Chapter 3

The next day, Sean took me to a bar, saying he wanted to reintroduce me to his friends.

As soon as we entered the private area, I saw Liam holding a woman and kissing her passionately.

Sean coughed lightly, interrupting them.

Liam saw the two of us and froze for a moment, then slowly stood up.

"Hello, I'm Liam's childhood friend, Sean." Liam extended his hand to me unhurriedly and introduced, "This is my girlfriend, Hannah."

"Oh." I nodded but didn't shake his hand.

Hannah. Of course I recognized her.

Liam's first love.

When Liam first found me and learned we were destined mates, he broke up with her.

Later, he got back together with her when I had amnesia.

The reason Liam didn't want to shoulder his responsibilities as a partner for three years was all because of her.

There were many of Liam's friends in the private area. Several of them had pretended to be my partner. Now they all acted nonchalant and teased me:

"Evelyn, you lost your memory again? Our Liam is such a dedicated partner. No matter how many times you lose your memory, he's always by your side!"

"Yeah, Evelyn, such a good man. You should cherish him!"

I sarcastically curved my lips and said nothing.

Sean put his arm around me and sat down on the couch.

As soon as we sat down, I picked up a piece of fruit and fed it to him. "Honey, eat more."

In the dim light, I caught Liam glancing our way.

I leaned close to Sean's ear and deliberately bit his earlobe. "Honey, you were so rough last night. You made me uncomfortable all night. It hurt so much~"

Sean's face stiffened. He pinched my hand awkwardly. "Stop fooling around."

Liam gripped his glass tightly, his expression unpleasant.

Hannah sat beside him and said with fake sweetness and veiled barbs, "Evelyn, you're amazing. The coldest person in our friend circle has been charmed by you like a young man experiencing his first love."

As soon as she said this, Liam's friends, afraid I'd discover the truth, all laughed awkwardly to smooth things over:

"Haha, that just proves Evelyn and Liam have a good relationship!"

"Yeah, even if she loses her memory, it doesn't affect their relationship at all!"

From the corner of my eye, I saw Liam pick up his glass and take a sip, but his expression became extremely unpleasant.

A wave of vengeful satisfaction surged in my heart. I got up and went to the restroom.

When I came out of the restroom, Hannah walked toward me.

The moment we passed each other, she suddenly reached out and pushed me hard.

"Sorry, it was an accident."

I reacted quickly and wasn't pushed down.

"Slap!"

I raised my hand and slapped her hard across the face.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to either."

As soon as I finished speaking, a stern rebuke came from behind me. "Evelyn, what are you doing!"

Liam strode over.

Hannah immediately threw herself into his arms, crying pitifully. "Honey, I just accidentally bumped into Evelyn, and she got angry and hit me. My head is so dizzy now."

Liam's expression darkened, clearly displeased. "Apologize to Hannah!"

I sneered coldly. "Who are you to boss me around?"

"Evelyn!" Liam's eyes were dark and vicious, his face frighteningly grim. "Why did you become so arrogant and domineering after losing your memory?"

"What I've become has nothing to do with you."

I was too lazy to deal with him anymore.

Just as I was about to turn around, Liam kicked me down.

"Evelyn, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you lost your memory. Apologize to Hannah right now!"

Looking at the furious man before me, even though we were no longer mates, the lingering emotions still made me feel intense pain.

I was originally an orphan. In this huge, unfamiliar pack, Liam was my only support.

We'd known each other since we were eighteen. We'd been together for ten years.

When he proposed to me, he swore he would always protect and love me, that he could never betray me in this lifetime.

But now, not only did he betray our mate bond, he was hitting me for another woman.

All those sweet words and vows from back then had become a joke.

Amid my grief and anger, Sean's cold voice came from behind. "Don't touch her!"

I endured the pain and stood up, quickly slapped Liam across the face, then hid in Sean's arms to complain. "Honey, your friend is so rude. He bullied me!"

Sean's expression was displeased, his eyes full of shadows, looking at Liam with warning. "Don't bully Eve."

Liam clenched his jaw, his solemn face radiating violent energy.

As the two confronted each other tensely, Hannah suddenly shrank into Liam's arms and sneered disdainfully. "A bitch and an idiot who likes bitches. What's there to be proud of?"

"Shut up!"

Liam and Sean's voices rang out simultaneously.
