Chapter 149

Memories swirled in Christina's mind, and she felt utterly ridiculous.

She had just wanted to take a shower and change her clothes, but instead, she remembered everything...

Both of her lives had been a struggle because of William, and now, even after losing her memory, she had ended up marrying him.

The commotion drew William to the door, and he knocked.

"Christina, you okay in there?"

Christina snapped back to reality. What should she do now?

The knocking grew more insistent.

"Christina, answer me! I'm coming in!"

Hearing this, Christina finally came to her senses.

"I'm fine."

After freshening up, she left the room.

William approached her with concern, placing a large hand on her shoulder and pulling her into his arms. "You sure you're okay? You look really pale."

Christina coldly brushed his hand away and dried her hair with a towel.

"How long were you planning to deceive me?"

"What?" William's body tensed.

Christina glared at him, her eyes filled with hatred. "William, you liar. Did you think that by marrying me while I had amnesia, we could maintain this facade? Dream on!"

"You remembered so quickly?" William pressed his lips together.

Christina let out a cold laugh, stepping closer with each word. "Did you think I would never remember? Were you planning to deceive me forever? William, you're a despicable man!"

William suddenly stepped forward and hugged her tightly.

"Christina, you have to believe me. I didn't do it to deceive you. Please, calm down."

Christina struggled wildly, pushing him away. "William, after learning everything, how can you lie to me so easily? I'd rather never see you again."

Her last words truly hurt William. He raised his hand to stop her but didn't know what to say.

Seeing his expression, Christina grew even angrier. "I've made myself clear. This marriage means nothing to me. When are we getting a divorce?"

William hadn't expected that their sweet moments would turn into a nightmare once she remembered the past.

"Christina, I won't divorce you," William said firmly.

Christina sneered, lifting her chin. "Marrying me while I had amnesia won't be recognized by the law. No matter the cost, I will divorce you!"

With that, she turned and left the bedroom.

William chased after her, grabbing her wrist.

"Where are you going?"

"Every moment with you suffocates me. I won't stay here, William. If you force me to, you'd better sleep with one eye open, or I'll kill you."

Christina's icy words made William take a step back.

Ignoring him, she packed her things and left.

William watched her determined figure, feeling a pain like a knife in his heart.

He had known this day would come, but he hadn't expected it to be so sudden and overwhelming.

Christina moved back to her apartment and consulted a lawyer about the divorce.

The lawyer listened patiently and then offered professional advice. "If he doesn't agree, the court likely won't grant a quick divorce. There's a cooling-off period, which can be lengthy. If you're in a hurry, it's best to negotiate privately rather than go through legal channels."

Christina bit her lip. "Our marriage happened while I had amnesia. Can I sue him for fraud and have the marriage annulled?"

"That's tricky. You did go to get the marriage certificate yourself," the lawyer said, spreading his hands.

Christina felt bitter and hated William even more.

He had appeared in her life out of nowhere, seemingly to ruin it.

After thinking for a long time, she smiled faintly. "Thank you."

She paid the lawyer's fee.

At that moment, a man sat down in front of the lawyer.

"What did that lady consult you about?"

"Sorry," the lawyer shrugged. "We protect our clients' privacy."

"Really? I don't think you want to lose your job." The man pushed a business card toward the lawyer. "Think it over."

The lawyer's expression changed, and he forced a smile. "Alright, I'll tell you. She was consulting about a divorce."

The man got the answer he wanted and quickly left.

At the mansion, Bob reported, "Ms. Windsor-"

William shot him a sharp look, and Bob quickly corrected himself. "Mrs. Cavendish went back to her apartment and then to a law firm to consult about a divorce."

William's face darkened.

Did she hate him that much? No matter what, that was all in the past. In this life, he had never wronged her.

After a long pause, he spoke with difficulty. "Have someone follow her."

Given her current emotional state, William couldn't bring her home. He had to wait until they both calmed down and could talk openly.

Christina resumed her old life.

Elisa called her, hinting that since she was with William, she should get pregnant quickly to secure her position and ensure a worry-free future.

Christina was annoyed. "Don't worry about it. I have my own plans."

"What plans? Nicholas may have reluctantly agreed, but he's still not satisfied with you. If you have the Cavendish family's first grandchild, you'll be set for life," Elisa said earnestly.

Christina knew Elisa meant well, but she had no patience for it now. "It's over between us. Don't bring it up again."

Elisa was stunned and raised her voice. "Didn't you two want to get married? I'm just looking out for you. What's with the attitude?"

Christina moved the phone away, waiting for Elisa to finish ranting before coldly replying, "I have my own ideas. You don't need to worry about me."

With that, she hung up and ignored the subsequent calls.

She suspected William had gone to Elisa.
