Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Even saying this makes me feel a bit cheeky, but I'm far from being a blushing bride anymore.

However, seeing Claude with that sour face as if he'd bitten into a lemon, oh, it was a moment of pure bliss for me.

"Today, Kate told me you snapped her necklace. This is a new one. Give it to her tomorrow as an apology," Claude said, pushing a jewelry box toward me. I didn't immediately take it.

So, he was waiting at the front door in the dead of night just to have me apologize to his sweetheart and sweet-talk her.

"Claude, I don't want to." I turned around and slammed the door shut with a bang. And, just like that, I locked it.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

This time around, I wasn't going to take things lying down.

I quickly peeled off my shirt, swapping it for my pajamas, and started inspecting the shirt to see if there was anything unique about it. But this shirt was unbranded, its origins a mystery.

Only someone of significant stature could afford a stay in the 6088 presidential suite, let alone wear an unbranded, luxurious shirt. Just as I was about to give up, I noticed a golden monogram at the hem - MH.

Could it be the initial letter of the owner's name?

MH...HM? So funny.

I hung the shirt back up, not overly concerned with finding this 'MH.'

I decided to let fate take its course.

But the very next morning, as I prepared to head downstairs, cards loaded with cash in hand, I ran into Kate.

She greeted me warmly, but I could swear I saw a scheming glint in her eyes.

This was it; she was about to push me down the stairs.

And then, as expected, she tumbled down herself, followed by Claude appearing out of nowhere, quick to accuse me of pushing her. Instinctively, I stepped back into a safe area and gripped the railing tightly.

"Claire, you're up? Claude mentioned going golfing today. Interested?" I shook my head, "Not really. I'm not much for sports."

In my past life, I wasn't into sports either. It was Kate who persuaded me to try hiking, an activity I agreed to only because it meant I could visit my parents' graves.

We all know hiking isn't exactly knee-friendly.

"Oh, really? Well, what's your plan for today?" Kate moved to grab my

hand, but I was quick to dodge.neq

waiting for you downstairs

Kate fell for it, turning around just in time for me to dash past her and run downstairs.

I wasn't about to let her trap me.

But as soon as I reached the ground floor, there was Claude, lounging in the living room with some documents.

Hearing me approach, he didn't even look up, "After breakfast, join me for golf."

I forced a smile, "Can I not?"

Last time, going golfing with them.

ended with Kate pretending to sprain her ankle, and Claude

carrying her right in front of me - a heart-wrenching scene I didn't want to relive.

"If you don't come, then stay home and keep Mom company."

Wait, what? Wasn't Gabrielle supposed to arrive tonight, as per my previous life?

It turns out, in my past life, she'd arrived early and had already tampered with the food.

This time, I was determined to be well-prepared.

"Fine, I'll stay home."

I was firm in my response.

Even if Gabrielle had poisoned the food again, I'd make sure Kate was the one to eat it. Let them have their moment.
