Introduction
In the previous life, she disliked him and avoided him. This time around, Adelaide wants to kiss, cuddle, and hug Sebastian every day.
"Bullying my husband? I'll poke your eyes out."
"My husband isn't handsome?"
Believe it or not, I'll blind you. Save you from having a pair of useless eyes.
Rumors have it that Sebastian, the heir of the Manners family, is physically and mentally weak, with his life hanging by a thread.
Adelaide, the sixth wife to marry into the family, is a fool?
No, who started this rumor? Isn't this rumor too exaggerated?
Is Adelaide a top doctor or a national goddess? Who knows?
Those strikingly handsome long legs belong to Sebastian?
Alright!
It's one thing for Sebastian to be wealthy, but to be both wealthy and handsome, that's just too much!
Adelaide being pretty is one thing, but being pretty with a sparkling and intelligent brain is just excessive."

Chapter 1
Adelaide Montagu was killed by her most trusted friend, Saskia Davis, and a man.
The two strangled her with a rope and hung her from a tall tree deep in the forest, leaving her to be devoured by insects and ants.
A week later, Adelaide's nominal husband, Sebastian Manners, found her disfigured body while leaning on a cane and cried out in despair as he held her corpse.
Adelaide realized that the person who loved her the most was Sebastian.
Her soul followed Sebastian, to witness he took revenge on the murderer.
Afterward, Sebastian changed into clean clothes and went to the ice room where Adelaide's body was kept.
Lying down beside Adelaide, Sebastian looked at her affectionately and said, "Adelaide, I have avenged you. Wait for me, I'll be with you soon."
With those words, a relieved smile appeared on Sebastian's face.
It was only then that Adelaide noticed Sebastian had slit his wrist, and blood quickly stained the sheets red.
She never expected Sebastian to die for her.
Adelaide was shaken to her core.
She wanted to cry, but ghosts have no tears.
Adelaide tried to grasp his wrist to stop the bleeding, but she couldn't do anything and could only shout helplessly, "Sebastian, no! Go to find a doctor!"
In his daze, Sebastian seemed to see Adelaide.
The curve of his lips widened, "Adelaide, I'm here to be with you."
"Sebastian!"
With Adelaide's heart-wrenching scream, she felt a strong force pulling her soul.
A wave of dizziness hit her, and Adelaide lost consciousness.
"No." Adelaide suddenly woke up.
Sweat covered her forehead, her body was cold, and she opened her eyes to see a familiar yet strange environment.
Wasn't she dead? Where was this?
The surrounding voices quickly brought Adelaide back to her senses.
"Finally awake, otherwise we wouldn't know how to explain to Mr. Manners."
"Ms. Montagu, since you're awake, get up quickly. Mr. Manners will be here soon. Be careful when serving Mr. Manners, he has a bad temper and doesn't like being touched casually."
"And also..."
Hearing the servants' instructions, Adelaide finally realized.
She had been reborn.
Reborn to the day she married Sebastian.
In her previous life, Adelaide had been drugged and knocked out by her malicious stepmother and sent to the Manners Villa.
Sebastian had been in a car accident three years ago, leaving his legs paralyzed and his health deteriorating day by day, not knowing when he might die.
Marcus Manners, believing a fortune teller's words, had arranged for Sebastian to marry to bring good luck.
But the previous five brides had all been scared away by Sebastian's cruelty.
Adelaide was the sixth bride chosen.
"Where's Sebastian? Hasn't he arrived yet?" Adelaide impatiently interrupted the servants.
She was still wearing a cheap dress and jumped off the bed, looking around.
When Sebastian appeared, the servants looked at her with disdain and were about to say something.
Adelaide immediately saw the cold man in the wheelchair.
Seeing Sebastian's handsome face again, Adelaide's pupils trembled slightly, and her eyes instantly reddened.
She excitedly walked up to Sebastian, "Sebastian."
Before Adelaide could get closer, Sebastian's cold gaze stopped her in her tracks.
Sebastian's voice was icy, "You can leave now."
"I'm not leaving." Adelaide anxiously tried to get closer to Sebastian, "Sebastian, I'm not leaving."
In her previous life, she had hated Sebastian for trapping her, so she had helped Gavin Manners, the illegitimate son, to fight against Sebastian for the Manners family inheritance.
In the end, Adelaide realized she was just a pawn and met a tragedy in the end.
In this new life, Adelaide swore to make Gavin and Saskia pay and protect Sebastian.
Even if it was dangerous, she would not let Gavin's schemes succeed.
Sebastian glanced coldly at Adelaide, "The money given to the Montagu family from the Manners family will not be taken back."
No one would willingly marry a dying man.
Marcus always bought brides with money, and the Montagu family was no exception.
But the money was never given to Adelaide; it was taken by her unscrupulous stepmother.
Adelaide made up her mind and sat on the edge of the bed, "I'm not leaving. If you have the guts, have someone carry me out. I took Marcus's money, so I have to keep my promise to take care of you."
As if thinking of something, Adelaide continued, "Our marriage registration is already done, and the marriage certificate is on its way. If you kick me out, you're a scumbag, abandoning your wife."
"I'll report you for abandoning me on our wedding day. The Manners family has a big reputation to uphold; they can't afford this scandal."
Adelaide glared fiercely at Sebastian, "No matter what, I'm not leaving. From now on, you're my husband, and we're a couple. I'm staying to take care of you."
Everyone around was stunned by Adelaide's shameless words.
Only Sebastian coldly scrutinized her.
The previous five women had either cried about their misfortune or refused to stay after seeing him.
This woman was the first to openly acknowledge their marriage and insist on staying.
Sebastian's deep eyes darkened.
"Give me a reason," Sebastian asked coldly.
Without thinking, Adelaide replied, "I love you. You're so handsome; I fell in love at first sight. I was attracted to your looks and fell in love with you."
"Having a handsome and wealthy husband is a great deal for me. I'm not leaving."
Adelaide's words drew disdainful looks.
But Adelaide didn't care, she smiled at Sebastian.
Sebastian frowned slightly, "Love? Do you think I'll believe that? Even if it's true, I don't love you."
"It doesn't matter. I love you." Adelaide assured, "I believe that one day you'll love me too."
With that, Adelaide got up and approached Sebastian.
She knelt down to look him in the eye, "Sebastian, from now on, I'll take care of you. Give me a chance, and I'll show you my sincerity."
"Since the money has been taken, I have an obligation to stay and take care of you. I'm not leaving," Adelaide said firmly.
She continued, "Please let me stay. If I leave the Manners Villa, I have nowhere to go. If my stepmother finds out I've been sent back, she won't be happy."
"Sebastian, I'm easy to take care of. Just give me a meal, and I'll be fine. I want to stay and take care of you." As she spoke, Adelaide's eyes reddened.
She pinched her thigh, her eyes welling up with tears.
Sebastian frowned at her, noticing her subtle actions.
After a long while, Sebastian slowly looked away.
