Chapter 96
“It’s okay, wait for me outside,” Audrey reassured Lonnie.
After Lonnie left, the door was closed again.
Audrey turned to face Nathan, who was approaching her. She said, “I never thought you would resort to such gangster tactics!”
“I used to deal with things like this. You just never saw this side of me.” Nathan stood in front of Audrey. He casually picked up the ashtray on the table and extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
Audrey’s pupils trembled slightly, and she stared at him without blinking
Seeing Audrey’s expression change, Nathan explained, “Yes, I remember now. Like you calling me” sweetie‘ in private, like the ring I gave you by the seaside, like the blooming roses behind the school wall… and that kiss.”
Audrey clenched her fists, and her eyes became teary in an instant.
Although Nathan had regained his memory, her heart felt even colder.
“But those memories don’t matter to you anymore, do they?” Audrey looked at Nathan coldly and said, “Even if you remember, what’s most important to you is still Amelia. Even Charles is more important to you than those memories. You love Amelia more than anything, right?”
Nathan was irritated by Audrey’s indifference.
“Yes!” he retorted defiantly. “So, I advise you to stop now. I can send those who bullied your sister, including that minor, to prison. But not Charles!”
“Don’t you know he was the mastermind?” Audrey’s voice raised.
“So what if he was? No one can touch the people I want to protect!” Nathan stared at Audrey without any expression. “You should know, that I always fulfill my promises.”
The current Audrey looked very different from the fragments of memories in his mind. The Audrey in his memories seemed to be rounder and more childish, more outgoing

However, her eyes were still determined and bright, as if nothing had changed.
Seeing Audrey’s red eyes, Nathan felt uncomfortable in his chest. He frowned, rubbing his hands in his pockets, and threatened according to the rehearsed lines in his mind, “You better take my words. seriously!”
“If you’ve remembered the past, then you should also know that once I decide on something, I won’t easily give up,” Audrey’s gaze became heavy.
Nathan took a half step closer to Audrey. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear,

goes to prison, the whole Yeomans family in your village will know about your relationship with Ryan! They will also know where your biological grandfather is, and that pitiful woman who was assaulted nine times. Whether it’s photos or past experiences, everything will be exposed to the public
“Smack!”
Before Nathan could finish his sentence, he was slapped so hard that his head turned to the other side.
Audrey’s whole body was trembling. After that slap, her hand felt numb. Her tears flowed down uncontrollably.
As Nathan admitted to regaining his memory, something that had been haunting Audrey and preventing her from letting go of the past suddenly dissipated.
Originally, she always thought that it was Nathan losing his memory that made him treat her so badly.
She believed that when Nathan eventually regained his memories, he’d return to her side again.
They grew up together, from getting to know each other to getting married after 12 years.
Nathan knew about everything she had been through. It was with a love so intense it was suffocating, that he healed–Audrey’s insecurities and lack of love.
But she never expected that one day…
