Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 37: An Old Dream

Ewan was dreaming.

He saw his young self happily hopping along a grassy path, toward a young girl, of the same age with him.

The young girl was squatting close to a river, throwing small stones into the calm water body, unaware of his approach.

When he noted that the girl was oblivious of his presence, he stopped hopping, and tiptoed toward her.

Standing right behind her, he covered her eyes with his small palms.

The girl didn’t shriek as he had presumed. Rather, she smiled and called his name. ’Ewan.’

He sighed dramatically, and dropped his hands.

’What took you so long?’ The girl turned to face him.

Ewan was startled by her blurred face.

Yet he heard himself speaking. ’Mother sent me on an errand. I’m sorry.’

’It’s okay. You are here now. Do you want to play?’

Young Ewan smiled widely, bobbing his head. ’It’s a pleasure, Princess...’

He bowed his head, causing the young girl to laugh, before getting on her feet.

As he played with the girl, he noted their ages to be around twelve or thirteen years old.

The sound of her laughter brought joy to his younger self.

At the moment, they were dancing without music. He was holding her hand up, and causing her to swirl as they watched in movies.

As they laughed and danced around, they didn’t take notice of their distance to the river.

He was swirling the girl, turning with her, when all of a sudden, his feet hit a large stone.

Before he knew what was happening, he was falling into the river headlong.

As he struggled to live, he heard the girl shout in fear and panic, heard her sobs when no one came to their aid thereafter.

She knew he couldn’t swim.

He was about to shut his eyes, about to welcome death, when he heard a splash.

The girl had jumped in to save him!

Yet he knew she also couldn’t swim.

He opened his mouth to tell her away, but swallowed water instead.

He felt her grab his clothes, and pull him toward the shore.
