Chapter 860 Jordan’s Love For Garrison
Upon seeing Garrison walk out of Sotiria’s house, Jordan, who had been standing at the elevator entrance waiting for Garrison, greeted him and said respectfully, “Mr. Larson, I heard part of the conversation between you and Ms. Simmons. I think you’d be digging your own grave if you continued to go down this path.”
Garrison’s eyes turned cold immediately. “What did you just say?!”
“Um… I’m sorry, Mr. Larson. It might sound too much for me to talk to you like this.” Jordan lowered her head, her cheeks flushing as if they were on fire. “But I’m saying this because I’ve been thinking about your well-being completely from your perspective. I’ve been working for you for six years. I can see and feel how deep your love for Ms. Simmons is, so I fully understand your impatience when it comes to marrying her. However, have you ever thought that Ms. Simmons’s memory will recover sooner or later? When she realizes that you two are already married and have slept together as husband and wife after she gets her memory back and discovers her true identity, what will her reaction be?”
Garrison’s tall, well-built body visibly swayed at that moment.
“I think you must’ve thought of this and you know the answer very well deep down.” The bookish lady adjusted her silver-framed glasses. “So, Mr. Larson, please stop while it’s still not too late. Otherwise, you, the person who loves Ms. Simmons the most, will probably become the person she hates the most in the end.”
Garrison’s lips, which were as thin as paper, trembled faintly. “So, any idea how I should stop?”
Jordan shrugged. “It’s very simple. Cancel this wedding, take the initiative to meet Mr. Connor, tell him that Sotiria Green is Charlotte Simmons, and allow him and Charlotte...”
“No!” A deep voice interrupted Jordan’s words. Garrison’s eyes were suddenly as cold as a knife.
“You’ve never loved someone before, so you don’t understand at all. It’s an agonizing feeling to love someone but not be with her. I love her and I’m willing to give up everything as long as I can be with her!”
Jordan had never seen Garrison lose his head before. She was so scared that her back was pressed against the elevator wall, and she dared not utter another word.
As he was staring at Sotiria’s tightly closed door, Garrison’s Adam’s apple twitched. “I didn’t lie to her, nor did I do anything to wrong her. Back then, she made me a promise. She said that she would marry me as long as I waited for her at the Rainbow Bridge for ten years. I did it. She’s a wife that I won with my actions, and I believe that she wouldn’t blame me even if her memory were to recover someday.”
While looking at his expression, Jordan felt a gut-wrenching feeling deep down.
At that moment the elevator door had already closed, and Garrison’s gaze landed on Jordan’s face. “Jordan, you’re also a woman. Now, tell me, would you forgive me if you were her?”
Jordan smiled on the surface. “I’m not her, so how could I possibly know?”
But she thought to herself deep down, ‘Garrison! As long as you were willing to wait for me for a day on the Rainbow Bridge, as long as your gaze while you were looking at me could be half as affectionate as it is when you’re looking at her, I’d forgive you even if you’d harmed me very much.’

In the Divine Sanctuary District...
Zachary sat on the bed in the bedroom. His eyes, which looked as brilliant as crystals, were staring at the teddy bear in his hands.
“Second Master, where are you? Second Master...”
Seeing that Zachary was in the bedroom, Lucas immediately covered his mouth firmly with his hand.
‘See! Second Master is thinking about Charlotte again!
‘Ever since he and Charlotte got divorced, Second Master has kept her bedroom as it was the day before she left. For more than four years, he hasn't allowed anyone except him to enter the bedroom. He cleans the bedroom himself every day, he also sits on the bed and holds the teddy bear in his hands, reminiscing about the past...
‘That teddy bear is the very teddy bear Charlotte played with the most back then—if one were to look closely, one would notice that the teddy bear is full of pinholes because Charlotte would pierce it, pretending it was Second Master after he made her angry.’
