Love's Gentle Storm

1

"Oscar Smith, it's hard for me to have a holiday, and why don't you come looking for me? Are you still a man?

"If you don't come, we'll break up!"

During the holiday, I finally found time to go home and see my mother after a busy year, but my girlfriend got angry.

Grace and I had been together for five years, and I had never refused her anything.

Although I rejected her just once, she couldn't stand it and planned to block me as punishment.

"My mom had a heart surgery recently. You go too far!"

In the next second, I blocked her first.

I wouldn't let her control me in this life.

Thinking of all that I went through in my previous life, I felt uncomfortable all over.

I touched my penis and found that it was still fine.

In my previous life, I died once thanks to Grace Turner.

We had been together for five years, and I used to give her what she asked from college to graduation.

Even her best friends envied her for having such a good boyfriend.

Grace's family relationships were complex. Both her parents remarried. Her mother, Yara, gave birth to a boy with her stepfather, Brutus.

Nobody cared about Grace in the new family.

However, she was eager to go home during the holiday. As expected, upon getting home, she was severely bullied by her stepbrother, Billy Turner, two years younger than her.

In my previous life, she threatened to break up with me during the same holiday. Thus, I only stayed at home for three days before rushing back to her hometown in the village to accompany her.

Not only did her whole family look down on me, but also what that bastard did was outrageous.

I stood up for Grace as she was bullied badly, but Billy treated me as the most hated person.

The night before I was kicked out, he threw firecrackers into the pit when I went to the toilet.

Being covered with blood, I was in excruciating pain.

The private parts of my lower body were shattered into pieces on the spot.

The whole family, including my girlfriend, didn't even look at me. They sent me to the hospital and ran away.

They left without paying any medical expenses, and it was my mother who paid the money. At that time, she came all the way here in the middle of the night with her hair turning grey in anxiety.

Staying in the ICU for ten years spent all of our savings.

Even so, I didn't blame Grace. What I thought about when I came out of the ICU was to comfort her.

I never expected that she had already blocked me.

After that, she disappeared for three years.

When we met again, she had already married the man she had met on a blind date.

She tried to avoid me, regardless of how heartbroken I felt.

In my previous life, I didn't figure out until my death why I was the one who got hurt and was blocked.

The whole family not only indulged Billy, but also had an unhealthy three views.

In court, Grace's parents actually demanded that I compensate their son for mental damages.

The lawsuit took several years, and I thought it was over.

To my surprise, Grace started to spread the news that I was infertile for some reason.

I didn't hate her or look for her anymore, but she wouldn't let me go.

She was trying to ruin my life.

Due to her vicious behavior, I remained unmarried for life.

My mother, who had just undergone heart surgery, fell ill again because of long-term depression and passed away early.

I was also depressed and died young.

Unexpectedly, I was reborn on the day when I just returned home.

My nose twitched when I saw my mother, who had just undergone surgery, busying around in the kitchen to prepare meals for me.

After hanging up the phone with Grace, I opened my phone in anger and searched all the social media platforms to refund everything she had bought with my card.

I was nice to her from the bottom of my heart.

In the five years from college to graduation, she hardly spent her own money.

I had no money, so I worked part-time under the scorching sun.

Whatever she wanted, I would satisfy her.

I carefully calculated and found that I had spent over 500 thousand dollars on her in five years of relationship.

As a poor student, I had never been so filial to my mother, but she still betrayed me in the end.

With that in mind, I was shaking with anger.

Grace thought I would compromise first. But after receiving countless return reminders, she completely exploded.

She then realized that I had blocked her.

In the end, she couldn't help but call me. As soon as I answered the phone, she started swearing.

"Oscar, why don't you fucking coax me?

"I was bullied, but you are just being a coward?"

Grace cried for half an hour, and I finally had the chance to ask, "What do you want me to do?"

"You have to come looking for me right now. I'm pissed off by that bastard. Brutus and Yara both dote on him, and Yara even threatened me to get out of the house if I didn't behave well."

I thought to myself, "You don't want to offend anyone, so you let me do it?"

"You have to wait another three days. I just went home to visit my mom, and it hasn't even been two days."

"You can visit her at any time, but Billy is torturing me all the time. As soon as I came back, he turned all my belongings upside down and even stole my underwear!"

"Why don't you scold him?" I said expressionlessly.

"I did, but my mother wanted to drive me away. As my boyfriend, shouldn't you help me?"

She was furious. "Why are you still talking nonsense? If you don't help me, let's break up!"

I wouldn't break up with her unless they suffered the consequences.

Just like I did in my previous life, I said with a smile, "I'll definitely help you. Just wait another three days. I'll chat and play games with him in the next few days."

"Okay then, come here as soon as possible."

Grace hung up the phone in annoyance and quickly sent Billy's WhatsApp account to me.

Sure enough, in this life, the bastard asked me for money every now and then as usual.

He let me give him five dollars or eight dollars sometimes.

Over the past three days, I had given out over a hundred dollars in total.

He suddenly said one night, "Oscar, it's my birthday today, and I want three hundred dollars."

