When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 280

Mamie offered a gentle smile. “Hi. Sorry, I was in a car accident and lost a lot of my memories from back home. So you’re saying we used to be roommates, right?”

They sat together in the school cafeteria, the clatter of lunchtime all around them.

Nora looked at her with a mix of surprise and concern. “Wow, I had no idea you lost your memory. That explains a lot. We tried messaging you so many times, but you never replied. We even left comments on your social media, but nothing.”

“Sorry, Mamie. We honestly thought you just didn’t want to talk to us after you went abroad.”

Mamie gave her an understanding smile. “I don’t blame you. I probably would have thought the same thing in your place.”

“Nora, could you tell me more about what happened back then? I really don’t remember much.”

Nora had stayed at the university after graduation for her PhD and ended up teaching there, which was the only reason they’d run into each other today.

Nora grinned. “Of course. You were incredible back then. The dean loved you. You were smart, your grades were always amazing, and you were gorgeous.”

“You were always busy, too, working part-time jobs whenever you had free time. Mamie...” Nora hesitated, looking like she wanted to say something more but wasn’t sure if she should. “Honestly, we were all a little shocked when you decided to go abroad.”

Mamie’s financial situation in college hadn’t been great.

Mamie’s heart felt heavy. “I went abroad with my uncle and aunt.”

“That explains it. I remember you mentioned having relatives overseas, but we lost touch these last few years.”

Nora rolled her eyes. “You wouldn’t believe it, but some people started rumors that you’d been kept by someone rich. Now that you’re back, I’m going to set the record straight for you.”

Mamie looked at Nora’s indignant face and felt oddly detached from all the gossip. “It’s fine. People can say whatever they want.”

“Mamie, let’s swap numbers. I have to run to class, but we can catch up more on our phones.”

“Sounds good.”
