I Let My Fiancee Be With My Brother

During the three years I disappeared, I befriended a group of people in a secret research base located abroad.

They were the ones who had rescued me from the ocean and treated my wounds.

It was also while I was there that I rekindled my passion for neuroscience research, which I had abandoned for Louise and my parents. In the previous life, in order to run after Louise’s affection, I gave up on their repeated invitation to join them and stubbornly left. In the end, I died a tragic death.

This time, I was not going to make the same mistake.

“I have no family. I can make my own decisions,” I said calmly into the phone.

The other side remained silent for a while before laughing kindly. “How could you not have any family? We’re your family! Nathan, we’ll always welcome you back home!”

I held my phone tightly and stood in the cold breeze of the night as I laughed from the bottom of my heart. I was set to leave the next day. Coincidentally, that was the day Stanley and Louise were going to throw their wedding again.

I did not sleep, but I was not tired.

The moment the sun was up, I completed the process to transfer all the assets and finished the authorization paperwork. Then, I went to the airport with my luggage bag in hand.

I no longer had anything tying me down to this city.

One second before I stepped on the stairs leading to the plane, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Louise.

[Nathan, the wedding is about to start. Where are you? Come over here right now! Don’t forget that you promised to host our wedding. Don’t let the rumors affect Stanley’s reputation!]

Her bossy tone and the target of her affection were the same as ever.

I snickered as I stared at the message. I did not reply. Instead, I took out my sim card with deft movements and flicked it away.

Goodbye, Louise, and goodbye, my ridiculous and tragic life.

I turned off my phone and boarded the plane without turning back.

Let’s not meet ever again in this vast world.

…

At the same time, Louise was standing by the edge of the hall in the wedding venue with a face red with rage as she called and called the number that no longer worked.

Stanley was wringing his fingers uneasily while wearing a suit. He started tearing up again. “Louise, do you think that Nathan is refusing to come because he’s still mad at us? Why don’t we complete the ceremony first?”

“He won’t. He’ll come,” Louise comforted him as her gaze turned even darker.

She was sure that Nathan was still using this method to throw a tantrum and catch her attention. Then, just like countless times in the past, as long as she kept a firm attitude, he would concede in the end.

Just then, her assistant ran into the hall with panic on her face.

“Bad news, Miss York! Mr. Nathan has gone missing!”

Louise’s eyes flew wide in shock. “What?”

“The legal department of the company also received a notice that Mr. Nathan has transferred all his shares away through a foreign channel!”
