Chapter 231

Irvin knew doing so would only drive me further away, so he had to wait patiently until I regained my memories. Once I did and remembered my love for him, things would then return to how they should rightfully be.Besides, he believed he deserved to be punished and should suffer every time he recalled the photos of my injuries. So, in the end, his rationality overcame the beast within him."I can't lock her up—doing so would only drive her further away from me. Emi is only being so resolute because she has lost her memories. She'll remember how much she loved me when she regains them. And once that happens, she'll definitely return to my side!" Irvin declared.A lightbulb turned on in Quinton's head when he heard this. The things he hadn't understood suddenly became clear to him."So that's why she's suddenly acting so heartless toward you! It's because she's lost her memories!" Quinton exclaimed. "I was wondering how she could have such a drastic change of heart. He confidently

Chapter 232

Cordelia obliviously threw her arms around Noah's neck while he was lost in thought."What are you daydreaming about, Noah? It's time to board the plane!" she said.She was eager to hit the beach after reading travel blogs the previous night. However, while others read travel blogs to know where the scenic spots are, the blogs she read were on where to find handsome guys. Hence, her eagerness to hit the beach was fueled by the rumor of Daiti being full of chiseled studs.The flight from Claudeville to Daiti was about ten hours long. We all slept soundly during the long flight, so we weren't tired when we landed.We changed into our beachwear upon arriving at the hotel.Cordelia was about to lead us to the beach when Noah received a call. It seemed something had happened at home, and he had to head back.She was about to say the Lowell household was fine but then realized he was referring to his birth family—the Ashfords. It had to be serious given how he needed to leave right awa

Chapter 233

I would have immediately ran off to get help if I didn't know how to swim. And if he didn't survive because of this, I wouldn't have it on my conscience as I would know I had tried my best.I definitely wouldn't be standing here hesitating as I struggled with myself.Because I did—I knew how to swim.I had seen a psychologist after I nearly drowned in the pond last time. Thus, I was no longer afraid of the water and could swim again. That being said, I wasn't sure if I could save him. While I had regained the ability to swim, I no longer had the same confidence or stamina.A large wave dragged the man further out to sea while I struggled to make a decision. I realized then that it wouldn't matter if I wanted to save him—I wouldn't be able to if he drifted out any further.Thus, I steeled myself and jumped into the water.I had been lucky enough to be saved every time I was in a life-threatening situation. Because of this, I was eternally grateful that someone had chosen to save m

The guard immediately called for assistance using his radio and instructed them to head to the man's rescue.Seeing this, I stopped worrying about the man I had saved. I hurried back to the villa to shower and change my clothes.As I had been in the water and then stood in the cold wind, Cordelia worried I would catch a cold. Hence, she asked our in-house butler to make a large bowl of stew for me while I was showering.I was about to drink the bowl of hot stew when the head of hotel security knocked on our door. He told us they couldn't find anyone at the spot I had mentioned.The news shocked me. While the man's life was no longer in danger, I was sure he was still unconscious when I left. It was impossible for him to wake up and leave on his own in such a short amount of time.Plus, I had moved him so far up the beach that he was almost at the path leading to the hotel's garden. It was also low tide now, so he definitely wasn't pulled back out to sea. So, how could he have disa

I was so shocked that I spilled my drink.When I snapped out of my shock, I realized the figure was Irvin. He had his fist raised and was about to swing it again. Seeing this, I quickly rushed forward and grabbed his arm."What are you doing!" I sternly scolded.Irvin had looked like a raging wild beast. However, he instantly looked aggrieved when he heard me reprimand him."But he was harassing you, babe," he whined in protest.He had hurt me repeatedly, and we were already divorced. So, I didn't understand how he had the gall to still call me "babe" and behave this way.His behaviour irked me.Irvin kept claiming he loved me and was miserable. Yet, he still kept going to such lengths to help Julianne. This made me never want to see him again. And now that I had, I went from feeling like I was floating in heaven to feeling like I had descended into hell.I flung Irvin's hand away as I couldn't be bothered to deal with him. Instead, I strode up to Blondie, who was still on the

