When My Boyfriend was Away On Business, I Discovered His Lies

His angry roar worsened my headache, and I sounded displeased when I said.

"At least it beats a future life in turmoil."

I had never spoken to him like this before, and he immediately glared at me.

"What did you say? Are you saying that marrying me will put your life in turmoil? If you had thought so, why didn't you discuss it with me earlier?

"It's our wedding day today! How could you be so willful? Is this a game to you?"

I clicked my tongue, feeling speechless about his loud voice. He really wasn't worried about attracting my neighbors' attention at all.

"Is it me who thinks my life will be in turmoil? I don't have to lay the matter between you and Sally out, do I?

"Jeremy, it's fine if you have no shame. I don't care. But I care about my reputation. The neighbors can hear you. Save yourself some dignity!"

Jeremy's expression changed slightly when he heard my words, and then his gaze started to wander. He didn't want to meet my eyes and immediately changed the topic.

"We can talk about anything else later. Let's finish the wedding first. Our relatives and friends are all there. Are you going to embarrass my parents like that?"

"I'm not going."

I decisively refused him, holding the doorknob and about to close the door. Jeremy reached out to block the door, gritting his teeth.

"It's my parents! They want to talk to you face to face!"

Hearing him mention his parents twice, I couldn't help but feel guilty. His parents were nice to me, treating me like their own daughter. It was a pity that Jeremy was a cheater.

No matter what, I didn't show up at the wedding today, and I left them embarrassed.

Jeremy failed me as well as the years of effort I put in.

"Fine. Wait here."

Without waiting for Jeremy's response, I slammed the door shut with a bang. After washing up, I opened the door again. He looked furious, but he didn't dare to say anything. Seeing that, I was amused.

When we arrived at the scene, the guests, except for a few close relatives of the Fletcher family, had already left. When they saw me, a few elders started to scold me.

"Andrea, how could you? You can be as willful as you want at usual times, but it's the wedding we're talking about. How could you go back on your word just like that?"

"Andrea, you decided not to show up at the last minute. How are we going to..."

"That's enough, guys."

Joanna Fletcher, Jeremy's mother, stopped them. She was as gentle as ever. She signaled Jeremy to take me into the private room so as not to be pointed fingers at by their relatives.

Maxwell Fletcher, Jeremy's father, was in the private room. When he saw me, he stood up anxiously.

"Andrea! We were looking for you everywhere! If you were aggrieved or unhappy about the wedding, you could have told us. Why didn't you answer the phone?

"We can always talk things out!"

Joanna led us to sit down and then sighed softly.

"Andrea, Maxwell is right. You can talk to me about anything. After all, you'll be part of the family. I've always treated you like my own daughter."

Looking at them, I felt even more guilty.

They had treated me really well. I often saw people posting conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law online, but there had been almost no conflicts between me and Joanna. But now, I had made up my mind. No one could make me have a change of heart.

I bit my lip and shook my head.

"Joanna, Maxwell, the wedding isn't the reason."

Saying this, I looked at Jeremy.

After sitting down, Jeremy had been silent, and now he even pulled a long face.

Seeing this, Joanna had a vague guess that it was because of Jeremy, and she sighed.

"Jeremy, did you upset Andrea?"

"I wouldn't dare to."

Jeremy said stubbornly. Seeing that he neither admitted nor took the initiative to tell the truth, I sighed, not knowing how to tell them.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then the person came in without waiting for a response.

It was Sally, who was dressed up and holding gifts. She came in on high heels and said congratulatory words right after. It seemed she didn't see me.

"Mrs. Fletcher, Mr. Fletcher, I'm late. Happy wedding..."

She turned around and paused when she saw me. She was stunned.
