Jasper Hayes came to the orphanage to pick out a little sister. All the girls crowded around, praying to be the chosen one. I was the only one who hid in the closet and fell asleep. I thought I could escape the fate of my past life—becoming the adopted daughter of the Hayes family, and eventually, Jasper's wife. I wanted to live freely and happily this time. But when I woke up, I saw Jasper standing in front of the closet door. He smiled and asked me, "Lola, will you come home with me?" 1 When I saw Jasper's face appear before my eyes, I thought I was still stuck in that nightmare. It wasn't until the director called me with a stern face: "Lola, why are you sleeping in here?" Only then did I sober up, realizing that everything in front of me was not a dream. Seeing me frozen in place, the director reached out and pulled me out of the closet. She straightened my collar and pushed me in front of the Hayes couple: "You fell asleep. Master Hayes told us not to wake you." "Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time." Jasper, who was named, was standing in front of his parents with a faint smile on his face, looking at me. At this moment, he was somewhat different from the Jasper in my memory who was always cold to me. He greeted me proactively: "Hello, Lola." I don't know why, but hearing my name from his mouth felt indescribably weird. I frowned and looked away, avoiding his gaze. But I was wondering in my heart, they could have chosen anyone else, why did they have to wait for me? "Waiting for me? For what?" The director bent down to explain to me: "They want to adopt you. Lola, you're going to have a home, parents, and a brother." The usually unsmiling director rarely smiled at me at this moment. I guess she was happy for me. For children in the orphanage, being adopted is lucky. But the director didn't know that I was reborn. I knew long ago that Jasper would come to the orphanage today to pick a sister, so I deliberately hid in the closet. "Lola, will you come home with us?" Mrs. Hayes held my hand and said gently, "Jasper has always wanted a sister. You can be his sister from now on." This scene was exactly the same as in my previous life. Memories of my past life flashed through my mind like a slideshow. I immediately withdrew my hand and looked up at the director: "Director, I don't want to be adopted by them." As soon as the words came out, everyone was surprised. The one with the strongest reaction was Jasper. He frowned and asked me, "Why?" "Because I don't want to be your sister." Even though I rejected him, there was no trace of anger on Jasper's face. Instead, his tone became gentler, with a hint of imperceptible indulgence. "Then don't be my sister. Just come back to the Hayes house with me and live together, okay?" The director tugged at my sleeve secretly, but still couldn't stop me from rejecting Jasper again. "No." I thought Jasper would give up. But when the director asked the Hayes couple if they wanted to pick another girl, Jasper suddenly said loudly: "Mom, I just want her." He said, "Only she looks most like my sister." 2 In my last life, Jasper chose me among many girls because I looked somewhat similar to his late sister. At that time, knowing I was chosen, I felt that God really favored me. I was taken back to the Hayes family, renamed Lola Hayes. And I had my own room in the huge villa. Even if that room didn't truly belong to me, I was satisfied. Mrs. Hayes said: "Children from orphanages are inevitably petty and can't present themselves well." So I changed my old habits and became less and less like myself. Mrs. Hayes was strict with me. I had to practice piano for more than twelve hours a day. Even though the teacher explicitly said I had no talent for learning piano, Mrs. Hayes still accompanied me to practice every day. But some things cannot be forced. "I'm sorry, Mom, I still can't play well." Every time I apologized, Mrs. Hayes would look at me even more dotingly and comfort me. "It's okay, as long as Lola works hard, you will be able to play well in the future." Later I learned that playing the piano was the hobby of Mrs. Hayes' deceased daughter. Mrs. Hayes treated me like this just to find the shadow of another person in me. But I didn't care. A fish lacking water doesn't care if the water it gets is clean; it just needs to survive. Water to fish, love to me. Having it is enough. I studied piano harder and tried harder to please Mrs. Hayes. We looked more and more like a real mother and daughter. Until Jasper's engagement party, he was drugged, and I happened to break into his room. Mr. Hayes fainted from anger when he saw me and Jasper. Mrs. Hayes slapped me in the face: "I shouldn't have brought you to the Hayes family in the first place." Jasper looked at me silently, with emotions in his