Chapter: 1618

“Because I want you to give up completely. But I can't think of any way to make you believe that I'm not Rachel."

Roger still couldn't believe it, but the handwriting before him told him it couldn't be a lie.

Memories of the past suddenly flooded his mind. The feeling he had upon seeing her again four years ago and their interactions since that day were evidence of how different Rachel had become from the past her.

"If you're not Rachel," Roger started to say, clenching the notebook in his hand, "then who are you?"

As Roger asked this question, he couldn't help but look at Rachel up and down repeatedly. He stared at her face, examining it inch by inch. But no matter how many times he did it, he still couldn't believe that the person in front of him was actually not Rachel.

If she was not Rachel, how come she looked exactly like her?

Was it even possible?

"My real name is Shelia Davis." It was the first time in the past five years that she had been so open and serious into telling others about her true identity and the absurd experience of being reincarnated.

"She... Shelia?" Roger stammered as he repeated the name in a low voice.

He felt that she had never heard this name before, but at the same time, he could also tell that the woman in front of him was not lying.

"So you're not Rachel?" Roger couldn't help but ask. Of course, he was utterly confused, and so he needed to clarify what was going on.

“But if you are not Rachel, why did you..."

As his voice trailed off, he could only look at Rachel.

"Are you trying to ask me why I pretended to be Rachel?"

Roger swallowed hard but couldn't say a word. This woman could clearly see through him, so he didn't need to answer.

“Let me clarify something first. I didn't pretend to be her. This body is indeed Rachel's." After a brief pause, she asked, “Are you aware of time travel? Perhaps, you've already watched some popular films with this theme."

Roger's brows furrowed. There was a part of him saying that she was being ridiculous, but he still tried his best to understand her.

“Are you telling me that you traveled through time?"

"Well, maybe what happened to me could be considered as a kind of time traveling." In fact, Shelia didn't know exactly how her soul traveled and got inside Rachel's body.

“In films, time travel is usually depicted by people being transported back or forward in time.

But that's not what happened to me. This body belongs to Rachel, but the soul inside is not. It's Shelia's."

Rachel explained it slowly, trying to make Roger understand.

“Wait. So, you two swapped bodies? Is that it?"

“If it's easier to imagine that way, then you can say that," Rachel replied.

“But it's mot mere body swapping. I have most of her memories from childhood to adulthood."
