Maybe it was really Dylan’s warning that had an effect. Julian hadn’t shown up in front of us for a long time.
In the past couple of days, for some reason, Dylan had been unusually eager to get close to
Later, I found out that he was going on a business trip for a week.
When he was going to leave, I was still curled up in bed. Not for any particular reason, just because he had worn me out.
He gave me a helpless kiss on the chook and then proceeded to remind me of a million things.
I couldn’t sleep because he kept talking, so I just mumbled that I got it and nodded.
He gently pinched my chook. “I really don’t want to go on this trip.”
Hearing him say that, I stiffened.
I quickly threw off the blankot, and dressed hastily, afraid he might try something again. He smiled helplessly and left.
He hadn’t been gone long when my phone started ringing non–stop.
I thought he might have forgotten something, so I picked up the phone.
But the person on the other end just stayed silent. It took a while before I heard someone say my name. “Avery.”
Hearing Julian’s voice, I instinctively frowned, ready to hang up the call.
“Avery, can we meet? I’ll make you remember everything.”
everything.”
I agreed, curious to see what he would do to make me remember.
When I arrived, he tried to hold my hand.
I avoided his hand and sat directly across from him.
“What’s this?”
I couldn’t help but laugh a little at his serious expression.
He opened a box, revealing a bunch of items.
“Avery, do you remember this doll? It’s the first one we won from the claw machine.
This tie, it’s the first tie you bought for me.
Do you remember this watch? Even though it’s broken now, this was the first watch I gave you.”
I looked at the man sitting in front of me.
He pulled out these items one by one and told me about our beautiful memories.
He knew we had once been so happy.
Yes, I did remember it all.
But at the same time, I also remembered his countless late nights and his indifference toward me.

But at the same time, I also remembered his countless late nights and his indifference
toward me.
In front of others, he would shout at me, thinking it made people believe I would listen to
everything he said.
When I looked at him again, I couldn’t help but feel disgusted.
But I held it in.
I said flatly, “Sorry, I still don’t remember. Maybe these really aren’t that important.”
He looked so downcast,
“Avery, give me one more chance, please. I’ll make you remember me.”
His persistence only made me feel sick because I really didn’t want to see him again.
“So what if I do remember? Why are you so sure that if I do, I’ll get back together with you?”
He paused for a moment. “Avery, you haven’t really forgotten about me, have you?”
I didn’t answer him. I grabbed my bag and walked out.
This time, he didn’t follow me. He lowered his head, looking lost in thought.
But I had no intention of caring about him anymore.
He stayed quiet for two days, but then he started buying me a bouquet of flowers every day.
At first, I thought it was Dylan sending them. But when I found out it was Julian, I immediately
threw them away.
He stopped working, following me around like a stalker.
He kept trailing behind me, hoping I would glance at him.
Watching him carefully follow me made me laugh.
Once, he’d forgotten all our anniversaries for the sake of work.
I understood he was busy, but my patience and compromises had never earned his regret.
Instead, they earned me the sight of him dancing closely with his so–called beautiful
business partner.
I asked him for an explanation. He impatiently told me it was just a little fun, and that I
shouldn’t think too much of it.
We had been together for almost four years.
During the four years I was in a relationship with Julian, he never once gave me a single
flower.
I asked him about it. He just impatiently said that he didn’t know how to make girls happy. He said he wasn’t good at those “silly things.”
But as soon as he finished saying that, he took his secretary, Sarah, to an amusement park.
They looked like a perfect match.
I called him to ask what he was doing. He calmly lied, saying he was working.
The boy who used to blush if he said something wrong in front of me, now could lie withc even flinching.
I guessed he must have developed feelings for Sarah.

The boy who used to blush if he said something wrong in front of me, now could lie without even flinching.
I guessed he must have developed feelings for Sarah.
When the company launched a new product, he only remembered to celebrate Sarah’s
birthday, completely forgetting the celebratory dinner we had planned at home.
I spent the whole afternoon preparing a big meal.
But then, he called to apologize, saying he might not be able to come home early.
“Go ahead and sleep,” he told me.
I looked at the untouched food, once piping hot and now ice cold. Even the anger and questions inside me had vanished in his repeated indifference.
On social media, Sarah posted pictures of the carefully prepared birthday party.
Suddenly, I felt both pathetic and ridiculous.
He, along with everyone else, had been fooling me, spinning me in circles.
I was tired of his endless excuses.
I couldn’t understand why someone who once seemed to be all about me had suddenly become someone I didn’t even recognize.
Finally, I decided to give him one last chance.
When he asked me to accompany him, I canceled my work and rushed over.
If he was still the same when I arrived, then I would break up with him.
When I arrived at the hotel suite door, I heard Julian’s voice.
“A loyal puppy who comes at my beck and call is cheaper than those bar girls out there.”
Laughter erupted all around. At that moment, I completely gave up.
Something that was never there at the beginning, how could I expect it to appear during the
process?
It was like the flower I had been longing for, which never appeared even when I was completely disheartened.
Now, looking at him in this state of remorse, I suddenly felt like I wasn’t worth it. I felt sorry for
myself.
I didn’t pay him any attention.
Instead, I focused on myself.
Although the past few years had passed in a blur, I had managed to save some money.
I bought a small house for myself. The moment I received the property deed, I finally let out a
sigh of relief.
As for my relationship with Dylan, I decided to take it one step at a time.
I never expected that he would confess his love for me while I was suffering from amnesia.
For me, after breaking up with Julian, starting a new relationship wasn’t such a bad idea.

But during the week Dylan was away on business, he barely contacted me.
This made me uneasy. I was so afraid of repeating the same mistakes.
So I decided to leave his villa and go back to my own place.
While packing my things, the door suddenly opened from the outside.
My hand froze, and before I could even put down the things I was holding, a warm body
pressed against my back.
“Avery, what are you doing?”
He buried his head in my neck like before, rubbing against me insistently, like a big puppy.
His actions made me unbearably ticklish. I gently pushed him away.
“I’m just going to take these clothes to wash,” I said, but in my mind, I was already planning
how to tell him that I was moving out.
However, he misheard.
“Are you going to take a shower? Let’s shower together.”
Before I could refuse, he scooped me up and carried me into the bathroom.
His warm hands touched my skin, causing my face to flush.
After he took off his clothes, I didn’t know where to look.
Soon, he did it again, and I could feel my body surrendering to him.
I was spinning, overwhelmed by sensations as day and night seemed to blur together. All I could hear was his voice, whispering in my ear, calling me ungrateful, pushing me closer to the
edge.
I woke up the next afternoon.
As soon as I made a sound, he came running into the bedroom wearing an apron.
“Have you woken up? Just in time, let’s eat.”
He smiled brightly, in a particularly good mood.
I thought, if he had a tail, it would probably be wagging.
I didn’t think much of it; I just got up to brush my teeth and eat.
The meal was delicious, and I ate heartily because he had worn me out the night before.
He watched me with gentle eyes, a tenderness that was hard to ignore.
“Someone sent flowers this morning. I saw you were still sleeping, and since I’m allergic to pollen, I left them outside the door. Do you want to take a look?”
He asked casually, pretending not to care.
I gave him a mischievous smile.
“No need, I’ll just throw them out when I take the trash out later.”
He seemed relieved, his expression softening.
“By the way, I’m planning to move out soon.”
“By the way, I’m planning to move out soon.”
