Lauren did not give him a chance to speak and continued in a weak voice, "You don't need to feel guilty or anything. You don't
have to take a woman liketo heart."
Her words were self-deprecating.
"Lauren..."
"Even if you do want to break your promise to your wife, you can easily find someone more suitable for you since you're an
important man. I'm sure it won't be me. In the eyes of you and your wife, I'm just a shameless, lowly socialite. I'm not good

"It's not like that. Please don't misunderstand me," Oliver seemed anxious, and took a step forward to explain.
Lauren raised her hand to stop him, "You don't need to explain anything. Your words and actions have already said it all. I'm sure
that I'm still smart enough to figure out what you want. Your wife is formidable. She triumphed overeven in death. She's

"Givea chance to take care of you. You've always been the one who took care of me. Don't treatlike this. You might hate
me, but givea chance.”

It was hard to imagine that Oliver, who was a prominent figure that many people admired, would be so humble at this moment.
The Oliver | knew had always been
aloof and would look down on everyone else with cold detachment. In the business world, everyone saw him as a chance to
increase their wealth. He rarely spoke and merely observed those who fawned over him in disdain.
"Don't puton the spot. Why would | possibly give you a chance? You've taken back everything | could ever have. Why are
you here now, askingthis?" Lauren's tone was resolute.
Lauren put away her sorrowful smile
and looked up at the ceiling. She
said softly, "I hope I'll have my own

It sounded like she was making a wish for herself.
She turned to face Oliver. "I don't want to be haunted by curses until | die, Oliver. | want to live my own life. | want true
