Chapter 6 Don’t Want to Get Involved
Pansy alrealized who I was. Her expersson became interesting, to say the least. Het gaze was hostile, but she didn’t dare approach me to challengeme
I pulled Mom down to sit with me and started complaining “I didn’t want to come at all, but Rowan Insisted. It’s so boring here.”
oh, you. This serious business; what’s so boring about that?” She held my hand. Her words were reproachful, but her bone was doting,
enced at any out of the ceter of my eye and continued nonchalantly, “it just is. Oh, right, I’ve asked Lee to hire a few household staff members for me. I want to gain some wright Rowan said I’m too skinny, so I have to eat and sleep more!
Pansy bit het lips, seemingly trying hard to hold herself back.
rou should’ve done so long ago. It’s just you and him in such a huge place–how can you maintain the place alone?” Mom was approving at my decision
“wanted us to have some time alone, didn’t I? I’ve had enough of that now.” I deliberately made things sound ambiguous. Pansy was only a passerby in Rowan’s, and the meant nothing. She wasn’t anywhere close to being as important Ashley, so I didn’t need to mind my words around her
She stood up and hurried off. Lulu tollowed her, probably abo feeling awkward.
Once the dinner party was over, refused to head home with Rowan. I wanted to return to my parents home and spend a few days with them.
“okay. I’m ling” Rowan had never cared whereimas. All he asked for was that I didn’t embarrass him.
Dad was still chanting up a strom with his friends, uncaring that the dinner party was already over. tom gave me the car key and told me to wait for her in the parking lot while she tried to curb bad’s propensity for long chats.
Theaded to the parking lot. I found Dad’s car and was about to get in when I saw Rowan and Pansy Together Pansy was holding onto the corner of Rowan’s shirt, looking antieved.“You treated me so well. How could you not have any feelings for me don’tbuyi
‘s up to you whether to bebeve me just leave me alone from now on Rowan shook heroit
This was what he’d always been like. He would turn his back and get nasty once he was sick of someone. Anyway, he’d only gheen Pansy an apartment or a house. Did she really think she was his true love?
He saw me out of the comer of his eye, and he turned to fix his impatient and annoyed gaze on me. It was as if 1 were the wom pestering him
Timmediately got into the cat and locked the doors: If not for the fact that I had to wait for Mom and Dad, I would’ve put the pedal to the metal and sped off.
I didn’t know what got into Rowan, but the sight of me trying to loop out of his business made him snap. He stalked over to Dad’s car and knocked on the window. I saw him mauch, “Come out!”
Trowned and shook my head. I mouthed back, “No way.”
Then, my phone rang. It was acall from Rowan “Get out of there, ory!”
“I don’t want to get involved in your mess with her “I looked into his eyes through the window as 1 spoke.
I’d already thought things through- Leuldn’t get a divorce before Rowan and Ashley met, I would just stick it out until he brought the divorce up. Then,
peto Atthe same time, I would get a portion of Payne Corporation’s stocks. It was no less to me
I would immediately
In my previous Life, Rowan had chased after Ashley for all year before asking me for a divorce and coming clean to his tamdy, I’d refused and battled him for close to a year, with me ending in deleat.
Constantly dreaming of getting revenge in this life was nothing but ameingless obsession. My pervious
us life was
was more like a dream now than anything else, and my current de
Everything that had happened in my previous life had yet to happen now, and I didn’t intend to become a psychotic women because of a realistic nightmare.
“Get out here! Ran was furious. It was probably because he’d never experienced a rejection from me before.
Pansy approached him with tears on her face. She grabbed hold of wan’s shirt and refused to ergo again
Honestly, wasn’t she supposed to be a celebrity or something? How could she be such a nuisance? Then again, I had no right to mock others. I could see myself in her. Rowan glared at me before grabbing Pansy’s hand and dragging her to his car. I sighed in relief as i watched him speed oft
I was almost falling asleep when Mom and Dad arrived. Mom snapped at Dad, “I don’t understand how you can be so talkative. Look at how sleepy vy’s become while waiting for
“C’mon, I had no choice. There’s something wrong with the project in the south, and we had to discuss matters to make sure everything goes smoothly,” Dad said white buckling

I sat in the backset, feeling sleeps. In the past, whenever I dreamed, I would see scenes of mechasing after Down: Now, I would dream of my paste. It was as if God were afraid I would forget the horrors experienced then and kept using my dreams to remind me
“I want blowings, Mom.” Mom sat in the backseat with me, so held her hand and leaned against her.
This is what mothers were like–mum and comforting
“At this hour?” She swatted my hand in exasperation. “What’s up with you today? Have you and Rowan gotten into a fight? You usually go days without coming home or calling u
“what can I say was blinded by love,” said herkily. “From today onward, I’m gonna cling to you and Dad and be the best daughter possible”
Everyone around me more or less knew that my feelings for Rowan were unreciprocated, so Mom was surprised by my words. Dad was so shocked that he dinost turned the steering wheel the wrong way.
He asked, “Wait, youdon’t like Rowan anymore?!
I did, but that wouldn’t stop me from letting him go and moving on Ultimately, I would tal to keep him by my side. He belonged to Ashley, who was young and various. He didn’t
“we’ve already been married for five years, Dad. Why would we need to talk about love and all that stuff? I just think I should move on to doing other things instead of oching around him all the line,” I said light–heartedly
Chapter 6 Dont Want to Get involved
“That makes perfect sense. Look at how Rowan’s always involved in one scandal or another. I’ve had a thing or two to say about that for a long time now!” Dad suddenly had the confidence to express his displeasure toward Rowan…
He hadn’t said anything in the past because he knew I’d been madly in love with Rowan. He was afraid I would get mad at him if he were to say anything-
Now, Lagreed with him. “Exactly. He’s a jerk!
Mom and Dad Immediately started to voice their dissatisfaction toward Rowan now that I’d given them a head start. Only then did I realize how much they’d been withholding for my sake
l
I felt so bitter and guilty that I couldn’t even hold my head up high.
it was late at night when we got home, so I went to take a bath before going to sleep. Mom knocked on my door, and I asked blearily, “What’s up, Mom?”
“You wanted buffalo wings, right? I made you some. Do you want to have some before going back to sleep?” she asked.
immediately became alert. I sat there for a few seconds, feeling stunned. Then, I burst into tears.
I’d yet to cry since being reborn. Even when dreamed of the horrors of my previouse, I’d only jolted awake, feeling horrible, I’d already grown numb to the pain, so nothing
could make me feel worse than that
But the fact that Mom had made me the buffalo wings I wanted in the middle of the night just made me want to cry.
