A Heart Misfired Chapter 9
Edward sucked in a sharp breath."So my four years of waiting all came down to a single decision you made."Edward, I never thought you'd be this devoted. Tracy cried and refused to let you marry, so you came up with a plan like this just to torment me."He pressed his lips together, wanting to deny it.However, Julian was standing right beside me. Back when Edward made that suggestion to the King, Julian heard every word.If Edward kept arguing, and things reached the King."Jasmine, what devotion could I possibly have for Tracy?"I just didn't want to hear her cry and make a scene. I thought I'd wait a few years until she grew up, and then-"At that point, he shut his eyes tightly, as if he gave up."I'm sorry. I was confused. I kept thinking she wasn't grown up yet."However, in truth, she already is, and today she even-"I did not want to hear any more.I gave Julian a look. He understood immediately and spoke calmly, "Since you hit Miss Tracy's handkerchief, Mr. Shaw,

I tried everything, thinking that next time, it would finally work.However, I never realized the problem was not the handkerchief.It was the person who owned it.More than that, whether the one holding the gun actually wanted to marry me.A sharp bitterness rose in my throat, but I forced it down."Since you saw me back then, Mr. Brooks, you must also know that I tied my handkerchief there every single year.""It's something everyone in the capital knows. Of course, I know too." Julian gently brushed a crumb from the corner of my lips, his movements soft."If Edward truly married you, I would have been happy for you."However, he didn't.""He made you wait until you were eighteen. Do you expect me to let him waste another year of your life?"I stared into his eyes, dazed for a moment, then could not help reaching out to hold his hand."Thank you.""In the future, we'll be husband and wife. No need to say thank you."He turned his hand over and held mine, giving it a gent

"The groom is someone you know. He is the current King's younger brother, Prince Julian."…Today was my engagement day, but not many people came.Julian Brooks just crushed a violent power struggle. To avoid retaliation from his enemies, the King specifically ordered him to keep a low profile for a few days.Once the one who tried to seize power was eliminated, and all future trouble cut off, our wedding would be arranged.Julian seemed to feel he owed me something, so he added quite a few extra items to the wedding arrangements.After the engagement banquet ended in the afternoon and we were finally alone, he assured me again and again that the wedding would be grand and would not disappoint me.I looked at the endless list of gifts and felt a slight headache coming on."Mr. Brooks, after the wedding, I'll be moving into the Brooks residence. There's nowhere to put all of this."On the wedding day, maybe we shouldn't add anything more. It's better to keep things simple."Ju

She stepped forward again and wrapped her arms around his waist, smiling so wide she could barely close her mouth."When are we getting engaged? Can we do it tomorrow?"I can't wait to marry you. Do you know that? I already dreamed of being your bride the year I came of age. And now it's finally happening!"Tracy was overflowing with excitement, but Edward pushed her away with an icy expression."You're a young lady. Don't cling to me like that."And the person in my heart is Jasmine. She's the only one who can be my bride."Tracy froze for a second, then raised her voice."Then why do you miss every year?"…Edward stiffened. Tracy refused to let it go."You clearly can hit Jasmine's handkerchief, but you choose to miss on purpose. Doesn't that mean you don't want to marry her?"If you don't want to marry her, then you must want to marry me. Otherwise, why would you treat me so well? Every time Jasmine and I argue, you always take my side. It's because you love me more!""

"What nonsense are you talking about!""I haven't even taken my shot this year. Where would an engagement come from?"Edward snapped, his anger bursting out so loudly it drowned out the chatter of the guests.The shooting grounds fell into a tense, suffocating silence.Beside him, Tracy trembled, her thin frame shaking as she spoke through tears,"Edward, could Jasmine be trying to force you into marriage?"Edward's expression darkened even further. He glanced at the empty strip of red silk, then scanned the crowd again, fast and sharp.Still no sign of her.Soon, time was up.However, Jasmine still did not appear.Edward tightened his grip on the reins with his left hand and held out his right.Someone beside him immediately presented a strip of black cloth. With an icy expression, he tied it over his eyes.Then he took the gun, his voice carrying a chill."No more waiting. We begin now."The guests did not quite understand what was happening, but the moment the shooting

I pulled my gaze back and looked down at the wrinkles on my sleeve.A perfectly good dress, ruined by him.Just like everything between us over the years. He ruined that, too."Mrs. Roberts, make a new one overnight. Don't let it delay the engagement banquet."…A day passed, and Tracy still did not come home.By evening, I already hung up the new dress. A maid brought in dinner.I barely took a few bites when Edward walked in, his face icy."Tracy hasn't come back all day, and you're not even looking for her?"My expression stayed calm."In the entire capital, who doesn't know that Miss Tracy stayed at your residence last night?"Mr. Shaw, you had a luxury suite prepared for her. You sent her all kinds of expensive cosmetics and jewelry. Boxes of pearls and gemstones, one after another."Edward let out a low scoff."Tracy's young. It's normal for her to act a little bold.""However, she still cares about you. As her sister, you should be more generous. Take the initiativ
