Chapter 40 

Frederic had never talked to me nicely, let alone humbly

After what happened in my previous life, I finally realized I wasn’t the right one for him

But that wasn’t the case for Ruben. He hadn’t been reborn. Now that Emilia wanted to break up with him so soon, he didn’t take it well

He drank nonstop to get drunk

Sitting beside him, I watched sympathetically and wanted to persuade him to accept it. Otherwise, he’d become Frederic’s target and end up more miserably. But I was also upset How could Frederic separate them so easily

Sylvia, I love her so much. My family isn’t rich. I know I’m not good enough for her, but I’ll work hardRuben got tipsy

I nodded. Yeah, I know.” 

She had many suitors, but she chose me. I was excited and swore I’d make her happy. Butbut why has she changed? What should I do? I’m heartbrokenRuben said, his eyes red

He meant to refill his glass again. Feeling bad for him, I put my hand on his to stop him. Don’t be sad. What if she hasn’t? Think about it. The message was from a pursuer of hers. He hasn’t won her heart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked for a chance, right?” 

Ruben shook his head with a bitter smile. It’s different this time. If it were before, she’d have told me about it frankly and said it was nothing.” 

Maybe she had a reason and didn’t know how to tell you. I’ll have dinner with her and talk to her.I tried to comfort him

Thanks, Sylvia.He forced a smile

Don’t mention it. We’re friends!I patted him on the shoulder

After a while, Ruben was too drunk to keep his eyes open. Trying to support him while leaving the club, I almost fell to the floor with him

Luckily, rooms were available at Glitter Club. I got one upstairs and asked a waiter to help me take Ruben to the room. I was leaving after settling him down when his phone rang

It was a call from Emilia, so I answered his phone

Ruben, where are you?she asked worriedly

Emilia, it’s me. Ruben is at Glitter Club. You can come and find him,I said

Sylvia? Why are youEmilia was confused

I told her what happened. After a while of silence, she said, It was all my fault. I’ve blacklisted that man. I’ll get a new phone number tomorrow!” 

I thought, Silly girl, it’s useless. Frederic will still find you even if you get a new identity.” 

I asked, Emilia, who was that man? What’s his name? Can you tell me?” 

After a moment of hesitation, Emilia answered, Sylvia, wait for me. We’ll talk when I get there.” 

I waited for her patiently and texted Frederic, reminding him that it 

would be my father’s birthday in two days. According to our traditions, he should go to my parentsplace with me

Before long, Emilia got to the club. Seeing how drunk Ruben was, she was sad. I comforted her. She finally calmed down and said, Sylvia, I can’t tell you who the man was. I can only tell you that he’s married and I want nothing to do with him.” 

Emilia’s eyes were red and swollen. She must’ve been crying lately

I asked, How do you know he’s married? Did you run a background check on him?”
