Chapter 8 The Lost Memory

Agnes leaned against Adam's chest and carefully observed his facial expression.

There was a hint of indifference and coldness on his handsome face, as usual, as if Thalia Cloude's fate had nothing to do with him.

She raised her eyebrows in delight and glanced around. Her gaze fell on the divorce paper on her desk.

"Adam, my mother told me that you and my sister are getting a divorce. Is it true?"

Adam pressed his lips together with an emotionless look on his face. "Agnes, are you happy about it?"

"I'm happy. Of course I'm happy. Adam, do you know that I've dreamed that you'll divorce my sister, so that I can become your lawful wife."

Agnes was overjoyed. But she suddenly realized that she seemed overexcited, so she quickly lowered her voice and said, "However, if the divorce brings pain to my sister, then I would rather you don't get a divorce. Adam, is it really non-negotiable?"

Was there still a chance for him to change his mind?

Adam also asked himself that question.

From the moment he got married three years ago, he had been hoping to get a divorce.

However, when the moment he hoped for really arrived, he became conflicted.

As it appeared, he didn't really feel relieved...

All of a sudden, he recalled the sight of Thalia lying on the ground earlier on.

She had been coughing, and there seemed to be a hint of redness on her lips. She was coughing up blood. Was she sick?

Agnes stared at Adam and noticed that he was a little absent-minded. What was he thinking about? Was he thinking about that b*tch, Thalia?

She secretly clenched her fists. She looked away and her gaze suddenly fell on the computer screen on the desk.

When she saw the image on the screen, her eyes slowly widened.

Why did Adam start designing a wedding dress all of a sudden?

She suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Thalia seemed to have mentioned a wedding dress to her...

So, this b*tch, Thalia Cloude, used the divorce as a bargaining chip to make Adam design a wedding dress for her?

As she thought, the look in her eyes became cold. She pretended to be envious and said, "Adam, I am so jealous of my sister. You are so kind to her. You're even designing a wedding dress for her. But, didn't you make me a promise all those years ago? You said you'll design a wedding dress for me and me only."

A wedding dress.

Adam frowned and looked at the unfinished design on the computer screen.

A fragment of memory flashed in his mind, and Adam was eager to capture it. He asked in a low voice, "What promise?"

"Adam, you've forgotten. When you lost your eyesight, you told me that you hoped to see me wear the wedding dress you designed at our wedding." Agnes clenched her fists and said with a gentle smile, "But you haven't designed any product by yourself in recent years, so I didn't dare to bring it up. I didn't expect to see you do this for my sister."

"Lost my eyesight?" Adam's frown deepened, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.

Many years ago, he became blind because of an accident. It was not until five years ago that he was cured and regained his eyesight.

But the price of curing his eyes was that he lost a part of his memory.

His memory of all those years ago became distant and blurred. Every time he tried to recall it, it felt like a dream. The figures and voices in that dream were hazy, as if they were a signal transmitted from another galaxy.

A voice of a little girl echoed in his head.

"Brother Adam, I love the white wedding dress the most. It must be decorated with a lot of pearls and gems, as well as a very pretty bow..."

"The bow is too tacky."

"No, no, Brother Adam, I like the bow. There must be a bow on my wedding dress!"

"Okay, your wish is my command."

"..."

This conversation was not a figment of his imagination. It must have been a memory that he had forgotten.

Agnes did not lie to him.

But why did Thalia's face appear in his mind when he recalled this conversation?

Seeing that Adam looked as if he was falling deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole of the past, she was afraid that her lie would be exposed.

She grabbed Adam's arm and shook it. She said, "It doesn't matter. Adam, it doesn't matter if you don't remember anything. Thalia is the closest person to me. You can do whatever that pleases her. It doesn't matter."

As Agnes spoke, tears streamed down her face, and she started weeping non-stop.

Adam was frustrated to see her cry. It was not the time to reminisce about his past. He started comforting her and said. "Agnes, you've misunderstood me. I'm not designing a wedding dress for her. A woman like her doesn't deserve it..."

Adam held Agnes in his arms as he explained to her gently. When he was not noticing, she flashed a wicked smile.

She thought, 'Thalia Cloude, I'll steal everything you desire from you. Just you wait!'
