My husband Kody and I had a huge argument on our way to the hospital, which led to an unexpected accident.
When I opened my eyes again, we were back to the time before we started dating.
In our previous life, we were married for ten years. While our relationship wasn't filled with passion, we treated each other with the utmost respect, like courteous guests.
However, he never wanted to have a child with me.
It was only later that I realized his heart had always been set on his first love.
After being reborn, I decided to let him go.
We quietly erased each other from our lives, kept our distance, and chose different paths.
Seven years later, he became a top financial strategist and proposed to his first love, Daniela, at a class reunion.
Seeing me still single, he couldn't help but mock me.
"Emeline, I know you couldn't let go of me across both lifetimes. After all, I'm quite the catch, but you don't have to hold onto me so tightly."
I didn't respond and simply took my daughter's hand.
Kody's face turned pale, and with eyes filled with anger, he questioned me.
"Didn't you say you'd love me for a lifetime and only want our child?"
...
Once again, I opened my eyes and found myself at a formal club gathering before I started dating Kody.
It was during this event that we first formed a subtle connection.
As I looked at the person across from me, who slowly raised his head to meet my gaze, I realized that we both had been reborn.
In our previous lives, Kody and I were married for ten years without children.
I struggled to maintain the marriage, and although he said he didn't like children, I bore all the family pressure alone because I loved him.
It was only later that I learned he never forgot his first love and that the person he wanted to start a family with was never me.
"Are you two already locking eyes? How's it going? When are you going to invite us to dinner together?"
The teasing voices of our classmates brought me back to reality.
"We're just good friends; don't misunderstand. I added Emeline on WeChat because I needed her help with something, " Kody quickly explained, looking both flustered and awkward. I found his reaction amusing.
"Come on, I remember the way you looked at Emeline before; your eyes were almost sparkling. Why deny it now?"
"Exactly, are you two hiding something from us?"
"That's not fair. You can't keep secrets from us."
