After My Groom Adopted Her Child, I Vanished

Reborn into this world, I've managed to avoid any encounters with Kolton Long this time around.

When he got transferred to the Southern Military District, I decided to apply to the University of Chicago instead.

He had submitted our marriage paperwork, but I secretly retrieved it.

He bought a house for us down there, so I chose to settle in the north.

All of this because, in a previous life, his true love dedicated her life to him, living alone. He felt he owed her and quietly adopted a child with her.

In our later years, even our child was touched by their deep bond and became part of their family.

After pulling back the marriage paperwork, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. No one knew I had been given a second chance at life.

At the last moment, just as the marriage certificate was about to be finalized, I rushed over and reclaimed it under the pretense of incorrect family information.

Tucker Robertson, the clerk, looked quite puzzled: "You both came in this morning to submit it, and now you're here to take it back this afternoon? You don't want to go through with it?"

Not wanting to complicate things further, I shook my head and said, "There was a mistake in the details. I'll fix it and bring it back."

Relieved, Tucker told me to make the corrections and submit it as soon as possible.

I nodded. Once I left, I tossed the marriage paperwork directly into the trash bin.

In this lifetime, Kolton and I are never getting married.
