Contract Marriage; Fated Love

Noah recognised her immediately. He was very happy to see her. They got along again, just like in the past years. Gradually, Emily, Gu Yanxi and Liam were erased from his life. While trying to help him regain his memory, she made sure not to involve them. She was back and he was going to be hers as soon as he recovered. Grace didn’t let Emily or Gu Yanxi see him.

Emily saw that there wasn’t any need to stay around. She loved Noah but she had to get rid of her feelings. He didn’t remember her anymore. She was skeptical about his being Liam’s father. Everything pointed at its negativity. She was however very grateful that he saved her son.

Liam was reluctant to leave without seeing Noah. Emily told him that Noah asked him to return to school. She further added that Noah promised to come and see them when he recovers fully.

Gu Yanxi didn’t go back with them. Her leave period wasn’t over yet and she didn’t want to leave her brother’s side despite his inability to recognize her. Gu Yanxi stayed by Mr Joshua’s side and with time, he started to accept her. He finally decided on DNA and the result came out that she was his daughter. He was appalled. He gave her his word that he would make up for all the years she spent outside his home. This finding made him realize that his wife hadn’t cheated on him. He let go of the resentment he had for her in his heart. He was sorry he accused her when she was no more. Since she was his daughter, he didn’t let her go back to China. He kept her by his side and studied her behaviour closely. When he found her trustworthy, he took her to the company and taught her a few things. He handed the company over to her for the meantime. He supervised everything she did and set her straight.

Jessy wasn’t happy when he found out her new identity. There was no way her father and brother would bless their union. All the same, they continued dating each other.

SIX MONTHS LATER

Emily, who won the competition some months ago, has become even more famous in China. She was sought after and was well paid. She was now extremely wealthy. She thought about Noah often and wasn’t happy that he had left her life for good. He left when he stirred up her emotions and when she started having interest in him.

Her life went on like there was never a time Noah appeared. Liam moved on as well but it was still in his mind that Noah promised to come. He waited patiently for that fateful day.

Noah on his own part had recovered and had been discharged from the hospital. Grace Shields was still with him and they were happy together. He was however still unfit to take over the company so Gu Yanxi still continued.

Grace took him to places he used to go and it helped in his recovery. Still, she kept Gu Yanxi and Emily out of the picture.

One morning, Noah quit playing the piano and requested drawing sheets from the servant. The image was faint in his mind but he tried to make a drawing of Emily.

Grace, who had been by his side for six months tried her best to stop him. She had gotten him now and there was no way she would leave him again. This went on for some weeks and he didn’t give up. He decided to go to his office one day. His father notified Gu Yanxi and asked her to show him around to help me remember more.

His office was still clean as Gu Yanxi made sure it was cleaned often.

He stepped out of the elevator and Gu Yanxi came to help him. He looked at her closely.

“I’ve seen you before, haven’t I?”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Gu Yanxi was surprised. He walked off before she could say anything and opened the door to his office with his fingerprints. He looked around the office and his eyes rested on his picture with Liam.

“This… I…”

He felt his head spin and he staggered. Gu Yanxi caught him in time and he didn’t fall. He felt weak because he had stressed his brain trying to recall. By the following day, his brain was getting better and he started recalling things gradually. Gu Yanxi brought him tea in the morning.

“Yanxi? Is that you?”

“Oh my goodness. Yes! It’s me.”

She ran out to look for her dad.

“Dad, Noah recognized me. He recognized me!”

That day was the end of Grace Shields. Noah thanked her for helping him recover but he didn’t want her by his side.

He was recuperating very fast. He inquired about Emily and his son. His sister told him what happened. He wanted to travel immediately in search of her but Gu Yanxi restrained him.

“You have to recover properly, first.”

As was expected, Noah kicked against her relationship with Jessy. He swore that he wouldn’t let his only sister have anything to do with someone who tried to murder him. Her tears and pleas couldn’t save the situation. She finally left Jessy for good.

As soon as Noah felt he was strong enough, he travelled to China with Gu Yanxi. Liam was the happiest person on earth that day. A week ago, he had asked his mother when Noah would come and to avoid telling him what happened, she told him he would come soon. He couldn’t believe how soon it was.

Noah apologized to her and let her know of what happened that night, five years ago.

It was true that he was not in the country. He only returned on a business trip and somehow, he got drunk and found himself in his hotel room with a woman who pleased him so much. He had slid his ring into her finger hoping to recognize her by the ring the following morning but she was nowhere to be found when he woke up. From that day, he searched for her everywhere but never found her.

Gu Yanxi sat in the garden, in her father’s house, beaming with smiles. She watched the three people playing in the garden; Noah, Emily and Liam.

She was happy to have Emily by her side. She was not just her friend, but she was her sister in law. Emily whom she took like a sister was now with her forever as her brother’s legal wife.
