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

"Hello, Andrea. You're here too."

Sally forced a smile and tried to greet me in a relaxed tone.

I couldn't help but feel ironic. I was the bride, yet she said "You're here too". Her words seemed particularly unnecessary.

It made me feel like I shouldn't have been here. Then who should?

Sally?

Sally walked up to me, and as she greeted me, I keenly noticed a ring sparkling on her ring finger. Subconsciously, I furrowed my brows. I suddenly had a bad feeling.

Then I turned my head to look at Jeremy. Sure enough, he had the same ring as hers on his finger.

I felt a slap in the face.

At my wedding, my husband and his secretary were actually wearing wedding rings.

No wonder Jeremy always came up with excuses, refusing to wear the wedding ring. Now I knew why.

If I came here to get married without knowing anything, when we exchanged rings on stage, Jeremy would have to take off his and Sally's rings in advance. Didn't he find it troublesome?

Was this my wedding with Jeremy, or was it Sally's?

I suppressed the anger and remained silent.

Jeremy's parents noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere. Joanna quickly invited us to eat, saying that if there was any problem, at least we should eat first before fixing it.

I wanted to clarify and leave right away, but I didn't because I felt guilty about Joanna and Maxwell, and I didn't want to embarrass Joanna.

So, we all sat down and waited for the dishes to be served.

After all the dishes were served, Joanna kept putting food on my plate. She didn't ask me why I didn't come to the wedding scene.

Instead, she just kept saying, "Andrea, try this. It's delicious.

"This is the signature dish. Do you want me to peel the shrimp for you?"

I said no politely and involuntarily looked at Jeremy.

He was sitting with Sally. The two seemed to have endless things to say, and his expression was no longer that cold.

Sally looked so tender, completely ignoring the presence of his parents and me, the bride.

I saw Maxwell elbow Jeremy. Only then did Jeremy realize that he had gone too far. He reluctantly turned his head and picked up a crab for me.

I looked at the crab and then at Jeremy, feeling a bit helpless.

Today was my period, and I shouldn't eat crabs, but he seemed to have completely forgotten.

I quietly threw away the crab. Joanna and Maxwell saw the whole thing.

They couldn't help but look at Jeremy and Sally next to him. Her plate was already full, and he was still peeling shrimp.

It seemed pretty clear that he wasn't peeling for me.

I didn't want to waste any more time here, so I grabbed a tissue to wipe my mouth and stood up, decisively speaking.

"I'm sorry. I think I've had enough to eat. Jeremy and I have officially broken up, and I will split all the expenses of this wedding with him."

"Who says you get to call the shots?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Jeremy glared at me gloomily.

Sally suddenly stood up and asked anxiously with a worried expression on her face.

"What's going on, Andrea? Why... It's so sudden. Is there a misunderstanding?"

She was such a big phony. She disgusted me.

I walked towards Sally, looked into her eyes, and said coldly.

"Really? You don't know why I'm calling the wedding off?"

A hint of provocation flashed in Sally's eyes, and then she said innocently.

"What are you talking about, Andrea? How could I know?"

A crisp sound rang out.

I couldn't bear it anymore and slapped her. Then I said coldly.

"Stop asking when you already know the answer."

"What are you doing, Andrea?"

Jeremy rushed over immediately, shielding Sally behind him. She looked at me with tears in her eyes and then couldn't help but sob.

"How could you ... hit me..."

Seeing that she was crying, Jeremy was about to step forward to scold me.

"Andrea! You've really gone too far! No matter what, you can't..."

"That's enough, Jeremy!"

Maxwell suddenly coughed loudly and then grabbed Jeremy. Joanna, sensing something off, quickly spoke up.

"Sally, you should leave first. This is a family matter. Although you are Jeremy's secretary and friend, we might still ask you to leave first."

Sally looked at Joanna, then at Maxwell, and stomped her foot. Then she left in a huff.

Jeremy still wouldn't let me off.

"Andrea! Good for you! How dare you hit my secretary! You ran away from the wedding and are so arrogant! I'm glad I didn't marry you!

"Whoever marries you will be the unluckiest man in the world!"

"Jeremy! Shut up!"

Joanna scolded, but Jeremy ignored her and continued.

"If you regret it now, too late. I no longer want to marry you!"

He was so ridiculous. Since he was like this, I didn't need to save him any dignity.

"I regret it? How come I didn't realize before that you were so full of yourself, Jeremy?"

Jeremy's eyes widened instantly, and I slapped the table.

"How dare you accuse me? Whoever marries you will be the unluckiest woman in the world! Which bride would find someone else's lace panties in the seam of the wedding bed the day before the wedding? The panties aren't mine, are they? I had no idea you were into such things, Jeremy!"
