Chapter 1834 Not Mine To Keep

Evan raised his head and looked at her regretfully. “When we get older, will we forget even more?”

No. After I die, you’ll still remember what happened between you and Nicole. But I believe your memories of us together will be wiped out.

Noticing that her expression fell, Evan thought that she was devastated. He quickly said, “Let’s move on and forget about the past. So long as we can grow old together and spend the rest of our lives in each other’s company, that will be far more meaningful.”

Shermaine nodded, but her heart ached at the thought that she would not have such a chance and luxury. At the end of the day, she was merely an impersonator who took up the role of a passerby in Evan’s life.

Evan passed her the flower wreath, which she carefully took in her arms and looked at it, mesmerized. It was the first gift that Evan gave her, and it was precious like a gem!

I must take good care of this!

“The flower wreath looks really nice!” Shermaine was enraptured.

“I’m happy you like it.”

“I do, I really do. Thank you so much!”

Shermaine’s response was baffling to Evan. He stared mindlessly at her as he felt that something was not right.

“All right. Let’s go back.”

“Sure.”

As the duo started to leave, Draven, Damien, and Nicole quickly followed suit. Staring at the wreath held tightly in Shermaine’s hands, Nicole couldn’t help but sigh at the fact that Evan could not remember to who he had always gifted the same gift.

However, he could not be blamed.

The more urgent goal at the moment was to help Evan recall that his wife was Nicole and not Shermaine.

“Mrs. Seet, it seems that Shermaine is going up the mountain, and Mr. Seet is going the other direction. Should we follow him?”

“Of course! If we don’t follow Mr. Seet, do you think we should follow that woman instead?”

“The two of you shall follow Mr. Seet. I will talk to Shermaine.”

“Mrs. Seet, what do you want to talk to her about?”

“That’s right, Mrs. Seet. She’s a dangerous person. I suggest you distance yourself from her.”

Draven and Damien were worried about Nicole’s intention of meeting Shermaine. Hence, they decided that Draven should be the person to protect Evan, while Damien should accompany Nicole.

The two of time picked up the pace and caught up to Shermaine. Damien then blocked her way forward.

“What do you want?” Shermaine looked at him warily. She protectively guarded the flower wreath in her hands.

“I would like to speak to you!” Nicole uttered behind her.

Shermaine turned and sized her up before smiling. “You’re in no way better than me. You’re just lucky.”

“Shut up! Mrs. Seet is a hundred times better than you. No matter her looks, talents, intelligence, and personality, she surpasses you in all aspects! She is a kind-hearted person that loves to help people, unlike you! You are a sly, wicked, and nasty woman! It’s shameful to even compare yourself with Mrs. Seet.” Damien scornfully gazed at her.

Shermaine, however, was not mad. She chuckled. “No one likes being the bad guy. However, life is not fair. I’m not born lucky like her. It’s not my choice, and I should not be blamed!”

“While fate may be predetermined, you have a choice which course you prefer to take in life. Take now, for example, you have a choice to continue deceiving Evan and altering his memories, or you can leave him alone. But why did you choose the former but not the latter?” Nicole asked.

Shermaine was stunned for a second. She then righteously rebutted, “Because I like him, and I am following what my heart tells me to do.”

“Your heart? Everyone has their desires, but they should never control a person. There are always boundaries and things that one should never do. You can still change your mind, and I think you should—”

“The purpose of this conversation is to convince me to leave Evan, am I right? Dream on! Don’t waste your energy trying to do that—I won’t listen to you,” Shermaine interjected before Nicole could finish her sentence.
