Chapter 23 +25 BONUS How could I not be angry ? Even if there was no love left between Jullan and me , the ft remained that he was still my husband .
Yet here he was , dating another woman , showering her with flowers and a diamond ring before our divorce was even finalized .
Any woman would be furious .
I could vividly Imagine how , before losing my memory , Chloes petty games had beaten me down time and time again , leaving me utterly defeated .
I told Dolly , Of course Im angry .
But getting angry only plays right into her hands .
Dont let it get to you either .
Lets just sit back and watch them dig their own grave .
Dolly was silent for a while before finally saying , Eve , my heart aches for you .
Her voice quivered .
Youre so good , so kind why cant Juban love you ? It just makes me so mad .
And Im even angrier that everyone seems blind to Chloes manipulative schemes .
I didnt respond , sinking into silence .
Dolly kept ranting on the other end , but I felt an unusual sense of calm wash over me .
Dolly , I said after a moment .
If you really care about me , stop bringing Julian up .
Dolly hesitated .
Eve , are you sure youre okay ? You used to forgive Julian no matter how awful he was .
But now youre so rational , Im honestly worried about you .
I sighed .
Maybe Im just tired .
What followed was me reassuring Dolly for what felt like forever , convincing her that I was fine .
My throat was dry by the time she finally believed me and accepted that I wasnt the same person I used to be .
The moment I hung up , my phone started vibrating again .
I frowned at the unfamiliar number .
Something in my gut told me not to answer .
1 glanced through my contacts only a handful of names were saved .
My WhatsApp list was similarly sparse , reduced to a few dozen people .
It wasnt hard to imagine how bad my relationships must have been before losing my memory .
The phone buzzed incessantly in my hand .
Against my better judgment , I finally picked up .
Hello ? Whos this ? Heavy breathing came through the line , and for a brief moment , panic gripped me .
I asked again , Who is this ? Speak up .
Finally , Julians low , muffled voice came through the line .
Evelyn , add me back .
My heart skipped a beat .
Pressing a hand to my chest , I realized how unfamiliar this dejected version of Julian felt to me .
My silence seemed to give him back some of his confidence .
1/2 1 + 25 BONUS Chapter 23 His tone turned cold and firm .
Evelyn , I said , add me back And unblock my number too .
Youre not a child ! Stop playing these petty games .
Im not playing games .
I just dont want to talk to you .
My voice was so calm , It even surprised me .
The heavy breathing on the other end resumed , accompanied by what sounded like wind in the background .
I had no idea where Julian had gotten this phone or where was calling from .
After a moment , he asked , his voice quieter but laced with uncertainty , Eve , youre just saying this out of anger , right ? You dont really want a divorce , do you ? I stayed silent .
His frustration erupted .
something ! Evelyn , tell me were you are .
Ill come get you ! I countered , Where are you , Julian ? There was a brief pause , as if he hadnt expected the question .