Chapter 236

Ultimately, Irvin had a dominant personality.He knew he shouldn't and couldn't force me to do anything. So, his rationality had been suppressing his overwhelming urge to confine me against my will. But then, he heard I was bringing Noah with me on my island holiday. So, he followed after me.Irvin had rushed to my hotel immediately after getting off the plane. Then, before he could catch his breath, he saw Blondie standing close to me. His rationality immediately went out the window at the sight of this. That was why he lost control and charged at him.I scoffed at his words."We're divorced, Irvin. How's there an issue? Don't tell me you expect me to remain loyal to you for the rest of my life just because we were once married?" I retorted.Did he even understand what a divorce meant? It meant a man and woman were no longer involved with each other! It didn't matter that I currently didn't plan to get into another relationship. Besides, even if I were to get married right now,

Chapter 237

Irvin's gaze was determined as he looked at me. Against my will, I recalled the way I had involuntarily felt when we were getting divorced. This thought filled me with unease.I was afraid. I feared everything he said would come true—that I would brainlessly love him again once I regained my memories.I could never accept this!My first thought once I got away from him was to have a one-night stand with a good-looking man.I knew myself. Having been raised by Grandma, I inherited the old-fashioned views of the older generation. I didn't love easily, but once I did, I would do so wholeheartedly.Hence, there was no way I would get back together with Irvin if I had slept with another man. It wouldn't matter how seriously lovesick I was, how much I wanted him back, or how much I wanted to love him again—I would never be with him ever again.Let's say I did love him again after somehow recovering my memories. Even if he could accept that I had slept with another man, we wouldn't be h

Chapter 238

I glanced at Irvin but didn't respond.Irvin knew what I cared about most. So, he knew I wouldn't carelessly go against him after the threat he just made. Thus, he didn't stop me from leaving.When I returned to the party, I saw Cordelia holding a drink to the lips of a chiseled stud. Judging by the rosiness of her cheeks and the sparkle in her eyes, she was having a great time.She immediately released the man when she saw me walking over to her."Where have you been, darling? Don't tell me you've already picked a guy so fast? Sure, all the men here are hot, but even so, you still need to be cautious. At least check if they're disease-free—STDs are so rampant nowadays," Cordelia said.She had always been very cautious and made sure to use protection despite her wanton lifestyle. That was why I never worried about her when it came to this.I smiled and told her that wasn't the case—I had just gone to the washroom earlier. I didn't tell her about what happened with Irvin because I

Chapter 239

I feared rushing into things would backfire and cause my memories to return. Hence, I abandoned my plan to get closer to the Hottie the next day.Instead, I focused on spending time with Grandma. At the same time, I also found an issue at the company that required Irvin to go back and handle it.Right now, I was so afraid of going back to being a lovesick fool again that I didn't even want to breathe the same air as him.Seeing that I was behaving and Noah wasn't around, Irvin decided to return to Claudeville. The issue I had found at the company was quite serious and really needed his attention anyway. So, after taking one last look at me from afar, he left.I instantly felt lighter once he did.Cordelia had a one-month break from work, so we planned on staying in Daiti for more than half of it. We would head back to Claudeville when it was almost time for her to resume work.I thought of proceeding with my plan before we went back—provided I didn't have any dreams like the one

Cordelia chuckled. "That's true."The big shot—who owned the fleet of helicopters—was about to leave the hotel when we went back. Word had it that the hotel's CEO had even specially flown in so he could personally see the big shot off."Come on! Let's go see what this VVIP looks like!" Cordelia excitedly urged.She had always loved joining in on the excitement, so she grabbed my hand and led me up the stairs by the side of the building. She was eager to see the person who commanded a fleet of helicopters just to pick him up.Dozens of bodyguards in black emerged just as we reached the third floor. They swiftly formed two neat rows, creating a path between them. Then, a smaller group of elite-looking guards respectfully created a perimeter around the big shot as he walked out of one of the villas.The big shot was exceptionally tall, even for a Cavashan man, that he stood out even among the men surrounding him. He had great posture and carried himself with the authority of someone
