" Alright , once I've finished everything I have planned , then I'll try what you suggested and give you a chance to pursue me . But I can't promise that we'll end up together . " Derrick nodded with a gentle smile . " I'm just glad you've come around . " " If you need me to cooperate with your act in the coming days , I'll do it . " After they had sorted everything out , Genevieve finally left , satisfied . Seeing her come out of Derrick's room , Nathaniel's eyes darkened . " " I've told you , there's nothing between me and him . Don't worry so much . You know you're the one I love most ! " Is that really true ?

Only now did he belatedly realize how clumsy his lies had been back then , just like Genevieve's now . Clearly , she felt something different for Derrick , yet she chose to lie , using the same words he had once used in his past life . The sting in his heart felt like a mocking reminder of his own mistakes . If he hadn't developed feelings for Elaine in his previous life , would things have turned out differently ? For a moment , Nathaniel couldn't even understand the meaning of being reborn . Was it to atone for what he had done in his past life , and that's why everything was happening now ? If that was the case , then he would accept it all . Nathaniel didn't expose Genevieve's lie , just as she hadn't exposed his before . He simply stared at her , pressing further : " Genny , I know you love me most . We promised to stay together forever and never be apart . We'll make it , right ? " At these words , Genevieve fell silent . After a long moment , she finally nodded slowly . " Yes , we will . We'll never be apart for the rest of our lives .

Nathaniel , sitting nearby , looked as dark as the bottom of a pot , and crushed the empty wine glass in his hand . With a crisp cracking sound , Genevieve finally noticed Nathaniel . She quickly grabbed his hand , opened it to see shards of glass embedded in his bleeding palm , feeling a pang of concern . She immediately asked a waiter for a first aid kit and quickly tended to his wound . " I'm sorry , Nate .
