Thanks to Zara Zoey’s red carpet appearance, our brand’s wedding dresses caught the attention of many A–list celebrities. Every day, I was thrilled by the increasing number of orders.
Until I saw Hanson Gabe..
Hanson walked in, grabbed my hand, and asked why Zara Zoey’s wedding dress wasn’t called “To Love.”
Why? Because I don’t love you anymore!
Wait, how did he know the dress used to called “To Love?”
Could it be… Hanson also got reborn?
No, that doesn’t make sense. In my previous life, after I died, he should have lived just fine.
Hearing my question, Hanson froze for distressed.
“Hanson… did you get reborn too?”
も
a
moment, his
expression changing rapidly. He alternated between grinning widely and looking utterly
I waved my
hand in front of his face, bringing him back to reality.
Then I heard a different story from Hanson.
It turns out that Hanson’s secretary, Secretary Bob, was actually working for Grandpa. Grandpa had always had high expectations for Hanson and would never allow someone as ordinary as me to marry into the Gabe family. Grandpa wanted to control Hanson’s life, including his marriage.
Hanson originally planned to fix the problems within the company, gain complete control, and then confront Grandpa.
But I ruined Hanson’s plan when I exposed
our
relationship to the media, causing a massive scandal.
Grandpa initially wanted to have me kidnapped and killed, but Hanson proposed to me publicly first. After our wedding, Grandpa continued to use me and my family as leverage to force Hanson into divorcing me, so Hanson had to act as if we were unhappy and that he despised me, in hopes of keeping me safe.
When he saw that we hadn’t divorced yet, Grandpa started drugging my food with psychiatric medications, causing me to experience hallucinations and eventually depression.
Hanson finally realized that the only way to protect me was to divorce me, which would free him to fight against Grandpa. But he didn’t expect that I would be so deeply in love with him that I would tolerate any humiliation, even his affair.
So, the scene I saw in the office was staged, and Zara approached me to provoke me into signing the divorce papers.
After hearing about my suicide, Hanson rushed back, only to get into a car accident. When he woke up, he found himself back at the time we first met. Determined to make things right, he decided to be better to me, hoping that I would trust his love and wait for him a little longer.
I couldn’t process everything Hanson told me.
“Nancy, I love you. I truly love you.”
“That’s why I want to treat you better and better”
“This time, I’ve planned ahead. The company is now under
“Marry me, Nancy.”
ty control, and Grandpa has lost his power. I have nothing to do with Zara Zoey!”
Looking at Hanson’s sincere expression, I pulled my hand away from his, “Treat me better? I haven’t felt it. What have you done for me? This so–called confrontation with your grandpa–it’s just your side of the story. I haven’t felt an ounce of love from you.”
Hearing this, Hanson lowered his head and said softly, “The red string I gave you wasn’t just any charm; it was a peace charm my mother gave
to me.”
“But you heartlessly cut it.”
As he spoke, Hanson’s eyes turned red.
I turned my back on him, not wanting to see him anymore. “Hanson, we both need some time
apart.”
“In my last life, lived for you. This time, I want to live for myself, to fulfill my own dreams and ambitions, instead of just being a wife who relies on her husband.”
“Like you said, your grandpa always thought I wasn’t worthy of marrying into the Gabe family. Even if you’re in charge now, it won’t change his perception of me.”
“You should go.”
With that, I headed upstairs without looking back. Whether what Hanson said was true or not, I had found immense satisfaction in my work
and designs during this time.
Watching people wear the wedding dresses I designed to marry the ones they love gave me a sense of accomplishment that I never had in my previous life–not even on the day I married Hanson.
