"Jackson, I'm pregnant."
Standing outside the master bedroom, Amelia Moore's face turned deathly pale when she heard the words, and she felt a chill run down her spine.
Jackson Miller was her husband, and the woman who spoke was his first love, Eleanor Ball.
The situation was ludicrous.
Amelia had been married to Jackson for three whole years, yet he had never once touched her intimately.
However, his first love Eleanor waltzed into the family officially on Amelia's birthday, announcing that she was now pregnant.
"Okay. I will take good care of the baby once it's born!" Jackson's response was sickeningly sweet.
The irony of it all was suffocating!
Amelia couldn't bear to look up, her throat dry.
Despite the pain and heartbreak she felt, she found herself unable to cry or lash out as she had anticipated. It was as though her heart had died within her.
"Amelia, why are you here?"
Suddenly, a soft and surprised voice of a woman came from above Amelia's head.
Amelia stood on the stairs and slowly raised her head, looking at Eleanor's pale face.
Eleanor always looked so pitiful and delicate. No wonder Jackson couldn't forget her. Although he had married Amelia, he wanted to be with Eleanor despite the rumors.
Amelia sneered indifferently, "Ha! Isn't this what you want to see?"
Eleanor took a step back, pretending to be scared, but she stumbled.
"Amelia, don't go too far!" Jackson's growl was like thunder, crashing above Amelia's head.
She looked up and saw his furious face. Her heart gradually sank.
After a long while, she asked in a low voice, "What did I do wrong?"
Jackson gritted his teeth and said, "Eleanor is pregnant now but you scared her. Isn't that too much?"
Amelia looked at him calmly and said in a bland voice, "Jackson, do you remember what day it is today?"
Jackson was stunned.
Amelia laughed in a low voice and her eyes were filled with sadness.
Today was her birthday, so she made dinner at home early and waited for him to come back. She had a very simple wish, which was for him to accompany her for dinner.
However, he had brought his first love home, and he didn't even remember it was her birthday!
Once upon a time, she was a beautiful and talented girl who was envied by countless people.
But what had she done in the past three years? She made herself small and submissive because of a man who didn't love her. Was it worth it?
"Amelia!"
Eleanor suddenly rushed up and grabbed Amelia's hand. "It's my fault. I love Jackson so much that I couldn't control myself. Please don't blame him, okay? I'll leave, and I'll abort the child as well!"
Amelia was caught off guard, and Eleanor grabbed her arm tightly. The intense pain made her shake her hand subconsciously.
"Ah!" Eleanor took advantage of the situation and fell back.
"Eleanor!"
The expression on Jackson's face changed drastically when that happened. He rushed over and held Eleanor in his arms. However, Amelia was pushed away by Eleanor and fell down the stairs!
Bang!
Amelia felt intense pain, but her mind was blank. She lay on the floor, and her ears were ringing.
Blood flowed out from the back of her head and dyed the ground red.
Amelia struggled to keep her eyes open, and she vaguely saw a figure frantically rushing toward her through her blurred vision.
She then smiled self-mockingly.
She had loved the wrong person in this life. If she were given another chance at life, she would rather die than repeat the same mistake...
***
Splash!
Ice-cold water drenched Amelia, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.
Slowly wiping the water from her face, she opened her eyes to see an angry man standing before her.
"Have you had enough?" he demanded, his voice dripping with venom. "Eleanor has put up with you long enough! How could you be so malicious as to push her into the lake?"
"Jackson, calm down," Eleanor interjected. "I'm sure Amelia didn't do it on purpose."
Amelia was completely bewildered. She looked around, trying to make sense of what was happening.
She realized that Jackson and Eleanor were standing in front of her, but the details were fuzzy.
Hadn't she fallen down the stairs and died?
Wait a minute! This scene seemed to be familiar to her.
Amelia then observed her surroundings carefully. She saw the messy living room, the broken glass everywhere, and Jackson fuming in front of her. She even saw that bitch Eleanor!
These scenes overlapped with those in her memories.
Oh, yes! This was what happened at Jackson's birthday party two years ago!
Eleanor had just returned from abroad. In the name of telling her something about Jackson, she invited Amelia to the lakeside of the garden.
Then, Eleanor started to ridicule and belittle her.
She was so angry that she couldn't help but push Eleanor.
However, Eleanor seized the opportunity and plunged into the lake.
Jackson happened to rush over at this exact time. Then, Eleanor was saved while Jackson hated Amelia to the core.
She tried her best to explain, but Jackson didn't care.
At that time, she was aggressive and had a short fuse. She felt deeply wronged and confronted Jackson.
Then, this scene happened.
Amelia suddenly realized that she had been given a second chance at life!
She had been reborn and sent back in time by two years.
Back then, Jackson had a temper, and he showed signs of violence and mistreatment towards her. But Amelia knew she had the Moore family as a safety net if things went south.
Taking a deep breath, Amelia tried to contain the excitement bubbling up inside her.
Everything was just the beginning! She could change many things in her previous life!
"Amelia, get lost!" Jackson glared at her and roared in a fierce tone, "Either leave the Miller family, or we divorce!"
Eleanor's entire body stiffened, and a hint of ecstasy could be seen in her eyes.
Amelia stared at the two of them as the scene of her previous life flashed across her eyes. At that time, Jackson said the same thing, but she replied, "No!"
Jackson looked at her disgustedly and said coldly at that time, "You forced me to marry you. Now, you're shameless and refuse to leave! Amelia, you make me sick!"
Ah, yes! Back then, if she hadn't used five billion dollars as a bargaining chip to force Jackson to marry her, he wouldn't have married her!
A year ago, the Miller Group had needed a lot of cash flow, and she had taken the initiative to offer him five billion dollars and forced him to marry her.
However, she had been too naive. She had thought that as long as she stayed with Jackson, he would fall in love with her sooner or later.
But reality had given her a hard slap in the face.
She had lost so badly that she couldn't bear to recall those memories.
Now that she had been reborn, she would never allow herself to live such a humble life.
"Sure." Amelia looked at Jackson calmly and said in an indifferent voice, "You want a divorce? I agree."
