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
There was nearly half a minute of silence on the other end of the line. Chandler was in no hurry to speak. He patiently waited for Angela, who hadn't hung up, to speak.Angela responded a whole minute later. "That's right. When Evelyn took a tumble, my dad slapped me and told me to my face that he no longer recognized me as his daughter. That damned old man. Now that he knows about Clifford and Elina, he doesn't care about Alana and me anymore …"Both Chandler and Erin could hear Angela's despair and pain. She had a falling out with her father shortly after her mother's death. She must've already hit rock bottom."You need to calm down and show yourself to be a capable leader! Evelyn is making a fool of your father. Can you not stay calm? Don't let Clifford and Elina take your position in the company. If they take half your shares, you'll receive a significant blow. You need money and power. Stop creating trouble for yourself! Before you find conclusive evidence of what caused your
He was Dani.Dani noticed Erin covering her mouth and looking as if she was going to burst into tears and broke free of Chandler's hold. Once he was grounded, he looked up. "It doesn't matter whether I'm Asa or Dani. You're still my mommy."The look in his eyes and the tone of his voice showed a maturity that a child under eight wouldn't normally possess.Chandler frowned and crossed his arms. He voiced his dissatisfaction. "What does that mean? You say she's your mother. So, why am I Mr. Frost?"Disdain appeared on Dani's face. He was a carbon copy of Chandler. He scoffed. "You're a man who lost his memories, Mr. Frost. What else can you do besides upset your son and wife? Recover your memories so Asa doesn't have to keep living in fear."He then walked toward Erin and whispered, "Are you hungry, Mommy? Can we go eat something?"Erin was experiencing some mixed emotions. She felt afraid to reach out to her son, who had seemingly changed overnight.Dani noticed her hesitation an
Erin strongly resisted Chandler's advances when he tried to kiss her again. She braced her hands in front of him and said in a cold voice, "I'm not joking, Chandler! Don't touch me!"Her rejection and disgust had Chandler instantly lose interest. He got up and left the bedroom without looking back.Her rejection hurt his pride. He didn't want to force himself on her. He would find himself pathetic if he did. He knew that her aversion was likely related to what happened between him and Yvette. There was still the suspicion of infidelity.Erin sat up after watching Chandler leave with the door slamming behind him. She felt uncomfortable. She knew her rejection had hurt him, but she couldn't lie to herself. Even if her heart said yes, her body screamed no. The piercing pain she experienced that night remained vivid in her memories.After all, Chandler's reasoning was nothing but speculation. It wasn't the truth. She sighed helplessly as guilt overtook her.If only he hadn't lost his
