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

"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

Maelie hurried away, not wanting to engage in any more interaction with Erland. Things were already too complicated now; she feared there would be many problems in the future if Erland were to remember her. Yet, she still wanted to stay in the shop longer. She hadn’t even gotten clothes for her child yet, but she had to leave now.“Wait, don’t go yet,” Erland grabbed Maelie’s hand quite firmly, pulling her closer. Now, there was only an inch between them; their noses were almost touching, and Erland could hear Maelie’s irregular breath. They stared at each other; Erland didn’t look away, while Maelie couldn’t hold Erland’s gaze any longer. She lowered her eyes because her heart was suddenly pounding. Maelie wanted to hug Erland tightly, and bury her face in his chest; it would have been so comforting for her. But she couldn’t do that; she had to keep her distance from Erland so he wouldn’t know she was his wife.“I…I have to leave now because…” Maelie didn’t finish her sentence, but E

Erland immediately held his bleeding nose, staring at Tommy with full hatred."You still don't understand!" Tommy exclaimed angrily. "You... You are the source of her suffering... You're a liar, you're unworthy of her!" he continued, panting.Erland remained silent, clenching his fists, his breath racing."You don't know!" Tommy shouted again. "She's been keeping her distance all this time to find peace, to escape from the cruelty of your family, and you can't do anything... You can't calm her down... You only make her afraid, even until today!""It's useless for you to explain to me," Erland said softly as his emotions slowly subsided. "I don't remember anything... I just want to get close to her again and do my duty as her husband... I want to give our children love... You can't stop me, no one can... Even if my family or Tiffany tries something dangerous, it won't stop me. I'm not stupid... I can protect them!" he continued, occasionally tapping his chest."It's not that simple, fo

"Sis ... I hope you won't do anything foolish like before," Amanda said with a serious look.Maelie fell silent, with a disappointed look; Amanda's words truly hurt her."If you think my actions are foolish, then you shouldn't follow me... You can enjoy your life freely!" she exclaimed in frustration, then quickly walked towards her room and slammed the door shut.Amanda frowned, feeling strange about Maelie's attitude. 'Did I say something bad? did I say something wrong? isn't everything true? I... I just don't want her to drag into the old problem!'..."Mama!""Mum!"Ava and Aiden, who were playing on the carpet, were startled, seeing their mother immediately placing the shopping bags on the bed and sitting down."Mama ... What's happening?" Aiden approached Maelie."It's Okay, Honey." Maelie smiled, looking at Aiden's cute face, reminiscent of Erland."But you closed the door so loudly.""Um ... It's okay. I didn't mean to do that. Keep playing with your sibling," Maelie said, car
