"The Reborn Sister’s Escape" Chapter 27
"Julian executed a total, unconditional agreement without a single microsecond of hesitation. Regarding the subsequent logistical developments, your own memory possesses full awareness—the C family delivered an absolute, unyielding refusal to permit the transfer."
Sera swiped a palm across her cheeks to clear away a sudden rush of tears, desperately straining her internal control mechanisms to restore a state of composure.
Yet the volume of moisture leaking from her eye sockets strictly escalated in velocity.
The rims of her eyes were heavily crimson, her vocal register completely choked with deep, jagged sobs:
"You absolute piece of trash, for what earthly reason did your mouth never once choose to communicate a single shred of these facts over to my position?"
I genuinely hadn't anticipated that the narrative would completely dissolve Sera into a total weeping mess.
I frantically retrieved a facial tissue box to force it into her palms.
"For what earthly reason should my mouth casually toss out a sci-fi narrative of this nature to your ears without an explicit catalyst? Stepping outside that variable, even assuming my lips had articulated the facts, your cognitive architecture would have flatly categorized it as an impossibility, wouldn't it?"
Sera's weeping strictly intensified, her tears spilling continuously down her cheeks like precious gold beads.
"For what earthly reason should my mind harbor disbelief? Provided the syllables vacate your lips, my soul will extend absolute, unconditional belief to back your word."
"Tracking the timeline from childhood all the way into maturity, every single milestone where Chloe weaponized her malice to cast my frame out of the mansion, your coordinates would systematically materialize to launch a search campaign to find my body, before gently coaxing my form to reside within the borders of the J family estate."
"Every single instance where Chloe weaponized her behavioral patterns to tyrannize my existence, your physical body would similarly leap straight into the line of fire to vent your fury on my behalf, engaging in physical catfights alongside her person."
"For what earthly reason should an individual possessing a soul as magnificent as yours be forced to endure an ultimate conclusion so thoroughly horrific and tragic in our past life?"
This young lady was genuinely, deeply sentimental.
Provided my cognitive architecture had anticipated this volume of emotional bleeding, I would have flatly never chosen to share the facts.
"Every single thread of those variables has completely entered the past; after all, evaluated from my current psychological baseline, those facts belong strictly to the jurisdiction of a previous lifetime."
"Woo-hoo... if that is the baseline, how about I simply execute a total transfer to gift Lawrence directly over to your name?"
I was completely caught between tears and laughter by the sheer absurdity of the offer.
"Fascinating, truly fascinating. An individual who is literally on the absolute eve of celebrating her formal marriage ceremony, offering to gift her biological husband directly into my possession—does Lawrence's consciousness harbor even a microscopic fraction of awareness regarding this logistical development?"

"Yet the exact millisecond my mind processes the sheer scale of the horrors your body endured in our past life, my chest is locked in an absolute vice of suffocating pain. Clara, stepping outside the boundaries of Lawrence's existence, my hands possess zero superior assets of higher quality to offer as a gift to back your life."
A genuine wave of internal warmth rippled through my emotions.
Evaluating the psychological currents defining Sera's baseline, Lawrence functioned as an absolute treasure that she guarded with the exact identical intensity as her own biological pupils.
During the historical milestone where Chloe had attempted to train her predatory designs to covet his presence, Sera had bypassed basic hesitation, choosing to completely tear away the high-society mask to launch a direct, head-on warfare campaign targeting the C family fortress.
In the current landscape, her lips actually stepped forward to declare an intention to transfer his existence over to my possession.
"Enough, enough of this absolute theater; go ahead and retain Lawrence to oversee his utilization properly for your own life, refrain from mapping out these completely impossible, wild scenarios within your skull."
Sera wrapped her arms tightly around my physical frame, her breathing heavily punctuated by continuous, rhythmic sniffling.
"Very well then, my mind similarly comprehends the reality that your personal taste completely bypasses evaluating his form as a premium asset, though my initial agenda was strictly to gift his presence to clear a path for your consciousness to sit back to enjoy the magnificent luxury of a double-husband lifestyle..."
