Chapter 5

“You’re really going to sleep with him after marrying him? Just thinking about all the messy things he’s done with so many women before. Doesn't that disgust you?”

I couldn’t help but sneer in return. “I maybe worry about your own man instead.”

Yosef ruined his own reputation on purpose just to fend off unwanted admirers.

He might have a bad name, but in his whole life, he’s never touched another woman.

But Jude was not like that.

In our previous life, it seemed like we were married for sixty years. But ever since I gave birth to our pair of children, we began living separately.

He could never forget Femma, his so-called first love. Every few days, he would bring home young girls who looked like her to spend the night. He even flirted in front of me on purpose.

To me, there was nothing filthier than Jude.

Suddenly, I had a wicked impulse. I lowered my voice and leaned in toward Femma.

“Femma, the man beside you is just someone I’ve already played with. If you don’t believe me, there’s a red birthmark on his right thigh. I’ve seen it countless times. You’re treating a rotten cucumber I’ve already used as a treasure, don’t you find it disgusting?”

After saying that, I walked away coldly.

Femma’s face instantly turned pale. Furious, she stomped her foot and started arguing with Jude.

“Jude, did you lie to me? How does she know you have a birthmark on your thigh? Did you already sleep with her and keep it from me?”

Jude’s face darkened and he flusteredly tried to explain.

“No, that was from the previous life… I know you won’t believe me if I say that. Femma, trust me. I swear I never touched her…”

Watching them argue louder and louder, nearly breaking into a fight, I couldn’t help but laugh.

‘Serves you right for badmouthing Yosef. It’s karma!’

Luckily, my dad wasn’t home. Once I got my ID, I slipped out quickly.

Before leaving, I didn’t forget to pick up a bucket of cold water and dump it on Femma.

Seeing her drenched like a drowned rat, I smiled gently.

“My good little sister, now I forgive you.”

“You stop right there!” With a darkened face, Jude chased after me.

For the first time, he left Femma behind and ran after me instead.

“Leona, are you really sure about this? Don’t think you can play hard to get and make me change my mind. I’ve already decided, in this lifetime, the only person I want to marry is Femma. No one can replace her.”

I gave a faint smile and turned to offer my blessing.

“Then I wish you two a happy marriage and a lifetime together. Hurry back to your wife. Stop following me.”

Jude’s face darkened, but he still stared at me.

“Leona, I already told you, stop playing games. Femma is pure and kind, not as scheming as you. I’m warning you, don’t hurt her. Even though we were married for decades in our last life, you should know I never loved you, so I advise you to…”

“Got it.” I waved him off, a little impatient. “If you’re so worried, I’ll leave Bostom with Yosef in the future. You’ll never see us again.”

There was a moment of silence behind me, but I couldn’t be bothered to argue with him anymore.

My mind was filled with the image of going to register the marriage with Yosef and just thinking about it made my steps feel lighter.

As soon as I ran out of the Johnson residence, I heard two honks behind me.

The car window quickly rolled down. It really was Yosef who had come to pick me up.

“Honey, get in the car.”

I smiled and got into the passenger seat. “Why are you here? I thought you hadn’t finished handling things at the company.”
