You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 216

The thing in Rowane's hands was actually Nathan's watch. After she had picked it the night before, she cleaned it thoroughly before putting it beside her pillow while she slept.

While doing so, Rowane kept telling herself it was because she was worried that Nathan's watch would go missing and she meant nothing more. However, when she had woken up earlier that day, she had been so frightened that she had broken out in cold sweat due to a dream.

In the dream, Nathan had walked towards her with a smile. He took her hand and asked her in his gentle voice if she would like to replace Irene as his girlfriend. When she agreed without much hesitation, Nathan's expression changed abruptly. He pushed her aside, pointed at her and scolded her that she was not worthy of being his woman, and that she looked too highly of herself.

It all became clear to her. Deep inside her heart, she had fallen for Nathan, thus she craved for his attention. So, she quickly realized that she was letting her imagination run wild as she remembered Nathan's fiancee. Even if the man was not engaged, she was not worthy of him at all, since she did not even have a clear family background.

When she saw Nathan a few minutes ago, she was immediately reminded of her childish behavior on the day prior. She felt both ashamed and insecure and was afraid that Nathan would think badly of her. When he invited her to go pick a dress for his fiancee, she was devastated. The string of complicated emotions made her extremely upset.

With the cold metal of Nathan's watch pressed against her chest, Rowane's heart trembled a little. She furiously shook her head, "Jodie, stop! Nathan is just your savior! He's so nice to treat you like he does now, so how could you think of him like that? What you should do is wish him all the best with his fiancee, and that he would forever be happy and grow old with her.

After taking a few deep breaths, she cast away the sadness on her face and quickly changed her clothes. She put on a smile before going out.

When she was out of the villa, Nathan explained to Rowane that his car had broken down and it had been sent for repairs. He did not want to have another car from his home as it would be very troublesome and decided to take a taxi instead.

The taxi carrying them dropped them off at the mall. Nathan brought Rowane to the women's clothing department, pointed at the colorful clothes around them and said, "You're also a woman, so I'm sure your taste will be better than mine. Help me pick a few that you think are nice. I'll pick again from there."

Although Rowane came from an average family, she had been showered with all kinds of clothes during her relationship with Edric, setting her standards to a new level. She now knew what she should wear to accentuate her beauty.

Although she had now lost her memory, her taste was not affected. After just one turn around the department, her eyes had already caught four dresses that would suit her. However, Nathan wanted to buy a dress for his fiancee, not her. Would Nathan be disappointed if his fiancee did not like her choices?

Thinking of that, Rowane asked him, "Nathan, do you have a photo of your fiancee on your phone? If you do, could you let me take a look at her? I want to see how she looks so that I can choose a chest that will suit her aura."

"You're right. I think I have a recent picture of her. Here, have a look,"Truth be told, when Nathan had first started dating Irene, he had always accompanied to buy her dresses. He knew all of her measurements and styles that she liked. The reason he was at the mall with Rowane at the moment was just an excuse for him to bring Rowane to the White Mansion for dinner. Of course, he did want to buy a dress for Irene and since Rowane wanted to look at a picture of her, he would show it to her.

Nathan showed Rowane a picture of Irene and Eden. Rowane took the phone over and looked at it carefully. Upon seeing that Irene shared an uncanny resemblance to her own face, her heart skipped a beat, just like that the previous day when she first heard her name. An awfully familiar feeling surfaced.

How could it be? Why was she having weird feelings upon seeing Nathan's fiancee? Was it because both she and Nathan's fiancee fell for the same person or simply because they looked the same? Was that the reason why she was sensitive towards Irene?

"Jodie, are you okay?" Nathan was worried when he saw Rowane's sudden change of expression. She had become absent-minded all of a sudden.

Rowane regained her composure and forced a smile, "Yes, I'm fine. I was just taken aback by how Irene and I look so similar."

"Yes, I've told you that before."

"Who is this little boy?" Rowane pointed at Eden.

"That's Irene's son."

Rowane was shocked as she did not expect Irene to already have a son. She wanted to ask Nathan why he would fall for a woman who was already a mother, but she held back. She knew that it would make her sound rude.

Naturally, Nathan would not explain anything by himself. He took back his phone and said, "Can you choose the clothes now?"

"Yes," Rowane smiled and walked around the department again. In the end, she selected a few new sets of clothing.
