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

“We already have, haven’t we?” Ryan smirked at me, all fake smiles, flashing his ring finger. “Hey, I’m married now. I’m not gonna stand in your way. Love’s all about feelings anyway. Uncle Ryan’s into you? Not surprised.”

Edward said in a serious tone, “Sorry, Ryan, I…”

“Uncle Ryan, you don’t have to explain. I know exactly how it feels,” Ryan said, locking eyes with Victoria. “I used to be so sure no woman would ever be good enough for me. It was all just for fun, nothing serious.”

‘Just for fun?‘ That hit me right where it hurts.

I let out a laugh and nodded. “Just for fun, huh? If you take it seriously, it’s boring anyway.”

Edward, sensing the silent war between Ryan and me, jumped in, “Okay, food’s here. Let’s just eat.”

‘Ryan must’ve gone off the deep end, or maybe he’s just acting like he’s got two personalities,‘ I thought.

I wasn’t really hungry, so I just nibbled on some of the lighter stuff.

Noticing I wasn’t eating much, Edward asked in a low voice, “Is the food not to your taste?”
