I attended an outdoor adventure with my husband when his first love suddenly passed away. That night, he left a suicide note and slit his wrists. Only then did I realize he never truly loved me. When I opened my eyes, I found myself back in my college days. This time, my husband firmly chose his first love. I knew he had also been reborn, but I didn’t try to interfere this time. Years later, we met again at a dinner party. He had become a successful young CEO, standing next to the woman he had always dreamed of. When he saw me, he frowned and said, “Emma Carter, you’re such a loser. I can’t believe I’d run into you here.” I ignored my ex-husband from my previous life and walked straight towards my daughter nearby. Seeing this, his face immediately contorted with anger, veins bulging on his temple: “Have you gone completely insane? Did you really marry someone else and have a child just to make me jealous?” His voice was filled with fury and disbelief. I froze for a moment when I spotted that familiar face in the crowd, surprise flashing in my eyes. I never expected to run into Jason Miller again at Alexander Sullivan’s homecoming party. In the crowd, Jason had his arm around Lily’s shoulders, smiling and greeting everyone. He was no longer the cold, aloof young man from years ago. “Congratulations, Mr. Miller! You’re now the youngest and most successful CEO in the financial sector of our city. You have a bright future ahead!” “That’s right, to receive an invitation from the Sullivan family at your age – you’re destined for even greater things.” “Is this beautiful lady your girlfriend? You two make such a lovely couple.” Faced with these compliments, Jason smiled politely and replied: “This is my fiancée, Lily. We’re planning to hold our wedding in July. I hope you all can attend.” Everyone eagerly expressed their intention to be there to celebrate. At this point, one of Jason’s old classmates curiously asked: “You two were known as the model couple in college. Why did it take so long for you to decide to get married?” Hearing this, I set down my glass and glanced in their direction. To be honest, I was quite curious about the answer myself. After all, in my previous life, Jason had chosen to follow Lily into death after she passed away. And when he returned to his college years, he immediately abandoned me to pursue Lily. I never expected that after all these years, they still hadn’t tied the knot. The situation was indeed a bit strange. Jason’s smile froze for a moment when he heard the question, a flash of embarrassment crossing his eyes. “Lily was the first girl I ever loved, and she’s the most important person in my life. I wanted to give her the best.” “So I’ve been working hard all these years, just to give her a fairy tale wedding.” As he said this, his eyes were filled with deep emotion. Lily smiled and responded, “I’m really looking forward to that day.” Seeing them like this, I couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional. So, when Jason truly loves someone, he considers their feelings this way. This was completely different from how he had treated me in the past. No matter how hard I tried back then, I couldn’t get him to agree to marry me. It wasn’t until I accidentally got pregnant and his grandfather pressured him that he reluctantly agreed to marry me. I really didn’t want to stay at this boring party any longer, so I stood up to leave. Just then, from the corner of my eye, I noticed a little girl with two pigtails hiding under a nearby table, secretly drinking juice. I couldn’t help but sigh as I walked over to her. Accidentally, I knocked over a glass on the table. Crash! The glass shattered, leaving shards all over the floor. “Who are you?” “How dare you barge in here?” “Do you know how much that glass costs?” A waiter nearby stopped me, his voice full of contempt. Everyone’s attention immediately turned to us. Jason looked at me in surprise, his eyes widening. “Emma Carter?” “You actually dared to crash the Sullivan family’s party for me?” Hearing this, the people around us looked confused: “Mr. Miller, are you saying she’s not an invited guest of the Sullivan family?” Hearing this question, Jason frowned, looking a bit uncomfortable as he said: “I’m sorry to disturb everyone. She’s my ex-girlfriend.” Hearing Jason’s words, everyone’s faces broke into knowing smiles. “Mr. Miller sure has good luck with the ladies! Both his ex and current girlfriend are beauties!” “Wait a minute, didn’t Mr. Miller say Lily was his first love?” “So what’s the deal with this ex-girlfriend?” Listening to the chatter, Jason’s face grew embarrassed. Lily, in his arms, looked at me with hatred and displeasure in her eyes. “Everyone’s misunderstanding,” Jason said. “She wasn’t really my girlfriend.” “She was just someone I used to relieve stress when Lily and I had a fight.” After explaining, Jason turned to a nearby waiter and said: “I’ll pay for the glass.” “Get her out of here.” Throughout this, Jason barely glanced at me, as if I were something shameful. I was speechless, but this was fine. I would never have anything to do with him again in this life. “Get going,” the waiter next to me pushed me impatiently. “Look at yourself. How could you even dream of being with someone like Mr. Miller?” The waiter said while looking disdainfully at my dust-covered workout clothes. I frowned and said: “Wait a minute, I still need to find someone. I’ll leave as soon as I do.” Hearing this, the waiter became angry: “Find someone?” “You think I’d believe that?” “I’ve seen plenty of women like you. Don’t think you can pick up men at this party.” Saying this, he grabbed my arm and started walking towards the exit. Just then, Lily suddenly called out from nearby. “Wait.” Lily walked over, arm in arm with Jason, looking smug. “Emma Carter, Jason never liked you. Stop clinging to him.” “We’re about to get married. Aren’t you basically a homewrecker at this point?” “That’s right,” Jason frowned, looking at me impatiently: “I never loved you, so stop deluding yourself.” “Even if it were 80 years instead of 8, I still wouldn’t be with you.” “How about this,” Jason pursed his lips and continued: “I’ll give you a million dollars if you promise never to show up in front of me again.” As he spoke, Jason asked Lily to take out his phone from her purse. When he opened Snapchat, Jason froze. “Emma Carter? Why did you block