My Husband Hates Me, But He Lost His Memories

The love that I had for him before was pure, but it was now much too late for that to continue.

That fact made me sad.

Why didn’t he realize it sooner? Why did he just ignore his own heart?

Why didn’t he give me even a little bit of attention…

There was no turning back time. It was impossible to restore the damaged past.

So he and I would never be like other happy couples.

Because we have gone too far.

“…Let me go.”

“…….”

After crying in heartache for a long time, I was finally able to calm down. Theodore let me go surprisingly obediently, but his eyes never left me.

“You… I think you already know.”

My voice is still filled with tears. I felt like now was the time to tell the story I had been putting off. I must tell him this time, so I can clearly draw a line.

“My heart can no longer be the way it used to be.”

“…….”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve given up… The wounds I received from you are still so raw, but now you’re saying that… you love me? Do you think that makes sense?”

Theodore lowered his head with a dark look. It looks like he feels some remorse, but that doesn’t mean… It’s not like I can understand and accept him.

“It’s too late.”

“…….”

“Even when you’re trying to share your life force with me now… You’ve realized your feelings for me too late.”

“…….”

“Stop it all. It’s all useless.”

Then Theodore got down on his knees.

“……!”

I winced in surprise. He looked up at me from his knees on the floor. He spoke to me with extremely earnest eyes and a face full of sorrow.

“A chance… Please, just one more time.”

“…….”

“Could you please give me a chance?”

There was wetness in his voice. At that moment, strangely enough, what he looks like now… It seemed to overlap with my past self.

Hoping that he would hold my hand, I clung to him with an infinitely earnest heart…

But now… The situation was reversed.

“I… I’ll try my best. I will do anything. Please…”

“…….”

“I don’t want to lose you like this.”

Desperation was not the only emotion that could be read from his expression.

I was also able to get a glimpse of his longing and obsession for me.

Thinking about it… Even in the port city, I think he looked at me in this way. At the time, I only noticed his anger.

Now… A late, deepening affection was added to his eyes.

It always broke my heart… That cruel feeling.

“Can’t you put your trust in me? I know it’s too late. But, to lose you like this…”

He frowned as if in pain and clenched his teeth. Soon his hand reached for me, but I stepped back and shook my head.

“Do you remember what I said before? I said I had something important to talk to you about…”

“…….”

A dark light passed over Theodore’s face. As if he was anticipating what I would say from now on.

I gulped once and opened my mouth again.

“I… with the power of Somnia, will bring down House Everett.”

That’s the first thing I decided to do.

“But it would be difficult for me in many ways alone. I need someone to help me. It’s you.”

“…….”

“I am saying let’s be allies for a while. Because you, too, want to get revenge on Everett.”

If there’s anything the two of us have in common, it’s that.

Regardless of our relationship or feelings, he and I could be good partners for each other.

But…

“That’s one thing I want from you, and…”

“…….”

“The other one… For you to let me go. After all this revenge is over.”

Now, I can’t be more than an ally with you.

Because there was no way for this heart to heal.

“…Lily, I—”

“I cannot be happy while next to you.”

“I…”

“No matter how hard you try.”

“…….”

“Now that I have a short life left, I…”

A sad smile appeared on my lips.

I feel I have a little premonition of my fate.

“I want to live quietly… in peace and tranquility, in a place where no one will hurt me.”

Theodore pursed his lips and looked up at me. His reddened eyes looked like tears would soon form.

I did not ignore his affection or his now desperate heart. He faced me squarely and gave a firm sentence.

“When the time comes, we will divorce.”

“…….”

“If you truly feel any remorse for me… Divorce is the only way for me.”

Maybe we were a bad couple after all.

He hurt me, and I hurt him too.

It would be right to break off a relationship that only hurts each other.
