In my previous life, Clarice's family and my family were close.
Since I hated studying, I dropped out early to start streaming.
Clarice's family had almost lost everything after her father's investment failures.
At that time, my parents stepped in and helped them recover some of their losses.
However, Clarice's father couldn't bear the blow and ended up taking his own life.
Misfortunes followed one after another. Shortly after her father's death, Clarice's mother passed away due to cancer.
On her deathbed, Clarice's mother wished for a stable future for her, leaving behind a will for her to marry me.
Clarice had always been the most attractive girl. She was sweet, beautiful, and gentle.
We had grown up together, and I really liked her. I was ecstatic when I heard the news.
But after her father's death, Clarice changed. She became withdrawn and seemed like a different person.
She married me according to her mother's will, but she treated me like a stranger from then on.
She never accepted my kindness.
Not only did she never shown any interest in me, but she also often pretended not to hear when I spoke to her.
I thought Clarice was just grieving for her parents.
