Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 396

I didn’t know if Gideon was already getting busy. Normally, he would answer right away whenever I called him, but this time the phone rang for quite a while before he finally picked up.

“Emi.” His voice was still as sweet and tender as ever, just like usual.

However, knowing that he was probably holding another woman in his arms while speaking to me in that same gentle tone, it stirred up a mix of indescribable emotions in me.

Maybe men and women were just inherently different.

As a woman, I believe that if you truly love e someone, you wouldn’t want to hold anyone else.

But Gideon was different. He claimed to love me so much that he felt like he was living his dream, yet he could still hold another

woman in his arms.

Or maybe, he never truly loved me. Maybe it was just an obsession

He came from a good family where he was used to getting everything he wanted. Perhaps the fact that he couldn’t have the woman he fell in love with at first sight made him want me more.

“Since I’m feeling restless and can’t fall asleep, I thought we could all go to the hot spring together. You can come over, and the four of us can go together, then head to City Hall in the morning.”

Hearing this, William gave me a questioning look and raised his eyebrow, as if asking why I was still giving Gideon a chance after everything.

I lowered my gaze and didn’t respond. I simply waited for Gideon’s answer in silence.

I was the one who had proposed getting married, so I needed a proper reason to suddenly back out.

On the other end of the line, Gideon was feeling torn.

If I had said I wanted him to come over and sleep with me tonight, he probably would have dropped everything and come over immediately.

But what I proposed was going to the hot spring with friends.

So he didn’t want to waste his last chance to get “even” with me.

Although we weren’t married for love, I had clearly told him when agreed

If he ever stopped wanting this marriage or fell for someone else, he could just tell me, and we would get a divorce.
