---- Chapter 6 "Dad, need this?" l imitated the people on TV to make him happy, only to find him angrier. "What's wrong?" I stopped joking around. "Did you argue with Mom again?" We had been neighbors with the Stanes for years, and this was the first time my dad yelled at them. "your mom heard that the Stanes' company hasn't been doing too well lately, so she went over to ask them whether they needed any help. "But do you know what James said?" I quietly waited for him to continue, only to see him get so angry that his face turned red. "That old fart actually asked me to convince you to marry Hedgar!" ---- I was stunned. James was far too shameless! "He even said that they were in the wrong for bringing up Hedgar to be so immature and that he can tell that you like her. If so, why didn't they stand up for you when Hedgar said all those things about you?" I sneered. So, this was what they were planning. "We didn't bring you up so that you'd bea disfigured woman's slave! If she's acting like this now, who knows what temper tantrums she'll throw every day in the future!" As he spoke, I noticed my father sneakily observing my reaction. When he saw that I was not showing any reaction, he whispered, "But honestly, Henry, you grew up together. Do you still..." ---- I stuffed the money into his hands. "Don't even think about it!" God gave me another chance, and I was not going to let my previous life repeat itself. As for the Stanes, they could destroy themselves for all I cared. In my previous life, there was a fall out I had with Hedgar after I got drunk one time. At that time, I thought that she had given up on Leon. It had been half a year since our marriage, and she had invited me to have dinner with her, which was something that rarely happened. After dinner, I popped open a bottle of wine. When I was tipsy, I curled up on the couch and sobbed. I was in my twenties. I was supposed to be at the prime of my life, but I was disfigured.
