Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117

Irvin instinctively smiled when he saw me. Or rather, he tried to. Unfortunately, his facial muscles were stiff from the cold and weren’t cooperating.

It seemed he wanted me to pity him. It was probably all part of his strategy to win me over.

My past self couldn’t stand seeing him in any pain. It was agonizing to her if he wasn’t even the slightest bit uncomfortable.

But now? My current self merely looked at him indifferently. I didn’t feel anything for him, not even the least bit of attachment.

My heart didn’t ache. I didn’t feel any love of any hate toward him. There wasn’t even anger. There was only detachment.

My feeling toward him was colder than the winter frost.

He started panicking when he saw this. So much so, that he looked as though he could barely breathe.

“You must be feeling very disappointed in me. Right, Emi?” he asked.

Perhaps he finally had time to reflect after placating Julianne. It seemed he remembered how he had misjudged me over the drugging incident.

“Nope.” My memories of him were scarce, so there was nothing to be disappointed about. I only wanted to sever all ties with this trash of a man.

At this thought, I continued, “Next Monday happens to be the last day of the cooling–off period. I’ll meet you at the entrance of the courthouse at 8:30 am sharp. I hope you’ll keep your promise. Don’t make me resort to legal measures just to divorce you.”

With that, I walked around him, intending to go upstairs.

However, he grabbed my arm. “Are you really so disappointed with me, Emi? Do we really have to resort to this?” he asked, his voice trembling slightly.

My eyes were filled with indifference when I looked at him. Forget about love, there wasn’t even hate in them. It was as though I was looking at a stranger.

The sight caused him to be extremely worried.

“Hate me, Emi. Please? Why won’t you hate me?” he begged.

Where there was hate, there was love. As long as there was a trace of love left, there would still be hope for him to win me back.

It was at this moment that Irvin finally came to a bitter realization. He finally realized that I genuinely wanted a divorce.

It had finally registered in his head that I hadn’t been playing hard to get. And it also wasn’t some sort of tactic to get him to love me more.

I truly didn’t want to be with him.

His apprehension grew the more this fact sank in. Judging by how hard he was trembling, it seemed he was on the verge of falling apart.

Yet, all I felt was annoyance.

I was also cold from the weather. So all I wanted to do in this instance was go home and snuggle under my warm

blanket.

“Why would I bother hating you?” I huffed in disbelief. “The only thing I want from you is a divorce and nothing, else! Also, please let go of me immediately or I’ll call the cops!”

If he was crazy enough to want to stand outside and freeze, was going to let him. I didn’t want to spend another minute out here with him in this freezing weather!

“Emi…” Irvin started to say when a patrolling security guard walked up to us. The guard’s name tag read “Henry Buck“.

I immediately requested Henry to escort Irvin away. I also told him to call the police if Irvin refused to leave. Henry had noticed Irvin standing there for some time now. It was late at night, so he had found it suspicious. That was why he had been patrolling this area extra diligently.
