Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 209

”

you really think you have the right to sit here and apologize to me?” I shot back.

Irvin’s face turned pale at my words. It was almost unbearable to look at him.

His mouth fell open as though he wanted to say something However, his lips merely trembled for a long time– he couldn’t form any words.

Sure, he might never have intended to harm me. Yet, time and time again, I had nearly died because of him.

Irvin let out a self–deprecating laugh. His eyes looked craze. Never before had he felt more deserving of death than in this moment.

Regardless of how helpless he had felt then, he should have never put me in such danger. He truly didn’t deserve to live.

He was so overcome with pain and guilt that he looked utterly shattered and broken.

If this was the old me, I would have been so heartbroken that I wouldn’t be able to resist forgiving him. However, the current me merely sneered at the state he was in.

Irvin’s remorse had come too late, so it was worthless. It was like crying over someone’s grave when they were already gone.

He couldn’t claim to love me when he had waited until now to beat himself up over what he had done. Honestly, his behavior was just sickening, and I didn’t want to spend another second talking to someone like him.

“If apologizing is all you have to say to me, then let’s not waste any more time. We should just call our lawyers in so we can move on with discussing our divorce.”

I expected Irvin to fight me on this again.

But surprisingly, he replied, “Okay.”

I was taken aback by how readily he responded, but I couldn’t care less about his thoughts. So, I quickly called Mark into the room and Irvin’s lawyer followed behind him.

Mark looked very serious this time, especially now that we had the evidence Noah’s uncle had uncovered. He was certain there wouldn’t be any issues this round.

However, there was one question he needed an answer to.

“Please clarify this clause, Mr. Sawyer. It states that you’ll be the company’s CEO and that you cannot be removed from the position,” Mark requested as he pointed to the last line in the shares transfer document.

Irvin didn’t answer Mark.

Instead, he looked at me and said, “I know you’re preparing for your grad school entrance exams, Emi. I also know you plan to return to the academic field you love.

“You’ll need someone to run the company so you can focus on your research, and I want to be that person. I will be that person for the rest of my life to atone for what I have done.”

It was the only thing Irvin could do for me now, after all. He would become my biggest pillar of support to atone for his sins. And he was going to build a business empire for me to ensure that I would have no worries for the rest of my life.

“You don’t have to worry about me causing trouble at the company,” Irvin continued. “There are strict conditions listed beneath the clause, and you’re free to fire me if I don meet them. ‘Cannot be removed‘ means that you can never dismiss me as long as I continue to bring value to the company.”

In simple terms, he was saying he would work for me for the rest of his life. And as long as he continued to bring in profit, I would have to keep him in the company. Conversely, If he was no longer capable of doing so, I could fire him mercilessly.
