Chapter 71: Please Marry First Brother!

Meanwhile, Lola lay flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling. She swallowed hard, then closed her eyes, trying to ignore her fluttering heart.

"He just said I smell nice," she murmured, clutching her chest. "Why are you racing? Goodness."

She slowly rolled onto her side with a heavy sigh.

"This feels like déjà vu," she whispered, reminded of how she used to swoon over the same guy. Clicking her tongue, she shut her eyes. "Don’t think about it. Ignore it, Lola. Ignore it."

She repeated the words over and over, but to no avail. Slowly, she opened her eyes and stared at the empty side of the bed.

"For some reason, this bed feels wider now," she said with a slight frown. "Should I switch rooms with him?"

Hearing herself, she scrunched up her nose in dismay. She had planned to leave the restaurant tonight or at least talk to Atlas about his stay, but their conversation had moved so fast she completely forgot.

She shut her eyes again and forced herself to sleep. It took about an hour, but eventually, she drifted off.

[Short Flashback]

"Did something good happen?"

Lola perked up from her seat next to the bed, pulled from her thoughts by her mother’s voice. Her eyes landed on Loren, who was propped up against the pillows. Loren’s head was covered by a scarf, her complexion was pale, and her face was hollowed by sickness, yet her eyes shone beautifully and gently.

"Do you... have a boyfriend now?" she teased her daughter, chuckling as Lola’s face blushed.

"No—no!" Lola stuttered, touching her cheeks as she pouted. "Mom, why would you say that? I’m too young, and I need to take care of you."

Loren’s smile remained, and she motioned for her daughter to come closer. Lola crawled onto the bed and nestled beside her mother.

"Lola, you don’t have to take care of Mom," she mused, tilting her body slightly to see her daughter. "That’s not your job."

"But..."

"No buts." Loren squeezed her daughter’s hand gently, her brows rising reassuringly as she nodded. "Alright? You’re with me because you want to spend some time with Mom."

Lola pressed her lips and smiled.

"So? Is he a good guy?" Loren changed the topic.

Lola pursed her lips, looking at her mother with a hint of bitterness. How could her mother read her like an open book, but she still couldn’t read herself after living an entire lifetime?

A shallow breath escaped Lola as she leaned her head on her mother’s shoulder. "I think...?"

"You think?"

"He’s a senior," she continued with a frown. "But he’s also very quiet. He studies all the time, whether he’s eating in the cafeteria or just idling."

She fell silent, thinking about how her crush never looked anywhere but at his books. She’d also heard that the reason he always wore earplugs was that he was listening to an online class.

The next morning...

Second life, she thought.
