Ned had asked Miles to look into Xavier and Yasmine's father in the past. At the time, Miles had already suspected they belonged to Nathaniel because the latter happened to be at the hotel that night.Nathaniel and Sean had grown up together. Taylor had also been around that night. The only possibility was that they hadn't had time to take Angeline to the hospital, so Nathaniel had helped out. It couldn't be that Xavier and Yasmine were Sean's kids—not when Sean and Angeline were related.Miles' deduction was pretty much as Ned had guessed. Ned didn't remember a thing from the night he and Angeline had been drugged, but since Angeline had made it clear that the kids weren't his, it could only mean that she'd slept with someone else that night.And so, Ned's suspicions had landed on Nathaniel, who'd also been at the hotel at the time."Whatever it is, I'm going to win Angie back." Ned didn't plan on hiding his thoughts from Miles. "I'm willing to pay any price as long as it gets Ang
Miles was startled. He suddenly laughed and said, "No, Angie and I have always been from two different worlds. Don't you remember what her IQ is? With her intelligence, she never needed to advance year by year with you. "So many universities reached out to her, from the local universities to the ones abroad. She's a genius. She only followed an ordinary person's pace so that she could be with you. "How should I say this? In the past, I always felt like Angie was from a different world compared to the rest of us because she came from such a poor family. However, now that I think about it, I've been right that we're from different worlds. "But in some aspects, she's superior to us. We could even say that we're in completely different leagues."Miles had to admit it.Angeline's abilities and intelligence were far beyond theirs. The truth was that without Ned, they wouldn't even have gotten to know her. While they were playing ball and fighting in school, Angeline would be in the
Miles swallowed hard. "You and Ingrid were so in love at the time, and you were so hostile to Angeline. How could we say anything? You had lost your memories and were so happy with Ingrid. What could we say?"Miles thought about what Angeline had said. She had said that they weren't her friends, and they were Ned's friends.He suddenly chuckled and looked at Ned as he said, "Besides, we've always been your friends, not Angeline's! We ate and had fun together because she was your girlfriend, and we did it to spend time with you. Angeline was always an extra! It was the same with Ingrid. When she became your girlfriend, we became friends with her too!"Ned shot to his feet. "How could you say that?""It's the truth! Angeline realized that a long time ago. This is why she doesn't even want to contact us. We were the people she left in her past!" Miles moved the cigarette in his mouth. He held it between his fingers and rested it casually on the table. He looked at Ned, who had risen
He had lost Angeline.However, he couldn't fathom the reason. He wasn't the one who had tortured Angeline so cruelly. Angeline was his life. Even if he had to die, he would never let her be hurt at all. How could he have treated her so terribly?He had asked this question thousands of times, but no one could answer him.Ned slumped back in his chair. "But… I can't live without Angie. I don't know how to get her back. If… If I suffered everything Angie went through, once, twice, or even countless times, would she stop being angry? Could we be together again?""It's impossible." Miles cut off Ned's fantasies abruptly. "Ned, rather than struggling to think if you and Angie can be together again, why don't you settle down with Ingrid? Ingrid undoubtedly loves you…""Does she love me? Or… does she love the relationship I once had with Angie?" Ned looked up at Miles, who had been trying to act as a peacemaker. Miles was startled. Ned was still clear-headed, except when it came to An
Miles just looked at Ned in silence, the smoke that rose from his cigarette curling around his fingers.The dim, warm lighting in the room made it difficult to see Miles' expression clearly. "I'd like to invite Ingrid to shoot a commercial for our company's new makeup product. Could you help me mention it to her? We can negotiate the price." Miles changed the subject abruptly and spoke about the reason why he had come. "We contacted Ingrid's management, but they said she didn't have time. I'm thinking that Ingrid might be able to make time to shoot a commercial with your help.""Did you really have someone you loved that you had to let go?" Ned could sense the change in Miles' emotions. "Who was it?"Ned was very surprised. He and Miles had grown up together, and they had been practically inseparable. He wondered when Miles had fallen for someone and why he hadn't known about it.If he hadn't known about it, it must be someone in their circle.There were only a few women in th
"I can't do it! Angie is my world!" Ned replied shortly. "I'm not you… Angie is my priority.""You're hopeless." Miles frowned and pulled his tie in irritation. "Ned, love isn't the only thing in this world. To me, love is the most insignificant thing, and it comes after everything else. You've got to be more practical.""Don't interfere with my affairs in the future." Ned poured himself a glass of wine. "I'm not going to talk to Ingrid about shooting a commercial for you. Apart from work matters, I don't want to have any personal contact with Ingrid from now on. I don't want Angie to misunderstand me.""Does Angie care?" Miles couldn't help raising his voice."It doesn't matter whether she cares or not. I have to do it." Ned looked up at Miles. "I'm different from you. Love might be the last thing you consider. But to me… Angie will always be my top priority."After finding out that Miles had been interested in Angeline, Ned felt the urge to flip the table in anger and leave.Mi
The host's voice sounded. "We've always heard about how deeply in love you and Mr. Fletcher were. You didn't get married because you were still focusing on your career, so why did you suddenly decide to break up?""Ned recovered his memories and remembered his past. He realized that Angie is still the one he loves, so we broke up on good terms…" Ingrid explained."Do you have any plans now that you've broken up? Are you going to continue developing your career?"Ingrid nodded. "I've been working hard for my career, and like you've just said, Ned and I didn't get married despite having been engaged for years because of my career. We both agreed to break up, but… I've decided to pursue Ned and get him back! "He once pursued me because he had lost his memories, and he was attracted to me because I resembled Angie. That was how I was lucky enough to become his girlfriend!"We broke up on good terms, but… I love him! So this time, I'll be the one pursuing Ned! No matter what the resul
Why did he have to give up on Angeline?Ned gripped the phone tightly. He wondered if his feelings didn't matter.Angeline was the one he loved the most. He couldn't understand why Angeline had to be with Nathaniel and why the netizens were telling him and Ingrid to be together. What did they know about all this?They didn't know about all those years that he and Angeline had spent together, and they also didn't know how much he and Angeline used to love each other.Angeline had been willing to give up her life for him, and he was willing to give up everything for her, including his own life!They had no right to order him around and tell him to be with Ingrid.Angeline was the only one he ever wanted, and she was the only one he would ever be with. He would rather die than give up on Angeline.Ned locked his phone screen and said to the driver, "Go to Grand Court Residences!"He didn't know what he should do, and he felt like he was dying. He knew that he might not be ab
