The System's Return Chapter 7
After Elodie returned to the real world, it took a while for her to accept that she'd returned to reality.The events with John felt like a dream, yet no matter what, she could not forget them."Host, your mission reward has been deposited in your account, so you can live the rest of your life without any problems. Go and live your life the way you want."The system's voice appeared out of nowhere, and Elodie nodded."Also, there's someone who wants to see you, so I've arranged for you to meet."Elodie didn't understand. How could anyone want to see her?Then, in a daze, she saw John wearing his school uniform.It was eighteen-year-old John.He looked at Elodie with gentle eyes, so much so that she was momentarily thrown off, having not felt such a focused and kind stare in what felt like an eternity.In any case, she didn't know what to say, so she just pursed her lips and waited for him to speak instead."You've become so thin, and you're not as happy as you were in the pas
The System's Return Chapter 6
John thought it was a scam, but the other party spoke as if they knew everything, and he truly and desperately wanted to see Elodie.After the call connected, a voice he was more familiar with than anything else sounded in his ear."Hello, twenty-eight-year-old me. I'm eighteen-year-old John. Did you marry Elodie? Have you made good on your promises? Is she happy now? Are you taking good care of her?"Do we have children now? Are you two going steady?"John just listened silently, not knowing how to answer himself.On the other end, the younger John went quiet too, sensing something was wrong. Carefully, he asked, "What's wrong? Did Elodie fall out of love with you? Is she angry at you?""She's probably angry at me…"On the other end, John breathed a sigh of relief before replying, his voice tinged with a smile, "Elodie's easy to make happy! You just need to hug her and say nice things to her. "Oh, but you need to do more than just talk, you know? You've got to buy her fights,
The System's Return Chapter 5
After John witnessed Elodie take her own life right in front of him, he never once went to see Ivy again.All he wanted to do was to make Elodie regret, not to force her to end her own life. Not once had he thought that things would end up this way.Several times, Ivy had asked to meet him, but he rejected her each time.In truth, he did not love Ivy. He'd gotten close to her in the first place because she resembled Elodie the way she was in the past, full of vitality, young, and spirited.After Elodie married him, she seemed to grow quieter. He could feel her dependence on him. He liked that, yet at the same time, he felt that life lacked excitement.It was too bland.Not only in their relationship, but in every aspect of life, nothing felt as smooth or exhilarating as when they were still in love. Elodie was like a plain, emotionless machine.She loved him, but she could no longer bring him stimulation.Before he had fully taken over the family business, he had genuinely love
The System's Return Chapter 4
After John hung up the phone, I remained frozen for a long time, unable to recover.His words were like a sharp dagger, stabbing deep into my heart without any trace of affection, only humiliation.I couldn't understand why the person who once cherished me above all else now spoke to me with such malice.That unbearable pain crashed over me like massive waves, tearing me apart again and again.From the system, I found out that Ivy and John got into danger when they went out together. Ivy was hit by a drunk driver, who didn't know heads or tails of what happened.Ivy insisted that I had bribed the driver, that I had intended to harm her and the child she was carrying.This accident enraged John completely. Blinded by fury, he hadn't stopped to think before calling to demand answers from me.The blow was so heavy that my mind reeled. I had long been unwilling to admit that whatever feelings John once had for me had already been worn away completely by his repeated lies. I chose to
The System's Return Chapter 3
After realizing that I would be leaving this world very soon, I stopped caring about how John treated me. Whether he loved me or not was the least of my concerns. The answer to that question was not important to me anymore.He and Ivy were probably together. He'd already been away from home for four days, and it would be three days until our fifth wedding anniversary, and also the day I would leave this world.I didn't have many belongings, and I couldn't take them with me anyway. As for what John had asked of me, I still hadn't said a word, leaving it for the system to handle.When he left, John took away the first necklace he had given me. It was something I treasured deeply. It was a gift from when he confessed to me at an amusement park, taking out the necklace as fireworks filled the sky."Elodie, I haven't officially taken over my family's business yet. I could only use my allowance to buy you something affordable. But in the future, I'll replace it with something better, s
The System's Return Chapter 2
I sat there on the ground, numbly picking up the trash haphazardly strewn around me, not even stopping when shards of glass drew blood from my fingers.When I first started dating John, everyone around us told us what a good match we were, and we were admired by everyone around us.His family background was unimaginably elite, to a point where I couldn't even reach it even if I had a ladder that stretched up towards the heavens.I could have never imagined that someone that shone as brightly as him would fall for a girl from a regular background like me. That being said, his appearance in my life truly did save me, back then.When someone as prideful as him was willing to do anything for me, it spoke to me more than any love letters ever could.When I first arrived in this world, I didn't want to pursue him. I didn't want our relationship to start with lies and calculation, my life being filled with deceit as-was, ever since I was a mere child.I hated that world, yet had no choi
