00:00you're the one i should have married you're the one i should have cherished he raised his head
00:03his eyes bloodshot his voice breaking with sobs can you give me another chance let's start over
00:09okay i looked at his disheveled pathetic state and felt neither hatred nor pain only complete calm
00:14it was like looking at a complete stranger sebastian do you know why i wrote vivian's name
00:19on the marriage application back then he froze it wasn't because i wanted to help you two be
00:24together it was because i didn't want to have anything to do with you ever again after being
00:29reborn i decided to write my sister's name on the marriage application this time i would help
00:34sebastian holt achieve his wishes i personally helped my sister vivian try on the wedding dress
00:39adjusting the veil with a soft smile vivian you look beautiful sebastian will be stunned when he
00:47sees you i let her wear the wedding dress first and slipped the engagement ring onto her finger myself
00:52vivian looked at me with surprised eyes rachel how can i possibly accept this this is your wedding
01:00you and sebastian i smiled softly of course you can you two are the ones who are truly meant to
01:07be
01:07together i personally orchestrated every encounter between sebastian and my sister when he took her to
01:13the capital city i stood at the door and said calmly go ahead seb take vivian with you she's never
01:20been to
01:21the capital before i'll be fine when he took her to the capital city i headed to southport university
01:27without a second thought in my previous life even when i was over 50 years old he and our son
01:33still
01:33knelt before me sebastian's voice was hoarse as he begged rachel please sign your divorce
01:39our son albert lowered his head mom you're inferior to aunt vivian in every way just let dad go
01:52this time i would fulfill his long cherished wish and give him the romance he truly desired
01:58just fill in your name and give it to me sebastian holt impatiently tapped the table i stared at the
02:05marriage application my fingertips gently rubbing the rough edges of the paper as my thoughts drifted
02:11in my previous life i solemnly filled in my own name as if i were handling a sacred decree
02:17then excitedly dragged sebastian to buy our wedding things all i ended up getting was a harsh scolding
02:23from him because he was rushing back to take care of vivian hayes during her period now i just responded
02:28dismissively i got it i glanced up at his anxious expression and that hand that kept checking his
02:34watch he was wearing a white shirt today with sleeves rolled up to his elbows revealing his well
02:39defined forearms i remembered that vivian loved this look on him most she said it made him look clean
02:45and refreshed i said suppressing the bitterness rising in my heart while feigning nonchalance
02:51if you use imbergent to minterally go ahead i'll family back tinger to deceasers
02:56don't worry since we're getting married i'll take responsibility for you but stop being jealous of vivian
03:02from now on if others find out it'll damage her reputation he said nothing more and hurriedly turned
03:08to leave i took a deep breath trying to calm my erratic heartbeat but my mind could not stop replaying
03:14scenes from my previous life on our wedding night he used the excuse of caring for my sick sister
03:20and never came home later when his military posting required relocation he only took vivian along
03:27saying she had never been to the capital before even on the day our son was born sebastian was not
03:33available as he was busy comforting vivian through her divorce right up to my deathbed our son albert holt
03:39still earnestly pleaded mom just divorce dad you're inferior to aunt vivian in every way
03:45dad has suffered by being with you all these years so let him go i lay weekly in the hospital
03:50bed
03:50my body frail and trembling turning my head with great effort i looked at my indifferent husband sitting
03:56beside me my voice was hoarse and barely above a whisper sebastian do you also think this way
04:04do you also believe i've made you suffer all these years sebastian remained silent he didn't look at me
04:11his eyes stayed fixed on the floor his face expressionless the long deathly silence was his
04:17only answer tears slipped from the corners of my eyes with the last bit of strength i had
04:23i said softly i understand i bit down hard on my lower lip until i tasted blood then slowly released
04:30it
04:31no i would not repeat the same mistakes in this lifetime i picked up the pen and slowly wrote two
04:37words in the applicant column vivian hayes since sebastian loved vivian so much he should have it his
04:43way i handed the completed application to the clerk took the marriage certificate and left the city
04:49clerk's office i felt no sadness instead there was an indescribable sense of liberation in my previous
04:56life vivian and i were adopted by the holt family after our parents died in the line of duty
05:01vivian had a silver tongue and knew exactly how to charm people winning over sebastian's parents so
05:07completely that they treated her better than their own daughter mom you treat me even better than my
05:14own mother did when she was alive i'm really so lucky to be your daughter in this lifetime bad i
05:21heard
05:22you haven't been feeling well lately this is especially for you the soup you have to drink a few more
05:26bowls okay i hope you stay healthy and strong
