- 3.
Seeing this message, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
So I wasn’t the only one who had been reborn.
<
In my past life, after Caleb accepted the engagement, I thought he had been moved by my sincerity.
After all, I had chased after him for over a decade. Even a rock should have been warmed up by now, right?
I never expected that he only accepted the marriage to thoroughly humiliate me at the wedding.
In front of all the guests, he tightly held Lily’s hand.
He announced to everyone that he could never marry me, that Lily was the only one he loved and would marry in this life.
I was utterly humiliated, standing alone in my wedding dress, trapped in awkward emotions.
Everyone in our social circle knew how much I liked him. I had even made myself deathly ill, just to get my parents to agree to an engagement with the Johnson family.
I had lowered myself so much, shaming myself and my parents, only to be repaid with Caleb’s revenge.
He resented me for using my family’s status to force an engagement, making him and Lily separate.
I also passed away from illness. I never want to experience that kind of suffering again.
So after being reborn, I gave up on Caleb and chose his brother Ethan instead.
But I never expected that this time, my marriage to Ethan would proceed so smoothly.
There were no obstacles. I just had to wait patiently for the wedding next month to arrive on schedule.
In my past life, Ethan had always worked abroad and never married.
Everyone thought he had some unspeakable issue. Even my grandfather asked me to confirm again when he heard I decided to marry Ethan.
Was I really sure I wanted to marry Ethan?
I nodded. Even if he had some physical problem, so what?
If I had to choose between them, a life of mutual respect was far better than one full of scars.
The next day, I went to the jeweler to pick up the wedding rings for Ethan and me.
But the staff informed me that the rings had already been taken by Mr. Caleb Johnson
This jewelry store was under the Johnson Group. If Caleb wanted to take them, the staff couldn’t stop him.
Out of all the couples‘ rings, he just had to take my wedding rings.
Anger suddenly flared up inside me, because those rings were my own design.
Since childhood, I’d had a dream of wearing rings I designed myself at my wedding to the man I loved.
In the past, I thought the man wearing the matching ring would be Caleb.
But now that the groom had changed, I’d torn up that old design and made a new one specially for Ethan.
Yet Caleb had snatched them away.
Just as I was about to call Caleb to demand an explanation, I suddenly saw Lily’s new post on social media.
[A one–of–a–kind ring from my beloved.]
The photo showed her and Caleb wearing the rings I had designed.
People flooded the comments with congratulations.
