Chapter 9 Sometimes , I suspected that Samuel was trying to seduce me , but I had no evidence . For instance , he was currently brewing coffee for me dressed in casual wear - soft cotton white T - shirt paired with grey sweatpants . He looked just like a college student , which wasn't too far off since he had just graduated from college . I lay on the couch , appreciating Samuel's youthful physique . No wonder people were into sugar babies . He came over with my coffee , and I started flipping through my magazine in all seriousness . I then took a sip from the coffee he handed me . As soon as Samuel sat down , Fluffy jumped onto his lap and settled down . My attention was drawn to Fluffy kneading on his grey sweatpants . My gaze couldn't help but wander elsewhere . " So big- " I mumbled . Samuel scooted closer and whispered in my ear , " Where are you looking at , Naomi ?" I felt a ticklish sensation in my ear . My gaze flickered around as I held my breath . " I - I mean the cat has grown so big now- ' £ I rushed back into my room with reddening cheeks and sent a text to my best friend , Lara Knightley . My text read , " I feel like Samuel has been seducing me ever since he started living here . Is it time for me to start dating again ? " Lara gave me a call excitedly . " Finally ! I can't believe you only realized this now when a handsome guy like him had liked you for so many years ! " My heart pounded . " Does he like me ? I've always thought he only sees me as his older sister- " I placed a hand over my chest . I couldn't tell where the sudden spark of joy was coming from . " I'm not joking ! Everyone could tell he likes you . You don't know this , but he's only meek when he's with you - he wears this dark and scary expression everywhere else ! " Lara said . " So , what do you think ? Now that you're divorced , you should consider Samuel . He's so much better than that bastard ! " I replied , " My mind is all over the place right now . I'm already busy enough with work - I don't want to think about anything else . " I ended the call with Lara in a hurry , but my phone started ringing again immediately after . I accepted the call and found out it was Yohan . " Juli has a fever now and insisted on seeing you , Naomi . Can you come home to see him for a bit ?" The voice from the other end of the line sounded like a plea . AM 1/2 Chapter 9 +25 Bonus I walked over to the balcony , enjoying the wind before softly replying , " I've called you like this several times before , Yohan . " It was also my first time being a mother . I felt anxious and did not know what to do every time Julian got sick . Even with the family doctor present , I still called Yohan with trembling hands . My voice broke whenever I begged for him to come home . However , I could still recall his icy reply back then . I replied , " You told me , it's one thing I couldn't take care of myself , but how could I fail to take care of Juli as well ? " " Naomi , I- " Yohan's voice was hoarse . ་ "What you said was right . That's why I only wanted to take good care of myself now , " I said . " Have your memories returned to you , Naomi ?" Yohan's tone was more careful than I'd heard before . " I've never lost my memories from the start . We'll meet in the courtroom in a month . Also , don't bother thinking I'll come back begging for you after I recover my memories , " I gritted . " Things have ended between us for good . " I could hear something glass - like breaking from the other end of the line . Without waiting for his reply , I ended the call and blocked his number . I would only contact him a month later . From then on , I started seeing Yohan frequently . Yet he only sat in his car , watching me quietly without interfering with my life . Perhaps it was out of unwillingness to let go - or his ego was making him think that the grass was greener on the other side . In any event , I only treat Yohan as a stranger now even if I saw him . Support Diagnosed with terminal cancer and given three months to live, she starts taking revenge on those who hurt her. Then, a call from the doctor reveals it was a misdiagnosis!
