Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198

However, Iknew Irvin didn’t actually want me to stab him. He just wanted to make me feel that sense of reluctance to hurt him. He was hoping I would regain the love I had for him through his.

It was one of his oldest tactics. He always pulled the same stunt whenever he made me angry.

First, he would act pitiful and ask me to hit him. Then, he would somehow get hurt in the process, and I would end up feeling sorry for him. Lastly, I would ultimately forget what I had done wrong because I was reluctant to lose him.

He might be the same person he always had been, but I wasn’t.

I scoffed at him, then took a few steps back.

Once I had put enough distance between us, I said, “Stab you? Isn’t that a crime? Can you stop being so appalling? If you truly think you’re at fault, then how about you be a man about it? Stop pretending to have amnesia and enough with these cheap tricks! Let’s divvy our assets and quickly get divorced!”

The words “pretending to have amnesia” seemed to strike a chord deep inside Irvin. He felt as though he had said those same words to me, but it wasn’t possible.

Iwas his beloved wife. There was no way he would say something like that to me.

However, a memory flashed through his mind just as he was about to deny it. In the memory, I was lying in a hospital bed. He was standing beside it and looking down at me.

“You’ve really outdone yourself this time, Emilia. Faking an illness this severe just so you wouldn’t be discharged? And now, you’re pretending to have amnesia too?”

Irvin was so shocked by how cold and unfamiliar he was in the memory

that he physically took a step back.

Thoughts whirred through his mind–It was impossible. He would never treat me that way. I was his beloved wife He loved me more than anything!

I had saved him, so he would never ever do anything to hurt me, and he would never treat me this way!

His father, Phillip, didn’t like his mother, Lizzie. And by extension, Phillip also didn’t like him–the son his mother had given birth to. However, Alice Batten–Phillip’s mother and Irvin’s paternal grandmother was fond of Lizzie.

Philip didn’t dare defy Alice, so he pretended to be good to Lizzie. And to complete his act, he also pretended to spoil Irvin unconditionally. Thus, he had raised Irvin like a prince.

Irvin grew to become flamboyant, arrogant, and proud. And because he had also never faced any setbacks, his ego was naively fragile.

Lizzie had been a doting mother despite her poor health, so it was a huge emotional blow to Irvin when she suddenly passed away. Shortly after, Phillip stopped being an indulgent father. Instead, he had abruptly kicked Irvin out of the house.

As someone who had never experienced hardships in life, Irvin was suddenly forced to face life’s cruelty. Most importantly, he couldn’t accept it–he couldn’t accept that his seemingly loving father had never truly ca.

him.

.or

This left Irvin feeling lost–he didn’t know what was real and what was fake. He also involuntarily questioned his entire life and everything in it. Because of this, he became very depressed.
