“The doctor wasn’t very helpful. He said there could be many possible reasons behind my memory loss. Charis was the one who told me I was in the boat with the search and rescue team when I fainted. The next time I woke up, I couldn’t remember anything from the past two years. Actually, all I know about the last two years, Charis taught it to me,” Brandon narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips tightly.
“It worried me that my competitors used my memory loss to their benefit, so I didn’t tell anyone, including you. I don’t know anything about our past.”
After explaining everything to him, Brandon fell into a thoughtful silence. Natalie wanted to tell him everything, especially all the bad things that Charis had done to them. But she couldn’t. Brandon had lost his memory of the last two years, which meant he didn’t have feelings for her now, let alone trust. Additionally, she had no evidence to prove what Charis had done, and at this point, Brandon trusted Charis more.
After all, she was the second-in-command at the Larson Group. Natalie swallowed everything she wanted to say. Now that Brandon’s mind was practically a blank slate, it was likely that Charis had bad-mouthed Natalie in front of him. Thinking of this, Natalie shifted uncomfortably in bed. The mere thought that her husband trusted the woman who had hurt her more than once upset her greatly.
Worse yet, the two years missing from Brandon’s memory were the two years in which they had grown to understand and love each other. No wonder he had been distant with her lately. It all finally made sense.
With tears in her eyes and a lump in her throat, Natalie asked in a low voice, “Do you want to know about our relationship in the last two years? If you have time, I can tell you everything…”
Usually, Brandon would not have wasted his precious time listening to this woman’s stories. He was a very busy man and devoted his whole life to work, not boring stuff like this. But after hearing what Natalie said, without hesitation, he unconsciously replied, “Go ahead.” Natalie pursed her lips sadly, realizing that Brandon wasn’t really interested in what had happened between them in the last two years and that he was only obliging her.
However, Natalie still wanted to tell him. So she cleared her throat and began to speak. In brief words, she described what had happened between them during the last two years. She told him how he had pretended to be a poor young man when they got married. It was only later when his true identity was revealed that they gained each other’s trust and love. She didn’t describe exactly how she felt, but rather explained everything as if she were telling the story of another person.
“That’s why I couldn’t accept the fact that suddenly you were so indifferent to me,” she added at the end.
Brandon was silent and listened attentively and patiently. There was tenderness in his eyes when Natalie finished the story. He smiled and asked, “Did we love each other very much back then?”
Brandon thought that if the relationship between him and Natalie was as good as she described it, he must have loved her very much. But at the same time, there was a question lingering in Brandon’s mind. According to what Charis had told him, Natalie had an obsessive one-sided love for him, while he felt nothing for his wife. It was a completely different story from what Natalie had told him earlier.
What was most disconcerting was that Natalie didn’t seem to be lying. Brandon buried this question in the back of his head, intending to ask Charis about it later in the afternoon.
At that moment, the Whites burst into the living room. When Johanna received Brandon’s phone call, she was very worried. However, after learning that Natalie was hurt because she had tried to save Brandon, her concern turned to fury.
