Reborn for Helping My Husband Reunite with His First Love, He Suddenly Changed His Mind

On one ordinary night, when my husband was driving with me at high speed along a deserted suburban road, he suddenly blurted out, Did you know your cousin died?'

For a while, I didn't react. Huh?

Shes dead, so theres no meaning for me to go on living either. Chloe Baker, lets go down and join her together!

After saying that, he yanked the steering wheel hard. The car instantly lost control and plunged toward a deep pit beside the road.

With a thunderous crash, the car slammed into the ground. Both Brandon Kensley and I suffered severe, life-threatening injuries.

In his final moments, he mustered his last strength to tell me, If time could be turned back to forty years ago at the mountain's base, you must never save me.

That day, she also passed by the mountain. If you hadnt taken me away, I would have met her first.

After saying that, he drew his last breath.

Filled with questions, resentment and anger, I could only die with my eyes open. But when I opened my eyes again, I returned to forty years ago. This time around, I decided to let Brandon and his first love be together.

However, there was just one problem: I didn't have any cousins at all.

In a daze, the scenery around me shifted abruptly. I found myself back at the very spot where I had saved Brandon all those years ago. When I had my hair braided into two pigtails and I was carrying a basket of hazelnuts I had just gathered on the mountain. And, not so far ahead, a man covered in blood lay. It was the young Brandon.

It was at that moment that I realized I had been reborn.

I walked over to him and kicked him twice. Seeing that he didnt wake up, I squatted down and slapped him twice across the face. Finally, he woke up.

When he saw the young me, confusion flashed across his face, then surprise and finally anger.

Dont save me! Stay away from me!

I realized he was too, had been reborn.

I thought of what he said to me before he died. If time could be turned back to forty years ago at the foot of the mountain, you must not save me. That day, she also passed by the mountain. If you hadnt taken me away, I would have met her first.

Seeing me freeze, he roared, Get lost! Are you deaf? Dont touch me!

I immediately stood up and walked away without looking back.

In my previous life, I had carried the badly injured Brandon home on my back, spent all the tuition I had painstakingly saved and invited the best doctor in the village to set his bones. I even stayed by his bedside day and night, never leaving his side.

He once held my hand and promised, Chloe, you saved my life. Without you, there would be no Brandon. In this life, I, Brandon Kensley, vow that I'll marry no one but you and I will never betray you!

Later, after he recovered, he applied to the police academy and became a proud police officer, eventually rising smoothly to become a bureau chief.

He also fulfilled his promise to marry me after graduating from college. We were husband and wife for forty years. I bore him three sons.

Now we even have grandchildren, yet I never knew that the one he truly wanted to marry was never me. He even hated me so much that he wanted to take me with him to die.

This time, I wanted to see who this unforgettable first love was, the person he had been longing for forty years!

I walked to a spot where Brandon couldn't see me and hid behind a large tree. From this angle, I could see him clearly.

After waiting for ages, someone finally passed by.

The person had long hair that coiled atop her head, a pair of bright, watery eyes and a small face that was so tender it looked like water could be squeezed out of it.

It was Taylor Johanson, my next-door neighbor.

As soon as Brandon saw her, his whole body started to squirm, so I knew it was her.

In my previous life, after I brought him home, Taylor had come by once. So I never expected that just that one visit would make him pine for her for forty years.

When Taylor passed him by, she only glanced at him before continuing her walk.

Brandon panicked. Miss, please save me. I'll repay you generously."

At the promise of a reward, Taylor finally halted her steps. If I save you, how much will you give me?

My family is very wealthy. If you're willing to save me, I can give you four hundred and fifty dollars!

In the 1980s, four hundred and fifty dollars was an enormous temptation for our poor little mountain village.

Taylor's eyes lit up. Alright. Its a deal!

Since she was powerful, she could carry Brandon on her back easily. In my previous life, I had nearly broken my waist when I carried him home.

After I knew who his unforgettable first love was, I could finally go home with peace of mind. And once the last batch of hazelnuts in the crate sold, I would have enough money for college tuition.

