Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 491

Chapter 491

Irvin smiled wryly when he met William’s skeptical gaze.

“I know it’s hard to believe I’m doing this for Emi’s sake, especially after everything I’ve done to her. But I really am. I want Emi to live a better life. I want to do everything I can to make it up to her,” Irvin said.

William had never lost ground in business, which naturally meant he was a capable person and could read people accurately. He had never once misjudged anyone and could see through them clearly.

William could tell Irvin was being serious and sincere. Irvin genuinely did want to hand the Hardwell family’s empire over to me. This realization tinged William’s eyes with something indescribable as he looked at Irvin.

The Hardwells were an aristocratic family who had built their family fortune over a century. If it really came down to a clash, the Ashford family might not be able to win against them.

Anyone would be desperate to seize and own such immense wealth And yet, Irvin unbelievably wanted to just give it to me. Seeing Irvin like this, William couldn’t help but ask, “If you loved Emi that much, why did you hurt her back then?”

Shouldn’t true love mean unconditional devotion? No matter what had done, shouldn’t Irvin have sided with me? Even if there was some misunderstanding between us because of Julianne, he still shouldn’t have done what he did.

Irvin laughed bitterly. “Back then, I didn’t understand what real love was.”

་་

He did now, but it was all too late. Plus, the reason Irvin was able to go to such extremes was because he took my love for granted.

He knew how much I loved him and believed I’d never leave. That was why Irvin hurt me so recklessly. It had never once crossed his mind that even the deepest love would run dry one day.

Irvin looked so pitiful now, but William didn’t feel any sympathy for him.

Snapping out of his thoughts, William looked at him and said, “If you need anything from me, just let me know.”
