Levant’s eyes lit up the moment he saw Nicole with her makeup on. “Nicole, you are so pretty.”
Nicole’s lips curled up. “Let’s go.”
The two of them left the estate and came to a high-class mall. Nicole beheld everything in a newborn’s wonderment. She figured that she had lost all of her memory, as she could not recall coming to that mall before.
She turned to face Levant. “I used to visit places like this?”
She reckoned that she probably used to frequent such premium places as she was the daughter of a duke.
Levant smiled a little. “Yes, we used to come here a lot.”
Nicole supposed that she must have really liked Levant a lot before she lost her memory. If not, why would she accompany Levant to the mall so much?
“Do you see anything that you like? I’ll buy all of them for you.”
Levant held a smoldering gaze at Nicole. She lowered her head in awkwardness. “It’s fine. I have everything at the estate. I don’t need anything. Let’s just walk around.”
The two of them left the mall and went to a café nearby.
While Levant went to buy some coffee and desserts, Nicole found a quiet corner and sat down.
But seconds after she settled into her seat, a guy appeared in front of her. His eyes made direct contact with hers.
It made her feel uneasy. She asked him quizzically, “Sir, is there anything I can help you with?”
Sir?
Evan froze in his place.
Not only is she going out with Levant but now she addresses me as Sir?
What is this woman up to?
Is she making a fuss because I am late?
“Nicole, are you angry at me?”
Nicole was dumbfounded.
This guy knows my name?
However, Nicole could not understand a single thing out of the guy’s mouth.
Evan knitted his brows as Nicole looked at him as though he was a stranger to her.
Is she really angry with me—so angry that she’s pretending not to know me?
“Sir, I think you have mistaken me for someone else. I don’t think we know each other.”
In actuality, Nicole did not know whether the stranger in front of her had mistaken her for somebody else. After all, she could remember nothing from her past.
But Nicole was confused as to how the guy knew her name.
She sized him up and found the stranger quite a handsome man. She always thought that Levant was the most good-looking man on the planet, but he was now second to this guy she just met.
Still, Nicole wondered if the handsome stranger had gone under the knife since plastic surgery was quite popular nowadays.
She pointed at his face questioningly. “You were born looking like this?”
Evan’s face sunk into itself. What do you mean?
Nicole saw the dark cloud hovering over Evan’s face and coughed wryly. “I am so sorry! I shouldn’t have asked you a question like that. Even though you have gone under the knife to look like this, I must admit you look totally amazing!”
Deep inside, she sighed. Ah, too bad he’s gone under the knife.
If he looked like that out of his mother’s womb, he would certainly make good-looking babies too!
Evan was muddled by Nicole’s words.
He didn’t have time to figure out what kind of show was Nicole putting on. He grabbed her hand right away. “Follow me!”
Nicole was startled by Evan’s sudden action. “Let go of me! I don’t know who you are!”
She doesn’t know me? Is she for real?
“Nicole, stop acting dumb! Follow me back!”
“Let me go! I am the daughter of Sir Musgrave! How dare you harass me under the broad daylight! Believe me when I say I will have someone beat you up!”
Wow! Quite a fine actress, I see!
“Let her go!”
All of a sudden, a deep voice caught the attention of the two of them.
Nicole turned his head around just in time to see Levant rushing to her. His eyes were full of murderous intent.
“Levant, she’s my wife! Make me let go of her if you dare!”
Evan’s tone was full of contempt. He glowered at Levant disparagingly.
Nicole was astounded. “What kind of nonsense is that? How am I your wife?”
Levant’s lips curled up a little. He chimed in, “Yeah, how can she be your wife? She’s my fiancée!”
