After failing to conquer Quinn Langley 99 times in a row, I finally give up on my quest. When Quinn insists on going on a vacation with the female lead, Melody Frost, during our fifth wedding anniversary, I grant his wish. When he wants to give Melody a proper title, I file for a divorce from him immediately. Even when Quinn wants to give the newborn that I've risked my life delivering to this world to Melody, I just nod and let him take the baby away. Upon noticing the pallor in my cheeks, Quinn goes down on one knee next to me and starts coaxing me softly. "Melody is afflicted with a terminal disease, and she's infertile too. Her biggest wish in this lifetime is to form a family with me. "Don't worry. Once she's passed away, I'll remarry you immediately. This time, we'll spend the rest of our lives as a family." What he doesn't know is that we no longer have a future together. I've already given up on the conquest mission, after all. In three days, I'll get eradicated by the system and leave this world for good.

My 99th Failed Strategy: I'm Done Trying Chapter 11
On the day Melody was taken away, Quinn visited my grave.The photo on the tombstone was one of a 25-year-old me. I was wearing a white dress and beaming at the camera.It was taken the same year we got married. Back then, I was still able to smile.Quinn stood before the grave all night.Nobody else knew what he said.The old man working as the graveyard keeper there later told others that Quinn had just stood there from dusk till dawn, staring at the photo on the tombstone without uttering a single word.The next morning, the old man found him lying against the tombstone as if asleep.There was a piece of paper clutched tightly in his hand with only one line of text on it. "I was wrong, Ariel, so could you… look at me again?"At that moment, I was sitting in the system space, looking through these follow-up events.A system prompt appeared on the screen next to the image of Quinn."Favorability rating of capture target Quinn Langley: 100/100""Status of capture target: Term

Quinn gritted his teeth. "Why did I let her go to her prenatal checkup alone? Why didn't I wait outside the delivery room while she gave birth? Why did I take her daughter away from her? Why did I remain silent while she kneeled and begged me? Why did I do all that for your sake?"Melody's tears streamed down her face. She had never seen this side of Quinn before."I didn't drug you. You did everything willingly," she defended shakily. "You told me yourself that I needed protection while Ariel was resilient. You said she could overcome anything on her own and didn't need you."You said that just seeing her made you feel pressured, and it was only when you were with me that you felt relaxed. You were the one who said you regretted marrying her and lamented that you didn't meet me first. I'm only repeating your own words back to you!"Quinn froze. He let go of Melody's wrist, stood up, and took a step back.He had indeed said all of that.He remembered standing in front of his floo

The hospital room's door was opened, and Melody was brought in by two bodyguards.Her wrists were red from the bodyguards' grip. The moment she passed through the door, she broke away from them and staggered over to Quinn."Quinny… Hear me out. I really didn't mean to refuse to come."She looked up with tears in her eyes. "You know as well as I do about my illness. I've been coughing up blood since I woke up this morning. I kept it from you because I didn't want you to worry. Look, I'm still coughing even now."As she spoke, she took a handkerchief stained with red liquid from her pocket, covered her mouth, and started coughing violently again.Her shoulders shook, and she coughed so hard that it looked like she might collapse at any moment.Quinn gazed at her. He didn't steady her anxiously like he would have before.The look he gave Melody now made her hair stand on end.He used to always look at her with tenderness and heartache. Every time her brows so much as scrunched up,

My records read, "Attempt No. 1. Today, I made him his favorite grilled steak, but he told me to have dinner without him. Melody fell sick, so he needed to take care of her at the hospital. The steak went cold. I reheated it three times but eventually threw it away."Attempt No. 7. He told me he'd bought me a necklace as a gift for our wedding anniversary. I was so happy I wore it for an entire day. Later that night, Melody came over to our house for dinner and said that my necklace looked really nice."After some thought, he took the necklace off my neck. He said that since Melody liked it, he'd give it to her. He explained that I had a lot of accessories anyway, so I didn't need that one."Attempt No. 12. I went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup alone. When the nurse asked me why my husband wasn't with me, I answered that he was busy. In truth, he was helping Melody take care of her dog, who'd just given birth to puppies. The dog was at a vet, and he stayed there the entire a

I watched Quinn, Melody, the children, and the doctor move away. Thinking of the fact that I'd be able to go home in another six hours, I gritted my teeth and offered no resistance.I just hoped that the operation would go smoothly and that the children would be safe. That way, I could go home with

With the system's help, I recovered in a day and returned to my newly rented house. I was prepared to live out the next two days in peace and quiet.I felt much calmer without Quinn and Atlas yelling in my ear.However, a group of black-suited men swarmed into my house two days later. Upon seeing

I couldn't help but laugh.All I had to show for crying and kicking up a fuss was 99 failures. Moreover, Quinn was the one who treated me with indifference first.He gave Melody the precious jewelry he'd spent a fortune to buy for me. All he had to say to me was, "You have a lot of jewelry, so you

Seeing that I wasn't saying a word, Quinn Langley held my hand even more tightly, concern in his eyes. "Why aren't you saying anything, Arie? Are you feeling unwell? Are you blaming me for letting Melody raise our daughter, too?"Don't worry. Our daughter is still young. After Melody passes on, we
