A Love Reborn: Finding Romance Twice In One Lifetime
After being flogged to death for a crime she didn’t commit, Calista received a second chance when a system contracted her. It was simple: complete tasks and she could earn a second chance in life. After completing several of them, the chance to reincarnate in her original world and body was finally granted to her. However, unlike others, she didn’t want revenge against the people who killed her or wanted to unmask what truly transpired back then. All she wanted was to live peacefully and enjoy the bounty benefits which came with the reincarnation. And that was something she found when she met a man she fell in love with in some backward village. Unfortunately, all that was broken when her husband of five years perished at the hands of bandits. Things went downhill when Calista married her second husband, Orson, an amnesiac man whom she scammed into marrying her. But things weren't as simple as they seemed— Orson might be hiding some secrets of his own. Led on a path of revenge that Calista never thought she would be on, she soon realized that Orson might have more to do with her first life and death than he led on. If he knew she was still alive, he might kill her again. That meant that this time, Calista might have to strike first.
CHAPTER 60: WALKING THE WALK
"Oh, my goddess! That's your husband? He is a handsome lad!"
"Is he a scholar?"
The more she listened to these villagers praising her husband, the prouder she became.
'It was a good thing I had him take the medicine!' she sighed, relievedly thinking of how her last-minute decision brought good results.
At least with Orson showing his handsome face, those who loved talking behind other people's backs wouldn't have many bad things to say.
With such a handsome face, how could they dare talk nonsense?
"Hehe, thank you. I do have a good choice, don't I?"
"Your choice is impeccable!" the granny, who had asked before, praised her wholeheartedly.
"Haha, thank you very much, everyone!"
Watching as Calista stopped now and then as she boastfully introduced him to the villagers, he cooperated well and by the time they arrived at the village chief's house, the old man was already tired of waiting.
