Reborn to the Day Before My Mother-in-law Cheated

Danny frowned, clearly annoyed. "I was just kidding. If it upsets you, I won't joke like that again. Divorce isn't something you should throw around lightly."

His expression didn't change until I casually mentioned that I found two unused condoms in his car. His face shifted immediately.

"That must've been from last time when I just threw them in there. Andrea, you don't actually think I'm cheating, do you?"

I didn't respond, so Danny accused me of being ridiculous. "If you can't trust me, there's nothing more to say. If you want a divorce, then go ahead."

I'd been waiting for him to say that.

Without another word, I went straight to the bedroom, packed my things, and walked out. The same thing happened in my last life, but I never got the chance to act on it. Caroline's mess derailed everything—selling the house, getting scammed, then spiraling into murder. I never had time to deal with it.

As I headed out the door, Danny yelled after me, telling me never to come crawling back. I couldn't be happier to distance myself from this family of cheating lunatics and killers. Who in their right mind would want to come back?

On my way downstairs, I ran into Caroline coming back home. She was getting off the bus, all giddy, with some pudgy middle-aged guy hanging onto her. That must be the scammer.

Even though I knew Caroline didn't have a brain, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. What kind of "rich guy" took the bus?

After they parted ways, Caroline noticed me and froze for a moment before awkwardly forcing a smile. "Andrea, where are you off to?"

"Just got something to do," I said dismissively.

She stepped in front of me, blocking my way. "You didn't see anything just now, did you?"

She stared into my eyes, trying to figure out if I was lying.

In my last life, I confronted her right here, shouting about her affair. That's what made Caroline hold a grudge and eventually led to her killing me. I'm not making that mistake this time.

I kept my face neutral. "I was on the phone with a friend. Didn't notice a thing. Was there something I was supposed to see?"

Caroline breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head. "No, nothing at all."

I watched her go upstairs, practically skipping, her light steps giving away her joy.

I couldn't help but smile to myself.

Some people were beyond saving—I just had to let them destroy themselves. Even if I did nothing, Caroline and Danny were headed straight for disaster on their own.
