Chapter 612 Anxiety and Uncertainty
He had no memory at all of Elinor. Despite his amnesia, he felt nothing for Elinor.
Regarding Ava, he didn't remember anything either, but he clearly remembered his feelings for her. If he really liked Elinor, would the feelings disappear just because his memory was gone? Even if the feelings were gone, he shouldn't feel nothing at all when they met.
Seeing William's bewildered expression, Elinor quickly said, "You deceived her. You don't really love me. You truly love her. But for some reason, you didn't dare to tell her and pretended to like Elinor, and it just so happens that my name is Elinor. One day, Ms. Anderson probably wanted to meet the girl you liked, so Vicky brought me over to play the part. At that time, I was also very confused and didn't know what was happening, but after thinking it over, it was probably like that."
William remained silent for a long time after hearing this. He folded his arms, leaned back in his chair, and stared at Elinor with a serious expression, his brows furrowed.
Elinor felt uneasy. "Actually, this is just my guess. I am not sure if it's right, so you don't have to take it too seriously. Maybe when you regain your memory, you'll understand everything."
William pondered for a moment and finally said, "I think you are right. That's probably how it is. I finally understand why I kept feeling that Ava wanted us to be alone today. She might have wanted you to help me regain my memory, thinking that I love you."
At this, William forced a bitter smile and shook his head helplessly. " What a silly woman. Why didn't she even consider that while I don't remember her, I still remember my feelings for her?"
William lowered his head in disappointment. "No, she's not silly. She must know something. She's just avoiding it. And I lied to her, saying I loved another girl, so she seized this chance."
Seeing William's sad look, Elinor quickly comforted him. "She cares a lot about you. Maybe you should talk to her, telling her your true feelings. How will she know if you don't tell her?"
"What good would it do to tell her now?" William looked up and said, "I've lost my memory. She'd think I'm just leaning on her out of necessity and misinterpreting my feelings. I can already imagine her reaction. Besides, Alexander hurt her deeply. How could she trust another man so easily? Maybe before I lost my memory, I knew this and didn't dare to tell her. I made an excuse to deceive her, to keep her from avoiding me because I was afraid that if Ava knew I loved her, she would distance herself, hate me, or even fear me, thinking I would become another Alexander."
William lowered his head, his eyes gradually reddening. Though he had lost his memory, the feeling of anxiety and uncertainty remained.
Elinor was momentarily at a loss for words. She hadn't expected William to confide so much in her. They were just casual acquaintances.
Suddenly, William remembered something and looked up with an awkward smile. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you all this. You probably think I'm too annoying, right?"
"Not at all," Elinor quickly said, "Mr. Bennett, I'm glad you shared this with me. It shows you trust me enough to open up. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone."
