Chapter 264: Do I Know You?

Iris’s heart started to tremble when she heard his warm voice greet her. But a second later, she feels tense and confused simultaneously.

’How does he know my name?’

She wonders whether the man before her is Xavier, in disguise, or someone else.

Slowly, Iris’s gaze moved down from his face to his neck, then his chest. She silently swallowed when she saw him only wearing a dark black robe and black pajama pants. His robe was left open, revealing his toned chest and his delicious six-pack abs.

Even though this was not the first time she had seen this masculine yet tempting body — Xavier also had this alluring body build — strangely, this man could make her cheeks feel warm.

Not wanting to look at this man’s flawless build further, she turned her gaze elsewhere while trying to calm her mind and heart. She didn’t know what had happened to her; she didn’t feel this man threatened her. His gaze, attitude, and aura seemed friendly.

For some unknown reason, even though she didn’t know who he was, being under the same roof as him made her forget that this man actually kidnapped her.

...

Xyronos couldn’t hide how happy he was to show himself in front of the woman he loved.

He realized Iris still had no memories of him at all, but he didn’t care; he would make sure to make her remember him. And he would make sure this woman fell in love with him again.

Knowing he didn’t have much time, Xyronos decided to tell her the truth. He slowly walked towards her; every step he took, his gaze never left her, even though she refused to look at him.

Iris was utterly frozen, looking at the man now approaching her. She didn’t say any words. She only avoided his gaze.

Xyronos was amused and happy that Iris didn’t seem afraid of him. This was a good sign for him to approach her. He stopped his steps just a step in front of her. He could feel the turmoil within his body as soon as he smelled her familiar sweet scent of flowers torture his nostrils.

Even though thousands of years have passed, he will never forget her scent. He firmly pressed his urge to pull her into his arms. However, he didn’t want to confuse her further before he told her who he was.

He touched her chin and gently made her look at him. When he saw her confused yet beautiful eyes, he smiled lovingly at her.

Staring at her this closely, he seemed to be drawn back to their past when the two of them were in love—before her parents forbade them to continue their relationship and before his damn older brother came between them and ruined everything.

This time, he vowed not to let anyone get in their way. He would never allow her to go, either.

After seeing her eyes, his gaze fell on her cherry lips. Instantly, he could feel his blood boiling, awakening his desire. He silently swallowed to divert his mind to eat her alluring lips.

"Iris, I know you’re confused and want to know about me, right?"

She was indeed confused about who he was. However, her voice betrayed her. She completely lost her ability to say anything. She could only nod in response to his question.

"Okay, let’s move—" He placed his hand on her waist and pulled her into his arms.

Iris was utterly shocked when her face touched his sturdy chest. Just before she wanted to push him away, they vanished and appeared in the bedroom. She opened her mouth to say something, but once again, she was stunned beyond words.

She could only follow him to the seating area, and only then did she notice her small hand in his palm. Before she knew what had happened, she already sat on a single sofa.

At least he allowed her to sit alone. This relieved her as she saw him sitting opposite her.

Iris stared at him sharply, annoyed because this man had no manners. How dare she touch her!? She was a married woman, not some random woman he could treat as he pleased.

"You know what Iris?"

Iris frowned, hearing his question. Even though she wanted to talk back to him, she couldn’t. She guessed this man suppressed her ability to speak. She could only glare at him as if she wanted to slap him with her sharp glare.

"You look so freaking sexy when you show your anger like that, dear." His smile grew wider when he saw her expression turn dark.

’What are you doing to me? Did you suppress my ability to talk!?’ Iris tries to communicate with him through her mental connection because she can’t voice her words.

Xyronos’ face turned shocked when he heard a soft yet angry voice in his mind. He held back his laughter because he forgot to remove the seal he put on her when he stole her from her house.

"Apologized, my dear," He smiled faintly before continuing. "Alright, you might ask me now, Iris," He said warmly.

Iris flinches as if his voice tickles her ears. No, as if this man made her heart and mind calm. She feels her anger toward him gradually fade.

’Damn! Why does this man have such a powerful mental mind!?’ Iris feels helpless under his spell.

The anger that had almost burned her heart suddenly disappeared in just a short time. She felt her heart and mind calm. She felt like she had known him for so long, but strangely, in her memories, she had never seen this man before.

Iris could feel his gaze was peculiar. She noticed the man looking at her as if he had finally found someone he’d missed dearly. He also knew her name. The strangest part was his ability to affect her emotions.

How could he do that? Even Xavier could never influence her thoughts and emotions.

"Do I know you?" She looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Xyronos appeared calm, but internally, he was hurting. This woman had been willing to sacrifice her life for him in the past, yet now, she seemed to have completely forgotten about him.
