Husband Ran to His Ex-girlfriend and Died on the Way
Chapter 2
After the funeral, I had no choice but to return to my parents' home.
But I hadn't seen them in a long time.
What was more, I was pregnant.
My family members just wanted me to get married again as soon as possible.
It was at this time that Elise Duncan proposed to me.
I rejected him at first.
But he said he knew my situation. He said, "I have had a crush on you for many years. I want to give you a home. And the child needs a father when he grows up."
He took me directly to meet his family and friends to show his serious attitude.
I was already homeless.
And he was right about one thing.
Besides myself, I also have to think about my baby.
Therefore, I accepted his proposal.
With his company, I gradually healed my wounds.
It was our wedding day.
Sara, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, came uninvited.
The first thing she did was to make me escape from the marriage.
She was so shameless.
"You have to get married today, right?"
When I came to my senses, all I could hear was her voice.
"You said you love my son. You said I slandered you. But you want to marry someone else."
She raised her eyes and asked with contempt.
"Is this how you prove that you are pregnant with Bob's child?"
My heart ached.
The child was slandered as having unknown origins before he was even born.
I spent many a midnight dream wondering if I was too useless as a mother.
My child was bullied just when it was still in my belly.
"How do you want me to prove it?" I heard myself ask softly.
Sara thought I had given in and looked at me smugly.
"You should be a widow for my son all your life."
...
I was amused by her words.
I reminded her, "In the beginning, you were the one who asked me to leave in front of everyone."
"I was testing you. But you couldn't stand it."
Sara replied confidently, even threatening me.
"If you don't come with me today, it means you have something to hide. I will make you pay for it."
I had been bullied by her for years.
She thought I would be obedient as always, so she glanced around and took a few steps.
I glanced at her hand and quickly looked away.
"Well."
Sara looked at me with disdain without a doubt.
I was expected to compromise.
She pushed the door open confidently and walked out with a swagger.
This room was located at the end of the corridor on the second floor of the hotel. She specially selected it.
As I was walking through the lobby, I suddenly bumped into a guest.
"Carol, where did you go just now? I've been looking for you for a long time."
The noise was a bit loud. The bridesmaid noticed me. "Where's your wedding dress? Why did you take it off?"
The guests all looked over here.
"I lost my necklace and it's hard to find it in my wedding dress," I answered without thinking.
"What? It was just on the dressing table." The bridesmaid's voice suddenly became louder.
That necklace was specially made for me by Elise's mother. It was valuable.
Elise and his mother also rushed over after hearing the noise.
At this moment, I glanced at Sara and spoke cautiously.
"I just saw her take something from the table and put it in her pocket."
The meaning of the words was self-evident.
Everyone suddenly turned to Sara.
Sara didn't expect me to suddenly attack her, and she yelled, "Don't talk nonsense. I didn't take your things."
But her panicked eyes betrayed her.
Someone among the guests recognized her.
She had always been strong, so naturally there were people who didn't like what she did and immediately suggested.
"We will know if you take it out and show us."
"Yes, it's a wedding day. Don't miss the time."
"It's not a big deal. If you really didn't take it, Carol would apologize to you. What are you afraid of?"
When someone spoke, others agreed.
"How do you think?"
She was speechless and could only stare at me.
I ignored the threat in her eyes, thought about it carefully, and gave an answer.
"I guess I'm not mistaken."
Sara thought I couldn't see her from that angle, so she took the necklace I had placed on the table before I had time to put it on.
"If you are upright, you have nothing to fear. If it wasn't you who took it, I will apologize to you." I added.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her.
