Chapter 2
“Sebastian, check it tomorrow. There’ll be a surprise,” I said softly.
His eyes landed on me, his brows knitting together. “You’re acting weird today. Are you so happy to marry me that you’ve gone crazy?”
Honestly, it was something to be happy about.
Because I finally got to see you alive again.
I smiled and said, “I think you’re the best person in the world. Anyone who marries you will be very lucky.”
He let out a cold laugh and turned away. If I hadn’t known he didn’t love me, I might have thought he was just shy.
Just then, I heard a young couple nearby chatting excitedly.
“There’s gonna be a once-in-a-century meteor shower tonight! Legend has it that couples who watch it together will stay in love forever. Let’s go see it, babe!”
My steps slowed.
I remembered that on this same day in my previous life, I had clung to a small, selfish hope that maybe Sebastian could fall in love with me if we watched the meteor shower together.
But all I got in return were his cold, cutting words. He had said, “A couple who’s just going through the motions watches a meteor shower, and you think that’ll make it real?
“By that logic, if the whole world watched it together, there wouldn’t be a single unhappy marriage. What kind of fantasy are you living in?”
This time, I didn’t dare to hope anymore.
But to my surprise, Sebastian suddenly spoke. “If you want to see the meteor shower, I’ll go with you. But don’t even think about a honeymoon. Work’s busy. I won’t have time.”
I looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to offer first. But then, almost immediately, I understood.
Sebastian might have had a sharp tongue, but he had always been kind at heart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have risked his life to save me three different times.
