A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 713

Yvan watched in fury as Matilda was taken advantage of, time and time again. The boiling point was near; after all, she was his woman. Since when did it become okay for others to make moves on her?

“Dare lay a hand on me? Who the heck do you think you are?”

“I’m your worst nightmare!” Yvan couldn’t hold back and landed a kick right in the guy's unprotected face. Matilda screamed, “Stop, please!”

Yvan turned, pulling Matilda behind him. Ever since he’d lost his memories, he had been nothing but considerate towards her, acting like that charming boy-next-door. Indeed, Yvan cherished Matilda, always treating her like she was something precious to hold.

But this was the first time Yvan had ever yelled at Matilda, “Can’t we talk things out? Why run? Just take off without a word!

I’ve genuinely lost my memory, it’s not a game, nor am I trying to deceive you! If I did something in the past to hurt you, just tell me!

At this point, I’m so into you, you could retaliate in any way, and I wouldn’t utter a complaint. Is sulking alone fun for you? Don’t you know it breaks my heart to see you like this?”

Matilda, overwhelmed by Yvan’s barrage of shouts and scolding, burst into tears and pushed him away forcefully, “What right do you have to yell at me? You were the one who hurt me before, and you were the one who recklessly jumped, leaving me alone, waiting for you like a lost puppy! And now you return, forgetting everything. How could you be so cruel? What am I to you?”

Matilda, always so strong and dignified, to be wailing and screaming like this, her heart must be in agonizing pain.

The thought alone was enough to break Yvan. He stepped forward and held Matilda tightly in his arms, his hands trembling with anger, pressing the shivering Matilda against him as if afraid she would run away.
