Chapter 617


    "If you like her, I hope you find this marriage arrangement agreeable. There are not many women


    with good genes like hers," Thomson said.


    "Alright, but... you''re sure she''s really lost all her memories?" Loomis asked, turning to catch


    another glimpse of Wi on her bed.


    "I''m sure. Look, didn''t it y out well just now?"


    Loomis smiled faintly at the memory. He was a pretty charming fellow, so he could make this work.


    He had just been asking out of curiosity anyway.


    "But she doesn''t seem to trust me ... " Loomis continued. When he had touched Wi''s hand just


    now, her subconscious reaction was to pull back from him and to tell him not to touch her coldly.


    This woman was very resistant to his charms.


    However, the more she resisted, the more it enticed Loomis.


    It was a challenge he could not back down from.


    Wi wasn''t a bumbling idiot; she was smart. It would be interesting to see how far he could go to


    convince her that he was her lover.


    After all, Loomis was not one to back down from a challenge so easily.


    "You''re a giant flirt. What kind of woman would trust you?" Thomson retorted.


    "Dad, you only have yourself to me! I''ve learned it all from you after all ... " Loomis teased.


    "You''re getting more and more insolent these days ... " Thomson replied without any anger. After all,


    he was his favourite son after all.


    "Alright then. This decision you''ve made... I like it," Loomis said as he continued to stare longingly at


    Wi.


    She was gorgeous.


    She looked so delicate right now that it was love at first sight for him. He had never felt like this for


    anyone before.


    "Well then, that settles it. You do know why I agreed to this, right?" Thomson questioned calmly.


    "What is it? Did you want to elevate Wi''s status?" Loomis asked, pretending to be confused.


    "Stop joking around, Loomis. If you don''t get me a grandson in a year''s time, I''m getting rid of her,"


    Thomson warned, right before leaving.


    When he had stumbled upon Wi''s injured state, he had already nned it all in advance.


    For an aged man like him, he thought Wi was a beauty. She was 1.72 meters tall and had


    beautiful features. The children she would bear would no doubt inherit her genes.


    They would be tall and good-looking.


    The Yeager family was a powerful hidden family, so they needed more descendants to carry their


    family name into the far future.


    Wi could help them do just that.


    "Don''t sweat it, Dad. I won''t let you down," Loomis chuckled as he said.


    He proceeded to snap his fingers to summon help.


    Within moments, someone made their way over hurriedly, "Young Master, what can I help you


    with?"


    "Get the best congee cooker here at once," Loomis instructed.


    "Mr. Alvin has just left. He has a shop to tend to," The other man exined cautiously.


    "Smack!"


    Loomis hadnded a p on the man''s face, narrowing his eyes as he said, "Want to repeat that?"


    In fear, the man started to get on his knees, "Sorry, Young Master. Please, hold on a moment. I''ll


    call for him right now."


    "Get him back here in ten minutes. If he''s not here by then, I''ll kill him! Ask him to prepare a pot of


    congee for me. I want to present it as my own to Wi," Loomis smiled as he said.


    With a firm nod, the man hurried away.


    Loomis turned to look at Wi through the ss again and muttered to himself with a smile,


    "Beauty, this is a golden opportunity for you to climb the socialdder I''m offering you. You''d better


    appreciate this."


    Wi did not fall asleep after she was left alone. She had been thinking about that peculiar Loomis


    guy. If they really were a couple, why didn''t she feel even a hint of a passion for him? All she felt


    was unfamiliarity.


    Wi sighed and vaguely recalled the characteristics of the person she had liked. He was someone


    that she thought was cute. He was younger than her and may even still be studying in university.


    However, why did she feel a little sad and lost when she thought about him?


    Could it be that he was unavable? Was she pinning for this person?


    Thoughts were running a mile through her head. She was starting to piece together bits and pieces


    of this person, but the image was really vague ...


    A whileter, she blinked her eyes open when she caught a whiff of something that made her mouth


    water.


    "Wi, I''ve made this for you myself,e eat a little. You''ve always been very fond of my congee.


    Here, have a taste. It might jog your memories," Loomis said as he brought the food over to her and


    fed her with the spoon.


    Wi shook her head hurriedly, "Thank you but I can eat it myself."


