Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2382

In the original world, that version of Adam wasn't so different.

He was still raised as the heir, shaped by expectations; still the one who worried over a younger brother chasing a dream of being a singer; still the one who had to shoulder the company, care for his siblings, and walk the long path from forced maturity to true adulthood.

But there was one thing that set them apart—the original him met her.

In that world, her name was Celeste Wright. Just like how she had once appeared so inexplicably in his life, she had shown up just as suddenly in that life.

Only this time, she chased after the other him with unguarded warmth and fierce devotion.

She never made the first move in the alternate world. But in that dream, the version of her who ran after his other self was radiant and unafraid.

In watching her, he felt like he had seen the real her for the first time.

At first, he didn't understand why things played out so differently, or why the woman who always avoided him in reality would chase after "him" in the dream.

That was until the dream fast-forwarded, and he saw the other version of himself end up with her.

As the next head of the Jensen family, the original Adam had gone to great lengths to remove every possible obstacle standing between her and that future.

She, a woman with no background or backing, married into one of the most powerful households.

Still, thanks to his unwavering protection and regard, not once was she mistreated—not that she ever let herself be bullied anyway.

Anyone who dared to show her an ugly face, she returned it without flinching. Meanwhile, all he ever needed to do was be there to clean up the mess if she needed him to.

He didn't know why, but as she watched Thalia in that dream, so bright, fierce, and unrestrained, he couldn't shake the feeling that that was who she was always meant to be.

Not the girl who hid behind the bushes and disappeared, but someone loud, proud, and full of passion.

For the longest time, Adam thought that dream was just a figment of his imagination. Until… He saw the birth of their first child.

Thalia was the first to sense it, and without hesitation, she went after their daughter alone.

That was when Adam finally realized she wasn't just any ordinary woman.

Soon after, she was swept away into the alternate world, a parallel time and space where she would spend 18 long, aching years separated from everyone she loved alone.

He had believed that everything was just part of a dream. But it wasn't. Those memories, vivid and visceral, were his truth.

When Thalia said he looked exactly like her late husband, it wasn't entirely a lie. She did have a husband who looked just like him, but that man lived in another world.

She had, indeed, been watching him in secret, but not for who he was, but her husband from the original world.

As for the two years he lost all contact with her, he saw, through the eyes of the original Adam, that they had finally reunited in the other world.

Their daughter, Shannon, had brought her back home.