eyes that I couldn't understand. But I think he probably regretted it too. Regretted choosing me as his sister in the beginning. "I don't know what happened. I didn't drug my brother." I tried hard to explain for myself, but no one believed me. So much so that later, whenever Jasper betrayed me and our marriage countless times, he would say: "You didn't hesitate to drug me to marry your own brother. All this now is your retribution." Jasper hated me. So after marriage, he always liked to slap my face in public and embarrass me. Many people in our circle were betting on how long my marriage with him would last. "At most a year. Once the child is born, Jasper will kick her out." Unfortunately, the result surprised everyone. Jasper and I were entangled for nineteen years. Even after I died, the words "Wife of Jasper Hayes" were engraved on my tombstone. "Lola, tell me, why don't you want to be adopted by the Hayes family?" After Jasper left with his parents, the director called me to the office. I was silent for a long time before making up a random reason: "I don't want to leave you and everyone else." The director sighed and advised me to think it over. I knew she meant well and hoped I would live a good life in the future. But I didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, nor did I want to have anything to do with Jasper anymore. However, a fire that night shattered all my plans. 3 "Did you set the fire?" In the hospital, I looked at Jasper coldly and questioned him. "No." Jasper hurriedly explained: "The fire department has found out that it was caused by aging wiring." After speaking, he laughed self-deprecatingly. "Lola, you think too badly of me." I had only met him two or three times in this life, but Jasper's attitude towards me had an indescribable familiarity. "I just want to help you." "As long as you agree to come home with me, I will pay all the treatment costs for the director." The orphanage caught fire last night, and the director was severely burned trying to save us. I snorted coldly and mocked: "Taking advantage of someone's danger, do you count as a good person?" Jasper didn't explain anything for himself, only said: "Lola, it doesn't matter if you don't want to be my sister." "You can just be fostered in the Hayes family." He guided me patiently and compromised repeatedly. But I was even more curious: "Why do you insist on me going back to the Hayes family with you?" Jasper said: "Because my mom misses my sister very much these days, and you look very much like my sister." "I want to take you home to accompany her." I was skeptical about his words, after all, Jasper was too abnormal towards me. I asked him: "Is that all?" Jasper hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That's all." Although I didn't want to get involved with Jasper, the director was still lying in the hospital bed. On the way back to the Hayes house, Jasper kept talking to me, but I remained silent. He probably knew he was annoying, so he softened his tone to make up for it. "The Hayes family can provide you with better conditions. No matter what, it's better than being in the orphanage." "Lola, don't blame me. I'm doing this for your own good." I'm doing this for your own good... Jasper in my past life also said this sentence. Jasper hated me for most of his life. Only when I was dying did his attitude towards me soften a bit. But by then, I was beyond cure, with only a kitten to accompany me every day. On a whim, Jasper suddenly came back to the villa to see me and had the cat I raised for half a year thrown away. I asked him: "Why?" He looked at me askance then and also said: "I'm doing this for your own good." At that time I knew, him saying it was for my own good didn't mean he really wanted what was best for me. This sentence was just an excuse for him to satisfy his selfishness and desire for control. Or perhaps it was another way for him to torture me. After all, he was always like this. Whatever I liked, he destroyed. ... As soon as the car arrived at the Hayes home, I saw Mrs. Hayes standing at the villa door. Jasper told her in advance that he would bring me back. So she had the room on the second floor cleaned up early. "Lola, this is your room from now on." Mrs. Hayes held my hand affectionately: "Do you like it?" I looked down at the hand held by Mrs. Hayes, stunned for a moment, then withdrew it. I was no longer the Lola who longed for motherly love in my previous life. "Mrs. Hayes, this is your biological daughter's room, right?" "There are many of her old things in the room, and you have preserved them very well." "I can tell you cherish these things very much." "If I live in this room, you will definitely be sad if I accidentally break these things." "I see there is a guest room downstairs. I'll live in the