All Chapters of She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

"Young man, I'll be honest with you. When I first realized I'd turned into… that thing, I was actually happy," Cynthia said bitterly. "But everything on TV is a lie! I can't do anything. Forget revenge. I can't even change a single thing in this world."From her words, Dominic finally understood. Becoming a spirit—what people called a ghost—wasn't as mystical as he had imagined. They couldn't float or vanish at will. They still walked on the ground like ordinary people but couldn't affect anything around them.If a leaf lay on the ground, they could touch it, but no matter how much strength they used, it wouldn't move an inch. That was why Cynthia had needed Dominic to open the door earlier—she couldn't open it herself.And yet, while spirits couldn't affect the physical world, the physical world could affect them. A living person could walk through them easily, but they themselves couldn't pass through a person or an object.'What a pitiful kind of ghost,' Dominic thought.Then h

"Why are you bringing this up again? I already told you there's nothing between me and him. If you don't like it, I'll delete him from my contacts. Why can't you just let it go?" Isabella pouted and reached for the groceries in Dominic's hands. "Honey, put those down. Let me see your wounds.""My wounds have nothing to do with you." Dominic stepped aside to avoid her. "Whether you delete him or not, that's your choice. At this point, I don't care anymore."He carried the groceries into the house and told Lilith, "I'll make dinner. You go do your homework.""Okay!" Lilith nodded and ran to her room.Isabella followed him into the kitchen and slipped her arms around his. "Honey, stop clinging to this, will you? I didn't betray you. I admit I was a little careless before, but that was trivial. I can change—doesn't that count for something?"Dominic listened in silence, a bitter smile forming in his mind. 'I literally died once, and that's what you call trivial?'He said evenly, "Lik

"You've got to be kidding me. Are you a pig or something?" Katherine snapped, exasperated. "I honestly don't know what goes on in that head of yours! How could you even agree to something like that? When Dominic finds out, I can't wait to see how you plan to clean up the mess.""He won't find out!"Katherine let out a cold laugh. "Oh really? You won't tell him, but what makes you think your dear Alex won't?"Isabella frowned, hesitating before she said quietly, "Alex…He wouldn't. He's not that kind of person.""Unbelievable! Those eyes of his must've blinded you. You've lost all sense of reason, seeing him through rose-colored glasses and trusting him like a fool."Katherine shook her head. She could already see it coming—if Isabella kept acting this reckless, things would go terribly wrong.Even Murphy's Law said that the more you believed something wouldn't happen, the more likely it would. And Katherine had a bad feeling. Isabella was gambling on luck, and that ticking bomb wo

Dominic nodded and drove toward Clearwater Ville. It took less than an hour to get there from Skyline City. He turned on the music and lit a cigarette.Sitting in the passenger seat, Cynthia watched him with a flicker of envy in her eyes. "Feels good to be alive."Dominic smiled. "Life always comes with birth and death. Some people just leave earlier, some a little later."Cynthia sighed softly. "If I could choose, I'd rather leave later. Ideally, die of old age in peace.""Nice thought. Maybe in your next lifetime."Her eyes brightened. "There's a next lifetime? You think I'll be reborn?"Dominic shook his head. "That's not something I can confirm."She looked disappointed. "I thought since you could see me, you'd know a lot more. By the way, what are you exactly? Why can you see… that kind of thing?"Dominic glanced at her and teased, "If I said I was an exorcist, would you believe it?""Huh?" Cynthia stared at him, then slowly shook her head. "You don't really look like one

"Alright, thanks for your help." Dominic handed the phone back to the driver.The driver rubbed his hands nervously. "Uh, Mr. Dominic, when you meet Miss Garci later, please don't—"Dominic laughed. "You're just following orders. Don't worry about it.""That's good to hear!" The driver finally relaxed. Getting caught while tailing someone counted as failure in his line of work.Dominic watched the SUV drive off, then got into his own car."Did you handle your business?" Cynthia asked."Yeah." Dominic nodded. With Autumn's promise, he no longer felt desperate to take her gold bars. Still, after recalling what he'd found in his research last night, he decided it was necessary."Let's go. Tell me the directions." He started the engine and headed toward Clearwater Ville.Half an hour later, under the curious eyes of the villagers, he stopped in front of an old house.Cynthia's face filled with excitement and nostalgia as she looked at the familiar building. She reached out to touc
