"How can I truly love you if in reality I don't remember anything?" Erland asked firmly but softly. "I don't even know how to treat myself, I don't know anything!" He continued, patting his chest."I thought you fell in love with me again," Tiffany said sadly.Erland was just silent."I thought I could make you fall in love with me again... Because you were so sweet... So I felt unafraid to get pregnant again," Tiffany said, wiping away her tears. "But today I found out everything, you were just lying to me... I don't know what changed you... You came back in such a bad mood...""Or maybe you're the one lying to me," Erland interrupted Tiffany before she finished her sentence. "I once heard a story about a girl who lost her memory but still loved her lover even though she didn't remember him. It's a sign that love truly comes from the heart, not the mind. But I don't know why I still can't love you even though there's so much evidence that you're my wife... I don't understand... I don
Sacramento...At 2 pm, Maelie was still struggling with the twins who refused to take a nap. They were happily playing in the living room with their cousin who was actually in their teens. They were a boy and a girl named Elsa and Dante, all of them at home because it was still the weekend."Mae, you can go to sleep. Let them stay with us," Elsa, who looked pretty and slender with slightly wavy blonde hair, said.Maelie quickly got up from the sofa after almost an hour of lying there, playing with her phone."Okay, please watch over them. I'll go see Amanda," she said, then went to find Amanda in her room....Amanda was still busy watching a video on her laptop, showing a woman explaining how to become a content creator. She had a small notebook, occasionally jotting down what the woman mentioned as tools for becoming a content creator."Hey."Her attention shifted to Maelie, who entered her cramped room with only a bed, a wardrobe, a vanity table, one window, and no bathroom, so the
Amanda was taken aback, looking at Tommy with confusion, unsure of what to do at that moment. While she had been avoiding encounters with Erland, she never expected to run into someone he trusted who had once been close to her."Can we talk?" Tommy asked."Um..." Amanda swallowed hard, shifting her gaze to her shopping bags. "I need to get home.""I'll drive you.""I have my uncle's car with me, you don't need to drive me," Amanda said anxiously, quickly grabbing her large cloth bag of groceries and heading towards the door.Quickly, George walked to the door and opened it for Amanda, but at that moment, Tommy also stepped out, following Amanda until they reached the car."I need your explanation," Tommy said.Amanda remained silent, opening her car door and about to get in, but Tommy immediately grabbed her hand, making her face him..."Please," Tommy pleaded with a melancholic gaze. "If you're afraid, we can talk in the car... I think it's better than me following you to your uncle'
Tommy stopped his car in front of Teddy's house, quickly got out, and followed Amanda into the house carrying her shopping bags. He looked around, noticing the silence, but distant voices of children could be heard from another room."Are those Maelie's kids?""Yeah, I guess they don't want to nap."Amanda continued into another room, leaving Tommy in the living room. He sat on the dark blue sofa, but was soon startled by a boy running from another room. He smiled as the boy stopped and looked at him in surprise, clutching his own hands."Hey," he greeted."Tommy," Maelie came from another room carrying Ava, looking at Tommy seriously."Ma'am..." Tommy quickly stood up. "Oh, sorry... Mae." He smiled awkwardly, feeling a bit nervous calling her by her usual name when she was Erland's wife."Are these your kids?" He glanced at Aiden who immediately ran to hug Maelie's leg, while Ava hugged her neck, both looking scared."Yes..." Maelie nodded, swallowing nervously, her mind immediately
"How can I trust you?" Teddy asked suspiciously. "You even helped Erland carry out his plan to deceive Maelie and our family... Claiming to be single but having a wife... And there's a possibility that his wife is from a dangerous family... Your involvement in his actions makes it hard for me to trust you!"Tommy sighed, feeling confused as Teddy's words shattered his confidence, making him realize his mistake."Sorry for that..." He nodded. "I admit my mistake... Believe it or not, I won't bring trouble into this family again. I just want to be friends with Maelie and Amanda... And this has nothing to do with Erland."Teddy sighed."I want you to swear never to tell Erland about anything you know here," he said.Tommy fell silent, swallowing hard."If you can swear as I want, I won't stand in your way," Teddy said again."Alright...." Tommy nodded firmly. "I swear, I won't tell Erland about Maelie or Amanda... Besides, I have no business with him anymore.""A hard-to-believe oath!" T
Several days passed.Erland wore a black jacket matching a white t-shirt and black jeans, along with a small crossbody bag for his essentials, white and black shoes, and a coffee-scented perfume. the man looked so dashing and handsome, ready to go. but where will he go?"Are you really leaving?""Yes, of course," Erland replied, seeing Tiffany, who had just arrived with a cup of coffee on a small plate. "I've postponed it for a few days. So, I can't delay it any longer.""But I need you," Tiffany murmured, walking towards the bed and sitting on the edge."Oh come on..." Erland furrowed his brow, approaching Tiffany and taking her coffee. "I've been with you, doing what you want..." He quickly drank his coffee.Tiffany fell silent, staring at Erland, handsome yet always seeming to consider her unimportant, even though he couldn't recall their past.“Why are you looking at me like that?” Erland asked, smiling thinly."Don't you have any desire for me?" Tiffany countered. "Like... Like m
"What's wrong with you?" Leo asked, furrowing his brow.Instead, Tiffany looked down at her fingers, recalling Erland's attitude and response after learning about their second pregnancy, but she felt too embarrassed to admit it to Leo.'He might laugh at me, or even hate me,' she thought to herself.Leo fell silent, still watching Tiffany, sensing that something was amiss until he sighed heavily and reached for her right hand."Come here..." He slowly pulled her, letting her stand up again and guiding her to sit on his lap.Tiffany's heart raced, Leo's tenderness enveloping her in the comfort and beauty of the love she had longed for."You look so different now, thin and weak," Leo whispered as he looked at Tiffany's face, then brushed aside a strand of hair covering her cheek. "You have to tell me what happened. Don't tell me my sacrifices were in vain...""I don't know..." Tiffany muttered, her gaze filled with anxiety."Has his memory returned and he's starting to ignore you?" Leo
"After accompanying Amanda for hours of shopping, having to visit several electronic stores, Tommy finally invited Amanda for lunch at an outdoor cafe. The man sat casually, alternating between eating a chicken burrito, spaghetti, eggs, and french fries, occasionally taking sips of soft drink.Amanda laughed as she watched Tommy continuously stuff french fries into his mouth, which was still full of food."Are you hungry or just fond of them?" she asked.Tommy immediately smiled sheepishly. "Um... I'm really hungry... I didn't have time for breakfast.""Sorry for rushing you and making you forget your breakfast.""It's okay, as long as I've eaten now."Amanda took a tissue and reached out to wipe the corners of Tommy's lips, which were slightly stained with sauce and mayonnaise."Eh..." Tommy immediately blushed, not knowing how to react. "Um... sorry.""It's okay..." Amanda smiled. "You're cute.""Eh... This is embarrassing." Tommy quickly grabbed another tissue and hurriedly wiped h
