On The Wedding Day, I Chose The Groom Again!

I agreed to meet Isaac at nine in the morning, so I got up at seven and quickly tidied up before heading downstairs for breakfast. As I walked down the stairs, I heard voices coming from below.

In the living room sat my mother, whom I hadn't seen all night, exuding an air of dignity. My father was away on a business trip, busy with work, and not around.

He’d been occupied lately to push things to next Wednesday.

Sitting next to my mother was Leo, who didn't answer my calls yesterday.

I paused at the top of the stairs, hesitant to go down.

Ms. Wood spotted me and waved, "Come down. What are you doing standing there?"

I slowly descended, my gaze brushing over Leo.

Suddenly, I recalled that he had mentioned yesterday he would be getting the marriage certificate again today.

My heart sank as I made my way down.

Ms. Wood looked me up and down, her expression quickly turning sour. "Change your clothes after eating."

Before I could respond, Leo chimed in with a smile, "It's fine, Auntie. Nora can wear whatever she wants. She looks good in anything."

His words made me chuckle despite the situation. I remembered the information I had gathered during my investigation. The girl’s name was Nina. She was Leo’s secretary, and they had been together last year. I, his fiancée who had been engaged to him for three years, only discovered his infidelity three months ago.

Leo had even bought her a swanky apartment in the city center.

I had been so oblivious while he was off on what I thought were business trips, which turned out to be rendezvous with Nina.

I felt a mix of anger and foolishness as I considered my options for retaliation.

But what could I do? Even if I stayed out of it, Nina wouldn’t have been accepted into the Carter family. Leo’s mother even looked down on me, not to mention Nina, who came from a humble background.

“Leo, what did you do yesterday?” I asked, my tone serious.

After getting home last night, I received a photo of Leo in a bathrobe, peeling shrimp.

The sender hadn’t revealed their identity, but I knew what they wanted.

He claimed he had an accident on the way to register for our marriage, but in reality, he was busy preparing a meal for Nina and had no time to marry.

I blinked back tears, feeling a tightness in my chest as Ms. Wood interjected, “Nora, Leo is busy with work; you need to be more understanding.”

Before Leo could defend me, Ms. Wood scolded me on his behalf.

In her eyes, I should wait patiently to become Mrs. Carter.

“Oh,” I replied casually, forcing a smile as I took out my phone to see if Isaac could come over now. After receiving a positive response, I said nonchalantly, “I already told you yesterday, it's over.”

With that, I turned to leave. “I have something to do today, so I’ll head out first. Have a good time.”

I walked out without looking back, but Ms. Wood realized what was happening and shouted after me, “Nora! What the hell are you talking about?”

I didn’t want to hear from her. So I just quickened my pace and left.
