received my graduation certificate.
There were also quite a few updates on the resumes that were sent out.
The most satisfying offer was from a big company in the neighboring city.
1 quickly arranged a time for the interview.
Having a job was the most anticipated thing in my previous life.
I was extremely anxious, but fortunately, before getting on the train, I received a call from the
company.
passed.
I sat on the train, eagerly searching for a suitable house.
I was extremely excited about the fact that I was about to leave Evan.
Just got off the train.
But I received a call from Evan.
Just as the call connected, his voice rang out without any politeness.
“Carla, where were you?”
The good mood was instantly extinguished as if a bucket of cold water was poured on it.
“What happened?”
Evan’s voice grew colder, “My parents came back and asked you to come back for dinner.”
Returning to the Norton villa was already evening.
There were four people sitting at the dining table.
Mr. and Mrs. Norton, Evan, and Marlee, each had a not–so–great expression on their faces.
I wonder what happened when I was not there.
I walked in without changing my expression.
Evan glanced at my face and, somehow, dropped his fork and went upstairs.
“I didn’t eat it, I got tired of it.”
Marlee chased after him upstairs.
I sat by Mr. and Mrs. Norton, lost in my own thoughts.

The two of them awkwardly made excuses for Evan.
Hooked earnestly at the two elders in front of me, who resembled my own parents.
In the previous life, they found out that I was imprisoned by Evan and attempted to rescue me.
The Norton family had already taken control, with Evan at the helm.
They couldn’t help much either.
I don’t blame them. I only blame myself for being foolish.
I spoke softly.
“Mr. and Mrs. Norton, I have been thinking about this for a while.”
“Evan and I were not compatible, he didn’t like me and I didn’t like him either.”
“Rather than becoming resentful partners, it is better to give each other freedom.”
“The engagement is hereby nullified.”
Aunt Fang’s face froze completely, with tears shimmering.
“Did it really have to come to this?”
I nodded firmly.
Solve the most concerning matter in my heart since rebirth.
I felt relaxed all over my body.
Before leaving.
I went back to the room, wanting to take the things I had missed last time.
Marlee blocked my way.
“Carla, can you give Evan back to me?”
“I had his child, and a child cannot be without a father.”
She had a pair of red eyes, looking pitiful.
I frowned and instinctively took a step back.
Marlee gave a strange smile and then grabbed my hand, pushing me down forcefully.
*Carla, don’t push me!
“Child! My child!”

“Ouch, it hurts!”
Marlee fumbled down the stairs, blood flowing from between her legs.
Evan ran out of the study and saw this scene with his eyes wide open.
He raised his hand and slapped me.
“Carla, you were so malicious!”
“They used to say that you loved to bully people, and I thought it was an exaggeration, but now I have seen it with my own eyes, what do you have to say for yourself!”
“If it weren’t for you, Marlee and I wouldn’t have separated. Why do you always interfere with us?”
Mr. and Mrs. Norton came out of the room.
Marlee saw the situation and cried out louder, clutching her stomach.
Evan angrily questioned, “Mom and Dad, look at this, this is the wife you chose for me!”
After the intense pain, I felt dizzy and had ringing in my ears.
Evan looked devastated, as if he had been betrayed by the whole world.
Without thinking, I gave him two slaps.
“Don’t worry, it was no longer the case from today.”
