Reborn To Stay Away From Him novel Chapter 14

Josephine sat with Jesslyn in the ship’s luxury cabin, gently combing her hair.

Watching the vast sea outside, she finally felt the lightness of being able to leave this place.

These days spent with Jesslyn had filled a small part of the emptiness in Josephine’s wounded heart.

Perhaps it was because she had grown up learning to read people’s

moods.

Jesslyn was unlike children her age; instead, she was remarkably

sensible.

After meals, she would take the initiative to wash the dishes herself.

The clothes she changed out of were soaked in water by her own hand.

“Jessie, aren’t you afraid that I might be a bad person from outside and take you away?”

“My life wouldn’t get any worse, right?”

“And I can feel it–I really like you, right here.”

She pointed at her chest, turned back to look at Josephine, and smiled sweetly.

That smile pierced Josephine’s heart, and she pulled Jesslyn tightly into her arms.

“I like you too. I’ve never once thought about abandoning you.”

Kolton looked at the mother and daughter embracing inside the room, gently knocked on the door, and said, “Sorry to interrupt. I had someone prepare some food for Jessie. You can come over now.”

Josephine wiped away her tears and had Jesslyn follow the attendants to the dining room.

“Now, can we talk about us, Josie?”

Kolton’s profile was still as cold and sharp as ever. After years apart, time had left hardly any trace on his face.

Josephine leaned against the railing, letting the sea breeze wash over her, and could not help but think of how she and Kolton had first met.

She remembered that when she was young, her father went on a business trip to the south, and Josephine insisted on going with him.

That month, Josephine’s days were anything but dull.

Because she met Kolton, who was five years older than her and already her father’s right–hand man.

They often practiced shooting together at the range.

Every time, Josephine lost to him by just 0.5 points.

Until the day she had to leave with her father, Kolton stuffed his phone number and a confession letter into Josephine’s hands.

“Sorry, I already have someone I like.”

Unwilling to give up, Kolton asked her. “If one day you stop liking him, could you tell me?”

After her mother passed away. Josephine received a call on the family’s landline.

The sound of his tense breathing made her instantly guess who it was.

“I’ve already left the military and am now doing business overseas. I only just learned about your mother. If you want to leave, I can guarantee the life you want.”

By then, Josephine had already decided to marry Edmund and move

into the Oswald’s residence.

“Sorry. I told you before. I have someone I like.”

Kolton let out a sigh and said in a low voice, “I now have the ability to arrange everything you want. You can make three wishes. There’s no need to answer right away–if you have new thoughts in the future, it

won’t be too late to tell me.”

Josephine made her first wish.

“I hope that after I’m with Edmund, you won’t disturb me.”

Kolton truly kept his word.

Even Josephine herself had almost forgotten about him.

If she had not learned in her previous life that he had waited for her
