Go On, Save Your Love First

"Charlie, get on," Penelope Griffith said to me.When I noticed that I had travelled back in time, the yacht that we were on was already beginning to sink.The lifeboat on the yacht only had two vacant spots. Among the three of us, Penelope was the only one who knew how to operate it, so it went without saying that she would occupy one of the seats.As for the two of us who were left, Penelope ultimately extended her hand toward me after some serious consideration. However, I took a step back, determined to reject Penelope's request."You should save Arthur first, Penelope."I didn't want to shoulder the blame for someone else's death in this life.Penelope seemed to breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing my words, the deep furrow between her brows smoothing out. She swiftly grabbed Arthur Johnson's hand and dragged him onto the lifeboat."I chose to save you first because you're my fiancé, Charlie," she explained. "But since you want to save Arthur first, you'll just have to wai

At that moment, I recalled an incident in my past life.Not long after I married Penelope, she returned home drunk one night. As I supported her back to her room, I had simply advised her to cut back on her drinking, but she became infuriated with me and shoved me to the ground.I lost my balance and fell. The back of my head collided against the floor, fresh blood spurting from the point of impact in an instant. I cried out in pain as I stared at the blood staining my hands.Penelope's glare was glacial. Her voice was icy when she asked, "Does it hurt? I hope it does. Arthur must have experienced pain a thousandfold worse than yours when he died!"He's dead! He'll never return from the depths of the ocean! He never would have drowned if I hadn't chosen to save you that time. Charlie Brant, everything is all your fault!"I stared at her in disbelief as the blood continued to flow from my head. My heart felt like it was slowly turning to ice. I couldn't believe the words that were

When I was younger, I intentionally flunked my exams just to catch a glimpse of my parents. I quarreled with other people since that was the only way I knew how to get them to show up in my life. I craved their love, no matter how insignificant it was.But I stopped harboring any expectations of them as I grew older. I would buy a present for myself on my birthday and celebrate how I was a year older. When it was time for the parent-teacher conferences, I would give my teachers their phone numbers and ask them to contact my parents directly.I grew up in these lonely circumstances until I met Penelope. Since my parents had never appeared on the school's premises, rumors began circulating about how I was a stray child without any parents.One day, when classes were over, a group of daring students blocked my path, demanding I hand over all the money I had. It was then that Penelope appeared. She stopped the punch that had been aimed at the back of my head and put herself between the

I didn't expect Penelope to chase after me. Coincidentally, I also spotted Sophie's car parked by the entrance. I didn't want to speak to Penelope, so I said, "My girlfriend is here to pick me up. I'm leaving now.""Are you sure you want to have a girlfriend like her, Charlie?" Penelope retorted in a mocking tone."Why not? Should I look for someone as indecisive as you? Or should I look for someone who always thinks she's right?"Seeing how I didn't even bother to look at her, Penelope rushed forward and tried to grab my wrist. "Charlie, hear me out—"At that moment, Sophie alighted from her car and pulled me behind her. "Stay away from him!" she exclaimed fiercely.Soon, I got into Sophie's car, gasping in surprise when I spotted a familiar-looking keychain. "I gave this to an online friend of mine in the past.""Did you?" A deep red flush had appeared on Sophie's face, and even her ears had reddened."Yes. Her name was Crystal Snow…"Memories that had been long-buried sudden
