Reborn

Tragic Love

Mistress

Homewrecker

Marriage

Regret

To the public, Maggie Sinise and I are a golden married couple who have lived peacefully with each other for over four decades. But when Maggie is on her deathbed, she grips my hand tightly while pleading to me, "Aaron, if there ever is a next life, please… please let me and Scotty be together…" I feel as though I've gotten struck by lightning. The shock lasts for a long time. But since this is Maggie's death wish, I nod in agreement. "Okay." Upon hearing the answer she's been yearning for, Maggie closes her eyes in satisfaction. What I don't expect is that both of us have actually returned to the timeframe that's set 40 years ago. Just as I'm trying to wrap my mind around the question as to why Maggie has gotten reborn as well, I hear her stating firmly, "I will never marry Aaron! In this lifetime, Scotty is the only man I will ever marry!" I'm not mad at all. I'm just curious about one thing, though. How will Maggie ever rebuild Sinise Group and make it great again without my help this time?

Chapter 1
In my previous life, I'd given up everything I had—everything my family had—just so I could marry Maggie Sinise.Together, we took the nearly bankrupt Sinise Group and built it into one of the top listed companies in the country.In everyone's eyes, Maggie and I were the perfect couple. There were never any scandals about us in the news. In fact, we never even argued.We spent our entire lives at each other's side, devoted to each other.On her deathbed, I naively believed that the person she would find hardest to let go of would be me. But as I watched her face briefly regain color in her final moments, I saw her eyes drift into memory. Her frail hand desperately pulled out a photo of Scotty Pipes that had been tucked against her chest.Those clouded eyes softened with unmistakable tenderness as she looked at the young Scotty in the picture.I sat rigidly at the head of the bed."Aaron," she started. "If there's a next life, please allow Scotty the chance to marry me. Let me ha

Chapter 2
After that day, Scotty left our household and went with Maggie.He was the son of our housekeeper and was practically a childhood playmate of mine. After the housekeeper passed away, he would occasionally work for our family.We had never treated him unfairly in the slightest, either.Before he left, out of our friendship, I gave him a case of his favorite liquor.What I never expected was that my goodwill only sparked Maggie's anger. This Maggie no longer had the calm and steady demeanor she had once carried in her previous life.Instead, she had a sharp, reckless arrogance of someone who had returned to her youth and reunited with the one thing she could never let go.She stormed into my office and coldly accused, "Aaron, I know that you're upset that I chose Scotty the other day, but that doesn't give you the right to ruin him!"Given our past relationship, I'll let it go this time. I really hope you won't continue to test me!"Looking at her furious expression, I discreetly

The next day, I spent the entire morning in the office dealing with contracts.Julian brought over the investigation report from the hospital that I had requested the day before. The results showed that Scotty's allergens were completely different from any ingredients found in the liquor. His reaction was clearly caused by accidentally ingesting peanuts.After reading the report, I had my answer.I thought back to Scotty's strange behavior yesterday. I no longer cared whether he had truly eaten peanuts by accident or not.Since the liquor I gave him wasn't the problem, from this point on, the two of them would have nothing to do with me.But just as I was trying my best to cut off all ties with Maggie, it wasn't long before she came looking for me.I knew why she was here. According to the timeline, Sinise Group would be on the verge of bankruptcy at this point. The company was facing cash flow issues, suppliers were pressing for payment, employee salaries needed to be paid, and

Chapter 4
After Maggie left that day, I didn't see her again for quite a while. I only heard that she had been running between banks and loan companies, trying to secure financing.But it didn't seem to be going well. No one was a fool, after all. Sinise Group was now in decline, so very few people dared to take such a big risk by lending them money.After I finished handling some contracts, Julian reminded me about an annual charity gala I was supposed to attend that evening.…When I arrived, the venue was already packed with guests.A familiar figure was busily weaving through the crowd.In my previous life, because Sinise Group had received funding from the Tilman family, Maggie and I hadn't attended this charity gala. Instead, we were busy dealing with company matters.This time, it seemed like she had run out of options and was planning to seek help at this event.I'd just taken my seat when several business partners came over to greet me.Maggie noticed me, too. Her footsteps fal

"What makes you so sure I wouldn't know? You just want to jump on board with the Ramseys. Sorry, but the Tilmans need it too," I stated.Maggie instantly froze. A flicker of panic crossed her eyes, her face went deathly pale, and her voice trembled uncontrollably."You… How did you know? Don't tell me you came back as well, Aaron!"I calmly avoided her question. That was when I realized that Maggie had never suspected that I had been reborn as well.I had accidentally exposed a flaw this time, but I had no intention of admitting anything. A cold smile appeared on my face as I looked at her mockingly."Is it really that hard to find out? The Tilman Group is powerful—it's perfectly normal for us to have access to some insider information. You're not the only one who can find out about these things, Maggie."Although I offered an explanation, suspicion still lingered in her eyes. She knew me well, so she naturally didn't believe my words.After all, I had never known about this mat

Chapter 6
I barely paid any attention to Maggie's dazed mutterings.So what if she knew? As long as I didn't admit anything, she'd never be able to conclude anything from it.…Not long after, I reached out to the Ramseys on behalf of Tilman Group. What I never expected was that the person they sent for the handover would be the Ramseys' eldest daughter, Maryanne Ramsey.In my previous life, she had been something of an idol to me. Not only had she built Ramsey Group into the top company in the country, but she had also dominated international markets.That evening, I received a text from Maryanne. She'd booked a table at a hotel and invited me to dinner.When I arrived, however, I unexpectedly ran into Maggie. She seemed to have found another way out and was hosting a dinner for some partners."What's wrong? Do you see someone you know, Mr. Tilman?" Maryanne asked when she noticed that I was a little distracted. "Why don't you invite them to join us?"Her gentle, warm voice immediately

Even with Maggie stirring things up, it didn't ruin the mood between Maryanne and me during dinner.I didn't spare Maggie a glance the entire time. When we'd finished almost everything on the table, I finally patted my stomach in satisfaction and got up to leave. I turned down Maryanne's offer to drive me home. Instead, I decided to take a stroll back. I'd eaten too much earlier, so the walk would help with my digestion.Unexpectedly, she offered to walk with me.On the way, we passed a street packed with food stalls. My stomach was full, but my eyes—and mouth—weren't. I swallowed unconsciously, and she noticed it.She pulled me over, and at my suggestion, we stopped at a few stalls and bought some food here and there. I tried hard to control myself, but I still ended up buying way too much.In the end, I could only manage a few bites of each item. She didn't mind at all. She even took a bite out of the half-eaten taco.I could feel my face heat up instantly. I stammered, "M-

Chapter 8
After that day, I thought Maggie would have finally given up hope. However, she only started pursuing me relentlessly.She sent me flowers every day, my favorite red and white wines, and even tickets to a philharmonic concert.It was a concert I'd been clamoring to attend in my previous life. But for one reason or another, we never made it.One evening, after work, I found her waiting downstairs. Ever since I had security bar her from entering the premises, she would occasionally wait for me outside the building.The moment she saw me, she rushed over."Aaron, you've wanted to go to this concert for decades. Let's go together now and finally make that wish come true."I'd never felt this disgusted by someone before. She was like a piece of chewed gum, impossible to shake off.Just as I was about to snap at her, a sleek Maybach pulled up in front of us.Maryanne stepped out, smiling, and handed me two concert tickets."Mr. Tilman, I heard this concert is a special one.