In my past life, I gave up admission to Tanulo University for Brandon, dedicating myself solely to being his devoted wife. Yet he despised me for being uneducated and lacking cultural refinement. He only fixated on that fleeting glimpse of beauty from his youth.

So this time, I would live for myself.

Just as I was packing for school registration, Taylor suddenly burst into my house.

Chloe, come with me, now!

Her anxious look startled me. Where are we going?

Just come with me!

She dragged me to her place and pointed at Brandon, who was badly injured on the bed. Chloe, you know how to bandage wounds, right? Help me dress that guy's injuries.

When Brandon saw me, he became agitated. No! I don't need her help! I'll never owe her anything in this lifetime!

I took a step back. This patient is clearly resistant to my help and besides, I only know basic wound care. His leg is clearly broken and needs to be set. You should find him a doctor.

We can barely afford to put food on the table! Where would we get the money to hire a doctor? Chloe, do you have any money?

Suddenly, Brandon roared, I don't need her money!

Taylor, please go borrow some money for medical expenses from someone else. Once I'm better and back home, I'll repay them double!

Taylor sighed and walked out with me.

I asked her, Are you going to borrow money?

Borrow money? I'm not going to get into debt for some random stranger! Who knows if what he says is even true? What if I heal him and he runs off? Who would I ask for the money then?

Then what are you going to do?

Ill go gather some herbs for him. Whether he lives or dies depends on his own fate. I already saved himhe should be grateful to me. And he still wants me to borrow money to treat his injuries? Dream on!

Brandon had incredible luck. Even though Taylor only slapped some hemostatic herbs on him, he miraculously survived. But since his leg bone wasn't set properly, he became permanently lame.

Two months later, I saw him again. He stood at Taylor's doorstep with a backpack slung over his shoulder, saying goodbye to her.

He clasped her hands. "Taylor, as soon as I get home, I will have my parents send you money. You must not move away. I will marry you when I graduate from the university!"

You must stay here, so I can find you!

Taylor nodded. I will, don't worry.

As I looked at Brandon limping away, I really hoped he would not regret this.

"Taylor, that guy just said he'd come back to marry you. Does he know about you ...

Taylor rolled her eyes. He doesn't know. I think that guy's got some issues.

Then ... are you really going to marry him?

How could that be possible? It's completely impossible for the two of us, okay?

In my previous life, Taylor fled to another place to avoid debt, abandoning her ancestral home and we lost contact from that moment.

If Brandon really sent her money in this life, she probably wouldnt be forced to leave her hometown.

As for how things would turn out for them in the future, only time will tell.

What I had to do now was to report to Tanulo University.

In this life, the study and dreams I had given up for Brandon in my previous life, I would reclaim them.

Four years later, I returned to my hometown with my Tanulo University graduation certificate and the first person I encountered was Brandon.

"Chloe."

He called out to me, his eyes filled with astonished admiration.

By then, I had received a higher education and spent four years striving in the big city, transforming into a stylish and sophisticated woman. I was no longer the rustic girl with two braids and a floral padded jacket.

Oh, it's you. Are you here to see Taylor?

Brandon didn't answer. Instead, he said, Judging by your appearance, you must have gone to the city for school?

Yes. I've graduated from Tanulo University.

Brandon scoffed. "You? You got into Tanulo University?"

I directly took out the Tanulo University degree certificate. You went to university too. You recognize this, right?

He froze. You really got in? Then why before ...

Before, I spent all my tuition money treating your injuries, so I couldn't afford the school. This time around, you don't need my help, so naturally, I could save up money for my education.

Brandon turned pale with shock. You you were reborn too!

I smiled at him. Did you get to monopolize being reborn?

When were you reborn?

A little earlier than you.

I glanced at his crippled leg. This time, I fulfilled your wish, but Im afraid you'll never get into that police academy now.

His expression grew incredibly complex as he gritted his teeth.

So what? For Taylor, I'm willing to give up everything!

Is that so? Then do you know she ...

