Chapter 35

I quickly got up and tidied up my pajamas. Standing by the bed, I stared at the man who had a casual expression. Nicholas was the only one who could be so shameless.

Christopher would never do such a thing.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Am I not welcomed?"

There was a sense of entitlement in his tone.

I suppressed my displeasure and sighed. Then, I asked him, "Didn't you forget about me? Why can you remember my house's password?"

Nicholas got up without caring and walked toward me, so I stepped back and stopped him. "Just talk."

He stood still and said, "I'm susceptible to numbers, so I can't forget them. Besides, I only forgot about you, not your password. Speaking of… Your password is 1227, which is Christopher's birthday."

He casually said Christopher's name, so I said unhappily, "Stop spouting nonsense. The password is unrelated to Christopher."

Nicholas only raised his eyebrows and repeated my words, "Unrelated?"

I calmly retorted, "What do you think, then?"

Nicholas' expression turned gloomy. He stepped forward, grabbed my wrist, and swore in a cold voice, "I don't care if something is going on between you, and I don't care what happened to you in the past. From now on, you are mine, and only mine. No one can take you away."

"Ha!" Sneering, I questioned, "Isn't that preposterous of you? Nicholas, there is nothing going on between Christopher and I. Even if there is, it's none of your business. Who don't you take care of your Maria?"

At that, he sealed my lips.

The lighting in the room was dim. He roughly pushed me to the wall and turned my words into babble.

It wasn't until now that I realized the difference in strength between men and women. It was nothing short of immeasurable. Nicholas subdued me perfectly. He immediately threw me on the bed and pinned me down.

I gasped while his lips rubbed against my face. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "I really love you."

This was the first time I heard him say he loved me after returning to Bryxton.

However, I sarcastically asked, "Didn't you forget about me?"

His breath fell on my face, making me feel ticklish. Suddenly, he bit my lip and said, "Well, I did forget about you. However, the feeling is still there as I always come here involuntarily. Renee, I want to see you all the time."

"You're shameless!"

His body suddenly froze as I raised my head and bit his ear. I then blew in his ear and whispered, "Everyone thinks you have lost your memory, but I'm the one who knows you the best."

I licked his ear and continued, "Nicholas, you're creative in finding your way out. You are afraid I will never forgive you, so you lied to everyone that you have amnesia. You want me to believe that you have lost your memory. You did succeed; I was sure that you really have amnesia. However, the Nicholas I know is a forbearing man and will not talk about love with just any woman. Can you explain how you can be so shameless now?"

I was trying to test him.

It was because his actions made me think that he was faking his amnesia.

Nicholas was silent the whole time. He raised his head and looked at me passionately, but he didn't defend himself. Instead, he asked coldly, "Renee, do you really want him?"

He was referring to Christopher.

"What is this question about?"

He was asking an irrelevant question.

"Christopher is not suitable for you."

With that, Nicholas abruptly got up. He didn't deny that he was faking amnesia, but the opposite was true too. He just skipped the question that he didn't want to answer.

I got up and straightened my clothes, thereafter saying, "It's none of your business."

Hearing this, Nicholas suddenly asked with a cold expression, "Renee, do you think you have nothing to be afraid of now?"

I was surprised and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

He pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

I didn't understand what he meant but knowing him, he was threatening me. Hence, I asked, "What are you going to do?"

He abruptly bent down and looked at me with his deep eyes. His fingers gently caressed my cheek as he said softly, "I don't want to deal with you. However, if I don't do it, you'll think that I'm an indifferent person. Renee, the days ahead are long, and so is your life. I hope we will not continue making mistakes."

To that, I quickly asked, "What are you going to do?"

He chuckled in response. "Take a guess."

I was stunned.

After saying those words, Nicholas left.

He threatened me before he left.

I didn't know what exactly he was going to do.

However, his attitude told me he won't easily give up.

I sighed tiredly and didn't feel sleepy anymore. I walked to the window and saw Nicholas drive away in his black Maybach.

I suddenly remembered what Chairman Forger had said, and he was right. Nicholas was the one who accompanied me for three years and gave me emotions.

He had a place in my heart that I couldn't remove.

At this point, I wouldn't want to touch the twins even with a ten foot pole.

I would bury the memories of Christopher calling me a little girl in my heart. I would never dig it out again in this lifetime, and I would stop having hopes about it anymore.

I suddenly wanted to leave Bryxton.

It was meaningless to come back here.

It only served the purpose of putting me into a more embarrassing situation.

I closed my eyes, feeling utterly terrible.

How could the situation be this messy?

How could I think of Nicholas when I actually loved Christopher?

I bit my lip and immediately picked up my phone to book a flight.

I could not stay in Bryxton any longer.

I would leave and hide for a while.

The following day, I packed up and went to the airport. Instead of returning to Sundew, I went to my mother's hometown, Eldham.

Eldham was close to Bryxton, so it shared the same gloomy weather. I found a hotel to stay in, then I called Merlin Craig.

I didn't know Merlin well, but he was still my friend. He said that I must call him when I arrived in Eldham.

He was surprised when he picked up my call. "Are you in Eldham now?"
