NovelEnglishChapter 378 Stella rolled her eyes. "What are you thinking? It's not even flirting, just truly roommates, with no... other stuff going on." They hadn't even dated, and she was already hoping Robin would marry her. No wonder Robin got freaked out and bolted. But, Stella knew she had feelings for Robin.
"Do you think marriage brings happiness?" I whispered to Stella.
Stella sat up and looked at me. "Big sis, you were the one who got married first." Her gaze madefeel a bit guilty.
"Are you happy?" she askedagain.
I thought about it. "Habit can be a terrifying thing." I stared at my phone screen, panicking when Colin hung up on me.
Am I happy in my marriage? Well...
Happiness seems to be a word that's not meant for me.
I was mysteriously murdered, mysteriously cback to life... reborn into a completely foreign woman's body. And mysteriously, the man lying next to me, whom I mistakenly thought was the murderer, was Colin.
It feels like all the tic twists of life have centered on me.

I don't know how to find happiness, how to survive.
"I've given up on love," Stella shrugged. "I've agreed to go on a blind date my mom set up, tonight at 7. I'm heading out soon." Stella had agreed to a blind date, but I could tell she wasn't thrilled.
"Going on a blind date, huh?" I wanted to dissuade her, but didn't know how.
"If I don't get married soon, my mom's going to driveto my grave," Stella sighed.
Her toxic family environment was suffocating her.

it to Such family, truly suffocating.
"I want to take a chance," Stella took a deep breath. "What if marriage i my and life, chance at life, right?" Stella smiled at me.
I didn't say anything.
Remembering what she said earlier, to trust someone unconditionally, life is a gamble, what if you win? Even if you lose, what's left to lose? Nodding firmly, I picked up my phone and called Colin again.
I wanted to take that gamble... to trust him unconditionally.
As a bet.
But Colin, still, hung up my call.
This time, I truly panicked.
He couldn't have... been deceived by Melody, could he? Stella went on her blind date.
