Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456

I couldn’t afford to take any risk, but I still hadn’t found anyone who resembled Irvin.

It made me think of what William had said.

After tossing and turning all night, I called him and asked to meet so we could discuss things in detail.

We arranged to meet at a private dining restaurant. It was the most famous private restaurant in Lestoría, with a beautifully crafted antique interior, offering a picturesque scene at every corner.

But no scenery could compare to how William looked as he sat by the window, sipping tea. He was so handsome that everyone who stood in front of him would feel inferior and insecure. It was like he deserved the best of everything in this world.

Someone like him made even me, who was usually confident, feel like I wasn’t worthy of him. He deserved to have love that was exclusive to him alone.

I had spent the whole night thinking about how I could work with him to make Noah completely give up on me and start his new life, while also protecting the babies growing inside me.

But I didn’t dare to imagine actually being with William, becoming a true husband and wife.

When he saw me, he smiled. Out of instinct, he wanted to pour me tea, but then he remembered I was in the early stages of pregnancy, and it would be better for me to drink plain water.

So, he put down the teapot and poured me a glass of water.

After sitting down, I just stared at him.

Even though I had already figured out what to say on my way here, the moment I met his eyes, I didn’t know where to start.

He didn’t rush me and just looked at me gently.

I held the glass tightly in my hands for a long time before finally saying, “Mr. Ashford, I only want to have a contractual marriage with you, not a real one. And I only want to be married for a year. After the babies are born, we’ll file for divorce. I know I’m being really selfish. I…”

I trailed off, unsure how to continue. After all, no matter how I phrased it, I was simply using him.

Even though this could help Noah move on and start a new life, he was also like a brother to me. I shouldn’t use that as a reason for my help. Instead, I should be willingly helping him to start anew.

Before I could figure out how to continue, William smiled and said, “Sure. We’ll just have a contractual marriage, not a real one.” He knew how deep my feelings for Irvin were. So, all he wanted was just a chance to start. He didn’t expect to have everything

right away.

I froze for a moment, not expecting him to agree so easily.

“When I snapped out of my daze, the guilt hit me even harder. “I’m sorry, Mr. Ashford. If you ever need anything from me, please let me know.”

He just smiled at me. Although he didn’t say a word, his eyes seemed to be saying that he only needed me to like him back.
