Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 321

Chapter 321

Grace looked utterly weak, hurt, and innocent, However, Irvin knew how terrifying she actually was.

Despite her fragile and sorrowful appearance, he knew what she truly meant by her words was, “So what if you have evidence that my child needed to be terminated? What does it matter that you can prove I had intentionally tried to frame Emilia Quill?

“Can you sue me with that evidence? Can you use it to prove Emilia didn’t push me and that she’s innocent?”

Irvin forced himself to calm down before asking, “What do you want?”

Grace knew his patience was running out. She was also aware that her innocent and pitiful act might backfire if she kept it up.

She stopped pretending and plainly said, “I believe you’ve already looked into me thoroughly by now and know about my family situation.”

Yes, Irvin did.

Grace continued, “My husband is dead, and I’ve lost my child. So, can forget about being the future matriarch of the Hardwell family because very soon, I will mean nothing to them, given how ruthless my stepmother is.

“Do you think she will just let me live? Do you think she won’t try to eliminate me?”

Irvin didn’t respond.

Going straight to the point, she said, “I need you to pretend to be Timothy and play my husband because I need to remain the most favored and sole Mrs. Timothy Hardwell.”

Without allowing Irvin to respond, she proposed, “I’m not asking you to be Timothy forever, nor am I expecting you to fulfill any husbandly duties. I just want you to cooperate and enter a nominal marriage with me. Then, once I’ve taken back the Keller family, we can end our partnership.

“And the sooner you help me seize back the Keller family, the sooner our nominal marriage can end. You just need to agree to this, and Ms, Quill will immediately be released without incident. Then, once I’ve gotten what I wanted, the two of you can go back to being a loving couple.

“Besides, you’re aware of how stubborn Agatha is. So, you know she won’t allow you to have control of the Hardwell family purely because you’re not the real Timothy. And if you can’t do that you and Ms. Quill will never have your happily ever after,” she argued.

Irvin understood what Grace was saying when she brought up Agatha.

So, after a moment of silence, he asked, “You’ll withdraw the lawsuit if I accept your deal?”

“Not just that–I’ll also clear Ms. Quill’s name,” Grace said with a smile.

Irvin fell silent again for a moment before saying, “We have a deal.

Grace lowered her head to hide what she was thinking.

To Irvin, accepting her deal was a win–win situation. But unbeknownst to him, Grace wanted more than just control over the Keller family.

That night, I was getting ready to wash up for bed when an officer came and told me I was free to go.

I was stunned because I didn’t expect this to happen so quickly.

When I followed the officer out of the detention center, I saw Irvin waiting anxiously at the entrance. When he spotted me,

couldn’t resist striding forward and embracing me tightly.

“I’m sorry, babe, for dragging you into this and causing you to suffer,” Irvin apologized.
