The Secret to Falling in Love AgainChapter 1
On New Year's Eve, Mitchel threw Livia into the pool and she stayed there the whole night.
He questioned her, asking why she didn't climb out by herself when she had hands and feet. But he forgot that it was him who made her wear a mermaid tail, so she couldn't climb out of the pool at all.
"If it weren't for Malva kindly urging me, I wouldn't have come to see you! All you do is act jealous all the time. I don’t think you're ready to be the daughter in law of the West Family!"
Looking at his cold expression, Livia suddenly remembered the last time when she had endless arguments with Malva.
She was hysterical and Mitchel slapped her.
"Can't you stand it? Then break off the engagement!"
Livia bit my lip. "Fine, I'll break off the engagement."
Mitchel furrowed his brows, his face stern as he asked, "Are you really willing to?"
Later, his tone softened a little. "Actually, everything I said that day was out of anger. You don’t need to take it seriously..."
"I'm serious."
"You're throwing a tantrum again!"
Livia tugged at the corner of her mouth, forcing out a bitter smile.
He didn't know that just now, she had sold her soul to stay alive.
Ten days later, she would forever be bound to another man’s side.

When someone pulled her out of the water, Livia’s body was frozen stiff.
Her face was as pale as paper, her lips were purple from the cold and her teeth chattered uncontrollably, making a clattering sound.
The staff hurriedly wrapped a blanket around her.
Malva, holding a glass of red wine, walked up with a calm demeanor, covering her mouth as she lightly laughed.
"Livia, you're so beautiful with such a good figure. No wonder the staff are so protective of you..."
Mitchel’s face turned cold as he ripped the blanket off her, sneering. "Livia, don't you have hands and feet? Can't you climb out by yourself? Do you know that everyone is waiting for you? You've ruined the entire New Year's Eve gathering with your antics..."
Before he could finish his words, he grabbed Livia’s hand, but when he felt the unusual coldness of her palm, his angry expression suddenly changed and his tone quivered slightly. "Are you... okay?"
