Semua Bab Another Chance at Life: Bab 1 - Bab 7

I never thought I’d see Regina again in this lifetime.At a high-society gala in Rivendell, she stood in the center of the crowd with her arm linked with Tyler’s. Her smile was elegant and refined, nothing like the girl I once knew.The people surrounding them all wore flattering smiles, their voices full of praise.“Ms. Peterson, you’re incredible. Landing a state-level project at such a young age, your future is limitless!”“And this must be your partner, right? What a perfect couple! You two are made for each other.”Tyler glanced at Regina with tenderness in his eyes and said softly, “We’re planning to get married by the end of the year. If you’re free, we’d love for you all to join us at the wedding.”Congratulations echoed all around. Then someone asked curiously, “I heard you’ve been together for ten years. Why wait until now to get married?”That question caught my attention, too.In her last life, Regina loved Tyler so much that she was willing to die for him. After sh

I didn’t love photography because I still had feelings for Regina.The truth was that all my feelings for her had already died when I saw her suicide note in my last life.It was only after I was reborn that I realized all my savings had already been spent on photography equipment. I couldn’t resell it online. So, I picked it up myself.In the end, I fell in love with it.This time around, I wasn’t doing it to please anyone. I was doing it for myself.I gave Regina another polite but distant refusal. “My hobby earns me more than enough. Thanks for your concern.”Her expression tightened, anger flashing in her eyes.“I’m offering you an opportunity. Don’t come crying to me later when you regret it!”I stayed silent. I didn’t bother to tell her that my photos were regularly published in national magazines and even top international journals. The royalties alone weren’t any less than her income.However, if I said that, she’d probably just think I was bragging, especially sin

Those last five words hit Regina like a hammer, leaving her frozen in place. Tears welled in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks.“Daniel, have you really forgotten everything we had? I don’t believe it. We were together for so long. You loved me so much.”Sadie’s displeasure grew more obvious. She let out a cold laugh.“Wasn’t it only a month? Is that longer than the time we’ve been married?”I knew Regina was talking about our past life, the ten years I had stayed by her side. However, Sadie would never believe it, no matter how I explained it to her.I shook my head and cut Regina off.“I haven’t forgotten. I’ve just moved on and don’t care anymore. Since we chose different paths this time, the past doesn’t matter.”I repeated her own words back to her.“Regina, why cling to something that’s over? Between the two of us, it ended a long time ago.”Her eyes turned red instantly. I had no interest in continuing, and just as I was about to walk away, Sadie spoke up in a lazy

After that day, Regina never bothered me again.Sadie, however, asked me about her a few times. She was always a little jealous, so I told her everything that had happened at the park. It still took a lot of coaxing before she finally let it go.Not long after, I heard the news that Regina’s company had gone bankrupt.That’s when I found out Tyler had been hiding his gambling addiction from her.Tyler had always been a lowlife, getting into all sorts of shady things back in the day. Once he got money, it only got worse. Regina spoiled him too much, and at his insistence, she even handed him control over the company’s finances.That was the start of her downfall.Plenty of people were waiting for someone as reckless and brainless as Tyler to screw up, and they set him up perfectly. That day, Regina and Tyler had argued over me, and he stormed off to a casino. Drunk and desperate, he gambled away every cent he had.Afraid Regina would find out, he started dipping into compan
