NovelEnglishChapter 1700:
Nalani’s face shifted with unease. That brief shift told Elwood everything he needed to know.
“I'm sorry, Elwood!” Nalani quickly said. “I heard from Belinda you might recover your memories, so | told Mom.
But | only did it because | thought it was best for you. It wasn’t until | heard you talking to Mom that day that |
realized | had made a mistake. | shouldn't have forced my own thoughts on you. | hated it when Mom used to say
she was acting ‘for my own good’ to control my life, like when she disapproved of my husband. But now, haven't
| done the sthing? Thinking it was for your benefit, Mom and | schemed with your therapist behind your
back to stop you from recalling your past.”
Nalani bit her lip, guilt etching her face. “I'm so sorry, Elwood. | was wrong. Yell atif you want.”
Her earnest apology left Elwood momentarily speechless.
After a pause, he met her gaze. “Since you see your mistake and regret it, I'll give you a chance to make things
right. Do you want it?”
“Yes. How can | make things right?” Nalani asked, her voice eager.

Mom are so set on keeping my past buried, which means something painful or unsettling must have happened.
Every tCarola’s ncomes up, my head hurts. | know she and | were involved romantically before. And the
way you and Mom act around Kylee—it’s obvious you both have a problem with Carola, and it’s tied to me.”
As he spoke, a shadow crept into his eyes. He looked at Nalani, his tone firm. “I want answers. Tellwhy.”
Nalani went quiet, caught off guard by his directness. For a long moment, she struggled to find words.
Eventually, she looked at him, her voice heavy. “I'm sorry, Elwood. | can’t give you what you're asking for.”
Biting her lip, she continued, “Letbe clear. | know now | was wrong to meddle in your life. But even so, | don’t
want you digging up the past. You're right—you and Carola were together once. But then, she betrayed you, and
that’s why you two broke up.”

Nalani took a deep breath, her cheeks flushing with indignation. “Not long after you broke up, Carola rushed into
marriage with her current husband, and within months, she was pregnant! How could someone so heartless like
her be worth your longing? So please, stop asking about her. I'm not telling you anything!”
Elwood stayed silent, his brows knitting tightly, a storm cloud settling over his face. Had Carola really betrayed
him in the past? And so soon after their breakup, she had married someone else and gotten pregnant.
Elwood'’s eyes narrowed as a sudden realization hit him. That child was Kylee. Could it be...
“Elwood? Elwood?” Nalani’s voice broke through his spiraling thoughts.
He steadied himself and met her gaze. She spoke again, softer now. “Elwood, just hearout. If you end up
remembering your past with her on your own, fine. But if you don’t, stop forcing it. Sometimes, not knowing is
better.”
