Chapter 8

Author: Somersaulting Minion
At the dinner table, I told Claire about the car accident from five years ago for the first time, and about the mission.

Claire was initially surprised, then her expression turned to one of understanding. "It’s no wonder then. I thought it was so strange that you woke up after being so severely injured. It was practically a miracle..."

Nina's eyes widened like she was listening to a fairy tale.

I pressed my lips together and spoke. "So I have to go back for a bit. Consider it repayment for th

    I stood up with Claire and Nina. "Ms. Ashford, we'll be leaving now. Sorry for the intrusion."Without waiting for her desperate pleas, we left the villa.The system arranged accommodations for us not far from Naomi's villa, so the next day, she showed up again with Peyton."Harry, it's okay if you can't remember. We can start over. We loved each other so much. You'll fall in love with me again..."I pressed my lips together and cut her off without mercy. "Ms. Ashford, I only love my wife, Claire."Yet no matter how many times I rejected them, Naomi and Peyton refused to give up.One day, Claire, Nina, and I were waiting for a car by the side of the road on our way to the amusement park when Naomi appeared again.She looked haggard, her eyes dull and lifeless. "Harry, do you really have to hurt me like this?"I felt exasperated, and my words became blunt. "Ms. Ashford, you chose to betray me. Don't you think it's a little too late to have regrets now?"Hearing this, Naomi sudd

    Naomi took a deep breath and looked at me with pleading eyes. "Can we go inside and talk?"I turned back to look at Claire, silently asking for her permission. Seeing this, the light in Naomi's eyes dimmed.Only after Claire nodded did I follow Naomi inside.Once we were in the house, Naomi poured us water and continued asking, "You said I have the wrong person, but you are Harry Gatlin, right?"I nodded. "Yes. But I really don't remember you. You were probably the mission target the system assigned me. I should have left after completing the mission. There's no way I would have married you and had a child."Hearing my words, Naomi froze in place instantly. "What? A mission?"Though I felt sympathetic, I still explained. "Yes, a mission target. We probably didn't have any real feelings for each other."The next second, Naomi smashed the glass in her hand onto the floor. "No feelings? How is that possible! We were together for nine years! I had Peyton for you. Everything was fine

It was practically a miracle..."Nina's eyes widened like she was listening to a fairy tale.I pressed my lips together and spoke. "So I have to go back for a bit. Consider it repayment for the system's favor."Claire thought for a moment, then hummed in agreement. She grabbed my collar and planted a kiss on my face. "Come back quickly, and don't you dare flirt with any other women!"I laughed. "If you're worried, why don't you come with me?"Claire and Nina's eyes lit up. "Can we?"The answer was yes.What I meant as a joke, the system actually agreed to. They could come along.Our family of three landed in the backyard of a villa. It looked somewhat familiar. It was probably

    Avery's eyes turned bloodshot. "I... You said you didn't love him anymore! Why can't I contact him? Do I have to stay hidden forever?"Naomi's expression went cold. She spat out a single word. "Get out."After Avery left, she held Peyton and said to the driver, "Take us home. Now."It was quite a spectacle, them turning on each other. I was enjoying the show when the system suddenly spoke. "Harry, the return portal is complete. We can depart now."I shrugged. Alright then. The show ended here.Before leaving, I asked, "System, after I go back, can you erase my memories of loving Naomi?"The system was silent for a moment. "As you wish."The very next second, my consciousness plunged into darkness.…When I woke up again, I found myself lying in a hospital bed.My head ached. I tried to recall what happened and remembered I had been in a car accident. On the verge of death, the system had bound itself to me and offered me a mission.If I succeeded, I could return to the real

    After I died, the system still needed some time to process everything, so it did not immediately take me back to the original world.I took this opportunity to go to the press conference.The reporters had not arrived yet. Naomi sat backstage, anxiously calling me over and over, but no matter how many times she tried, the phone was off."Did something happen to Harry?"She stood up to leave, but Avery blocked her at the door."Don't worry. He loves you so much. He'll definitely come to clear things up."Seeing him, Naomi's tense expression relaxed a bit. Peyton, sitting nearby, jumped up with a cheery expression. "Avery!"Avery patted Peyton's head without hesitation, then planted a kiss on Naomi's forehead.His eyes held a trace of hurt. "I haven't seen you in days. Didn't you miss me at all?"Naomi could not help but smile. "I missed you. Peyton and I missed you so much."Hearing this, Avery could no longer hold back. He wrapped his arm around Naomi's waist, leaned down, an

    To avoid suspicion and out of guilt toward me, Naomi stopped working for the past few days and stopped seeing Avery.Unexpectedly, just as I was about to leave, she suddenly transformed back into the sweet, devoted woman she had been when we first got together. Every day she stayed home and made desserts for Peyton and me.Except...I spat out the first bite.Peyton wrinkled her nose. "Mommy, you put in too much sugar!"I watched Naomi's embarrassed smile and set down my spoon indifferently. "It's fine. Thanks for the effort."Her mind was still on Avery, so of course she was distracted while baking.On the third day of the countdown, Naomi asked me to attend Sunday's press conference with her to help clear up her relationship with Avery.I readily agreed.After Avery failed to meet with Naomi several times, he turned his attention to me. So on the second to last day, I received an anonymous email.Inside were intimate photos and videos of Naomi and Avery. I looked through th
