In my previous life, I was merely a supporting character, highlighting Damon’s deep love for another woman. Tragically, my story unfolded with devastating consequences, leaving my family in ruins and my life shattered. Upon my rebirth, I chose to adopt a carefree attitude, ignoring the situation and waiting for Damon to ask for a divorce. But something peculiar happened. The man who used to disappear for weeks suddenly started showing up every few days. “Do you think there will come a time when you’ll want me to disappear?” I queried. “Do not indulge in fantasies.” he retorted, “We’ll continue to torment each other until the end.” I sighed, as a reincarnated soul, confident that his destined soulmate would soon cross his path. Finally, he encountered her, and I believed freedom was within my grasp. Yet, he quietly…
When I heard my mom's words, I was kind of taken aback. I knew what she was getting at; she deeply hoped that Jones and I could end up together.
That harmonious scene before her eyes was what she wished for.

That was the case with me and Damon.
Jones and I made eye contact for a while, but neither of us said anything.
"I was thinking of making a seafood platter today. Are you down for that?" Jones changed the subject.
"Sure. Do you have the ingredients? Or do we need to run to the store?" I asked. The previous time when I was pregnant, I couldn't stand the smell of seafood, but this time, I was game for anything.
Seeing my food-craving face, Jones chuckled and said, "I've got it covered. I'll go get it."