05:29sebastian's mother penelope kane even harbored early hopes of having vivian marry sebastian however with just one simple statement from
05:38vivian
05:39sister is my only family i don't want to compete with her she managed to make sebastian willingly choose me
05:47instead in reality
05:49vivian was just stringing sebastian along after all sebastian was merely a captain at the time she wanted to wait
05:55for someone better
06:03seb you actually didn't stay with my sister and came back specially to accompany me
06:08will she get angry sebastian naturally wrapped his arm around her waist his palm slowly sliding down the side of
06:15her waist
06:16his tone low and intimate is her anger important every time you get your period your face turns pale from
06:23the pain
06:24how could i possibly leave you alone at home his fingertips traced lazy circles around her waist dimple
06:30vivian's body trembled slightly but she didn't pull away instead she leaned even closer into his embrace
06:36a hint of triumph flashing in her eyes then sab after you marry my sister will you still treat me
06:44this well
06:46will you stop wanting me sebastian lowered his head to look at her his hand slowly traveled upward from
06:52her waist tracing inch by inch along her spine finally stopping at the back of her neck where he gently
06:58pinched it silly girl who else would i treat well if not you if your sister dares to bully you
07:04i'll divorce
07:05her do you believe me vivian's cheeks flushed red she glared at him coquettishly and reached out as if to
07:12push him away her palm pressing lightly against his chest but without any real strength hateful what are
07:19you saying who wants you to get a divorce i took a deep breath composed myself and walked into the
07:26house as if nothing had happened sebastian and vivian both froze on the spot they stared at me with
07:32faces full of shock and disbelief you why are you here i i'm just checking on viv because she wasn't
07:41feeling well i hummed indifferently and turned to head to my room in my previous life i fought with
07:46him countless times over their inappropriate intimacy in this lifetime i refuse to waste my time
07:51and energy he called out to me from behind seeing my calm and indifferent reaction his face instantly
07:58darkened unable to maintain his composure he spoke with a mix of shame and anger you don't need to
08:04be jealous of your sister if i really wanted to marry her i would have done it long ago you
08:11wouldn't
08:11even be in the picture i stopped in my tracks turned around and looked at him my expression remained
08:18completely calm without the slightest ripple hmm you're right so you don't need to explain anything
08:24to me either rachel how about we buy some wedding favors to distribute to the other military wives in the
08:33housing
08:33complex i looked at him with surprise then realized this was probably his way of compensating for my
08:39unusual silence no need there's no point in such formalities he was stunned probably finding it hard to
08:46imagine i would refuse such a proposal are you angry because seb took care of you rash vivian emerged from
08:52her room with a face full of grievance and innocence she was wearing the dress i had bought explicitly
08:57for our wedding photos something i saved up half a year for in my previous life but never dared to
09:03wear
09:03even once seeing my gaze vivian frantically explained i saw this beautiful outfit by your bedside today and
09:09wanted to try it on i forgot to change out of it she lowered her head wringing her fingers like
09:16a
09:16child who had done something wrong sebastian instinctively began rachel don't i interrupted
09:22him calmly it looks good on you keep it i've never worn it anyway i still remembered the faint smell
09:30of
09:30blood and sweat on that dress and how i ran home crying in the middle of the night the memory
09:35disgusted me
09:36now under their astonished gazes i returned to my room and locked the door
09:43i pulled out the folder containing my acceptance letter from southport university in my previous
09:48life i wanted to live in southport especially southport university offered my dream major in
09:54finance and economics in my past life i gave up my education to support sebastian and willingly stayed
10:00home to care for his parents this time i still had a chance so i wanted to live only for
10:05myself
10:06i flipped through the calendar looking at the marked date i whispered softly to myself
10:12only 10 more days just 10 days and i can finally leave this place a sudden knock interrupted my
10:19thoughts and i opened the door impatiently sebastian stood there holding a bowl of noodles
10:24his tone gentle as he said you must be hungry i made you some instant noodles i was dazed for
10:31a moment
10:31in my previous life he was either cold as ice toward me or only spoke harshly i had not seen
10:37sebastian
10:37acting this tender and affectionate in a long time no need i already ate outside how is that possible
10:46aren't you always reluctant to spend money his words stung i used to be reluctant to spend money
10:53living frugally and spending most of my part-time earnings to buy him things now that i was going to
10:59university there would be plenty of expenses so every penny needed careful planning i looked up at
11:05him my tone calm as i said i remember a few days ago i gave you the money to buy
11:10wedding supplies
11:11you didn't seem to buy anything give me the money back he froze then awkwardly explained