"No problem. It's not a big deal!

"You are the most powerful one in your family. No one can do anything to you."

I transferred the money to him without hesitation. He was satisfied with his dominant position and thought he had me under his thumb.

As I expected, everything went smoothly these days.

I was extremely considerate and always soft-touch.

Every now and then, I would give him money as long as he asked.

In my previous life, I was afraid that Billy, who had dropped out, would spend the money recklessly, so I asked Grace if she knew about it.

Unexpectedly, Brutus called me via video on Billy's WhatsApp.

As soon as the call was connected, he started to mock me.

"Billy, you're rude. How could you ask Oscar for so much money? A few dollars would be fine, but you want three hundred all of a sudden. How can he afford it? It is embarrassing!"

Even so, when I went to their home later, I still gave him the money.

I paid the money without getting anything in return.

I could remember clearly how disgusting they were.

In this life, I gave him more money generously.

The more obsequious I was, the more unscrupulous Billy became.

Anyway, once he got used to being pampered, it would be exciting to see what he could do.

I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

That night, I received a call from Grace.

She cried on the phone and complained, "I just said something bad about Billy, and he actually burned my hair with a lighter!

"Yara doesn't care about it, and Brutus supports him. All of them bully me!

"If you don't come over, I'm really going crazy."

She was crying hard on the other end of the line.

I had a smile on my face, saying with a worried voice, "It's unbelievable! They go too much. Okay, I'll go there tomorrow!"

"Bring some gifts when you come."

Before she finished speaking, I hung up the phone.

It was impossible for me to bring gifts.

In this life, I not only wouldn't spend a penny on them, but also watched them suffer the consequences in person.

The pain Grace experienced was only was not a patch on what I experienced.

After I went there, it wouldn't bring an end to her suffering but worsen the situation.

In my previous life, to save Grace's face, I specially bought gifts worth nearly 10 thousand dollars and brought them to visit her family.

I had just graduated from college, and it had already emptied my wallet.

Unexpectedly, upon entering their house, I was satirized by Brutus.

He didn't like the gifts I worked so hard to prepare, asking me with a fake smile, "Isn't it a big burden for you to buy them?

"I said that Billy was rude back then. How could he ask you for three hundred dollars you couldn't afford? Would it be hard for you to buy the gifts?"

As my girlfriend, Grace just remained silent and let her stepfather and biological mother mock me.

Besides, Brutus pulled Billy over and pushed him in front of me. "Quick, say hello to Oscar. It's the first time he has come here, and he will be our family."

Under such circumstances, I had no choice but to take out the money as a gift of greeting, which I had prepared.

To my surprise, Yara took it directly, opened it, and counted the money several times.

"Why give him five hundred dollars? He just stays at home all day, and how can he spend it?"

Grace used my money as a favor and stuffed it into Billy's hand. She smiled flatteringly and finally spoke up, "Since it's given by Oscar, just take it."

That bastard actually got angry.

He snatched the money and threw it hard in my face!

He even spat at me.

"Poor guy, I don't want your money. If you can't afford it, then don't pretend to be generous!"

Brutus rushed over and pretended to teach him a lesson, and the next second, he made Billy accept my money reluctantly.

It happened just as I entered the house.

I gave money and bought gifts but was ridiculed. Besides, Billy, whom I had never met before, threw the money right in my face.

The whole family accepted gifts and money, but I felt frustrated.

I would get back at them in this life.

Unlike my previous life, I had been coaxing Billy this time.

When I visited the home at this time, most of the gifts I bought were for him, including clothes and shoes, and everything was cheap. As for his parents, I didn't prepare anything.

"Hurry up and say hello to Oscar." Brutus pushed Billy in front of me over again.

He didn't care that Billy was already an adult.

I patted his head with a smile, took out gift money, and handed it to him.

"Hello, Billy. It is a gift from me."

"Amazing! It must be a lot of money! Ten, twenty, thirty..."

As I expected, Yara snatched it, took out all the money, and counted them one by one.

"Oh my! Why did you give him 5 thousand dollars? It is too much. This is really unnecessary! How can he accept such an expensive gift?"

Yara pretended to return it to me, acting very politely.

Billy's eyes fell on the gift.

Just as Grace was about to grab it, I took the gift back.

It made their expressions change slightly.

"Since you think it is inappropriate, then I will give it to him next time I and Grace get married."

Putting the money away with a smile, I touched Billy's head and lowered my head to tell him, "I wanted to give it to you, and you can see how much money I have prepared for you. But unfortunately, your mother disagrees."

I played dumb and laid the blame on others.

In my previous life, Yara mocked my mother sarcastically in court. It was she who didn't take good care of Billy and led to his injury, but she still dared to curse that my family would have no descendants. I couldn't forget it.

Bad things should happen to such a vicious woman.

After finishing speaking, I showed the gift again.

Billy, who was greedy, never thought he would miss it, and his expression changed instantly.

He glared at Yara fiercely and rushed over suddenly.

The next second, the woman let out a scream of agony.
