After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Chapter 490

Tears are a weapon for women–use them once in a while and they work, but if you rely on them all the time, they lose their edge.

All I wanted after getting a second shot at life was to coast along, get rich, and enjoy the good times. Instead, I somehow got mixed up with this overbearing man, and now I have to constantly scheme and play games just to survive. Honestly, it just feels unfair.

If I’d known things would get this rough, I should’ve just held onto the divorce money Jared gave me and gone off to enjoy life, traveling the world without a care. Wouldn’t that have been so much better?

Sigh, but life never gives you a heads–up…

“Sorry,” Edward said out of the blue, his voice softer than before. “Guess you were right. I haven’t really treated you with respect.”

“Exactly,” I said, biting my lip, not backing down.

Edward let out an exasperated laugh, clearly annoyed. “I’ve never felt sorry for a woman just because she cried. Not even my ex- wife ever made me feel that way. Don’t push your luck.”

“Then your ex–wife divorcing you was the smartest move she ever made,” I retorted bluntly.

Edward’s face turned even darker, and my heart skipped a beat.

‘Why can’t I ever keep my mouth shut when I should?‘ I scolded myself.

Edward seemed to take a deep breath, struggling to keep his temper, then let out a cold laugh. “If I hadn’t gotten divorced, how else would I get the chance to marry another woman?”

The moment he said “marry,” I tensed up, instantly dropping my gaze to the floor and keeping my mouth shut, not daring to say a single word.
