Reborn Together, Separate Ways
After we were both reborn, my wife and I decided to part ways and live our own lives.
She went to Newport with Klay Bernhard, the son of a wealthy family, while I went to study at a university in the capital.
By leveraging her past life's experience, she helped her new boyfriend avoid investment risks and devise a brilliant business strategy. It didn't take long before she got everything she wanted in the past life.
Meanwhile, I continued to focus on my studies and was content with living a mundane life.
We met again at a class reunion years later.
I saw her arm-in-arm with Klay. She was showing off the enormous diamond ring she wore.
"It's been ten years, haven't you made anything of yourself?"
All I did was smile and remain silent. That was until a wealthy businesswoman showed up late to the scene and threw herself into my arms.
"You promised me we would go get our marriage license when I come back, you can't go back on your word!"
At that moment, my wife from the past life, who was usually prideful, had a look of sheer disbelief in her eyes.
It finally clicked for her that the reason I was willing to separate from her for so many years was not that I was stubborn. It was because we were through.
