Everything around them fell into silence for a moment, with Jared frowning and telling himself, ‘Don’t push her too hard. Jared Johnston is better than Mr. Johnston.’

So, he nodded and agreed, “I’m listening.”

“Uh.” Nicole paused, suddenly forgetting about what she wanted to say.

She had already felt as if the atmosphere of their dinner together was a little awkward, but she felt even more uncomfortable now that she was about to say something.

This marked the first time Nicole was actually bothered by the fact that she had lost her memories. She initially thought that she would just accept the fact that things would never be the same again, and focus on raising her two children. However, she wanted to remember what things were like before the present time, so that she could free herself from this struggle.

“Why are you not saying anything?” Jared asked, noticing a hint of hesitation in Nicole’s eyes as if there was something bothering her.

“Forget it.” Nicole shook her head, figuring that it would be better to just let things happen instead of forcing them.
