She's My Mission and Also Love

I had lived in the universe of this novel for ten years. My mission was to make Isabelle marry me.

In the last month of the mission, Isabelle came to meet me with her boyfriend, the male lead of this novel.

The system asked me to confess my feelings to Isabelle so that I could have a chance of winning her.

But I refused.

Because I fell in love with Isabelle.

I didn't want her to marry me just because she pitied me.

After receiving the message from Isabelle Caldwell, the countdown in my mind suddenly turned into ten days.

It meant that my mission was about to fail.

There was only one sentence in her message.

"How about having dinner with me and my boyfriend tonight?"

Ten years ago, I found that I became a character in a novel.

The readers wanted the second male lead to be with Isabelle, so I came here to accomplish this mission.

The life of the past decade was so real that it felt like I had actually become Gilbert Pacheco.

Because I fell in love with Isabelle.

"Host, the mission is about to fail. It is recommended that you make a confession to retrieve the situation."

The system spoke those words in my mind.

I refused.

True love was exclusive. If Isabelle was with someone else, it could prove one thing.

She didn't love me.

If that was the case, why did I have to complete the mission?

I had been with her for ten years. I was supposed to die ten years ago. But I lived for another ten years.

It was worth it.

As soon as I came here, I had a chronic illness, which was the system's doing.

In the eyes of others, that was the Gilbert Pacheco they knew, a weak and thin man who fell ill without any specific cause.

But I knew that my health was poor.

When the countdown began, my body felt hollowed out.

Before going to meet Isabelle, I looked at myself in the mirror at home.

In the mirror, my face was pale, and my lips were pale as frosty.

Suddenly, a sharp pain twisted inside me.

The next moment, the washbasin was full of blood.

"Host, if you don't work hard, you will have to endure this punishment for a whole month."

The system was forcing me to take action.

But I didn't care at all. I wiped the blood off my mouth with a tissue and left.

Isabelle arrived at the restaurant before me.

When she saw me coming, she smiled brightly and waved at me.

There sat a man wearing a brown leather jacket beside her, with sharp eyebrows and eyes.

He was a different kind of man from me.

I approached, and Isabelle complained, "Gilbert, you are not punctual today."

She leaned on that man and winked at me.

I sat across from her. "Sorry, I'm late."

Isabelle didn't really care if I was late. All her attention was focused on her boyfriend.

"Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Terrence Aguirre.

"This is my friend from childhood, Gilbert Pacheco."

The man across from me slowly extended his hand and gently shook mine.

Terrence's eyes stared at my face for several seconds. "Have we met before? You look very familiar to me."

Isabelle laughed, "No way. It can't be that coin...