    "It''s okay, I don''t mind feeding you. Come on, open wide," Loomis smiled as he scooped up a


    spoonful of the congee, ready to feed it into her mouth.


    "Really, there''s no need for this. I''ll do it myself!" She eximed.


    Wi had retreated to the far end of her bed. She really did not feel good about this man.


    She was sure that she would have never tolerated anyone as forceful as Loomis before. Surely the


    person she liked wouldn''t act like that.


    Loomis frowned a little at her but quickly reced it with a smile, "Alright then, if you insist."


    It had been a long while since Wi hadst eaten, so she was awfully hungry. She had to eat


    something now to replenish her strength.


    After she finished the food, she felt somewhat better.


    "Let me take you out for a walk ... " Loomis offered, stretching out his hand.


    "Please stop trying to touch me. Look, I can get down myself. I don''t like people touching me," Wi


    said as she got out of bed by herself.

    Her recovery was going immensely well. When she had woke up before, she barely had the energy


    to walk. She willed herself to get better quickly so she could remember the person that was


    upying her mind at the moment.


    "I used to hug you all the time in the past and you''ve


    never refused me. But now... have you really


    forgotten me?" Loomis sighed, looking


    heartbroken.


    "I''m sorry but I don??t remember you at all ... " Wi said, feeling a little helpless. Her memories


    had been presented to her in different forms of hazy dreams, so she had an inkling about the


    people she had used to know. However, this man here was aplete stranger to her. She had no


    recollection of him at all.


    Was this because she really had amnesia? Or was this some sort of ploy? "Sigh, the doctor did tell


    me that you were seriously injured. He said that it would cause short-term amnesia and that you


    might forget about me ... To be honest, I''m incredibly upset about that, but I''m so d that you


    survived that fall. We can make up for the lost memories together in the future," Loomis said gently.


    "Make up?" Wi questioned in confusion. Did she really lose her memory and forgot about this


    man?


    "Yes, let''s build new memories together," Loomis reached out towards her again, trying to hold her


    hand in his.


    "Don''t touch me!" Wi snapped, taking a hurried step back from the man which almost made her


    lose her bnce. Then, she continued in a panic, "I need some time. I''m sure I''ll remember it soon


    ... "


    "Alright, I''ll give you time. Be careful," Loomis said in reply, trying to cover up his outrage at this


    woman''s stubbornness.


    He found her stubborn nature equally enticing as well. She had be more attractive to him now.


    He wanted to conquer her.


    "I''m sorry, I shouldn''t be yelling at you like that. But please understand that I just need some time


    alone," Wi lowered her voice.


    After all, he had saved her life. It was not right for her to raise her voice at him.


    "It''s okay. Rest up a little, alright?" Loomis replied softly in dismay.


    "Are you really my lover?" Wi asked once more.


    "s, I don''t think I am now ... " "Can you briefly tell me what happened between us?" Wi asked


    then, feeling curious. She really had no memory of their time together at all.


    "Of course! Well, we first met at a gathering. When I first spotted you, you had been all on your own,


    so I wanted toe to say hi to you. When I got over to you, you actually refused me! You even


    pped me! I didn''t know what to do with myself after that. But a little whileter, you eventually


    came up to me and apologized. We became friends after that ... "


    "The first time I kissed you was on the rooftop. At that time, the moon lit up your features and you


    looked mesmerizing ... I couldn''t resist but give you a kiss that day and you haven''t refused me ever


    since," Loomis said with a smile as he recalled their ''memories''.


    "On the rooftop? No, no, I distinctly remember it being thewn ... Yes, it was outside the bar! A


    man had kissed me, it was just a slight peck on my lips. That was my first kiss ... " Wi muttered to


    herself.


    The situation was not going great for Loomis.


    In his annoyance, he had managed to think of a way to spin this around, "You still remember your


    ex.boyfriend? "


    "Ex-boyfriend?" Wi echoed. She was at a loss.


    "Yes, don''t you remember what he did to you? He was abusive! He always treated you like dirt! He


    would always beat you, yell at you... Have you forgotten all that? The person who took your first kiss


    is a b*stard!" Loomis eximed.


    "A b*stard?" Wi was confused beyond belief now. She did not understand why she would cherish


    this kiss so much if that was the case. It simply made no sense!