me?” Jason’s voice suddenly rose, his face full of disbelief. “What else could I do?” I sighed, my eyes flashing with helplessness. Since we had already broken up, why would I keep his contact information? Besides, my husband at home was a notorious jealous type. If he found out I still had my ex’s Snapchat, he’d surely make a big fuss about it. Hearing my words, Jason’s face grew even more unpleasant. Lily, seeing this, quickly said: “Emma Carter, how can you use such a cheap trick again!” “You don’t think this will make my Jason soften up, do you?” “Keep dreaming!” After saying this, Lily gently rubbed her chest against Jason’s arm, pouting: “Jason, don’t pay any attention to her.” “I bet she’s only doing this because she knows you’re a CEO now, that’s why she won’t let go!” “Women like her love to cling to powerful men!” “Mm,” Jason nodded, his eyes flashing with disgust. Lily looked me up and down, sneering: “You graduated from a top university, but instead of focusing on your career, you waste time seducing men.” “Look at how poor you are now, you’re worse off than a beggar!” Hearing her say this, I couldn’t help but laugh. Lily had truly forgotten how she used to live. Lily’s family had been poor for generations, living in a remote mountain village. What’s more troublesome was that she doted on her younger brother excessively, practically worshipping him. From childhood, she treated her brother like a precious treasure. After getting together with Jason, she exchanged all the gifts he gave her for money to give to her brother. The first time I met Jason was when he got injured at work trying to earn money to send red envelopes to Lily’s brother. He had broken his leg, and Jason’s family forced them to break up. That period was probably the darkest and most difficult time of his life. I stayed by his side, slowly helping him through those days. Jason loved to paint, so I found opportunities for him to exhibit his work everywhere, spending a lot of money on tickets. I also worked part-time as his driver and assistant, taking him around the world to see art exhibitions. I bought him the highest quality paper and paints. Not only that, but I was also responsible for all his daily needs. All he had to do was focus on creating art. Even his friends said I was the perfect girlfriend, worthy of the title. Everyone thought my love for him was so deep, but actually, he was the one who actively came to me saying he wanted to be with me. I never expected him to confess to me. Because he often used a secret account to follow Lily’s life online. I thought he still couldn’t forget her. But Jason looked at me earnestly and said: “Emma, you’ve given me hope again. Without you, I might not even be alive anymore.” “Actually, I fell in love with you a long time ago. I want to be with you every day.” These words deeply moved me, so I agreed to his request. We spent eight years together, even surprising Jason’s parents with how mature he had become. However, there was a secret that no one knew. During those eight years, I proposed several times that I wanted to start a family with Jason, but he always found excuses to refuse. It wasn’t until I accidentally got pregnant and his parents found out that he reluctantly accepted the child. Under strong pressure from his family, he grudgingly married me. Shortly after our wedding, while we were on an outdoor trip together, he accidentally learned that Lily had passed away. So he locked himself in his room for three consecutive days, not seeing anyone. On the fourth day, when I finally forced my way into the room, I only found a suicide note. [Lily is the only person I’ve ever truly loved in this life. Without her, my life has no meaning.] [I hope in the next life, I can give her the most romantic wedding.] Only then did I realize that just the night before, he had slit his wrists to follow Lily. At that moment, my heart turned completely cold. So, when I was reborn and returned to my college days, I didn’t try to win back Jason, who was determined to find his first love. Instead, I felt liberated and ready to start a new life. Just as I was about to leave, Lily suddenly rushed in front of me, her face full of smugness: “Emma Carter, look at the clothes you’re wearing. That workout outfit went out of style ten years ago!” “Your life is really pathetic!” “How about this? I’ll put in a good word with Jason and get you a job as a waitress here?” “Miss Parker is so kind,” someone nearby said flatteringly. That person looked at me with contempt: “This is the most high-end banquet hall in the city. Working as a waitress here can earn you over $200,000 a month!” “Someone like you has probably never seen so much money in your life!” “Hurry up and thank her!” Hearing these words, I glanced at her impatiently: “I already have my own job, no need for you to worry.” But Lily still wouldn’t let it go: “You’re not lying, are you? What kind of job?” “Painting,” I answered. Jason, who had been silent nearby, suddenly looked at me with a complex expression when he heard my answer. “Painting?” Jason said softly. After two years of not speaking, he looked at me with a complicated expression: “I used to say I liked painting just as a casual remark. I didn’t think you’d actually believe it.” “Forget it, for the sake of our past relationship, I can help you find a decent job.” I was stunned for a moment. Soon I realized Jason must have misunderstood. He probably thought I chose this path because of him. But that wasn’t the case at all. After being reborn, I discovered that all my money had been spent on buying exhibition tickets and art supplies. Not wanting to waste these things, I could only learn to paint myself. Gradually, I fell in love with the art of painting. Over the years, I’ve gained some fame domestically. Some places abroad even invite me to hold exhibitions. As a result, I now earn more money than Jason, the company CEO. However, I didn’t want to tell him any of this. After all, he never believed in me. Also… I looked down at my outfit. This workout set did look a bit shabby. I had no choice. I was brought here right after getting off the plane. I didn’t have time to change out of the clothes I wore while sketching in the mountains. But so what? I coldly said to Jason: “I love my profession and will continue with it. No need for you to worry.” Hearing this, Jason’s face immediately darkened.
