A Bride Rewritten Chapter 21
"Thank you for being willing to build a family with me."Tears immediately slipped down Julia's cheeks.During that year, she had taken such good care of me that sometimes I felt like none of it could be real.However, every morning, when I woke up and saw her beside me, I knew it was not a dream.The pregnancy was rough. Julia was constantly sick, and I lost weight right along with her.Mom could not stand watching us."The one who is pregnant is Julia."Why do you look more exhausted than she does?"I answered seriously, "Because I feel bad for her."Mom turned away and wiped her tears.Later, our baby was born.A little girl.I held her in my arms, my eyes redder than I could remember.Julia lay weakly in the hospital bed."Who does she look like?"I looked at our daughter. Then I looked at Julia."Like you."You are both beautiful."She laughed and accused me of being biased.I leaned down and kissed her forehead."I have always been biased toward you."At that

"Wherever he is, that is where my home will be."Tears slipped down my cheeks.The officiant turned to me."Do you take Ms. Julia Lawson to be your wife?"I looked at her, and suddenly, so many memories came rushing back.I remembered the final minute at the County Clerk's Office, when she held out her hand to me. I remembered the slippers she had left in the car, the warm water she brought me that night when I had a fever, and the umbrella she always tilted toward me whenever we walked through the rain.All those little things came rushing back at once.Every time she asked me, "Is this okay?"I finally smiled."I do."Applause filled the beach, and even the sound of the waves seemed gentle.As we exchanged rings, I spotted someone standing at the very back of the crowd.Melissa.She wore a black dress, her face pale. She did not come closer or make a scene. She simply stood there and watched from a distance.The moment I slipped the ring onto Julia's finger, Melissa low

The third picture was from the day she agreed to marry me. I had been so happy that my eyes were red.Those photos were like an old knife. They were not as sharp anymore, but they could still remind me of the pain.Melissa's voice broke."Zane, I really was happy back then. I just didn't realize it."I always thought you'd never leave."I always thought I could make it up to you somehow. I was so terribly wrong."I looked at the photo album. After a long silence, I finally said, "Melissa, you were happy."I was not."She froze.I continued."You thought I'd wait, but every time I waited for you, I was becoming a little more disappointed."Seven years didn't end all at once. They ended a little more every single day."Tears slipped down her cheeks."Did you ever have a hard time letting me go?"I did not lie to her."I did."Before the day we got the marriage license, I could never let you go."A small light appeared in her eyes. However, my next words extinguished it.

She was not very good at saying sweet things. However, she handled every little detail with care.When I worked late, she would bring me a late-night snack and wait downstairs at the office.Once, I casually mentioned that I was craving roasted pecans. She drove halfway across the city to get them for me.When my stomach started acting up, she would make plain oatmeal ahead of time. My medicine and a glass of warm water were always waiting beside it.She never asked when I would fall in love with her.She never pressured me for an answer. Instead, she simply stayed by my side, quietly helping me piece my broken sense of security back together.Meanwhile, Melissa continued finding ways to appear in my life.Once, when Julia and I went to take our wedding photos, Melissa was waiting outside the studio. She was holding a bouquet of gardenias.When she saw me walk out in a white suit, she froze.It was simple and perfectly fitted, the clean white fabric standing out against everyt

I was silent for two seconds before saying, "However, I'm not coming back."The light in her eyes slowly faded."Do you really love her that much?"I turned to look at Julia, but she didn't answer for me. Instead, she quietly tilted the umbrella farther over my head, letting half of her own shoulder get soaked by the rain.Something inside me softened at the sight."I'm learning to love her."And I'm sure I don't love you anymore."Melissa looked as if all the strength had been drained from her. The ring box slipped from her hand and rolled into the rainwater. She bent down to pick it up. Her fingers were shaking so badly that she dropped it several times before she finally managed to grab it.In the past, seeing her like that would have broken my heart.Now I only felt that everyone had to pay the price for their own choices.I walked around her and got into the car with Julia.Just before the door closed, Melissa suddenly called my name."Zane!"I turned around.She s

"What did you say?"Melissa's voice was hoarse. "I said get out."From now on, I never want to see you again."Chester shook his head through his tears. "You cannot abandon me."You said I wasn't an outsider."Those were the exact words Melissa had spoken that day at the County Clerk's Office. Those words were what had finally pushed me away.Now she was finally feeling what it was like when the consequences came back around.However, I was no longer standing where she had left me.Julia took my hand."Let’s go."I nodded.Melissa hurried to block my path. "Zane, please give me one more chance."I looked at her. "Melissa, you used up all the chances I gave you a long time ago."Then, I walked past her without stopping or looking back....After that day, Melissa really did cut Chester out of her life.Ryan told me she had Chester transferred out of the Jones family company. She deleted all his contact information and threw away everything he had ever given her.Chester
