After dying with a heart full of regret, Mason unexpectedly reincarnated.
He found himself back on the day of Ulrica’s accident.
Gazing at Erica, who was clutching her chest just as she had in the past, Mason felt a mix of emotions.
“Mason, I feel so awful,” she said. “.
He didn’t respond, instead focusing all his worry on Ulrica, fearing for her safety.
“Rica, relax. You and the baby will be fine.”

With Mason’s comforting words, Ulrica quickly
calmed down.
This time, Mason paid little attention to Erica, offering only a few perfunctory remarks before turning his full attention to Ulrica.
In this new life, he vowed to cherish her, ensuring he wouldn’t face the same fate of a broken family.
Without Mason’s indecision, the rescue
proceeded even faster than before. By the time Erica was freed, Mason was nowhere to be seen.
She finally understood–he had fallen for someone else and no longer loved her.
In the ambulance, Mason kissed Ulrica’s forehead, his face beaming with contentment.

“Rica, I’m so glad you still care for me.”
“Silly, you didn’t do anything wrong. Why wouldn’t I care for you?”
Mason, remembering Ulrica’s heartlessness in their previous life, held her hand tightly, not wanting to let go.
“Mason, you’re hurting me.”
“Rica, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. I just care so much about you.”
The more Ulrica looked at Mason, the more she sensed something was off. This Mason, so anxious and unsettled, bore little resemblance to his former confident self.

“Mason, are you hiding something from me?”
Mason’s heart skipped a beat, fearing Ulrica might really notice something amiss. Tenderly stroking her head, he confessed without revealing too much:
“Rica, the girl trapped in the elevator with you was my ex–girlfriend Erica, the one my cousin mentioned as the runaway bride.”
Seeing Ulrica remain silent, Mason, recalling the past, swore earnestly, “Rica, I only love you. now. There’s no lingering affection for her.”
Ulrica still said nothing, making Mason increasingly anxious.
After a long while, she burst into laughter, her eyes twinkling as she looked at Mason, leaving

him entranced.
How many years had it been since he last saw that smile in their past life?
“But it seems she still has feelings for you,” Ulrica remarked.
Ulrica wasn’t naive; the girl’s inexplicable looks made it clear that there was a complicated story between the two.
“But I only love you now.” Living a second life, Mason understood exactly what Ulrica needed.
Pregnancy made women more sensitive, and if he hadn’t broken her heart, she wouldn’t have been so unyielding.
So now, he wouldn’t hold back his love for her.

“Mason, you could hardly utter a simple sweet word before. Now, you’re quite the smooth
talker.”
“I think it’s just right!”
And so, time passed amidst their laughter and banter.
