Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 452

Chapter 452

In contrast to Irvin’s agony, Grace was happy.

Maybe she just had a twisted nature where she couldn’t stand seeing others have what she couldn’t, especially if it benefited her. And even if it didn’t, Grace would probably still rather suffer than see someone else happy with it.

However, once her happiness faded, her mind quickly turned to the possibility that I might be pregnant.

Grace wouldn’t allow anything to disrupt her plan. And aside from the babies growing in her belly, she absolutely refused to allow other Hardwell children to exist.

That being said, Grace knew she was being watched very closely right now. She knew frvin would easily notice any move she made and any action she took toward me. And if that happened, her entire plan could fall apart right before the finish line.

Because of this risk, Grace didn’t dare make any rash moves. But the more she thought about it, the more she feared that I might have conceived that night. After returning home, this fear gnawed at her and caused her to toss and turn all night.

Grace couldn’t do anything, but she knew she had to do something Just as she was agonizing over what to do, she suddenly thought of the masked man from that night.

She recalled what he had told her when they were parting ways. The masked man had said that if something she couldn’t handle ever came up, she could contact him.

She abruptly sat up in bed at this memory.

Grace didn’t know why the masked man was helping her so much, or why he had said that to her. But instinctively, she could tell he had meant it. She knew if she really went to him for help, he would actually help her

Their interests were aligned, after all. And the masked man…

Grace’s gaze suddenly darkened when she thought of the sense of familiarity he had given her. In the end, she took out her phone and asked to meet with him face–to–face the following day

The next day, Grace followed the masked man’s instructions and met him at a luxury apartment in the heart of Lestoria’s busiest district.

As before, the man still wore a mask. He was cleaning an intricately engraved handgun when Grace arrived. Her eyes flickered at the sight of the live rounds.

When he heard her enter, the masked man didn’t even look up from what he was doing. He merely continued meticulously wiping down the gun in his hands.

It was clear to see that he cherished the weapon. The masked man polished the gun until it gleamed. Only then d his gaze toward Grace, signaling she could speak.

She told him she suspected I was pregnant and wanted to verify this. If I were, Grace wanted him to ensure the child in my womb would be dealt with.

The masked man raised an eyebrow at this. “Yeah, her pregnancy needs to be dealt with if she really is. But you could’ve just told me something like this over the phone. There was no need for us to meet in person.”

Grace didn’t respond. Instead, she studied him intently. After a long time, she said, “Timothy.”

The masked man wasn’t surprised to hear that name. Not only that he even smiled in amusement as he looked at her.

“Took you long enough to recognize me, my dear wife. You really haven’t been paying enough attention to me.”

As the masked man spoke, he reached toward his mask and removed it, revealing a face that was identical to Irvin’s. Despite this, he gave off a completely different feeling.

Simply put, Irvin and Timothy were like polar opposites. If Irvin was light, then Timothy was darkness.

Grace stared at the man before her, unable to describe what she was feeling. She had mulled it over last night. And the more she did, the more she suspected the masked man was Timothy, who hadn’t actually died.

“But despite her suspicions, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She was staring at a man who had been believed to be dead for two years. Yet, here Timothy was, still very much alive and well

Her emotions were in so much turmoil that she couldn’t even pinpoint what she was feeling. Additionally, her thoughts were so chaotic that she didn’t know what to think of this revelation.

In the end, she could only utter the question she wanted answered most. “Why are you pretending to be dead when you’re not?”

Chapter 453

Timothy lazily leaned back in his chair and lit a cigar. It was only after he puffed out a smoke ring did he speak. “Of course, it’s because I want to use Irvin as free labor and take advantage of his identity while at it.”

Grace and Timothy might not have had a loving marriage, but it had been passable.

They had been husband and wife for years, and she had always believed she understood him fairly well. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to recognize him.

That being said, as she stared at Timothy before her, Grace felt as though she hadn’t truly known him.

She was a smart woman. So, of course, she knew why Timothy had called Irvin “free labor“. After all, Irvin was living as Timothy right now.”

In simple terms, it didn’t matter what Irvin did or how hard he worked to earn Magnus‘ approval. Because as long as the real Timothy appeared, without lifting a finger, he could claim everything Irvin had worked hard to build.

However, Grace didn’t understand why Timothy had faked his death just to use Irvin. Forget about not telling her, he hadn’t even told his own mother.

At this thought, she couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have any idea how much pain Agatha went through because of your death?”

Grace had ever only cared about her own interests. However, after being cared for by Agatha, even someone like her couldn’t keep from developing genuine affection for the woman. She even wanted to see Agatha live well.

Timothy was Agatha’s flesh and blood. He was the son she treasured more than her own life. Yet, he had been cruel enough to hurt her so deeply.

Grace continued, “If I hadn’t stayed by her side every second of the day, she would’ve actually died—more than once!”

Agatha had lost the will to live after the news of Timothy’s death. Because of this, in the days that followed, Grace hadn’t left her side for a single moment. Even then, Grace had nearly failed to stop her from ending her life.

By saying this, Grace thought she would at least stir up some guilt in Timothy.

But instead, he was utterly unfazed. Not only that, he even callously said, “My death would’ve seemed real only if she had. Otherwise, people might start to suspect I was still alive.”