11:19that money well i already bought leah those for vividly i could not help but curl my lip how predictable
11:25it was the same old story well if there's nothing else i'm closing the door i want to sleep i'll
11:31give
11:32you the money tomorrow his tone carried some irritation we're husband and wife do you really
11:39need to be so petty i could not help but snort coldly so after you use my hard-earned savings
11:44to buy
11:45things for someone else i'm not even allowed to be annoyed knowing he was in the wrong he still
11:50muttered stubbornly you're so unreasonable i could not be bothered to argue further and slammed the
11:56door shut over the next few days i sold off some worthless possessions mementos from my previous
12:02life that once held meaning now they seemed like nothing but cheap junk i packed them all up and sold
12:08them to a scrap dealer for a pittance that afternoon while continuing to pack sebastian appeared before me
12:14holding some money he stiffly said here's your money i took the money and nodded thanks he looked at me
12:22with mixed emotions his gaze falling on my packed luggage i'm planning to have viv come with me to
12:27the capital you don't need to pack i did not stop packing and simply nodded he seemed unaccustomed to
12:34this attitude from me appearing somewhat uneasy what's wrong with you lately you're like a completely
12:39different person i turned around impatiently i did not want any complications although sebastian did not
12:46love me if he discovered that vivian's name was on the marriage license he might very well divorce
12:51her and marry me for her sake i wanted no further entanglement with this despicable pair nothing i just
12:58want to organize my thing so i can move back to the countryside after you go to the capital he
13:03breathed
13:04a sigh of relief and explained it's not that i don't want you to tag along it's just that viv
13:09has
13:09never seen the capital and wants to visit i'll bring you there in a few months i nodded absentmindedly
13:15i still remember the day i stepped off the train the capital was cold and magnificent yet i stood alone
13:21at the station with a worn out suitcase watching him force a smile while his eyes were full of
13:26exhaustion and regret he never once held my hand that day in my previous life he never sent for me
13:32for
13:32eight whole years only after vivian married a high-ranking general son from the capital did he bring me
13:38there in despair he watched me with unease usually i would talk his ear off about everything and
13:44anything when we were alone now that i was barely speaking he seemed on edge didn't you always want
13:50to take wedding photos let's go to the photo studio tomorrow that would not work for me as i planned
13:55to
13:56buy university supplies tomorrow just as i was about to make an excuse vivian walked in and affectionately
14:02hugged sebastian's arm sab what photo studio i want to take pictures to sebastian smiled and patted vivian's
14:11head sure we'll all go together tomorrow you two go ahead i have something to do tomorrow sebastian
14:18frowned what could be more important than taking wedding photos let's take the photos first then i'll go
14:25shopping with you his tone was firm and did not allow for refusal vivian pooted playfully exactly
14:31ratch you're not avoiding this because of me are you i did not want to argue further and agreed to
14:36go
14:38early the next morning i heard sebastian coaxing vivian to get out of bed in gentle pleading tones
14:43from her room the circle on the calendar reminded me that there were four days left in four days i
14:49could
14:49completely escape this life just when my patience was wearing thin they finally emerged from the room
14:55taking their sweet time sebastian attentively took some water and personally washed vivian's face
15:01lost in thought i watched as sebastian approached me awkwardly clutching a ring mrs gilbert reminded me
15:08to buy you a wedding ring here it is i did not take it in my previous life this ring
15:13never existed
15:14the moment vivian saw it she pooted it's so pretty i want one too i generously offered
15:22then take it sebastian's face darkened immediately stop fooling around this is our wedding ring
15:28vivian snatched the ring and slipped it onto her finger waving it at sebastian seb does it look good
15:34on me sebastian gazed at vivian with pure adoration nodding with a foolish grin then he turned to me
15:40and whispered i'll buy you another one next time i nodded indifferently i had heard his promises
15:47countless times yet he never kept them at the photo studio vivian went first even taking several
15:54couple shots with sebastian when it was my turn with sebastian the photographer raised his camera but
16:00awkwardly lowered it again oh dear i'm sorry i'm out of film i secretly rejoiced while maintaining a neutral
16:08expression oh well forget it then outside the studio sebastian pulled a train ticket from his pocket
16:15and handed it to me it was a standing room ticket to the capital departing in four days i didn't
16:21mean
16:21to abandon you i'll get settled first and wait for you in the capital the journey to the capital would
16:27take three days and nights i could not fathom how he expected me to stand the entire way especially since
16:33there was only one military dependent slot available where would i even live once i got there
16:38however asking now would not yield any satisfactory answers seeing me accept the ticket sebastian visibly
