Hearing this, Alex’s gaze became even more intense.
In my previous life, I had swallowed all my grievances and pain.
This time, with Alex by my side, I naturally can’t let myself suffer even a bit of wrongdoing.
Hearing me speak, Alex immediately wanted to get up and confront Jake.
Fortunately, I stopped him in time.
I leaned in and whispered a few words in Alex’s ear.
To deal with them, simply beating them up and saying a few harsh words would be too easy.
Since they want to get engaged, I should send a gift as well.
After I finished speaking, Alex turned his head. Our eyes met, and I couldn’t help but want to back away.
But Alex was quicker than me. He grabbed the back of my head and kissed me.
“You’ll have to make it up to me properly today…” he said.
As the night deepened, the temperature in the room kept rising….
Jake and Chloe were busy preparing for their engagement party these past two days, so they didn’t have time to bother me.
And I was happy to be left alone.
But on this day, just as I had left the house, a large car suddenly lost control and came speeding towards me.
Looking at the driver in the car, my pupils constricted.
It was the same person who had hit and killed me in my previous life.
This was no accident!
I wanted to run, but my legs felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move.
In that split second, someone suddenly rushed out from behind me and pulled me aside.
Seeing this, the car abruptly turned and fled.
“How could you go out alone? Don’t you know how much Chloe hates you?” Alex yelled at me angrily.
Remembering the feeling of being hit in my previous life, my eyes couldn’t help but turn red, and tears fell in large drops.
Seeing this, Alex pulled me into his arms.
“Don’t cry. I shouldn’t have yelled at you.”
The more he acted like this, the more my heart ached, and my tears fell even more uncontrollably.
“Someone wants to harm me.” It was the same in both lives.
After that day, Alex watched me even more closely, wanting to accompany me at all times.
Soon, it was the day of Chloe and Jake’s engagement.
Alex and I had received invitations early on.
In my previous life, today was the day of my death. But in this life, it’s not me who should die.

The engagement party was very grand.
Chloe was dressed up like a flamboyant peacock.
Seeing me arrive, the hatred in her eyes was about to overflow.
Since she wanted my life, there was no need for me to be polite with her anymore.
“On such a happy day, why don’t you look happy? Could it be that you’ve realized Jake doesn’t really love you and you’re upset?” I asked.
Hearing my words, Chloe’s face became even more unsightly.
“Nonsense! Jake loves me very much. Today’s engagement party is enough to prove it. Everything here was personally arranged by Jake.”
Looking at the scene before me, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Is that so?”
“But do you know that everything here was arranged according to my preferences?”
“The pink starry sky, the giant crystal chandelier, and the wall full of roses.”
