Chapter2
Kate and I were taken in by the Millers after our parents died in a work accident.
Kate was charming and knew how to flatter, coaxing the Millers into treating her better than their own daughter.
Mrs. Miller, in particular, had her sights set on Kate marrying Jason.
But Kate’s single phrase, “I don’t want to compete with my sister,” made Jason willingly marry me.
In reality, she was just stringing Jason along. Back then, he was just a captain, and she was waiting for

In reality, she was just stringing Jason along. Back then, he was just a captain, and she was waiting for
someone better.
I went to the university, clarified the procedures and the estimated living expenses, then walked home with a lighter heart.
Back at Jason’s military housing, I heard Kate’s coquettish voice the moment I stepped inside
“Jasony, are you sure it’s okay to be here with me instead of Sandy? Will she be mad?
“I can spend time with her anytime, Jason replied, his voice tender. “But you always have such bad cramps, I don’t want you to be alone.”
Kate giggled, then feigned sadness
“Will you still be nice to me after you and Sandy are married?”
“Of course,” Jason’s voice was firm. “Who else would I be nice to?”
“If your sister is mean to you, I’ll divorce her!”
I clenched my fists, barely holding back the tears.
Even reborn, hearing my husband speak no coldly about me still stung
I composed myself and walked into the room as if nothing was amiss.
Jason emerged from Kate’s room, a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
“1. I just checked on Kate. She wasn’t feeling well.”
I gave a noncommittal humn and turned to go to my room
In my past life, I had fought with him countless times about their overly intimate behavior

10:47 am PIM.
“Sandy, are you upset that Jason was taking care of me?”
Kate came out of the room, looking all innocent and wronged.
She was wearing the vintage dress I’d bought specifically for our wedding photos.
The one I’d scrimped and saved for six months to buy in my past life, and hadn’t even worn once.
Noticing my gaze, Kate stammered, ‘I… I saw it on your bed and it looked so pretty. I wanted to try it on. I forgot to take it off.”
She looked down at her fiddling fingers, the picture of a child who’d made a mistake.
Jason instinctively started, “Sandy, don’t…”
I cut him off, my voice calm. “It looks good on you. Keep it. I haven’t worn it anyway.”
I could smell the faint scent of blood and sweat on the dress. It brought back memories of me running home in the middle of the night, crying.
Just thinking about it made my stomach churn.
Under their stunned gazes, I returned to my room and locked the door.