Shut up!

Before I could finish, he cut me off sharply. I know what you're going to say!

You just want to say Taylor isn't as good as you, right? I know you still have feelings for me! But even if you graduate from Tanulo University this time, I'll still choose her without hesitation!

Is that so? So you're saying you'd accept everything about her, no matter what, just because it's her?

Of course!

I had nothing more to say. Then I wish you happiness.

Brandon exhaled. "Chloe,?I know youve always loved me deeply. If it werent for her, maybe I could have grown old with you.

But fate brought Taylor into my life. She's the woman I truly want for my entire life! If you don't want me to despise you, stop playing dirty tricks to sabotage us!

His words amused me. "Brandon, its been two lifetimes and youre still this arrogant. What makes you think that current me would still like you?"

What else could it be? Chloe, you can be stubborn with your words, but your eyes can't lie. Just admit it you still have feelings for me."

I advise you to find a boyfriend soon. I can't give you anything in this lifetime, so stop pining for me.

At that moment, Drake Maxwell, who had just parked the car, walked over to me. I immediately wrapped my arm affectionately around his.

Let me introduce you. This is my husband, Drake Maxwell.

Brandon was dumbfounded. After a long while, he finally said, "Chloe, youre lying to me, right? How could you get married before me?

"Do you want to see our marriage certificate? Drake, show him."

Drake pulled out our marriage certificate and held it before Brandon. We just got it today.

Brandon forced a smile. I know you too well. You just got married to a random person just to spite me."

"Drake isnt someone I found at random. Hes my senior from university. We dated for four years before finally making it official.

You two dated for four years? But I havent even dated Taylor for that long!

Brandon's sudden outburst was truly hilarious.

"What does the matter that you two are dating or not have to do with me?

Just then, Taylor came out of her house and Brandon immediately held her hand.

Taylor, when should we go get our marriage certificate?

Oh, didn't I tell you? I lost my ID card and my household registration is still in my hometown. So it's very difficult to get it reissued. Let's just have the wedding firstit's all the same.

Brandon finally felt proud and said, "Yes, we'll have a wedding! We'll hold it right here in the village and it will be a grand one!"

Taylor pushed him back inside. You go wait in the house first. I haven't seen my sister in years. I want to talk to her alone for a bit.

She pulled me to a deserted spot to ask, "You didn't tell him bout my situation, did you?

No. I didnt get the chance to do it. But are you really going to marry him?

The dowry he offered is just too generous. You know my dadhe's drowning in gambling debts. I'll make this sacrifice, put up with him for now and get the dowry first.

She pointed at me. Dont you dare tell him about me, understand? Dont ruin my plans!

I nodded vigorously. Got it!

But I could not suppress the smile tugging at my lips. I was already looking forward to their wedding day.

I wondered what Brandons reaction would be when he finally married the unforgettable first love he had longed for across two lifetimes.

The wedding day arrived quickly. Brandon hosted a grand banquet in the village. The round table alone was stretched from Taylor's house to almost the entrance of the village.

However, after all the guests were seated, not even ten tables were filled. The eight tables were filled with Brandon's relatives, while Taylor's side consisted of only my husband and me.

Brandon was confused. "Taylor, does your family have no other relatives?

Taylor's expression was very unnatural. No, either we've lost touch, or they've passed away.

Actually, she was lying. In reality, the marriage was so outrageous that her father was too embarrassed to invite anyone. He hadn't even invited the neighbors from the same village.

However, because Brandon was blinded by joy, he did not care about any of it.

After toasting the guests, before they'd even left, Brandon impatiently pulled Taylor into the bridal chamber.

Less than three minutes after they went in, Brandon suddenly burst out of the room, bare-chested and pale-faced.

And because he was running too fast, he tripped over the threshold and fell flat on his face. He immediately got up again and continued to run forward, like a frightened bird.

Only then did I get a clear look at him.

His eyes were bloodshot and bulging and he was screaming, Damn it! Damn it! She's not the woman I'm supposed to marry!
