Chapter 644

That was to say that Eddy only treated Layla well because he had remembered things wrongly. And once he realized…

Layla didn’t even dare to keep thinking about it. She calmed her rapid breathing and looked at Eddy. At this point, there was no way she could admit the truth.

She pressed her fingers to her eyes. “So you mean that you’ve only ever been nice to me because I saved you back then?”

Eddy didn’t want to keep hiding it any longer. “That’s right,” he said.

Layla cried even harder now. “I understand. Then, I wish you two all happiness together.”

As she spoke, she turned to leave.

Eddy hurriedly called out to stop her. “Hold on. Layla, where are you going?”

“Since you don’t like me, why do you care?”

Layla sniffed. “There’s no meaning to my life anymore… It’s better that I just die!”

Upon hearing that Layla wanted to die, Eddy hopped out of bed in a rush to pull her to a stop.

“Do you know what you’re talking about?”

Layla used all her might to struggle against Eddy’s hold. Crying, she said, “Eddy, since you don’t want me anymore, don’t bother with me! Let me live and die as I will!”

Naturally, Eddy couldn’t just watch Layla die. No matter what, she had been the one who had saved him. If she died, he would never forgive himself.

Seeing that her plan was working, Layla played it up even more.

“Let me go, Eddy! I don’t know how to spend the rest of my life without you in it. It’s better that you let me die!”

Layla was just struggling too hard. Eddy couldn’t keep a hold of her at all. Thus, he could only hold onto her waist.

“Calm down. There’s no one on this earth who can’t live without another person!”

Layla shook her head frantically. “You don’t get it, Eddy. You don’t know what you mean to me! Without you, I simply don’t have the will to live!”

Eddy was so troubled by this that he had no other choice. He could only say, “Calm down first. It’s not like I’m saying I’ll marry Caroline right away.

“Grandpa just passed away. As his eldest grandson, I have to settle his funeral matters first. At the very least, we can’t hold a wedding in our family in the next six months out of respect.”

Hearing this, Layla relaxed. But she knew that this meant she only had six months‘ time.

Seeing how determined Eddy was this time, Layla knew that Caroline might very well get married to him if she didn’t put an end to his plan.

Once Caroline became Eddy’s wife, there was no way she would let Layla off. That was why Layla definitely couldn’t…

Layla suddenly recalled something very important.

The corners of her lips curled slightly upward. How could she have forgotten something so critical?

As long as she announced Caroline’s identity when the time came, there was no way Eddy could marry Caroline anymore.

She was really forgetful.

However, it was good to throw such a tantrum now. At least she knew that Eddy didn’t actually care for her.

Seeing that things were going her way, Layla wrapped things up. “Eddy, I’m sorry. I don’t want you to tire yourself because of me. But I …

“Don’t you worry. I’ll spend this time adjusting my perspective during this time.”

Eddy’s heart melted when he saw Layla turn so reasonable. “Layla, you must remember that, no matter what happens, I will always care about you.”

“Alright.” Layla nodded solemnly. “Eddy, rest well. I’ll be off now.”

“I’ll have someone drop you home.”

Layla rejected the offer. Nevertheless, Eddy still arranged for Simon to send her home personally.

In the car, Layla revealed a pleased expression. Eddy Morrison would never be able to escape from her clutches.
