Experiencing a suffocating marriage with the man whom she was arranged to marry made Joanna want to leave him. But it was a failure as she died as the wife of the man who abandoned her and her son before they divorced. 

On the verge of her death, she made a wish to not encounter him again if there was a next life. She wished for the end of their fate only in this lifetime. She wanted to forget everything about him. 

However, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the room of the mansion of the man she just married. She was awakened by a dream that seemed to be a nightmare of her past life. 

She didn’t remember completely everything that had occurred in her past life and the dream was fragmented. But deep inside her heart, she only felt one thing. She was adamant about leaving him, to be far away from him. 

Therefore, she left his mansion just before she met him in person in the present lifetime.
However, what she didn’t expect was that the so-called husband pursued her, not allowing her to leave him.

Would Joanna be successful in leaving the man in this lifetime? Would fate play the same tragedy as her past life?

As he pulled his finger away from her soft, warm lips, he said, “It is good you stopped winding up, Joanna. Otherwise, I would have used the other method to make you stop blabbering over the same, boring topic endlessly.” 

When he noticed the stubborn woman was about to prove herself to be stubborn, the man leaned forward in a swift movement, facing the woman’s stupefied face which was an inch away from his. 

“Continue to blabbering, don’t blame me if I apply my other method right now,” the man murmured above her breath, trailing his gaze from her quivering eyes to her lips before moving it back to her now widened eyes.

The General's Wife Wants to Leave

Directing her eyes at the hand on her wrist, Joanna could only sigh.

There was no way he would let go of her hand even if she protested, as they would likely end up arguing, while he would reason that she might run away again as she was now out of the deep forest and Barasca knights were with her.

Wasting no more time, as they should quickly return to the orphanage to attend to two sick people now, she made her way toward the purple flower-headed herb that she had failed to obtain before, hand in hand with the General, who still wore a wide smile on his lips.

When the herb was within her reach, Joanna, whose left hand was not free as it was still in the hold of the General, who was not willing to play hide and seek with her, tried to pick the herb with her only one free hand. However, it was not easy, as she had to be careful due to the stiff and sharp spines on the surface of the herbs.
