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 89: FUTURE PLANS
People were quite familiar with Whitey, whom she had started showing a few months ago. Having a cat or a dog as a pet was understandable, though it was known as an expensive hobby to have. But keeping reptiles and snakes mostly was unheard of.
She was someone who had people's tongues wagging already and didn't want to cause more chaos.
So, by the time Susan and her mother reached her, Blackey was docile and dormant on her wrist as if he was dead.
'What a well-behaved son!' she internally praised as she rubbed the spot where she was.
"Good morning, Auntie! How are you feeling?" feeling a bit excited and in a very good mood, Calista greeted Ma Susan, who was busy scanning her from head to toe with a foolish grin on her face.
Reaching her hands towards Calista, Ma Susan asked Calista, "Dear, how are you feeling? Did you sleep well? You don't feel any other symptoms?" her tone laced with anxiety and worry, and that foolish grin got thrown away.
