Chapter 5
Before I could come up with an answer, Harvey said in a low voice, “Ruby now isn’t the same sister who grew up with me
anymore.
“Maybe everything changed from the moment our families and the Martin family were punished, when her parents Chester and Penelope Clark were still doing their best to help us, but Ruby took that report letter and said she wanted to cut ties with us.
“All these years, I’ve kept Chester and Penelope’s kindness in my heart, telling myself that Ruby was still young back then, and it was normal for her to be scared when faced with such situations.
“But I never expected that innocent, kind little girl had already changed completely.”
At this point, Harvey paused, then pushed me away and looked into my eyes, saying, “Violet, maybe heaven is reminding me. It gave me this chance to hear your thoughts. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how many misunderstandings there would be
between us.”
Seeing his eyes reddening, I couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Then, looking into his eyes, I asked seriously, “If you hadn’t heard my thoughts, would you choose to believe Ruby or me?”
Harvey didn’t answer immediately. He thought for a moment,

then said, “If there was proof that everything Ruby said was true, I might indeed believe her. But I would want to communicate with you.
“After all, we’re the ones who are going to spend our whole lives together. So we need to trust each other.”
Hearing his words, I couldn’t help but feel somewhat incredulous.
If I had been willing to explain to him in my previous life, would everything have been different?
Looking at him, I said with some dissatisfaction, “You can hear everything I’m thinking now, but I don’t know what you’re thinking. That’s not fair.”
Seeing me glaring angrily, Harvey chuckled softly, then raised three fingers.
He said, “So, for the sake of fairness, I promise to be honest from now on, communicate more with you, and strive to reach consensus on all matters.”
Seeing Harvey’s rare playful demeanor, I couldn’t help but laugh.
In my previous life, because of inexplicable pride, I thought couples should understand what each other was thinking.

So when things happened, I didn’t want to say anything, thinking Harvey should be able to understand me.
But I never expected that because of this, I missed the opportunity for us to communicate properly.
Then we gradually grew apart.
But fortunately, after I came back this time, everything is different.

Thinking of this, I grasped Harvey’s hand and said, “Since you’ve made such a sincere promise, I’ll choose to trust you this
once.
“However, let’s stay away from Ruby from now on. I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong to her, but she’s always stirring up trouble between us.
“No matter what her motives are, I can’t get along peacefully with someone like that anymore.”
Hearing my words, Harvey nodded quickly, saying, “Even if you hadn’t said it, I would have done the same. Over these years, I’ve almost finished repaying the debt I owed to the Clark family.
“Originally, I just considered Ruby my sister and wanted to take care of her more. But if she’s going to target the people around me, I won’t let her get away with it.”

After saying this, Harvey pulled me back into his embrace.

He used great force, as if he wanted to merge me into his body.
Then he said, “Honey, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight. Let’s not discuss these irrelevant people anymore. Let’s rest early.”
Then, before I could answer, I felt a wave of heat approaching me, and I gradually lost consciousness.
