“Since I’ve been reborn, Grace, in this life, I will definitely change your fate!” Henry Carter clenched his fists.
Letting out a long breath, he began to sort through his memories. After all, a hundred years had passed, and now reborn, many memories were no longer so clear.
About half an hour later, finally, all his memories had come together.
First, himself.
His name was Henry Carter, born into an ordinary working-class family in Chengfeng City. Although not wealthy, his parents loved him, and the three of them were very happy together.
However, a year ago, during the first semester of his senior year in high school, he suddenly received news one day that his parents had been in a car accident and both had died.
From that day on, he became an orphan, and his whole spirit collapsed. As a result, during the second semester of his senior year, he muddled through every day, and his grades dropped from the top ten in the school to three or four hundredth place.
Because of this, he scored less than 500 on the college entrance exam, barely making the cutoff for a second-tier university.
“That car accident wasn’t just a simple accident!” Thinking of his parents’ car accident, Henry Carter’s eyes turned cold. Because of his memories from his previous life, he knew that the accident was man-made, not an accident at all.
“Heh… In my previous life, I did my best to take revenge, and I guess I succeeded, but in the end, I paid too high a price. This time, I won’t!” Henry Carter swore silently in his heart.
In fact, there was another secret: the parents who died in the car accident were not his biological parents.
But!!! They treated him even better than real parents would. In Henry Carter’s heart, they were his true mom and dad.
“Grace, that silly girl…” Henry Carter couldn’t help but look at Grace Walker.
Why did he have any connection with Grace Walker? It was because after the college entrance exam, he was already planning to give up on university and wanted to find a job to support himself. So he went to apply for a job at a company, and it just so happened that the chairman of that company was Grace Walker’s father.
That day, he met Grace Walker, who had also just finished the college entrance exam and was at the company to see her father.
At the time, Henry Carter didn’t know Grace Walker’s identity, thinking she was also there to apply for a job like him.
Even more coincidentally, the two of them took the same elevator. When the elevator reached the twelfth floor, the power suddenly went out, and they were trapped inside. Not only that, but the elevator was creaking and swaying a bit—the situation was rather frightening.
Grace Walker was very scared and started to cry softly. Henry Carter originally wasn’t in the mood to comfort her. Although she was extremely beautiful, seeing Grace Walker cry harder and harder, he eventually couldn’t help but try to guide, comfort, and encourage her.
Two hours later, they were rescued by firefighters.
Grace Walker asked him for his phone number.
Henry Carter gave it to her, but didn’t think much of it, assuming they would never meet again.
After that, he didn’t get the job. In fact, he applied to more than a dozen companies in a row and failed every time. So, in his frustration, he locked himself in his rented room for three days, eating and drinking nothing. He even thought about ending his life!!!
But he never expected that on the third day, someone would knock on his door.
The person who came was actually Grace Walker.
“Henry Carter, so you live here! I’ve been looking for you for so long!” Henry Carter would never forget Grace Walker’s smile at that moment—it was like a star in the dark night sky, so bright and so warm.
After that, during that summer after the college entrance exam, Grace Walker would come to his rented room every ten days or so to help him tidy up.
And, as the summer was coming to an end, Grace Walker brought him some news: she had asked around for him, and Chengfeng University was willing to admit him with four years of free tuition, and even free meals.
Henry Carter wanted to refuse, but in the end, he agreed. The only reason was that the words “free meals” attracted him.
After entering Chengfeng University, by sheer coincidence, Grace Walker was in the same class as him. She cared for and looked after him even more, and even insisted that he live with her in an off-campus apartment.
But Henry Carter didn’t appreciate it at all, because he felt inferior. He absolutely didn’t dare to think, or believe, that Grace Walker liked him!
“That silly girl, she clearly scored 649 on the college entrance exam, and could have gone to a top university in the country, but lied to me and said she only got 503, just so she could go to Chengfeng University with me!”
“That silly girl, my score could barely get me into Chengfeng University—how could there be any scholarships or free meals? All those scholarships and meal fees were paid out of her own pocket!”
“That silly girl, she just wanted to take care of me, so she rented a 120-square-meter apartment herself, and insisted it was because she didn’t get along with her roommates and didn’t want to live in the dorm, and asked me to live with her, saying she was afraid to be alone and that having extra rooms would be a waste.”
“That silly girl, she’s clearly a rich young lady, and obviously didn’t know how to cook, but secretly learned to cook just for me.”
Looking back on the past, the memories flowed by like scenes from a movie. Henry Carter was in so much pain he could hardly breathe. He couldn’t describe the guilt he felt toward Grace Walker.
All those ‘silly things’ were done quietly by Grace Walker. In his previous life, it was only after Grace Walker died that he learned the truth.
He was such a jerk, an idiot, childish, and utterly ridiculous!!!
