Ending To Be His Seven-Year Secret Lover novel Chapter 4

If I hadn't experienced my past life, I would have told her loudly that Tyler loved me and would never accept her.

But having lived through that past life, I knew clearly Tyler had feelings for her.

They were the perfect match.

"It's no big deal. We've all seen things between you and Tyler. He obviously hasn't gotten over you. Your confession is guaranteed to succeed!" David assessed objectively.

Jessica's lips curved into a smile, and when she looked at me, her eyes gleamed with certainty.

I shrugged it off, not taking it to heart.

Two days later, David and Tyler's friends had figured out how to set up a perfect confession scene.

They all thought dangerous situations reveal people's true feelings.

So they arranged for us to go whitewater rafting.

I couldn't swim and tried to back out when we arrived. But Jessica grabbed my arm and pulled me onto the raft.

Jessica was terrified of water and immediately latched onto Tyler like a koala.

Seeing this, David quickly lid over next to me to give them space.

As we drifted downstream, Jessica practically climbed into Tyler's lap.

He didn't push her away. Instead, he gently patted her back. "I'm right here."

His voice was incredibly gentle, like he was soothing a baby.

In that moment, I remembered the beginning of my marriage in my past life.

At first, I had such high hopes in our marriage. I handled everything at home, wanting to create a warm, loving space.

But one time he was drunk, I went to pick him up and overheard him was complaining to Jessica.

He slurred: "I feel like married a maid, not a wife. She's so controlling and never shuts up. God, I hate going home."

"You're such better. You don't suffocate me, actually make me happy. I should've married you instead."

Tyler's friends had arranged flowers into a huge heart shape on the lawn.

In the middle were mementos from Jessica and Tyler's time together.

Handwritten letters, photos they'd taken together, and gifts from various holidays and birthdays.

Tyler stood there soaking wet, stunned by everything before him.Jessica came with flowers, pouring out her love for him.

A gentle breeze blew past, and ripples formed in my otherwise calm heart.

I thought, this time I'm truly letting go. They belong together.

As everyone around us started cheering them on, I also began clapping and shouting, "Get together! Say yes!"

Tyler heard my voice and looked at me in disbelief.

"Emma, what’s wrong with you? I’m your boyfriend!"
