Even though I didn’t answer, my silence was enough for Nathaniel to confirm his suspicions.
“Lily, what do you know?”
He probably didn’t know I’d been a ghost for forty Christmases.
I said, “I also know you took Lauren to my grave to beg me to forgive her. I’m not that vindictive, and I wouldn’t curse Lauren with cancer. I’m not like you two.”

Even though it was from my past life, bringing it up again still made me tremble with anger.
Quentin grabbed my shoulders, trembling as he said, “That’s because Lauren deceived me! I thought she was the one who saved me, so I agreed to fake my death and take her to Alaska. I really did want to live a good life with you!”

Quentin’s chest heaved violently. “Lily, I’ll make it up to you. I won’t go anywhere from now on–I’ll stay by your side. If Tom gets sick again, I’ll help you take care of him.”

Looking at Quentin’s helpless appearance, I thought he seemed like a child who never grew up–naive, foolish, and self–centered. His demeanor filled me with disgust.

“No need,” I said coldly.
From the day I was reborn, I’d instructed the housekeeper to take Tom for regular medical checkups. Fortunately, the results showed that Tom’s stomach condition hadn’t developed into anything serious yet–he just needed to take his medication on time.
Quentin was stunned.

Now I had nothing left to hide, so I said directly, “Meeting you is the biggest regret of my life, Quentin. I should have seen long ago that you’re a man without backbone.
“When I was fifteen, I embarrassed myself in front of you at the spaghetti dinner. Everyone laughed at me, and you just stood there watching me with disgust from afar. I’ll never forget that look on your face.
“When I was eighteen, I nearly got hit by a recruit during shooting practice in front of you. You were afraid that my watching you would cause you trouble, so when I fainted, you didn’t dare come near me, let alone admit you knew me.

“I used to think it was because I hadn’t married you. I thought once we got married, you’d take my side and protect me.

“But I was wrong. You’re just a selfish, hypocritical egoist. If I weren’t your savior, would you have come begging me?”
“But I was wrong. You’re just a selfish, hypocritical egoist. If I weren’t your savior, would you have come begging me?”
Quentin, a six–foot–tall man, suddenly collapsed as if he’d lost all
support.
He said, “I… I can change, Lily.”
Just then, Nathaniel kicked open the locked door of the private room. “Quentin, I warned you to stay away from Lily.”
Nathaniel rolled up his sleeves, ready to hit Quentin.
But Quentin acted completely indifferent, not struggling at all.
Lauren rushed in from outside, throwing herself onto Quentin and saying, “Quentin, let’s go home.”
“Us? What us? Liar!” Quentin shouted with red eyes.
I tugged at Nathaniel’s sleeve to stop him, saying, “Calm down. Do you want to end up at the police station like him?”
That day when Quentin and Lauren were arguing, he nearly strangled Lauren to death. If two passing officers hadn’t seen them, Lauren would have died. Quentin was immediately taken

Lauren’s parents weren’t people to mess with either. Lauren’s stepmother was determined to marry her into a wealthy family, so she used this opportunity to threaten Quentin into marrying Lauren. Sharon had no choice but to agree.
In my past life, Quentin married me and then regretted it, faking his death to run away with Lauren. In this life, he was actually forced to marry Lauren.

What a twist of fate.
