The previously bustling comment section went silent.
If I didn’t know Sean had been reborn, I might have thought he’d be touched by this gift. For an eighteen–year–old Sean, a jar of pap- er stars might have been a precious, heartfelt gesture. Tender and beautiful.
But beneath his youthful exterior was the soul of a twenty–four–year–old man. A man who was used to gourmet food, who had seen countless luxury watches and cars, who took high–end gifts for granted.
Just a few hours ago, the Sean who died in a car crash was driving a Maybach from my garage. The soft leather of the steering wheel and the rough–hewn wood of this cheap box were worlds apart.
I smiled and took a watch box from my purse. I’d bought it on a whim while passing a luxury watch store earlier. Since this Eason Croft was now my boyfriend, I couldn’t be stingy.
I pushed the exquisite watch box towards him. “Boyfriend, it’s our first day together, too. This is my gift to you. See if you like it.” [Wait, wasn’t that the watch she gave the ML in the last life? Why is she giving it to someone else?]

【She’s definitely still playing hard to get, trying to get the ML’s attention. Trust me, she won’t last long.]
[Yep, the villainess is totally flustered. She’s lost her game plan.]
The watch gleamed under the lights. Eason, still reeling from the shock of the black card, was hit with another stunner. His hand trembled as he reached for the watch, but Sean’s roar stopped him.
“Don’t touch it!” he yelled. “That’s clearly my-”
He swallowed the rest of his words.
I knew what he wanted to say. That watch is his.
According to the comments, in his past life, he wore that watch for six years and adored it. Every night before bed, he would take it off, carefully polish it, and place it back in its box.
But this life was different. He now had the company of his beloved childhood sweetheart. Surely, he had no interest in such vulgar, material things anymore.
Molly’s face darkened, and she rolled her eyes at me. “So what if you’re rich? You reek of disgusting money. A heartless watch like that can’t compare to my stars, which are full of love. Right, Sean darling?”
Sean snapped back to reality and forced a smile. “Molly’s right.”
He gathered himself, about to serve his beloved some food, when his phone rang. It was a cheap burner phone with a terrible spe- aker. From a short distance away, I could clearly hear the cold female voice on the other end.
“Mr. Miller, it’s time to pay your mother’s hospital bills.”

The color drained from Sean’s face.
The comment section erupted in a panic.
[I almost forgot! The ML’s mother is seriously ill in the hospital, waiting for life–saving money!)
[I remember in the last life, the villainess just threw a million at the hospital, and the surgery went smoothly.】
