Happily Ever After… With Another Chapter 10
Caleb's loud cries snapped us out of the strange, tense atmosphere. I turned in alarm and saw that he had somehow fallen into the lake, flailing and screaming, "Mom!"Action overtook thought. My heart pounding, I plunged into the water and pulled Caleb to safety, checking him over carefully.Only then did I notice Sam struggling in the lake as well—somehow, in my panic, I hadn't even realized he was calling for me.Jonathan had already rescued him.Caleb clung to my sleeve, fear etched on his face, and whispered an apology, "Mom, I'm sorry." Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Mom, you're so good at swimming."I wiped away his tears gently and smiled. "It's okay. You're my son, and I'm supposed to protect you. Once we get out of here, I'll teach you to swim properly, alright?"Caleb's eyes lit up. He nodded furiously. "Alright!"Sam, standing near his father, trembled, teeth chattering, his small face full of hurt."Mom… why didn't you save me?" he hiccupped through h

"Natalie, I'm allergic to alcohol. Back then, that deal was too important. You said you'd help me and drank your way through the entire banquet by yourself, knocking down seven or eight CEOs on the other side. "I dragged you home and only then realized your whole body was swollen and flushed. You had a fever, you were throwing up, completely drunk, yet you kept insisting you could still drink. That was when I learned you also had a mild allergy."You loved me so much back then…"As he spoke, he looked at me with expectation, as if punishing himself like this might somehow force my memories to return.He was bound to be disappointed. The system's cleansing had been thorough. I remembered nothing—and I had no desire to."You said it yourself. That was in the past. I definitely don't love you now. I don't even remember you."At my words, his tears slid down, more and more of them, mixed into bottle after bottle of alcohol that he swallowed.I watched coldly as he drank more and mo

As if provoked by my words, he became visibly agitated. Shaking his head, he grabbed my shoulders, biting down so hard on his lip that fear drew blood."Do you really not remember me at all? You said I was the devoted second male lead in a novel. You were supposed to conquer me, but you fell in love with me instead, so you begged the system to let you stay and be with me."We got married. I gave up inheriting the family conglomerate for you. You negotiated with my rivals for my career, drinking yourself senseless until your whole body was swollen and flushed. You even endured the hardship of giving birth to Sam for me. You said we would grow old together, and I planted a garden full of roses just for you."We loved each other so deeply. I replay these memories day and night. You loved me so much—so you must be lying to me now, right?"His face was deathly pale as he kept talking, trying desperately to use words to awaken my memories. Every sentence was drenched in obsessive love. Y
Happily Ever After… With Another Chapter 7
The boy rushed toward me, only to be blocked completely by Caleb.Caleb glared at him and demanded, "This is my mom. What do you think you're doing?"Ignoring Caleb's question, the boy bounced and jumped behind him, waving at me and shouting loudly, "Mom! I knew you weren't dead! You must have come back because you couldn't bear to leave me!"Caleb kept standing in his way, refusing to let him come closer. His face flushed red with anger as he lost his temper and shoved Caleb hard."Who are you? Why are you stopping me from hugging my mom!"Caleb stumbled from the push. I hurried to steady him and pulled him behind me. Seeing this, the boy on the other side welled up with tears and demanded through sobs, "Mom, how can you protect him? I'm your son!"I frowned. What a strange child—calling me Mom the moment he opened his mouth, when I didn't even know him."Little one," I said gently, "if your mother knew you were calling someone else 'Mom,' she'd be very sad. I'm not your mother
Happily Ever After… With Another Chapter 6
After I died, the system didn't take me home right away. Instead, it left me floating in midair to watch the show unfold.Not long after my death, Heidi called Jonathan and Sam over.Jonathan was still dressed in his elegant tailcoat, yet he no longer cared about appearances. He dropped to his knees in front of me, trembling as he reached out to check my breath. Then he pulled my body into his arms and burst into loud, broken sobs."Honey! How could you just die like this… You weren't lying to me after all…"Sam was terrified into tears as well. He knelt beside me, shaking my body and crying at the top of his lungs."Mom, Heidi said you're dead. I don't believe it! Wake up! I'm so scared!"The cries overlapped, noisy and chaotic. My consciousness drifted farther and farther away with what little memory I had left, until everything dissolved into blankness.When I opened my eyes again, all I saw were the stark white walls of a hospital—and a small boy carefully leaning against my

Jonathan walked up to me, looking down from above. His voice was cold."They're just some roses. If they're gone, we can plant more. Is this really worth making such a fuss over?"My heart trembled. After a long moment, I forced my pain-wracked body to hold on and spoke in a hoarse voice."These roses were specially shipped back from overseas by you. You planted each one with your own hands. Even when your hands—your most precious asset as a pianist—were pricked until they bled, you just smiled and said it didn't matter, that this was the only way to show your love for me."The Jonathan from before would never have treated them as something insignificant. He would never have said, 'We can plant more.'"My words seemed to strike something in him. His face turned pale in an instant, and he avoided my gaze."But the flowers are already burned," he said. "Are you really going to make your sister-in-law kneel and atone over a few roses?"He reached out to grab my hand. "We can plant
