Is This Regret?

The first thing Stella Judd did after she was reborn was kneel in front of her parents to beg sincerely, "Mom, Dad, if I have to marry into the Chilton family, I want to marry Eric!"

Her parents were surprised.

"Don't you like Noel, Stella? Don't you remember that Eric is Noel's uncle?"

Something flashed across Stella's eyes as she was reminded of a memory. She spoke sadly, "I know what will happen if I continue liking Noel. I can't ever be with him.

Her phone on the table suddenly buzzed.

"Hey, come over."

Noel had sent her a message asking to meet up. A bar's address was attached to it.

Stella thought it was a good opportunity to inform Noel about her request to marry another man. She left immediately to clear things up with him.
