Daddy, don't flirt

Chapter 389: Trust No One

Jamie looks better. She looks around and closes her eyes. The sun is shining brightly but not dazzling, warm but not burning. It’s pleasant.

“You need to head outside and get more sun, which is good for recovery.” Ryan pushes her in the wheelchair to the pavilion in the yard. The servant brews the black tea and he pours her a cup.

“OK,” Jamie responds and sips the tea, looking at Ryan.

She doesn’t know the reason but she does feel something wrong with this man and doesn’t want to get close to him.

“How...how did I lose my memory?” Jamie looks up at Ryan. Although she feels something wrong, she needs an explanation and doesn’t want to live with a blank mind.

What happened that day comes across Ryan’s mind.

He jumped into the sea with Jamie that day and was right away saved by his men that had been arranged for them in advance. He can’t forget how she looked at him when he was trying to save her.

Scared, startled, resentful, and desperate, she pulled herself away from him determinedly and sank into the sea again.

Her last words to him were “How could it be you.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

She sounded so desperate that Ryan was blank for a second, and then she sank.

He knows at that moment Jamie was ensured that he was the mastermind behind all the things.

Actually she got suspicious while seeing him in the ship. She probably just escaped from the truth and chose to trust him. But what he did in the end confirmed her suspicion.

After Jamie fell into the ocean, he sent his people in the nearby islands and countries to look for her around the beaches. She was washed up on a beach.

He saved her, but was afraid, afraid of her questioning and disgusted look.

He sent the explosive ship. He plotted the kidnap. To stop Dan from taking her away, he even deceived her into jumping into the sea, faking her death in the ship.

He had been scheming since he was under control of Jack.

Ryan is scared of looking at Jamie’s eyes. It will remind him of the scene where Jamie shook off his hands and fell into the ocean, which makes him stifled.

“My special position brings me lots of enemies. To protect me, you got ambushed by them and hit your head, resulting in memory loss.” Ryan looks at her and says affectionately.

Jamie is less defensive and asks, “Where are my family?”

“Your family are in France. We will visit them sometime.”

Jamie nods, tilting her head and looking at him curiously, “Did I love you before I lost my memory?”

“Yes, a lot,” Ryan answers without hesitation. Although he is cheating, it is worthwhile.

With a glint of mockery in Jamie’s eyes, she smiles and quips, “No, I guess I didn’t love you. Our marriage should be business marriage.”

Ryan freezes for a second. Even though she lost her memory, she still can’t be fooled and instead she almost convinces him.

“Yes. It’s the business marriage. I love you deeply but you don’t.”

Maybe only when Jamie is in memory loss, can Ryan feel free to say those four words.

“Oh, you are in one-sided love.” Jamie feels bored these days and gets interested in this topic. “How about me? Did I fall in love with someone?”

Ryan thinks of Dan but says, “No. But there was a person you did hate.”

“Who is it?”

“His name is Dan William. You said he was the man you hated most,” Ryan misleads Jamie with the calm look.

Dan William?

Jamie thinks over the name. With no reason, when she hears the name, her heart softens and a strange feeling comes over her.

Is this feeling hatred?

“Why did I hate him?” Jamie asks.

“Because he harmed you, but I don’t know the details. I seldom inquired about your private affairs,” Ryan gives a smart answer to her question and can put her off with that excuse when she asks again.

Jamie doesn’t know his trick and is curious about Dan William.

“Do you know why you were ambushed by those people?” With a slight frown, Ryan asks when he notices Jamie’s curious look after he speaks of the name of Dan.

As expected, Jamie looks at him questioningly.

“You were looking for something for me and got injured. I’m so sorry.”

“What is it?”

“Myth ring.” A seriousness reaches Ryan’s face, but before Jamie notices, it disappears.

Myth ring?

Jamie hisses. The two words are familiar but once she thinks over it, her head hurts and seems to be splitting.

Ryan can tell her headache results from recalling the past and stops her, “Don’t think about it. Let bygones be bygones.”

After a while, Jamie’s headache is mitigated. She shakes off Ryan’s hands coldly, looking at him contemptuously, “That means, you want me to take that thing for you again?”

A difference comes into Ryan’s face. He indeed thinks about that, but...

“Without love between us, I really wonder Why on earth I looked for that ring for you.” Jamie stares at him coolly and says with scorn.

“Are you really my fiance? Do you truly love me? I doubt it. You must want something from me, right? Thought I don’t know what it is, but I will not be easily used.”

Though she lost her memory, she doesn’t lose her pride. She is still Jamie Moore.

She’s not blind. She will find out the truth.

With a glance at Ryan, Jamie notices an injured look on him. She compresses her lips and goes back to the villa in her wheelchair.

Jamie can’t remember anything and is completely at a loss. But she is reluctant to trust Twelve or Ryan.

However, she doesn’t realize as she is in memory loss, except these two that who know her, who else can she trust?
