Chapter 10 Chapter 10 "Didn't you love her more than anything?" His smile was painful, full of self-mockery: "How could that be love? I was just too young and too stupid.] "Ruby." He let out a long sigh:[] "Now I get why you were so focused on studying back then. "You used to tell me to do the right thing at the right age.] "I wasn't ready to listen back then.[] "But now when I try to go back to how I was in high school, it's impossible.] "Even though I want so badly to win you back."[] "What fucking did you say, Jonas!"[] A sudden angry voice made me jump. I quickly stepped back as Rachel rushed up and grabbed him by the throat: "I knew it! You only went back to school for her![] "You want to ditch me and the baby? Not gonna happen!" Jonas frowned: "What are you talking about? What baby?"] "What, you gonna pretend none of this happened?"[] Rachel clutched her belly:[] "This is your kid!" "Bullshit!" Jonas slamined his hand on the table: "I alreday know you've been whoring around with half the town!"] "Oh, so now you're trying to back out, huh?"[] Rachel grabbed a fruit knife and held it to her own throat: "Fine! Kill me right now and you two can be together! Come on!" I backed away several steps again. Richard had already heard the commotion and rushed over. Jonas looked at me frantically: "Ruby! Don't believe her! She's always lying- she spiked my drink, that's how she... "But this baby can't be mine! I only love you!" Richard pulled me behind him: "Mr. Parker, maybe save those words for when her fiancé isn't standing right here."]] "Fiancé?" Jonas couldn't believe it.[] I nodded: "Yeah, my partner might be little annoying sometimes, but I did agree to marry him."[] Richard immediately lit up with a triumphant smile. But Jonas's eyes turned red:[] "Ruby, we're the ones who were married! Don't you remember? We used to..."]] "You really think you have the right to bring up the past?" That one sentence shut him up completely.[] Jonas's eyes were red as he nodded, his smile particularly bitter:[] "Yeah, I forgot - all of this is because of me..."[] "Jonas!" Rachel grabbed his collar, relentless: "You better fix this shit today! Otherwise I'll..."[] The fruit knife suddenly plunged into Rachel's abdomen.] She stared at her stomach in shock, backing away in disbelief:[] "You... you actually dared to..."]] Jonas watched silently as she collapsed to the ground, then turned to look at me with red eyes, giving a tragic smile: "I'm sorry, Ruby. What's the point of living again if I still can't fix what I did? I just... can't keep going." "I'll probably get the death penalty... "Ruby, I hope in the next life, I can go back to when you still belonged to me. "I swear, I'll spend my entire life making it up to you..."[] When the police took him away, Richard kept me firmly protected behind him.[] I only caught a glimpse of him through the crowd.] His gaze cut through everyone, lingering on me with reluctance. Like he had endless regrets he couldn't express, only tears to show them.] "So when you said you traveled through time before, you weren't kidding?"[] Richard said jokingly as we sat in the car. I kept my head down, still studying my research materials:] "Yeah, maybe we won't even meet in the next life." The hand holding my pen was gently taken in his. He leaned closer, his voice soft: Not gonna happen After years of devotedly caring for her family, she was met with relentless ingratitude from her husband and son—who even brazenly vowed to form a "real family" with a glamorous actress.