16:45relaxed don't worry even if you don't live in in military family housing you're still my only wife
16:52i'll treat you well from now on i only see vivas as a sister
16:57suddenly a car shot out from around the corner heading straight for us sebastian instinctively
17:03pulled vivian into his arms and dodged to safety in the chaos someone pushed me hard from behind
17:08the car was bearing down on me my body froze in terror
17:13seb watch out the vehicle swerved sharply at the last second but still struck me sending me flying before
17:20dragging me along the rough pavement intense pain exploded throughout my body darkness crept
17:25into my vision as cold sweat poured down my face the driver frantically jumped out of the car
17:31his face pale with panic miss are you okay oh my god i'm so sorry i didn't see you someone
17:37call
17:38an ambulance a crowd quickly gathered around pointing and whispering through the sea of onlookers
17:44my gaze fixed steadily on sebastian at this moment he was still tightly holding vivian gently stroking
17:50her back to comfort her he was completely oblivious to the fact that i had been hit
17:54seb i'm so scared my legs feel weak don't be afraid i'm right here are you hurt anywhere let
18:02me check you properly perhaps he had noticed or perhaps he simply did not care i smiled bitterly
18:08the last trace of hesitation in my heart vanished completely so this is what you meant by i'll treat
18:15you well from now on sebastian froze he opened his mouth then took a step forward wanting to come over
18:21at that moment vivian suddenly reached out and grabbed sebastian's arm tightly her voice soft and
18:27trembling seb it hurts my waist hurts so much sebastian's body immediately stopped he looked back
18:33at vivian his expression full of concern and hesitation in the end he didn't take another step toward me
18:39the driver helped carry me into the car and rushed me to the hospital after a thorough examination i
18:45learned it was fortunately just external injuries and minor internal displacement i lay in the hospital
18:51bed aching all over yet my heart felt strangely calm the driver who had been waiting anxiously outside
18:57finally came in he looked guilty and uneasy as he asked miss are you feeling a little better do you
19:04have any family members i can call for you i can contact them right away so they can come take
19:08care of
19:08you i slowly shook my head my voice weak but calm none need i don't have any family the driver
19:15was
19:15stunned for a moment his expression turning even more apologetic he opened his mouth but didn't know
19:21what to say eventually just nodding awkwardly and leaving the room quietly i lay in the hospital bed
19:26staring at the white ceiling a faint bitter smile appeared on my lips late into the night sebastian
19:32walked in with a weary face seeing that i was awake panic flashed across his features rachel how you
19:39feeling any better i looked at him coldly without speaking he rubbed his hands together explaining
19:45uneasily viv was a bit traumatized by the shock i've been staying with her so he awkwardly fell silent
19:53under my stare rachel listen to me the situation was so urgent and viv was closer to me i instinctively
19:59i didn't know you would get hit she's devon gad he paused seemingly searching for the right words
20:05i interrupted him when are you leaving for the capital he answered cautiously tomorrow i see
20:14i want to rest now please leave i closed my eyes dismissing him sebastian wanted to say more but he
20:21ultimately had the sense to leave our mom penelope came to visit the next day she carried a thermos
20:27with her her face beaming with a smile rachel dear sebastian asked me to take care of you
20:34are you feeling better much better thank you mom while ladling soup for me she chattered on
20:40sebastian is so clumsy i don't know if you take proper care of vib halfway through she seemed to
20:47suddenly realize something and awkwardly closed her mouth mom vivian's name on the amr irish license
20:53to sebastian penelope froze taking a long moment to process this what did you say the marriage
21:00application i submitted had vivian name on it of course the marriage license belonged to the them
21:04penelope's face revealed shock before it transformed into pure joy rachel you're such a good girl i
21:12knew you were the most sensible one she excitedly gripped my hand rachel thank you thank you for
21:20making their happiness possible i smiled faintly without responding making their happiness possible i was
21:28only securing my own freedom she had always favored vivian anyway in my previous life despite all my
21:34devoted care for her she still left her entire inheritance to vivian in her old age mom don't
21:40tell sebastian and viva about this yet penelope beamed of course of course i understand so what are your
21:48plans now i'm leaving in a few days too penelope wanted to ask more but she still patted my hand
21:54gently and said with rare softness rachel you've always been a good and sensible child
22:00mom will remember your kindness i smiled faintly and replied calmly as long as you and the family
22:06are well that's enough for me penelope wanted to ask more but her mind was completely occupied
22:12with their wedding i simply closed my eyes and pretended to sleep
22:18on the day i was discharged i did not notify anyone before leaving i wrote a letter to sebastian
22:25sebastian by the time you read this letter i'll already be on a train heading south i know you've
