For ten years, my husband, Henry Maxwell, never stopped blaming me for not being able to have a child. When our marriage finally hit rock bottom, fate decided to finish us off—we died together in a car crash. When I opened my eyes again, we were back on the day he first confessed his love to me. The moment our eyes met, we both understood. Without a word, we deleted each other's numbers and walked away. This time, he went after the rich girl in our class, using her father's connections to study abroad and become a well-known designer. I chose to stay here, build a steady life, and find peace in my own way. Eight years later, at my son's school ceremony, I ran into him again. Dressed in a sharp suit and wearing that same smug look, he sneered, "Jessica, so you're a stepmom now? Figures. A woman who can't have kids is only fit to raise someone else's." I didn't respond. I just glanced at the little boy standing beside him—who looked nothing like him—and everything became clear. He still has no idea—it wasn't me who couldn't have children in our past life.
