Chapter 21
With the experiences from his previous life, Nathaniel understood everything about Riley better in this life.
They were even sweeter than in the previous life, until Victoria appeared in their lives again.
In this life, Victoria was still the same crazy person, even more insane than before. To prevent her from hurting Riley, Nathaniel made many efforts.
But this woman was vicious and as slippery as an cel. He sent many people, but still couldn’t prevent her.
What really surprised him was that Riley suddenly became different.
The once kind and timid Riley suddenly got into a fight with Victoria on a crowded street, with a boy by her side.
The moment he arrived, after confirming Riley was fine, he took Victoria away and locked her up.
When he returned to find Riley, she was already gone.
Nathaniel could only wait outside her dormitory, but unexpectedly, what he found was her returning with that boy, laughing and talking.
Even more unexpected was that she proposed breaking up.
Nathaniel thought she was just frightened and acting out of anger, so he went along with it, but still stayed by her side as her boyfriend, treating her well.
He thought she would come to her senses sooner or later.
Time passed, and Nathaniel said nothing, silently watching over her.
Until that day at rehearsal, when Victoria, who was supposedly no longer able to harm Riley, appeared again. His first reaction was to grab her, preventing her from hurting Riley.
But he didn’t expect that this crazy woman had already set things up in advance. The moment the light fell, he was scared to death.
He pushed through the crowd and rushed toward the stage, but from another direction, someone moved faster than him.
It was that boy from before.
Seeing that Riley was fine, just scared with minor scratches, Nathaniel didn’t approach.
He turned and chased after the crazy woman who had tried to harm someone and was attempting to escape. This time he finally realized that with this woman, there couldn’t be any slack.
Having caught Victoria with difficulty, Nathaniel locked her in the basement of the Blackwood family’s old house.
That place was more secure than Lakeside Manor, surrounded by guards. He also specifically arranged two teams to watch her in shifts, never again giving her the opportunity to come out and hurt Riley.

Chapter 21
In this life, he wanted his Riley to follow her original trajectory and live a happy and fulfilling life.
But when he found Riley, she was still with that boy.
He couldn’t help feeling jealous. Who was this boy who had suddenly appeared in their lives?
Did Riley like him?
But when he heard Riley say “I’ll never let her have the chance to break my legs again,” Nathaniel suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an icy pit. There was an indescribable bitterness in his heart, as if all the blood in his body had frozen in that instant. This bitterness surged in his heart, about to burst through his throat.
But he couldn’t spit it out, could only clench his fists tightly and swallow it back, leaving only a throat full of bitterness that couldn’t be expressed.
He had thought that being reborn was a chance given to him by Heaven, allowing him to make amends to the person he had deeply hurt.
But it turned out this was just a punishment from Heaven.
In his previous life, he had done wrong, so he spent his whole life repenting and grieving for that girl.
In this reborn life, he thought he could atone and touch happiness again.
But as it turned out, she had also returned with her memories. Someone who had once suffered so much, been so desperate, how could she possibly forgive him?
Could he ever have the chance to find happiness?