"What exact variation of a double-husband lifestyle did your mouth just articulate?"
"Aren't your personal romantic coordinates currently locked in a formal relationship alongside Julian?"
My facial features were instantaneously anchored by an absolute mask of pure astonishment.
Immediately followed by a severe wave of deep, internal guilt.
"You, you, you... by what exact metric did your cognitive faculties secure that data point?"
"My eyes explicitly evaluated the reality of the two of you locked in a deep kiss within the cabin parameters of the vehicle on that specific calendar date."
Faint.
I lifted a palm to tightly support the contours of my forehead, an intense wave of absolute cold sweat washing across my frame.
Sera's subsequent sentence, however, completely shattered my entire internal emotional matrix into a pile of absolute dust.
"Auntie J similarly evaluated the exact identical reality."
"What on earth did you say?"
"Driver Wu, Auntie Zhang, and Driver Chen collectively evaluated the exact identical reality. Although Uncle J's eyes missed the live presentation, Auntie J explicitly mapped out a detailed summary to update his consciousness regarding the facts."
I slammed my palms over my face to completely mask my features.
What sort of apocalyptic logistical circus had my life transformed into?
"For what earthly reason did your lips choose to remain completely silent regarding this variable until now?"
"Auntie J explicitly clarified that perhaps the two of you maintained a psychological baseline where your minds weren't quite prepared to permit external entities to secure definitive knowledge tracking your romantic relationship. Consequently, she directed our entire network to execute a flawless coordination campaign to feign absolute, total ignorance before your eyes, ensuring that whenever the milestone materializes where the two of you independently elect to share the facts, our network can smoothly unleash a magnificent display of pure shock to match the environment."

"As a direct consequence, every single member of the household network has been aggressively pushing their acting skills to the absolute limit across this recent block of time, solely to avoid a scenario where the exact second the two of you announce your romance, our collective shock presentation feels insufficient or mechanical, which would translate to an exceptionally awkward social disaster."
The skin anchoring my cranium turned completely numb with pure embarrassment.
"Cease vocalizing additional data points, cease speaking immediately; my consciousness is already initializing a state of profound, terminal social death right this second."
Sera couldn't check her impulses, once more dissolving into a total fit of pure, ecstatic laughter.
"Auntie J explicitly commanded every single one of us that the exact millisecond the announcement vacates your lips, our collective performance must seamlessly project profound shock, transitioning into deep bewilderment, before smoothly migrating the emotional current to hit the baseline of absolute understanding and protective blessings."
"Furthermore, she demanded that we execute the choreography to ensure absolute emotional saturation alongside a thoroughly genuine intensity radiating from our pupils. Provided the household collective delivers a premium performance that meets her high standards, the year-end financial bonuses will be completely doubled across the board."
"Auntie Zhang was literally negotiating alongside Uncle Wu yesterday to evaluate whether the duo should purchase a joint subscription to enroll in a professional theatrical acting course."
I...
Sera's emotional frequencies materialized with rapid velocity and evaporated with identical speed; in the current landscape, her physical frame was already completely doubled over in a massive ball of laughter.
Right as my lips prepared to issue a sharp command directing her form to exercise a degree of structural restraint, the acoustic ring of her digital device violently penetrated the environment.
Sera concluded the active digital call, her gaze pivoting to lock straight onto my features with a profound degree of absolute seriousness.
"The source behind the call was my mother; her tongue explicitly implored my person to evaluate whether I could negotiate alongside your frame to arrange an official face-to-face meeting."
49
Separated by an absolute span of two lifetimes.
My footsteps once more materialized within the parameters of the C mansion.
The C mother’s eyes were heavily swollen and crimson, precisely as though her form had just concluded a severe fit of weeping.
"Cla... Clara."
She cautiously glided forward to approach my position, her absolute visual focus tracking my physical frame from start to finish without a single moment of deviation.
Her hand subtly extended forward, appearing to harbor an intention to clasp around my palm.
I executed a swift step backward to expand the physical distance, my vocal register thoroughly detached and cold:
