After returning to the late 1960s, my mother Lydia Taylor asked me to choose who I wanted to marry. This time, I chose no one. Instead, I decided to head west to participate in infrastructure development projects. In my previous life, Colonel Waylon Ward, who had grown up with me since childhood, and my fiancé Caleb Smith both pursued me, and I genuinely cared for them both. However, just as I was contemplating which one to choose as my husband, they were unexpectedly drugged. In my confused state, I ended up sleeping with both of them. Later, I discovered I was pregnant. Since I didn’t know whose child I was carrying, my father Colton Taylor and Lydia decided I should marry both men. However, on our wedding day, when Ava Mitchell—the woman both Waylon and Caleb truly loved—learned they had married me, she angrily accepted a proposal from some lowlife thug. After marrying that scumbag, Ava was forced to bear ten children in succession and eventually died a tragic death. After Ava’s death, Waylon and Caleb grabbed me by the throat and demanded: “Naomi Taylor, why did Ava die so miserably while you get to live comfortably?” Waylon and Caleb strangled me to death. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day they were drugged. ***** “Naomi, I’m burning up…” a male voice called out. Hearing that familiar voice and feeling the heat radiating from the body against mine, I suddenly realized I had been reborn. I used every ounce of strength to push away the two men blocking my path and tried to run outside. But Caleb wrapped his arms around my waist. Waylon also stepped forward, touching my face with a dazed expression as he murmured, “Naomi, don’t leave. I’m in so much pain. Please help me, won’t you?” Remembering the tragic ending of my previous life, I struggled with all my might. Finally, I grabbed the radio from the cabinet and struck Caleb hard on the head. Then I pushed both men away and fled the room in panic. I pressed my hand against my racing heart and quietly hid nearby. Sure enough, after a short while, Ava appeared at the doorway. She carefully looked left and right, then decisively opened the door and walked inside. Soon, intimate sounds drifted from the room. I let out a cold laugh and returned to my own room. In my previous life, after that night, I unexpectedly became pregnant. With no other choice, both men had to marry me. Since my sister had died young, marrying both of them meant having an extra person to care for me, so Lydia and Colton were quite satisfied. Unfortunately, neither Waylon nor Caleb was willing. Waylon was a child adopted by Lydia and Colton. We had grown up together. I had originally thought that when we came of age, we would be together. But later, he joined the army and became a colonel. When he returned, he told me he wanted to pursue freedom. I let him go. At that time, Caleb was constantly hovering around me, so I gained a new fiancé. But I never expected both of them to be mysteriously drugged. In my previous life, unable to bear seeing them suffer, I allowed myself to sink into that mistake. After our marriage, I was immersed in what I thought was happiness, but I failed to notice their looks of disgust. Finally, after Ava married a terrible man and died tragically, they both completely lost their minds. They not only imprisoned me but also strangled me to death. Since that’s how it was, in this life I would fulfill their wishes. In my previous life, to marry them and be with them, I had given up my own dreams and aspirations. In this life, I wouldn’t be so foolish again. “Ah!” Early the next morning, a scream came from the room next door. I leisurely followed behind the crowd as we walked over, finding a group of people constantly looking back and forth at the doorway, their gazes toward me filled with sympathy. Colton and Lydia were so furious they nearly fainted. The room was thick with tension, and Waylon, Caleb, and Ava all looked terrible. “This is my fault. It has nothing to do with Ava. She’s a victim too. I’ll marry Ava.” Waylon spoke first. If you ignored the marks on his body and his bare chest, he actually sounded quite responsible. Caleb’s face flushed red, but after hearing Ava’s sobs, he also said, “I’m sorry to Naomi. I’ll call off the engagement. Naomi, just tell me what compensation you want. Ava is already mine now, and I can’t wrong her. I’ll marry her too.” Everyone was shocked by his words. I snorted coldly. “So what you’re telling me is that you two got drunk and ended up in my bedroom, and then Ava, who lives on the other side of the village far from here, mysteriously appeared in your bed and slept with both of you?” After hearing my words, Ava’s face turned red and tears streamed down her cheeks. “I don’t know. I really don’t know. If you don’t believe me, I can only prove my innocence by dying.” With that, she tried to throw off the blanket and crash into the wall. But she was quickly caught by both Caleb and Waylon, who held her with heartache. “How could this be your fault, Ava? If it weren’t for you, something terrible would have happened to us last night.” Waylon turned to glare at me angrily. “Naomi, as a fellow woman, can’t you show some empathy? Ava is already suffering enough. Do you have to drive her to death?” I said coldly, “Right. My best friend slept with my fiancé and the guy I grew up with, and I’m not even allowed to ask questions. So what does that make me?” Though my heart ached, in this lifetime, I didn’t want to get entangled with them anymore. So I ignored their embarrassed and guilty looks and said calmly, “Since you’ve already been intimate, let’s end our engagement here. From now on, whether it’s Caleb’s and my engagement or our family’s kindness in adopting Waylon, it’s all settled. We have no relationship whatsoever.” After hearing my words, they were initially happy, but soon looked at me with suspicious eyes, somewhat hesitant. At this moment, Lydia shouted loudly, “What kind of joke is this? Do you think the Taylor family’s daughter is someone you can just discard at will? This engagement cannot be canceled.”
