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
Roman held the woman he loved in his arms. The one who hurt her was none other than the man she loved. Roman felt a deep sense of frustration. For a moment, he wished he were the one who had lost his memory. Well, as long as it meant not hurting Erin …After all, she didn't love him. If he were the one who lost his memory, maybe she wouldn't be sad.Roman's affection for Erin ran deep. However, Erin was busy crying her heart out and didn't realize it."Erin, Chandler will be fine. Trust me. Believe in him." He said something even he wasn't sure of. He just wanted Erin to believe. Having hope was always better than being pessimistic.Erin cried for a full ten minutes before stopping.Roman cupped her cheeks and asked, "Have you cried enough?"She nodded, wiping her tears away with a wry smile. She thought she didn't need this kind of emotional release. Unexpectedly, she couldn't hold back in front of Roman.He said, "From now on, no more crying. You've always been strong.
Erin came to her senses when she noticed Chandler's nosebleed. She realized it was her who hit him …He frowned at her. The stinging pain coming from his nose left him in a daze. But anger was quick to surge in his eyes. Before Chandler could blow up, Erin was quick to open the car door and make a run for it …"Erin Lane!"She could hear the deafening roar as she ran.The woman was drenched in cold sweat as she ran away. She felt guilty. Tonight's boxing practice turned out not to be a waste of time. She was quick to learn how to hit someone. But it seemed she had targeted someone she shouldn't have!Shortly afterward, Chandler got out of the car and wiped his bloodied nose. He was furious. Watching the small figure running away lit a fire in him.How dare that bitch hit him? She must've had a death wish! He was going to make her suffer if he got his hands on her!It was unsafe for a woman to run wild in the streets in the middle of the night.After making an effort to calm him
"Pax?" Chandler was astonished.Kyle sighed. "Honestly, I don't believe it either. Even his wife, Mikaela, says that isn't possible! She doesn't believe Pax would see another woman behind her back. She's saying someone might be doing this to frame him! Pax received a mysterious phone call before all this happened. He left home right after. Mikaela doesn't know who called. She only realized something had gone wrong when she received a call …""According to the owner of the passage parlor, Pax was already drunk when he showed up there. He was disoriented. A stranger who led him there gave the owner three thousand dollars and asked them to take good care of Pax. We're actively searching for this unknown man. "Assuming that Pax was indeed framed, using such a clumsy method to kill him reeks of desperate action. There doesn't seem like a well-thought-out plan. They were trying to make it seem like Pax died from taking illegal substances because of his lust. But they never considered tha
The fleeting cruelty in Chandler's eyes had Erin's heart racing. Yes, Yvette was a terrible person, but she didn't deserve death. Erin had never considered having the woman killed. She could simply sever ties with Yvette, and they would never see each other again."Don't do anything that goes against the law! I don't want Yvette to die," Erin reminded Chandler out of fear that the man might go too far.After all, she couldn't guarantee Yvette wouldn't try to do something immoral again. She also couldn't keep an eye on Chandler all the time.He was surprised as he flashed her a mocking smile. "Your sister is blatantly harming you. And yet, you continue to protect her. Do you see yourself as Mother Mary, Erin?"She sucked in a breath. "We don't get to pick what families we're born into. I can't deal with Yvette the same way I throw out trash. Evelyn treated you just as coldly, Chandler. You should know best what it is I'm feeling."He fell silent for a moment. His expression darkene
