One More Day to Love Myself Chapter 7
I had dinner at the hotel. Jaxson forced himself to sit through the meal, his lips pale, eyes cast down. He unconsciously crushed a wine cup in his hand, his palm covered in blood.Julian was terrified out of her wits. The banquet descended into complete chaos. As night fell, Adrian, who had been sent away for the entire day, came to pick me up in person.His expression grim and he didn't even spare a glance for Jaxson. His strong hand gently supported me, "I'm here to take you home."I got into the car and lazily leaned against his shoulder. He was also anxious at heart and remained silent for a long time, simply taking off his cloak and draping it over me. As he lowered his head to fasten the ties for me, the rims of his eyes suddenly turned red."Do you still want me?""Why not?" I snuggled into his arms, finding it a bit amusing, "How can he possibly compare to even a single strand of your hair?"Adrian let out a relieved, "Mm.""You know, my baby can't be without his father."He o

It wasn't until sunset that Adrian finally returned. He had barely slept all night and was utterly exhausted. After securing the doors and windows, he rested his head on my lap and closed his eyes. I was in turmoil and asked softly, "Did Jaxson make things difficult for you?""No." He gently rubbed his cheek against my palm. His words were slightly slurred with drowsiness, "He was drunk out of his mind, threw a tantrum, and spouted some nonsense."I gave a low, soft response, "Mm, I've heard about it too.""No." Adrian opened his eyes, caught my hand, and interlaced his fingers tightly with mine. "I didn't mean that. It hasn't been leaked to the public."There was no discernible emotion in his voice, "He said that you were once his wife."Jaxson had regained his memories of the past life as well after falling into the water.My breath hitched slightly, and my chest felt tight and heavy, "He must have gone mad."Adrian let out a low, soft chuckle. He collapsed onto the couch and slept

I lived very well in Carmine Port. My mother was in good spirits and got better, as we could now afford the best medical treatment. However, it was at this time that the unexpected happened. I received a letter from New Valetta, written by Carmela. Jaxson had finally grown suspicious. He had invited Elena to admire lotus. By the pool, Jaxson was suddenly summoned away by his mother, leaving Elena alone with Jaxson’s younger brother, Mike.He was a mischievous child. While chasing a dragonfly, he fell into the pool, struggling and crying for help. Elena was at a complete loss. Covered in cold sweat, she stood frozen for a long while before finally hiking up her skirts to call for help.By the time helpers who could swim arrived, Mike had stopped struggling. He climbed out of the water with ease, looking perfectly composed. Elena understood Jaxson had been testing her.Elena tried to shirk responsibility, "I didn’t mean to. It is just that in the past two years, I had grown weaker. The

Three days before the wedding, I received an invitation for a small gathering. I had made a few close friends in New Valetta. Since we would be apart for many years, I couldn't help accepting the invitation.We were boating on the lake, drinking tea and chatting about everything. Just as the boat was approaching the shore, my friend looked up and stared into the distance in surprise. I noticed someone on the tower by the shore, looking down at us. A young man standing next to Jaxson nudged Adrian.Jaxson sounded listless, "Adrian, isn't that your fiancée?""She was kept hidden so well. How come you all seem to know her?"Adrian chuckled softly and reached out to close the window, "It is her. Let's not disturb her."The young man spoke up, "Paul Koval didn't hide her, really. She's the eldest daughter, and only came to New Valetta two years ago. You must be too busy with affairs to know. But we've all met her. She does look quite a bit like her younger sister. Back then, someone though

When I returned to the mansion, the sky was already dim. Carmela asked me about the date with Adrian. Her gaze fell on my face, a hint of warmth softening her stern expression, "You look so much like my daughter. I don't wish to see you suffer. But, the best marriage must go to her.” I nodded in silence. Carmela continued, "Adrian Volkov is a nice choice for you. You should be grateful. I lowered my head and answered softly, "Mm.""Adrian is a good man. Thank you." Carmela felt relaxed, "Just go back and have a rest."To reach my courtyard, I had to walk through a long corridor and pass the reception hall. I had only taken a few steps when I was abruptly interrupted by Carmela."Hold on." She pointed to another path. "Elena is meeting with Jaxson. Take a detour." To those seeing us for the first time, it was hard to tell the difference between Elena and me. But in reality, we were distinguishable.Over the past two years, I had lived a life of luxury and gained some weight. Elena

Carmela and Elena handed me several dossiers. The profiles showed that they were all talented, handsome, and held official titles, though none were from New Valetta, or were about to leave for their businesses elsewhere.She truly wanted to find a “good” husband for me because I read her mind and Elena still needed a final favor from me."What exactly did you do with him back then?" Elena looked pale, with a faint scent of medicine clinging to her. Yet, the moment Jaxson was mentioned, a light returned to her eyes.I tried my best to recall the details, "My mother was critically ill, and I was desperate for money.”She carefully wrote down every word, "Oh, I got it. I'll say the nanny embezzled my allowance and made my life difficult.” Elena meticulously fabricated the story, inventing plausible reasons for every detail. Even though she pieced up a perfect story, it was full of flaws. I couldn't be bothered to deal with her. In my previous life, Elena had successfully fooled Jaxson wi
