The Secret to Falling in Love AgainChapter 1

On New Year's Eve, Mitchel threw Livia into the pool and she stayed there the whole night.

He questioned her, asking why she didn't climb out by herself when she had hands and feet. But he forgot that it was him who made her wear a mermaid tail, so she couldn't climb out of the pool at all.

"If it weren't for Malva kindly urging me, I wouldn't have come to see you! All you do is act jealous all the time. I don’t think you're ready to be the daughter in law of the West Family!"

Looking at his cold expression, Livia suddenly remembered the last time when she had endless arguments with Malva.

She was hysterical and Mitchel slapped her.

"Can't you stand it? Then break off the engagement!"

Livia bit my lip. "Fine, I'll break off the engagement."

Mitchel furrowed his brows, his face stern as he asked, "Are you really willing to?"

Later, his tone softened a little. "Actually, everything I said that day was out of anger. You don’t need to take it seriously..."

"I'm serious."

"You're throwing a tantrum again!"

Livia tugged at the corner of her mouth, forcing out a bitter smile.

He didn't know that just now, she had sold her soul to stay alive.