guest room." Mrs. Hayes looked at me and wanted to say something: "But..." But was interrupted by Jasper: "Mom." "Lola wants to live downstairs. Ask the maid to tidy it up." I looked at Jasper who spoke for me. He probably didn't know that the bigger reason I didn't want to live on the second floor was actually because his bedroom was right next door. In my past life, before Jasper got engaged, we got along harmoniously. Even during adolescence, when Mrs. Hayes asked me "What kind of boys does Lola like?" I looked at Jasper who just came back from running and smiled: "I like someone like brother." This unintentional joke became the testimony of me drugging my own brother many years later. Every time I explained for myself: "I didn't drug you." Jasper would choke my neck and refute me: "You said you liked me when you were sixteen." "Liked me for so many years, and finally even used means like drugging to force me to marry you. Why don't you dare to admit it now?" 4 Probably because I returned to this villa, I dreamt of things from my past life at night. During the last period of my life, the doctor said: "It's not good for you to stay alone all day like this. Call your family and friends to accompany you more." "I have no family." As for friends... My best friend before was Jasper's fiancée, named Serena Xu. In the fifth year of my marriage with Jasper, Serena returned to the country. Jasper went to pick her up at the airport personally and organized a welcome party for her. Someone deliberately recorded a video of the party and sent it to me—the two sitting in a corner, kissing passionately. A video of only a few seconds, I watched repeatedly all night. It was also that night that I made up my mind to give up the second child of Jasper and me and propose a divorce to him. He asked me: "The reason?" I showed him that video. "Jasper, I know you were forced to marry me back then." "But now that Serena is back, and it seems she has forgiven you, let's divorce and go our separate ways." Actually, before this, I had proposed divorce to Jasper many times. But I was rejected by him every time. I thought, with Serena back, he would agree this time. But Jasper still tore up the divorce agreement I prepared and deleted the video on my phone. ... "Lola? Lola?" I woke up suddenly and slapped Jasper in the face. The teenage Jasper looked at me, showing a wronged look in his eyes. "I heard you crying outside the door, so I came in to check." After speaking, he turned and walked out. He turned back at the door and said: "Get up quickly for breakfast, you'll be late for school." Just like in my previous life, the Hayes family transferred me to Jasper's school. Seeing me follow him into the classroom. Someone asked him: "Jasper, who is she?" Jasper introduced me to them: "Her name is Lola, currently fostering in my home." In a trance, I thought of my past life. Before the drugging incident, when Jasper introduced me to people, he always said: "My sister Lola." I looked at Jasper, who was a step away from me, and suddenly realized that he seemed different from the Jasper in my memory. Neither like the teenage Jasper in the past life, nor like the Jasper who always retaliated and tortured me later. My heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly thought of something. "Jasper." "Jas." Just as I stopped Jasper and was about to ask my doubt, someone called him at the same time as me. Jasper glanced at me, then looked up behind me. I also turned back. The person standing at the classroom door calling him was Serena. "Jas, wait for me after school, I have something to tell you." After speaking, Serena noticed me standing next to Jasper. Her eyes were not friendly. She looked me up and down as if sizing me up: "You are the girl fostering in the Hayes family?" After all, she was my best friend in my past life. Almost the moment Serena looked at me, I felt her obvious hostility towards me. This was completely different from the past life. In the past life, after knowing I was Jasper's sister, Serena affectionately held my arm, called me Lola, and brought me into her social circle. But now, her attitude towards me was very similar to the last time I saw her in the past life. That meeting was very unpleasant. I asked her: "The surveillance showed that only you and I entered Jasper's room that day. I didn't drug him, so it was you, right?" At that time, I couldn't figure it out. She liked Jasper so much, why did she ruin their engagement party. "Her name is Lola," Jasper answered for me. Serena looked at me, gave a perfunctory smile, and said nothing more. Later, sitting in my seat, I sensed Serena looking back at me frequently. Even though I felt strange in my heart, I had to ignore her, withdraw my gaze, and force myself to listen to the class carefully.
