Chapter 4 Return Ter to Me

"Sweetheart, whatever you desire, no one can steal from you. If anyone tries, I'll make sure you get it back!" Rebecca pulled her close, feeling a pang of sorrow. Her beloved daughter had endured so much over the past two decades. She vowed to ensure that no more troubles would come her way. "Mom, Dad, you've been so kind to me." Elaine's heart swelled with warmth. In this world, her parents were the ones who treated her best. Sadly, in her previous life, she had feelings for Terry. She dreamt constantly of marrying him. As soon as she came back to the Currans, she made it clear she wouldn't marry anyone except Terry. Now, however, she unexpectedly wanted to cancel the marriage. They must be struggling to accept it. But she wasn't rushing. Regardless, she would never marry that awful Terry. Elaine was touched as she embraced her parents. "Silly girl, if we aren't kind to you, who else would we be?" "Elaine, even if you wanted the stars, I would find a way to get them for you," Leon added. Alora watched from upstairs as the heartwarming family scene unfolded below, her grip on the railing tightening a bit. The love and care of her parents were all hers. She was the cherished little princess they had adored for two decades. But now, Elaine had taken her place. ... Elaine talked with her parents for a long time, and she finally felt the genuine joy of being rebirth. Her parents had their own tasks to handle. She returned to her room, only to find Alora waiting at the door. Alora wore a light-colored knee-length skirt, showcasing her slender and graceful figure. Her appearance perfectly complemented her style. Her small, delicate face, no bigger than a palm, featured dainty, pretty features, and her slight frown made her seem almost sorrowful. Especially with the teardrop mole beneath her eye, she looked particularly vulnerable. She was well-known in the entertainment industry as a charming little fairy and a rich beauty. Unfortunately, her appearance was the result of cosmetic surgery. Even the teardrop mole beneath her eye was artificially placed. She had spent millions, leaving no sign of her cosmetic surgery. "Is there something you need?" Elaine noticed her blocking the door and frowned slightly. "Yes." Alora's voice was soft as she gazed at her face, which was even more flawless than Rebecca's. A surge of intense jealousy filled Alora. As the youngest and most favored daughter of the Currans, she had everything. The only thing she was dissatisfied with was her own face. She often lamented how unfair life was. Why were all seven of her brothers handsome while she appeared so plain? When she was around 12 or 13, she began undergoing cosmetic surgery. Despite Rebecca and Leon's objections, they couldn't withstand her tantrums. After seven or eight years, she finally achieved a face she was entirely pleased with. Yet, standing before Elaine, she felt a sudden wave of insecurity. "Speak!" Elaine demanded. She was impatient with Alora. Alora took a step closer, her pretty face displaying a mournful look. "Elaine, could I ask you for a favor?" Wasn't this woman trying to use a retreating stance to gain an advantage? If so, I would make it hard for her to back out. Elaine remained silent. She raised an eyebrow slightly, waiting for Alora to continue. "Elaine, could you please return Ter to me?" Just moments ago, she was adamant about canceling the marriage. Now, there should be no reason to refuse, right? Elaine stayed quiet. Ter? That title sounded so creepy. "I've known since I was young that I would marry him when I grew up. So, I love him very much. I really can't lose him." Alora looked pitiful. It seemed that Elaine was the third party who ended her relationship with Terry. "Elaine, if you agree to return Ter to me, I will offer you whatever you want." "Whatever I want?" Elaine gave a mysterious smile.
