Chapter 15
Seeing the remorse and pain in the three men’s eyes, Stella felt only satisfaction, without a trace of sympathy.
Only when they truly experienced the same torment and heartbreak she had endured could they genuinely understand her suffering!
With a cold expression, Stella defended James: “James will wake up eventually. He and I are husband and wife, and our marriage is not a joke. I’m being completely rational. From now on, I will only have feelings for James. Whether you acknowledge your mistakes or not is irrelevant to me.”
With that, she turned to leave.
Lucas quickly grabbed her hand, pleading: “Stella, please don’t be so cruel to us. If we hadn’t lost our memories, we would have loved you unwaveringly. It was Natalie who created misunderstandings between us. You can hit me, yell at me, even run me over with a car–just please don’t love James.”
During the seconds they waited for Stella’s answer, all three men were in agony.
In all their years of knowing her, they never imagined that one day Stella would marry someone else, let alone fall in love with another man.
If James truly woke up, would they still have a chance?
The mere thought made Adrian, Lucas, and Maxwell feel as if their hearts were being torn apart.
But Stella merely laughed at Lucas’s words.
“Misunderstandings? There were never any misunderstandings between us.”
As the three men attempted to explain, she continued with a cold smile:
“If you truly loved me, even after losing your memories, you would have fallen in love with me again.”
“But you didn’t. After waking up, you believed Natalie’s words just because she was nice to you, took care of you, and spoke ill of me. You didn’t fall in love with me again.”
“If you hadn’t lost your memories, can you guarantee you would never have developed feelings for Natalie? You
can’t!”
Adrian, Lucas, and Maxwell’s eyes filled with shock and pain.
Their minds raced with endless questions, even as they instinctively protested:
“No, we wouldn’t have. We only love you…”
But perhaps even they realized their words lacked conviction, as their voices grew increasingly faint.
“Claiming you only love someone is easy enough to say.”

Chapter 15
“Before, you said you would only ever love me. Then you lost your memories and said you would only love Natalie. What about the future?”
“If you lost your memories again and met someone new, would you claim to love her forever too? Ha, your love comes quite cheap, doesn’t it?”
The three men stood frozen, momentarily speechless, unable to refute her words.
They wanted to prove they wouldn’t fall in love with anyone else, but they had no convincing evidence.
Stella resolutely pulled her hand from Lucas’s grasp and walked away without a backward glance.
Watching her retreating figure, Adrian, Lucas, and Maxwell felt a pain so intense they could hardly breathe.
After a long while, they finally solidified their resolve.
They would prove to her that they loved only her, and they would atone for their sins!
The next day, Adrian, Lucas, and Maxwell attempted to visit and apologize, but were turned away by the Wilson family’s security guards.
Unlike the Bennett family, the Wilson family wouldn’t allow them in without Stella’s permission.
The three men stood in the rain outside the estate compound for an entire night.
The security guards notified Stella several times, but received the same answer each time: “Don’t worry about them. If they want to get soaked, let them. They won’t die.”
For a full day and night, the rain thoroughly drenched their clothes, which clung to their bodies, perfectly outlining their figures.
