Chapter 4

Over the next few days, I didn't contact Noah, and he didn't contact me either.

Instead, Sofia came looking for me.

When she came, both Daniel and I were at my place.

"So, what do you want?" Faced with Daniel's question, Sofia looked at me with feigned embarrassment. "Daniel, you know that Noah and I were each other's first love, and I'm his fated mate. Although we've been on and off for several years, we still have feelings for each other."

"Breaking up with him after our fight was my fault. This time I want to confess to him and get back together. Can you help me?"

If I hadn't experienced my previous life, I would have loudly told them that Noah liked me.

But precisely because I'd lived through that past life, I clearly understood that Noah had her in his heart.

They were the ones truly meant for each other.

"Sure, that's easy! We've all seen what's between you and Noah. He obviously hasn't let you go. If you confess, it'll definitely work!" Daniel gave his objective assessment.

A smile appeared at the corner of Sofia's mouth. When she looked at me, her eyes held a determined gleam.

I was indifferent and didn't take it to heart.

Two days later, Daniel and Noah's friends had planned how to set up the confession scene.

They arranged for everyone to go to Moonlight Plaza to watch the New Moon Festival's wizard performance.

When we arrived at the destination, there was a large crowd. I didn't like crowded places, so I thought I'd wait on the side.

But Sofia wouldn't let me go. As the crowd surged, she pulled me into the throng.

Soon, we made it to the front row where we could clearly see the performance.

As the wizard performance began, magical sparks flew everywhere.

Sofia, standing close, was startled by the flying sparks and instinctively moved toward Noah.

Noah saw she was genuinely frightened. A smile appeared in his eyes as he tightly held her hand.

In that moment, I remembered the early days after our marriage in my previous life.

At that time, I was full of hope for marriage. I personally handled all the big and small matters at home, wanting him to feel the warmth of home.

But once, when he got drunk and I went to pick him up.

I heard him complaining to Sofia, saying groggily, "I feel like I didn't marry a wife, but got myself a mom. She manages everything about me. So annoying."

"You're better. You do everything with proper boundaries and don't make me feel suffocated."

Suddenly, perhaps because the plaza was close to the forest, a crazed tiger jumped out. The surrounding crowd screamed and scattered.

This successfully pulled me back from my thoughts.

But it was too late. The tiger had already run to my side.

I was about to pull Daniel back when someone pushed me hard.

Before I could react, I had already crossed the safety barrier.

Shouts and scolding voices gathered around me.

Just then, an agile figure ran through the chaotic crowd.

In that moment, I felt a glimmer of hope, imagining Noah running toward me.

But in the next second, he ran toward Sofia, who had also crossed the barrier, without hesitation and held her protectively in his arms.

Emma, what exactly are you hoping for?

I wanted to laugh but couldn't. I only felt the irony.

Fortunately, Daniel ran over in time and helped me, with my twisted ankle, slowly retreat from the area.

After Noah protected Sofia, he subdued the crazed tiger.

When he was dealing with the wolf council personnel who arrived, Daniel and I emerged from the crowd. Daniel said, "The confession scene is ready. Let's go watch the excitement."

He pulled me to the plaza entrance.

Noah's friends had hung heart-shaped colored lights on the Destiny Tree at the entrance, mixed with evidence of Noah and Sofia's past relationship.

There were love letters Sofia had written, photos they'd taken together...

Sofia held Noah's favorite pink roses and passionately declared her love for him.

Noah looked at the scene before him, dumbfounded.

A breeze happened to blow by, stirring ripples in my calm heart.

I thought the wind was bearing witness to their love.

Hearing the noise around me, I also started clapping and shouting, "Say yes, say yes!"

Hearing my voice, Noah looked at me with complete shock.

"Emma, are you crazy? I'm your boyfriend!"
