Murphy Morris slammed his hands on the table and bellowed, “Can’t you see that she doesn’t even like
you? You’ve been sucking up to her since the past month. But how did she treat you? You weren’t even
that nice towards your own father! Even I have never gone after a woman so desperately. I’m ashamed
of you!”
Levant paused for a while before replying in displeasure, “That is because she met Evan before she
met me. If I were the one she met first, I’m sure it’s me whom she will fall in love with!”
Murphy was at a loss for words.
He sneered, “You just aren’t going to give up, are you?”
He kept silent for a moment before continuing, “Okay then. Why not you create the opportunity for
yourself to meet her first before Evan? Let’s see if she will like you. If she doesn’t, then you can forget
about her!”
Levant couldn’t quite understand Murphy. He raised his head and looked at him in puzzlement. “Create
an opportunity? You mean, we can try to modify the past?”
From Levant’s words, Murphy could tell that the young man was determined to pursue Nicole. He
sighed and reminded him, “Stephen was able to make you forget about everything. Do you think I can’t
do the same to his daughter too? It’s only an eye for an eye.”
The emotions in Levant’s eyes were burning with great intensity.
Should I let Nicole forget about everything and have a fresh start with me?
Levant concluded that it wasn’t such a bad idea at all.
Three days later.
At the Musgrave Estate.
Nicole was on a swing in the garden. Her face was full of glee as she flew high into the air and dove
back down.
From a vantage point, Stephen Musgrave was watching his beloved daughter. A tender smile broke out
on his face.
Nicole was Stephen and Rosalie Wells’ child. She was also Stephen’s only daughter. Thus, Stephen
only wished for her happiness.
“Sir, Levant is here!”
Stephen’s eyes darkened. He knew Levant was here to visit his daughter. Still, he mumbled, “Let him
in.”
“Roger that, Sir.”
Levant walked into Stephen’s study and immediately found the burly man at the window. He zoned out
for a second before telling Stephen the purpose of his visit.
“It’s quite a sunny day. I want to take Nicole out for a stroll.”
Stephen clenched his fingers tight in the dark.
Nicole suffered from memory loss after consuming Murphy’s pills. Now, only Murphy himself had the
cure for her amnesia.
Stephen had tried to treat her condition with acupuncture but it was useless.
Thus, the only way he could wake Nicole up was to agree to Levant’s terms.
What Levant wanted was to spend a year with Nicole.
If Nicole still couldn’t fall in love with him after a year, then Levant would give Nicole the remedy for her
memory loss and stay out of her path forever.
If Nicole fell in love with him, they would get married. All of Nicole’s past would be erased and kept
hidden from her.
Even though Stephen didn’t want any of that to happen, he was at his wits’ end.
At the moment, Nicole’s old self seemed to have entered a deep eternal slumber. She could remember
nothing about Evan.
To her, Evan was a stranger. At this point in time, Nicole’s future was all up to herself.
Stephen spat out bitterly, “Levant, don’t forget about the promise you made me!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt her. I will love her with all of my heart. That said, I also hope you will
remember your promise to not bring up anything from her past.”
“Rest assured. For one whole year, I won’t tell her anything about her past.”
“Alright.”
Levant strode out of the study and headed for the garden. Nicole furrowed her brows upon seeing
Levant. “It’s you again?”
That man had visited her too many times for her comfort in the past week.
There was a dazzling smile on Levant’s face. “I am your future husband. You shouldn’t treat me this
way.”
Nicole writhed her lips. She couldn’t recall anything after losing her memory in a serious illness. She
didn’t remember having a fiancé at all.
“Nicole, today’s weather is beautiful. Let’s go out for a walk.”
Nicole scrunched her brows as she mulled over his invitation. She realized she had been caged up in
the estate for the past few days, and it was indeed getting boring for her. With that in mind, she agreed.
“Alright, let me change my clothes before we take off.”
She went to her wardrobe and picked a simple pink dress and a matching cardigan. After changing into
her fresh clothes, she put on some light makeup. Once she was satisfied with how she looked, she left
her quarters.
