Chapter 40
For some reason, I didn’t doubt anything Gabrielle said. I just trusted her without question
She led me straight to the wine cellar. When she opened the door, I was so stunned that my mouth dropped open.
“Is this a winery Lasked in disbelief.
Gabrielle sindled. “You really forgot everything. There was a time when you and Jonathan were close. He personally taught you how to make wine. This winery was even designed especially for your”
Her words felt distant and strange to me.
I rubbed my temples. “Didn’t you say we didn’t get along? Lalmost tried to kill myself because of him. How could we have been close?
Gabrielle’s eyes flickered for a moment before she composed herself and said, “That was right after you got married. You two were doing well back then. It wasn until Alicia showed up that the tights began.”
She paused, then added, “Honestly, that makes sense. If you hadn’t liked each other at all in the beginning, you wouldn’t have gotten married.”
“I really want to know why I married Jonathan in the first place,” I said, looking at her in confusion. “We barely even knew each other”
Back then, I had secretly liked Jonathan but never had the courage to make a move.
1 was just like many other girls who admired him from atar. I could only watch him from a distance because I knew I wasn’t the wealthy, beautiful type. Gabrielle shook her head. “I don’t know how you two met, but when you started dating, you already planned to get married. You even sent me an invitation.” “oh“I mumed.
“Why don’t you ask than? cubdelle suppested.
1 shook my head. “That’s impossible. If I ask him, he’ll realize lost my memory, and the divorce will get complicated.”
Gabnelle nodded. “That’s true…”
She held my arm and walked inside. “Pick whatever you want: There are lots of wines in here that you and Jonathan made together. I heard you even registered a brand, but it was just for fun”
I couldn’t help but sigh. “He really is rich..”
Gabrielle nodded, “1 heard this wine cellar alone is worth 200 million dollars.”
