "I know you're angry with me. I didn't expect you to witness Chandler and me … I only found out that you'd been in the hotel from Calla. Don't blame Chandler. He mistook me for you because of his amnesia—"Erin interrupted her, "That's right. He mist
Earlier in the afternoon, Paulo sent her a WhatsApp message, saying he'd handled the matter in Eupath. He'd sent the woman who looked like Pamela to Eden Garden with his secretary. It was better for her to be there than to work as an escort. The woman realized she couldn't carry on with her current job forever. So, she told them she wanted to learn legitimate skills.Paulo didn't notice anything unusual, but Jenny reminded him that the woman could be after his wealth. Little did they know that the moment the woman saw Paulo, she wanted to be with him. She'd fallen in love at first sight.Paulo had seated himself on the sofa right after he came in. He thought for a moment and replied, "I'll stay as long as you want."Erin closed her laptop and walked over to sit next to him. She then pointed at the box he brought."What's this? Is it a souvenir from some Eupathean country?""Do you think I'd give you something so predictable?" Paulo asked."I won't accept it if it's too expensiv
Erin was no longer sobbing. The tone of her voice was laced with anger now. Paulo let go and turned back to the sofa. He wasn't interested in forcing himself on her.The atmosphere became awkward at this moment. Erin was at a loss for words.Paulo stood up and said, "I'll be going now, but I'm not leaving the country yet. I'll ask my fellow doctors about Chandler's condition. If there's any good news, I'll let you know."His silent efforts warmed her heart. Before Paulo left the study, she blurted, "Paulo, you'll be my good friend forever, right?"Erin wanted to sever any romantic possibilities with him. With his back turned to her, Paulo sneered. He didn't turn around, so she couldn't see his expression at that moment.He had a look of despair that exuded a sense of reluctance to let go. His expression was so serious that it was scary. It was the same expression Ryder had seen previously. Paulo's emotions ran deep, and he kept them hidden well.He remained quite calm as he
Hearing Chandler's question, Erin felt like she'd traveled through time. He'd really lost his memory. Erin had been reluctant to believe this. Faced with Chandler's brashness that showcased the undeniable truth of his memory loss, she couldn't escape from it even if she wanted to.Every time she saw Chandler now, she would recall the scene of him and Yvette lying together in the hotel. A sharp pain pierced her heart. Her brain went blank. It was as if she were trapped in a world she didn't want to be in."Don't you know basic courtesy and respect? Please get out now," she demanded, her voice cold. She wasn't mad at his unreasonable behavior.Chandler's memory had returned to the past. It would be irrational of her to hold it against him.With his memory gap, Erin didn't want to discuss the matter about Yvette with him. It wouldn't be fair due to his missing memories.Standing at the bathroom door, Chandler sensed the hurt within Erin's eyes as she lowered them and turned
Such a meaningless conversation left Erin exhausted. She looked at the broken glass on the floor and said to Trent, "Trent, please have someone clean this up. I won't be dining here.""Alright, Mrs. Frost." Trent complied. He found it hard to like the current Chandler too.Chandler stared at Erin and said scornfully, "Leave this place if you have the guts! Stop hanging around without shame!"Erin's steps stiffened. She was ready to retort. But then, she thought about how Chandler might feel when he regained his memory and recalled this conversation. If she talked back to him now, what would be left between them besides emotional scars?Before Erin could leave the dining room, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted their impasse.Kyle walked into the dining room with a pile of thick documents in his hands. "Good evening, Mrs. Frost.""Mr. Morn, you got here just in time. If your boss wants to know more about Asa, please tell him." She entrusted the most important task of
Although he felt a sense of repulsion, Chandler couldn't resist the look in her eyes. His hand instinctively reached out and took the photo album from her.Erin wanted to say something to him, but there was nothing left to say. She had overestimated herself. Whenever she thought about him and Yvette, she felt too uncomfortable to speak. Thinking of it made her chest hurt."Kyle, thank you for everything." She looked at Kyle and continued walking downstairs.Chandler wanted to reach out to hold her hand, but he stopped himself. He gripped the photo album. He gazed at Erin until she left the living room and walked out of the villa.Somehow, he felt worried and asked Kyle, "Is there anyone protecting Erin?""Calla and Candra, the Lehman sisters," Kyle replied right away."I see." Chandler held the photo album and went upstairs. His heartbeat was still irregular. He remembered the look of sadness in Erin's eyes when she stared at him.Inexplicable emotions began to surface in
