The wedding was warm and intimate.

The officiant, Carl, stepped up to the couple at the host's invitation.

"I watched Wendy grow up since she was a child. Many years ago, I looked forward to attending her wedding, and today, that day has finally come," he said.

Carl glanced at the smiling guests below, then suddenly shifted his tone.

"But what I didn’t expect was that when the wedding day came, the groom wouldn’t be him."

Wendy’s smile froze. "Uncle Carl, you..."

"Before delivering my speech, I have another task to complete," said Carl, turning off the microphone and handing a document to her.

The moment Wendy glanced at the document, her hand froze.

It was a divorce agreement.

Her heart was gripped by inexplicable panic, but she reassured herself. It had to be fake—James couldn’t possibly bring himself to divorce her.

Considering the construction period and preparation time, it will coincide perfectly with your recovery."James leaned on Jessica's belly and listened."Be good and don't make Mommy too tired, okay?""It's still too small to understand your words." Jessica pinched his ear and teased, "Are you silly?""I've never managed a hospital before. Do you think I can do it?"James flipped through the documents in his hands. "I need to learn more about hospital management.""Take away that 'do you think' part." Jessica smiled as she took the documents from him. "I have great confidence in my husband.""There's no rush about the hospital. Your top priority now is to take care of me and the baby."

    The roar of the engine echoed through the sky as the black car sped like the wind, racing toward the hospital."Ah—"Wendy’s eyes were bloodshot as she slammed the steering wheel with force.James’s words lingered in her ears.The thought of her suspicions brought a flood of anger and pain to her heart.The tires screeched against the road as she pressed the accelerator to the floor, her body trembling uncontrollably.If what James said was true...Then what had she been doing all this time?For a futile, illusory hope, she had destroyed her own home with her own hands!The rising sun illuminated her bloodless face as she approached the hospital, unable to suppress her emotions any longer.Sean sat in the ward, looking haggard.Ever since his affair had been exposed, followed by arguments with Wendy and his face being disfigured, not a single thing had gone his way.Wendy was his only hope for the rest of his life.What did it matter if she hated him or didn’t want to marr

    James wanted to register their marriage in Jelaston.Having grown up there, he had a special attachment to the city.At his insistence, he chartered a plane for Jessica.“There’s no need to be so nervous. I feel fine,” said Jessica, walking ahead with a relaxed stride while James followed closely behind, pushing their luggage with a tense expression.By the time their vehicle left the airport, night had fallen.Snowflakes began drifting down from the sky.The car’s heater was on high, but Jessica suddenly felt stuffy and cracked the window slightly to let in some fresh air.A car's headlights pierced through the snow ahead. As the two vehicles passed each other, a familiar profile flashed by in an instant.Screech—The sudden sound of brakes shattered the quiet of the road.The black car came to a halt, snowflakes accumulating on its roof.Wendy’s heart raced as she lowered her window and stared at the rearview mirror.Cold wind rushed into the car, and her eyes began to bu

    "I have already booked the plane tickets, we leave tomorrow."Jessica was in an excellent mood, swinging James’s hand back and forth.The White family’s old home was originally in Jeswood, but ever since Jessica’s mother had surgery, the entire family had relocated to Norwea permanently.Jessica’s mother, Anna White, loved Norwea’s scenery. The tranquility and distance from the bustle were also good for her health."Are we heading straight to Norwea?""No, we’ll visit other places first, and then go visit your family afterwards."James’s eyes were full of affection, and he indeed followed through with this plan.During the following days, they visited many places. They went to Edinton, strolling on cobblestone streets and admiring medieval architecture.They went to Prost, danced in the sunset on the square, and ate delicious ice cream.Together, they traveled to numerous destinations, and their final stop was Norwea.This was the perfect time of year in Norwea to view the au

    Sean’s once-prized handsome face was disfigured.The hardware on that luxury-brand bag was incredibly sturdy. Coupled with the full force used to strike him, the wound was deep enough to expose bone.Wendy spared no expense, pouring a fortune into treatment, but scarring was inevitable.“The wound has been stitched up, but even with current cosmetic procedures, it can’t be fully repaired.”Jessica shook her head as she read the message from a friend back in the homeland.You reap what you sow.“What’s going on?”James approached, holding a cup. “Who sent you a message?”“My family,” said Jessica, curling up on the sofa and intertwining her fingers with his.“They heard that you agreed to be with me and want to meet you.”She lifted his hand and kissed the back of it. “I’ve been single for so many years, they were almost losing their minds. Now that I have you, they’re overjoyed.”“Meeting the family already?” James teased with a laugh. “Do you like me that much?”Jessica ra
