On Our Wedding Day, He Married Someone Else Chapter 10

The 18-year-old Silas sacrificed himself to bring me back to the past.

I returned to when I was 18.

But he was gone forever.

I didn’t cry or hesitate.

I didn’t need anyone to protect me anymore.

Only I could keep myself safe.

This time, when kids told me to clean the bathroom, I didn’t back down.

I dumped a trash can over the ringleader’s head.

“Why me every time?”

“From now on, we rotate. One day each. Any objections?”

The kids who’d bullied me were terrified.

“We’ll do what you say.”

This time, when the coach lured me to the storage closet, I didn’t obey in fear.

I screamed loud enough for the on-duty teacher to hear.

I testified clearly, showed no mercy, and put that monster in prison.

This time, I didn’t choose a cheap college because I had no money.

I got into Havendale University, majoring in law.

With my help, Mom divorced Dad early.

We got a large settlement.

We never struggled with money like we did in our past lives.

I rented a small apartment near campus and moved Mom in with me.

I studied during the day, while she did group dances and gentle workouts at the nearby park.

At night, Mom cooked a big dinner for me.

Her mood got better and better. She smiled more.

Slowly but surely, she no longer needed medication.

Turns out love is the only cure for depression.

After graduation, I joined Shaw & Hale Law Firm.

I had tons of cases, busy every single day.

Mom worried I worked too hard and suggested an easier office job.

I smiled and refused.

The work was busy, but it felt meaningful and full.

In the blink of an eye, I turned 28 again.

I bought a small house in the upstate suburbs.

Mom filled the yard with flowers.

Breezes blew, waves of blossoms blooming.

At 28, I keep pushing forward through every storm.

“Corinne, dinner’s ready! I made your favorite sweet-glazed eggs.”

I smiled and hurried to get two sets of dishes.

It was another perfect day.
