Chapter 231
Iryin knew doing so would only drive me further away, so he had to wait patiently until I regained my memories. Once I did and remembered my love for him, things would then return to how they should rightfully be.
Besides, he believed he deserved to be punished and should suffer every time he recalled the photos of my injuries. So, in the end, his rationality overcame the beast within him.
“I can’t lock her up–doing so would only drive her further away from me. Emi is only being so resolute because she has lost her memories. She’ll remember how much she loved me when she regains them. And once that happens, she’ll definitely return to my side!” Irvin declared
A lightbulb turned on in Quinton’s head when he heard this. The things he hadn’t understood suddenly became clear to him.
“So that’s why she’s suddenly acting so heartless toward you! It’s because she’s lost her memories!” Quinton exclaimed. “I was wondering how she could have such a drastic change of heart.
He confidently added, “Since that’s the case, I don’t have to worry anymore! Just wait, Irvin! She’ll surely be filled with regret when she regains her memories. Then, she’ll come and beg you to marry her again!”
Quinton had initially been worried that I would take Irvin’s money and run away with another man. But now that he knew I had amnesia, he was no longer concerned.
I had loved and fawned over Irvin intensely in the past. Given this, Quinton thought Irvin wouldn’t need to do a thing if I regained my memory–I would automatically come running back to Irvin when that happened.
“No wonder you’re so calm, Irvin. It makes sense now!” Quinton said.
Grandma had joined us on our trip to Daiti. She watched as Noah carried all our bags and took care of everything without us asking.
Nudging me, she suggested, “He seems like a decent young man. Also, he’s handsome and has a sparkle in his eyes. Plus, he knows how to take care of people. Why don’t you consider him as your next marriage partner?”
I internally grimaced at this. The ink on my divorce certificate hadn’t even dried yet, and she was already thinking about my second marriage.
Grandma nudged me again when I didn’t respond.
“I’m being serious–you should think about it. He really does seem like a fine young man! Irvin was indeed a scoundrel, but you shouldn’t be afraid of getting married again just because of him. In life, you need to get married and have children. Otherwise, you’ll be pitifully alone when you’re old,” she softly said.
Grandma genuinely cared about me. She was concerned I would be in an unhappy marriage. At the same time, she also worried I would be miserable if I remained single. She also worried I wouldn’t have anyone to take care of me in my old age.
I understood her concern for me, and I also understood that she held the conventional values of her generation. However, putting aside that I had just ended my previous marriage, I wasn’t even considering a her marriage right now.
Besides, Noah wasn’t suitable–he was like a brother to me. I shouldn’t fish in my own pond
Just as I was about to say something, Grandma added, “Actually, it’s fine if you really don’t want to get married

again . Still , you must have at least one kid. And you definitely need to find someone handsome If you’re going to do so , which this young man is! ”
To put it simply, Grandma was a sucker for good looks, and Noah had them. That was why she was so insistent that he was a good man despite meeting him for the first time .

Smiling, I said, “I understand what you’re saying, Grandma and I will think about them. However , you can forget about it happening with Noah–he’s like a brother to me. I watched him grow up, so nothing could possibly happen between us.”
Then, I looped my arm through hers and changed the topic before she could respond.
After we left, the sparkle in eyes dimmed as he thought about what I had said.
