Chapter 98
William’s face instantly turned ashen. “No way. There’s no way you and Jackson are really together. He must’ve forced you, right?“} “Are you seriously sick in the head? Jackson and I are legally married. Why would he need to force me?“}]
William’s hands trembled as he held the ring. “But… but you loved me so much. I finally understand how I feel about you now. We were reborn for a reason. It’s heaven giving me another chance to see Sofia for who she really is and to realize that you and I are meant to be together.”
I let out a sigh. “William, this second chance wasn’t just given to you. Sure, you finally saw Sofia clearly, but I also saw you for who you really are. There’s no way we’re getting back together. Ever.”
William shook his head hard. “But I love you so much now. How do you expect me to just let you go?“}
Hearing that just gave me a headache. “Let go? I’m this close to showing my bump already and you still haven’t let go?“}
When William heard me emphasize the pregnancy again, his eyes lit up. “I understand! You want me to go through the ‘chasing my wife after she leaves‘ scenario, right? You can’t be pregnant now. Your health was so poor. How could you be pregnant after only half a year?“}]
William wasn’t wrong. In my previous life, I had a difficult time getting pregnant. I took a lot of medicine and it took many years before I finally received good news. Still, that was the previous life. I sighed. “The reason I had trouble getting pregnant in my previous life was that I went into the river to save you and damaged my body. It wasn’t that I was inherently difficult to conceive. You’re a teacher; you should have some basic knowledge, right? Don’t you know women shouldn’t be exposed to cold? It causes uterine cold, which affects fertility.”
William probably remembered. My health had always been good before and I never had period pain. However, I often had severe cramps after we got married. I told him repeatedly that it was due to being exposed to cold. Still, William always said I was being dramatic and trying to emotionally guilt–trip him. He never thought of making me a bowl of brown sugar water or giving me a warm compress. He never even considered that what I was saying was true. William’s expression grew even uglier. “Don’t you want me anymore? Don’t you even want our son? I don’t care that you’re pregnant. I can treat your child as my own.”
I impatiently interrupted William. “Son? That’s not my son. He’s your son. In my previous life, I was driven to death by that brat. I don’t want that kind of son.“”
William was already dead by then, so of course, he had no idea what his little wolf–in–sheep’s–clothing son had done. Still, blood doesn’t lie. That kid was just like him and he knew I wasn’t lying. He could feel it. William didn’t know what to say, but he also didn’t want to completely let go. He said desperately, “You’re willing to have a baby for Jackson, but he didn’t even come to pick you up after work. Is that what you call love?“}
I pointed into the distance. “Jackson just went to buy me a hot dog. You don’t have to believe me, but I’m still going to tell you anyway. Jackson and I really love each other. I think heaven gave me a second chance just so I wouldn’t miss out on him again.”
After that, I didn’t give William another glance. I slowly walked toward Jackson. He looked more nervous than I’d ever seen him. After I asked a few times, he finally admitted, “I bought the food a while ago, but I saw him proposing to you. I was so scared you’d say yes.“}
I smiled and patted his head. “Even if you hadn’t agreed, I wouldn’t have.“}
Jackson looked at me, finally seeming to believe that I wouldn’t leave him.}
