Winning Back the Husband

System

Natalie Brooke asked me to cook dumplings for her stepfather, Michael Sawyer. When the dumplings were knocked over and burned Michael's hand, she assumed that I was being disrespectful to an elder. So, she ordered the bodyguards to put me into a large pot, saying she would boil me until I was cooked as punishment. "Since you burned Michael, I will make you pay the price!" The water in the pot grew hotter, causing my whole body to be scalded red. All I could breathe was the scorching steam. I desperately pounded on the lid, but it had long been locked. I screamed in despair as I clawed the edges with all my strength. Blood overflowed from the pot and dripped onto the ground, but no one cared. Just before I succumbed to death, I summoned the system and yelled, "I want to go back! I refuse to save Natalie. I don't care if she becomes a vegetable!"

Chapter 1 My Death Penalty
Natalie held Michael's hand and carefully applied ointment with a devout expression on her face."Michael, your hand is finally getting better," she murmured.He smiled and ruffled her head. "Did you forget my identity? If we're going by age, I'm your father."Natalie's eyes darkened when she heard his words. So, she changed the subject by saying, "I will have Felix apologize to you. I already told him that your skin is delicate and scars easily. Yet, that clumsy fool still burned you. Damn it! "He needs to be taught a lesson so he'll know who the real man of this house is!" Then, she turned to the butler and asked sharply, "How is Felix? Has he learned his lesson?"The butler lowered his head, and cold sweat covered his forehead. "Ms. Brooke, he hasn't been released yet. Also, there's no movement coming from the pot anymore…"Natalie froze upon hearing the butler's reply. However, her expression quickly returned to indifference.He hesitated several times before finally closin

Chapter 2 The Person I Loved Was Gone
My body had already been stewed until it was completely tender, my flesh separating from bone.Even though I was no longer in pain, that agony seemed carved into my soul. I knew right then that I would never be able to forget it, even for a second.I called out the system. "When can I return to my original world? I can't bear to stay here even for a moment longer!"…Natalie treated Michael attentively, remembering every tiniest detail about him with utter devotion.Michael had also grown accustomed to accepting her care.I impatiently asked the system, "How long do I still have to stay in this world? I've had enough of watching their lovey-dovey act!"The system patiently comforted me and replied, "Host, the main system is currently undergoing updates and maintenance. You will only be able to return to your original world in a month."I was not from this world, and neither was Natalie.The technological advancement of our original world was far beyond this one.In our origin

Chapter 3 Natalie Didn't Believe I Was Dead
I disregarded the risk of my soul possibly dissipating just to traverse across multiple worlds in order to save her, who was on the verge of death.In my original world, the people from the tech company tried their best to persuade me not to throw myself headfirst into this treatment."This project is still in its experimental stages. We can't guarantee that traveling across worlds won't cause damage to your mind. Due to the nature of this treatment, Ms. Brooke will assume that she's a native in those worlds."Can you guarantee that she will remain the same as before after you save her? What if she falls in love with someone else? What will you do then?"I answered firmly, "Natalie wouldn't fall in love with anyone else. I doubt she'd fail to notice how much I've sacrificed just to save her, weak consciousness or not. In this world, no one loves her more than I do!"As I recalled what I said back then, I could barely resist the urge to slam my head against the wall. Reality sure

Chapter 4 Late Realization
Natalie suddenly stepped back, her voice choked. "How dare you have the audacity to use a taxidermy specimen and scare me! Well done, Felix. Do you think I'd fall for this so easily? Do you really take me for a fool?"Honestly, I was torn between scoffing in amusement or straight up becoming straight up furious when I saw how wild Natalie's imagination could be.For starters, taxidermy specimens had their organs removed, but my internal organs had been burst apart in the pot. So, how could my corpse possibly be a specimen?The butler glanced at it curiously before turning away and retching once more.Clearly, he had also noticed the organs in the pot. "Ms. Brooke, there seem to be internal organs in there. It doesn't look like a specimen."When she heard him, she looked at him as if he were an idiot and asked, "How are you so stupid when you've been working for me for so many years? Felix must have put animal organs in there to confuse us. Can't you tell? This is just ridiculous!"

Chapter 5 The Promise
Michael wore a high-end luxury suit, his eyes filled with emotion."My god, Natalie, how did you think of this?"Natalie, who was dressed in a wedding gown, had gotten on one knee and said, "Michael, I told you, didn't I? You're my everything. I don't care about the past, only about the future. I want to be with you forever!"He was on the verge of tears upon hearing her words. "Natalie, I understand your feelings, but you're already married. I can't destroy your marriage."When I heard Michael say that, I was astonished by how shameless he was.I remember what happened the day Natalie and I got married. Her mother brought Michael back to the country to attend the wedding. When I went to the restroom, Michael followed me in and needled me. "Do you really think that Natalie likes you? Let's bet on it. I bet she'll come crawling to me once I pay the slightest bit of attention to her."I thought he was drunk at the time, so I brushed it off as drunken nonsense. Now that I think ab

Chapter 6 Natalie's True Colors
After Michael said those words to me, I arranged for informants abroad to keep an eye on him.I didn't want any variables to appear in Natalie's life since her attachment to this world would make it impossible for her to awaken in the original world fully.According to the reports from my informants, most of Natalie's mother's inheritance was left to her. As a remarried spouse, Michael only received a very small portion of money upon her death. Due to his extravagant spending, it was no surprise that his gas soon ran empty.Now that he was penniless, he naturally had no choice but to return to the country in disgrace.However, he had set his sights on Natalie.He hadn't forgotten the way she used to look at him, with her eyes full of admiration and longing.Natalie suddenly remembered me as she apologized, "I'm sorry, Michael. It was Felix who kept clinging to me. I knew there was no possibility between us, so I agreed to marry him. I have never loved him, not even a little.

Chapter 7 Natalie Finally Believed It
A photo slipped out from between the pages and drifted to the floor when Natalie was flipping through her documents in the study.Initially, she paid it no mind. However, her face changed after she saw the contents of the photo.It was a photo of us when we were children. It was the very scene I had asked the system to record for me back when she promised to give me a castle.The photo was of a little girl building a castle out of sand and smiling foolishly at the little boy.Natalie recognized it too. She picked up the photo with trembling fingers.My handwriting was on the back of the photo, which she was not unfamiliar with. There were only two words, "My love."At that moment, she froze for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.She carefully traced my childish face in the photo and compared it with my adult self, finding some similarities in our features."That's just impossible. How could it be you? It absolutely can't be! What kind of joke is this?"However, her s

Chapter 8 Back to My Own World
Natalie froze when she looked at the pictures. She shakily pulled out the photo of me from when I was eight, her face draining of all color. "Are you saying that this is Felix when he was little?"Although the photo the system took of me only showed my side profile, it was enough for Natalie to realize that it was the same person as the photo provided by the police.She made a mad dash to the study and turned on the computer, behaving not unlike a lunatic.Sure enough, she'd gotten an e-mail containing many photos of me as a child.Natalie compared them one by one. The more she looked, the more it shattered her. Eventually, she began sobbing uncontrollably.Her lawyer managed to bail Natalie out after she was taken away by the police as a suspect. No one knew what they did, but the butler became the scapegoat."I have always been dissatisfied with him, so I killed him. Ms. Brooke knew nothing about it. She has always been searching for him."Michael was waiting for her at the do
