But privately, she often messaged me to complain about her husband and mother-in-law.

In the previous life, right after Pedro hit Hollie, she complained to me.

I advised her that she couldn't be with a man who hit a woman. After all, it was a matter of principle.

But she said and smiled sweetly, [It's normal for couples to have a playful fight. You wouldn't understand us if you weren't in a relationship. I hit him too. Every time he hits me, he kneels and apologizes to me.]

In this life, she complained to me again that Pedro hit her. I replied, [No couple doesn't fight in this world. Fighting at the beginning and making up at the end is a common thing. It shows that there is passion between you.]

She complained to me that Pedro didn't come home every day.

Her mother-in-law said that all men were like this. After all, they were all busy with work to earn money and support the family.

I replied, [Your mother-in-law is right.]

She complained again, saying that she was pregnant, and her mother-in-law made her do housework, laundry, and cooking every day.

When she asked Pedro to do housework, her mother-in-law got angry, saying that these were women's chores. Men doing these things were useless and would be laughed at.

I gave her a thumbs up.

Gradually, she complained more. I would reply to her every two or three days.

I answered her in a perfunctory manner. Then she didn't chat with me much anymore.

"In this life, she can't gain any emotional value from me again."

I kept my distance from Aleah deliberately, fearing that I would be implicated once an accident happened.

I vaguely noticed that Jessa seemed to be distancing herself from Aleah as well.

Normally, she didn't reply to any of Aleah's messages from the group chat.

"It's good for her to stay away from these people who tend to play like saints and who are obsessed with love."

In my previous life, when I was murdered, she was the only one shouting for security, calling the police, and calling 911.

In this life, I just hoped that when these people, who tended to play like saints and who were obsessed with love, died, Jessa and I wouldn't be implicated.