Hearing Lydia’s furious words, Caleb seemed to suddenly understand something and laughed mockingly, “I was just wondering why Naomi would be so kind-hearted. Turns out you all had other plans. Yes, I did receive a lot of care from you when I was first assigned here, but that doesn’t mean I have to sacrifice my entire life for you.” Waylon also looked disapproving as he said, “I’m grateful that Colton and Lydia adopted and raised me during Christmas, but my heart belongs only to Ava. I can’t betray her. Naomi can only be a sister to me.” After hearing their words, Lydia’s face turned red with anger. She pointed at both of them furiously, looking like she might faint at any moment: “You two ungrateful bastards!” Afraid that Lydia might get sick from their anger, I scolded them: “I won’t marry either of you. Leave my house right now! From now on, I have nothing to do with any of you three!” After saying this, I ignored everyone’s expressions and helped Lydia back to her room, comforting her softly: “Mom, I really don’t want to get married anymore. I just want to live for myself for once. I want to follow my teacher’s advice and go west to contribute my strength, instead of tying my whole life to two men who don’t have me in their hearts.” In my previous life, Colton and Lydia supported my education, but because I couldn’t bear to leave Caleb, I refused my teacher’s proposal and stayed with Caleb in this small mountain village. After we accidentally got married, I completely abandoned everything I had learned and became a full-time housewife. But even so, I didn’t earn their respect and love—instead, I became a joke. Thinking about this, my heart felt a dense, stabbing pain that almost made it hard to breathe. Lydia stared at me for a long while, then finally sighed and said, “Alright, Naomi, you’re very promising. Let’s make those two bastards regret it! I’ll just consider all the kindness I showed them as feeding the dogs!” Soon, news that Ava was going to marry both Caleb and Waylon spread throughout the village, and gossip about them grew more and more. Some said it was shameless for one woman to marry two men, while others said I must have some hidden illness—otherwise, why would both Caleb and Waylon abandon me? But none of this mattered to me anymore. The transfer order to go west had already come down, and I would be leaving in a few days. My most important task now was to prepare some supplies to take with me, since resources were scarce there. So I took the money Colton and Lydia had given me, along with my own savings, and rode my bicycle alone to the county agricultural cooperative. I had plenty of money, so I was quite generous when shopping. In the past, I would have saved all my money for Caleb, Ava, and Waylon to spend. Now thinking about it, I was ridiculously foolish. As if to make up for how I had shortchanged myself before, I shopped with great enthusiasm. Ready-made clothes, fabric, fine cotton quilts, water bottles—I bought everything. My mood gradually became more cheerful with each purchase. This was the life I should be living. In my previous life, I had actually compromised myself for men—I was simply too stupid. Just as I was immersed in the joy of shopping, someone suddenly grabbed my wrist tightly, causing a sharp pain. Caleb asked, “Naomi, why did you follow us to the agricultural cooperative?” He continued, “Don’t think that just because you’re pestering me, I’ll soften and marry you. My heart belongs only to Ava. We’re getting married in seven days, and nothing you do can break us apart!” “Caleb, Naomi probably just can’t let go of you right now. Don’t be so harsh with her, okay?” Ava said. Looking at these two people’s performance in front of me, I impatiently shook off Caleb’s hand. Who cares when they get married? I’m heading west in seven days. If they delay me, can they afford to compensate for that?” “Excuse me, could you please move aside? You’re blocking me from shopping,” I said. Caleb was pretty angry after I shook off his hand. But when he saw what I was carrying, he suddenly seemed to understand something and sneered, “What’s this? Did you specially buy stuff for our wedding?” As he spoke, he looked up and down at the items in my hands. All three of them showed obvious greed and arrogance on their faces. Caleb even reached out directly, trying to take the things from my hands: “Since you’ve already bought them, it’d be wasteful not to use them. We’ll take them.” He added, “But I have to say something to you. Instead of buying all this useless stuff, you should’ve saved the money to buy us the wedding gifts we actually want.” Waylon chimed in, “Exactly, Naomi. How can you be so wasteful with money? Ava’s different from you—she’s very frugal.” Watching their little performance, I actually found it somewhat amusing. But my grip on the shopping bags tightened, refusing to let go. “Let go! These are things you bought for us, so why won’t you let go? We can carry them back ourselves!” Unable to snatch the items from my hands, Caleb grew increasingly impatient. “These are my things, and I’m taking them back myself,” I said. “You’re just going to deliver them to us anyway, aren’t you? Why make such a fuss?” Caleb said shamelessly. Hearing his words, I smiled speechlessly and prepared to leave. Waylon then said, “Naomi probably rode her bike here, so carrying things is very convenient for her. She just needs to deliver everything to our place before the wedding—saves us the trouble. Naomi’s so thoughtful, buying everything we need. We don’t have to get anything else now. Since it’s still early, why don’t the three of us use the money we saved to go have a nice meal at a restaurant?” Upon hearing this, both Caleb and Ava lit up with delight. Who wouldn’t want to save money to enjoy delicious food? So Caleb waved his hand dismissively and said, “You’d better head back now. Make sure you take good care of our stuff—if anything goes missing, I’ll teach you a lesson!” Then the three of them stopped looking at me and walked away, chatting and laughing. Looking at the items in my hands, I could still hear them discussing what to eat, and I found it all ridiculous. What made them think that after hurting me like this, I would still try to please them? Right now, I just wanted to get as far away from them as possible. But since they had misunderstood, I didn’t feel like explaining. After all, I hadn’t said anything just now—they had assumed all of this themselves. If their wedding turned out to be pathetically shabby, it would be exactly what they deserved.
