Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 544

When Ava called me "Aunt Emi", Noah's expression shifted for a moment.

He had come to Claudeville after hearing that things weren't going well between Irvin and me. Especially after our divorce, he had often dreamed of being with me and bringing me home to introduce me to his family.

Those dreams were just like this, warm and joyful. In them, his bedridden sister was healthy again, and his uncle supported our relationship, blessing us with warmth and love.

And now, that dream had come true. But he wasn't in it.

He had come to terms with it. He knew love couldn't be forced, and he genuinely wanted the best for William and me. But still, he couldn't stop the ache in his heart.

Why couldn't it be him instead?

He was so in love with me and wanted it so badly.

But that was how life worked. The more one wanted something, the harder it was to get it. And the more unreachable it was, the more one desired it, making it harder to stop caring or let go completely.

After dinner, Noah and William went into the study to talk.

Just as I was about to head back to my room, the housekeeper came over to tell me that Henry wanted to talk to me about Ava's treatment.

I knew he was using Ava to threaten me. He was afraid that I wouldn't want to meet him. The message was clear. If I refused, something might go wrong with her treatment.
