Reset Life, Rethink Love

On the day of my birthday banquet, Grandpa asks me which of the Sterling family's daughters I want to marry.

I choose the Sterling family's fifth daughter without hesitation, which surprises my family elders.

After all, everyone in our circle knows that I, the eldest son of the Hamiltons, am deeply in love with the eldest daughter of the Sterling family, Violet, spoiling and indulging her to an outrageous degree.

In my previous life, I did marry Violet. But after only three months, I discovered that Violet was having secret meetings with my illegitimate half-brother, Sebastian Hamilton.

At the time, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at me pitifully. "Please, I'm begging you. This really was just an accident."

My heart softened, but Grandpa still found out and ordered people to send Sebastian far away to another country. Violet assumed it was my doing and hated me to the bone.

In the years that followed, the company's confidential information was stolen. I was killed in a car accident on the very day she discovered she was pregnant.

Given a second chance at life, I decide to let the lovebirds be together. But unexpectedly, after the news of my engagement is announced, Violet appears in a wedding dress, crying and begging to marry me.

After leaving the study, I saw Violet Sterling. She sat among the crowd in an elegant long gown, but her gaze kept drifting toward the door.

When her best friend, Kayla Whitmore, spotted me, she quickly nudged her arm. "Your lapdog—oh, I mean your devoted admirer is here."

"Why are you here? What do you want?" Violet glanced at me with clear disappointment in her voice.

In my previous life, I would've immediately rushed to her side to comfort her. But the image of that truck charging straight toward me was still burned into my mind, so I replied coldly, "It's my birthday banquet. Why wouldn't I be here?"

Picking up on my cold tone, Violet instantly flew into a rage.

"Nathan, what's that supposed to mean? Are you trying to pick a fight? I took time out of my busy schedule to attend your birthday banquet, and this is the attitude you give me? Don't think that just because you went running to your grandfather, our engagement is set in stone!"

Seeing us argue, Kayla immediately jumped to her defense. "Exactly! Nathan, what kind of attitude is that? You should apologize to Lettie right now. If you weren't shamelessly chasing after Lettie every day, she wouldn't even bother with you."

I was rather speechless.

"It's my banquet, and anyone who's unhappy is free to leave. As for my marriage, it'll be announced at my grandpa's 80th birthday celebration next month. Since it has nothing to do with you, I won't trouble you to worry about it."

Though I intended to marry Sophia Sterling in this lifetime, I hadn't asked for her opinion yet. Even though she was different in my previous life... I couldn't