Over the next few days, I enjoyed Colton and Lydia’s doting care at home. They made sure I ate until I was stuffed every single day, refusing to let me stop, worried that I’d suffer hardships out west and wanting to fatten me up first. I couldn’t handle this overwhelming love anymore, so while they were in the kitchen making soup, I quietly slipped out for a walk to digest my food. But I never expected to run into Ava. I felt disgusted and turned to leave immediately. But Ava acted like she couldn’t read my intentions and quickly chased after me. “Naomi, are you still mad at me?” Ava asked. Then she said with a sob in her voice: “I didn’t want things to turn out this way either. I don’t know why I woke up in that bed. But what’s done is done. If I don’t marry them, I won’t be able to survive. Please forgive me, okay? Let’s be friends like we used to be?” Hearing Ava’s words, I only felt how fake she was. She was the one who drugged them, and she was the one who opened the door and entered the room. What was this act for now? I said coldly: “Whatever happens between you three from now on has nothing to do with me. I wouldn’t dare have a friend like you. “Before, I thought your family was poor, so I shared all my good food and fun things with you. Is this how you repay me? Ava, having a friend like you just makes me sick. “Perfect – those two men are shameless too. You three deserve each other.” Hearing my harsh words, Ava’s face grew darker and darker. Finally, her eyes turned red and she smiled viciously. She said: “Stop pretending in front of me. I know how much you’ve loved them since we were kids. Originally, after I got Waylon, I was ready to give up. But then you had to go and talk about how learned Caleb was right in front of me. Why should you get to find an even better man after losing Waylon? Why should I be the only one living miserably?” Ava looked vicious, like she’d gone crazy, as if she wanted to provoke me. But I felt completely calm and just wanted to get away from her quickly and go home for soup. “Yeah, you’re right. Congratulations on getting everything you wanted,” I said. Ava was stunned for a moment and asked: “What are you pretending for? Aren’t you angry?” Angry? I used to be angry. But now, I didn’t want to waste my emotions on a bunch of jerks anymore. I wanted to leave, but Ava grabbed my hand. I felt annoyed and shook her hand off. Strangely, even though I clearly didn’t use much force, Ava suddenly fell backward and rolled down the small slope behind her. “Ah!” Ava screamed. Before I could react, Caleb and Waylon ran past me and nervously picked up Ava. “Ava, how are you? Are you hurt?” Ava’s eyes were red, and she shook her head with tears in her eyes. “I’m fine. Caleb, Waylon, don’t blame Naomi. She didn’t mean it.” Hearing this, Caleb and Waylon got even angrier. Caleb said: “Are you still going to cover for this shrew? She used to bully you before, and now she dares to do this right in front of us. Ava, you don’t need to be so kind.” After saying that, Caleb walked up with a fierce expression and grabbed my face hard. “I used to think you were just naive, but I never imagined you could be so vicious. If something happens to Ava, can you afford to compensate?” “If I said I didn’t push her, would you believe me?” I asked calmly. “Bullshit! Are you going to say Ava rolled down there by herself? How can you be such a liar? I really think I was blind before to think you were good.” Caleb roared. Hearing Caleb’s harsh words, I laughed bitterly at myself. Who else was blind but them? I was the blind one, unable to see their true nature. My heart ached terribly. I didn’t want to argue anymore and just looked at them quietly. “Stop playing these tricks. I could never be with you. But you hurt Ava. This can’t just be forgotten. Besides those things you bought at the agricultural cooperative last time, the day after tomorrow, you need to prepare $500 worth of wedding gifts as compensation. Then we’ll reluctantly forgive you.” Caleb said. After saying that, he picked up Ava and turned to leave, as if I had already agreed. Waylon followed behind, sighed, and said in that self-righteous tone: “Naomi, why did you have to do this? Love can’t be forced.” After saying that, he left too. Looking at the three of them walking away, I just felt it was all meaningless. Even if the three of them had misunderstandings and hatred toward me, it didn’t matter. The West was my true destination. Two days later was their wedding day, and also the day I would leave home for the West. Early in the morning, Colton and Lydia tied everything to the roof of the car. Then I sat in the back seat, Lydia sat in the front seat, and our family of three headed to the train station. Music could be faintly heard along the way, but what did that matter? The train whistle sounded ahead, and my West was waiting for me.
