Love Me Again

Chapter 4 - Mend our relationship

Chapter 4 –Mend our relationship

Sean helped carry their luggage into the house, and Ashley followed him in. She was amazed by the decorations in the room and did not notice Sean had stopped in front of her. As a result, she bumped into Sean, whose quick reflex had him grab onto her upper arms to keep her steady.

Ashley flinched and freed herself from his grip, ignoring the wounded expression in his eyes. Strange, she did not remember him being so expressive. Perhaps the pleasant memories she had of him were replaced with the memories of the latter part of their marriage that had been filled with bitterness?

"Do you remember anything?"

"You are rather eager to have me regain my memories."

"Don't you?"

"No."

Ashley blinked in surprise. "You don't? Why not?"

He stared at Ashley with adoration in his eyes, but it was already too late. They were separated, and he was already married. Even if she wished to, his four years of missing memories were like a knife that could cut their renewed bond when they chose to return.

"I was told we are divorced," Sean finally asked. Ashley nodded stiffly in reply. "Why?"

"We no longer get along, so we agreed to divorce."

"Impossible." With just one word, he made it sound as if Ashley's reasoning was unreasonable. Now, Ashley remembered this one trait of his that she disliked the most! She remembered his arrogance and unwillingness to bend for her!

"Well, suck it up. We had parted, and it will stay that way," Ashley drawled, her tone cold.

"Do you know what's the last thing I remember?"

Ashley frowned with unpleasantness. "Your doctor says it's the honeymoon."

Sean stared at her for a moment. "To be exact, the first night of our honeymoon." He did not tell that to his doctor to avoid any embarrassment.

Ashley gulped as his words ignited the long-buried memories inside her. But she strove hard to remain unaffected. "Oh?"

"Ashley, I want to make things clear."

Ashley could hear warning bells in her head when he stared at her with that stubborn expression she was familiar with. "What is it?"

"I will mend our relationship, no matter how hard it will be," he said in determination, and that was what Ashley feared the most. Sean Donovan was a man who would do anything to get what he wanted.

"I think your head injury is more serious than we thought. You have lost your common sense!" Ashley jeered angrily. "I will kindly tell you that you have a new wife now!"

Sean froze up momentarily before he said with resolve, "The wife that I remember getting married to is you. When the so-called 'wife' appears, I will immediately divorce her."

Ashley gaped at him, speechless. This man was insane! And she was even more insane to feel a tiny bit giddy about it!

"Don't be unreasonable! Your wife will be back soon, and I will leave when she does."

Ashley let out a tiny squeak when he suddenly pulled her towards him until their bodies nearly touched each other. She was glad that she managed to control the heat crawling onto her face and hoped he could not hear how loud her heartbeat was.

"I will repeat again, Ashley. You are my only wife, and it will remain so forever."

Ashley was caught off guard when he suddenly leaned over and kissed her.
