Chapter 6

I paused, stunned, then turned back and said, “It has nothing to do with me anymore. Don’t worry, you’ve already paid off the kindness the Knight family owed my parents.”

But during the following days, every time I went downstairs, I saw him in the lobby. I grew impatient. “Go back I said, “nothing can happen between us!”

“It doesn’t matter.” He sat there, arms crossed, looking dejected. “I won’t bother you. I just want to see you.”

But the lobby is always busy, and everyone keeps asking me about you. You’re making this so difficult!” I said.

He looked at me with his captivating eyes, finally nodded, and left.

After that, he never appeared in the lobby again. But a Ferrari was now parked downstairs. Every time I passed by, I saw him sitting in the car, watching me with a desolate expression.

I have a bit of a headache. We were like fire and water in my previous life, so why is he still relentlessly chasing me even after I chose to let him go this time? I knocked on his car window and said, “Go back home. I still won’t return with you even if you’re here.”

“I’m not going back,” he said, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly. “…I finally found you.”

His eyes were incredibly deep. In that instant, my heart skipped a beat–that was the look he used to give me in my previous life. Did he also experience rebirth? But if he did, shouldn’t he be marrying me.”

I sighed and said, “I can’t control what you do in a public place, but I hope you won’t bother.”

His eyes lit up, and he nodded. “Okay.”

The next day, I called Jasper to pick me up. I was about to go to him after seeing him downstairs, but I heard a voice behind me: “Scarlett!”

Jasper and I turned around. Asher seemed to want to step forward, but remembering his promise, he forcibly stopped himself. “Are you leaving with him?”

I nodded. “I feel uncomfortable every time you wait here. It’s better if Senior picks me up.”

“Scarlett!” He hurriedly called out as I was leaving, “Don’t go with him…”

Looking at his slightly heaving chest, I became even more certain–he was also reborn. In our previous life, Asher and I disliked each other, and neither of us could reach the other’s heart.

So he had female confidantes, and I had a male confidant: Jasper, after his fall from grace. He suffered a sudden misfortune, and I, as a former fellow disciple, reached out to help him.

From then on, he wholeheartedly became my assistant. On countless nights when Asher hurt me, he listened to me cry until he coaxed me to sleep.

Jasper and I never crossed any lines, but that didn’t stop Asher from disliking him, not out of possessiveness, but simply because of a man’s pride.

And Jasper never avoided Asher. In the years before I died, the two men even came to blows.

While tending to Jasper’s wounds, I saw the sadness and loneliness in his eyes. I sighed deeply, saying, “If you’re unhappy, I can divorce him.” Jasper visibly tensed, but the words caught blows.

While tending to Jasper’s wounds, I saw the sadness and loneliness in his eyes. I sighed deeply, saying, “If you’re unhappy, I can divorce him.”

Jasper visibly tensed, but the words caught in his throat, becoming a sigh instead:

“I’m insignificant. Just being able to stay by your side is enough. I’ll try my best not to cause you any more trouble.”

Now, I see Asher looking at Jasper with the same expression he had in my past life. If that’s the case, why am I so determined to repeat history?

So, I took Jasper’s arm and said, “Don’t concern yourself with me anymore. You have no right to.” Jasper stiffened, then obediently allowed me to hold his arm.

Asher’s eyes reddened. “Does he have the right, then?”

“Perhaps,” I said with a smile, opening the car door.

“Scarlett!“” Asher’s voice trembled slightly as he called out.

I turned back to see him leaning forward, as if wanting to grab me. But seeing my frown, he forcibly restrained himself, only gazing at me intently. “Scarlett…”

A dull ache resonated in my heart; thirty years couldn’t be forgotten in an instant. I gripped the car door, gritted my teeth, turned away, and got into the car.
