He Stood Me Up, so I Married His Brother Chapter 11
The video recording showed Roxie walking into the civil office while laughing, "I'll make sure to record the moment of happiness between Simon and Elena today."After 10 minutes, the video showed her hugging her stomach while making Simon choose between us.Terence did not kick her out of the family. All he did was take back her driver and condo, and forced her to live life independently, while Simon was no longer at her beck and call. It was not the love of a family that she lost, but rather, her privilege of parading around as a victim. She had planned to edit the video to post as her daily update on social media, but when her team watched the material, they went against her ideas for the first time.The staff member in charge of editing asked her bluntly, "Why didn't you get someone to accompany you in advance when you knew they were about to get married that day?"Roxie had no answer to the question. Advertisement clients started pulling out of her channels as her persona o

"Elena didn't stop Simon from taking care of Roxie. She just stopped waiting for her own sake. You have the right to ask for your daughter to be cared for, but you don't have the right to ask another person to always make way for her."Melinda turned pale, while Terence looked at Simon. "Why didn't you just get married first?"Simon lowered his head. "I thought Elena would wait for me."Terence closed his eyes. It was not until now that he realizedthat this was not a decision that had been made brashly.Jamie returned to sit by my side. "I didn't take anyone from anybody, Dad. Elena came to me. She chose me, and for that, I won't let anyone make her turn away from her choice."I looked at him, feeling touched by his words. I had been working hard for the past eight years to prove that I was worthy to be chosen by Simon. It was only now that I realized that I did not need to fight for anything if someone had already chosen me, nor would that person make me wait.My father was sile

"I've given you plenty of chances today. We got medication for Roxie, called a taxi for her, and even my mom was willing to accompany her to the hospital. I gave you a choice, and you chose her. My father gave you a choice, and you still chose her."At the very last minute, I asked you one more time, and you told me in your own words that we could get married on any other day, Simon."Simon's lips trembled. "I just thought—""What did you think?"Simon was silent for a long time before answering hoarsely, "I thought you wouldn't really leave me."His answer was so astoundingly simple that it made me laugh. "You knew that I would feel sad about it, but you thought I would never leave you."Simon stood still, unable to say anything more. That was when more footsteps were heard coming from the corridor. Roxie appeared with Melinda holding onto her. She looked much healthier than when she was at the civil office."Elena, it's true that I have gastritis. You can't blame everything on

Jamie stood up not long after sitting down to speak respectfully to my parents. "Mr. and Mrs. Whitford, I know my decision today has been sudden, but I'm not helping anyone to smooth things over by marrying Elena. Elena will decide when or if we decide to have a wedding ceremony. You may take this time to observe if I'm good enough for her."My father remained stoic. "Isn't it a little too late to do that now that you're both married?"Jamie paused before replying, "I'll accept a long-term probation period."Molly burst out laughing at this, and the tension throughout the day finally vanished. Before our food was served, Jamie showed me a document, and I frowned at it. "What's this?""This is a draft of a prenuptial agreement. You don't have to sign it right now." He pushed the document toward me. "Any of your assets before marriage will belong to you, while any assets we purchase after marriage may belong to us individually. The house, which is under my name, will be transferred t

Roxie did not suffer from any internal bleeding, nor were there any other serious symptoms. When the nurse was cross-checking her medical records, she asked, "Didn't you have an appointment today for a painless gastroscopy? Your appointment was for before 10.30 AM. Why did you arrive so late?"Simon was taken aback. "Did you make the appointment three days ago?"Roxie's expression froze. "I didn't want to do it, Simon. I only came to the hospital for a check-up because my stomach hurt."The nurse lowered her head to check the records. "You've even filled out your family's information in advance. You must be Simon Callum."Simon's name was clearly indicated in the document. He stared at his name and stayed silent for a long time. It was only then that Simon realized that Roxie did not ask him to accompany her because she had sudden gastritis.Roxie had known for three days that someone had to accompany her for a check-up today. She also knew that this was the 27th time Simon and I

Simon followed behind us, but my father stopped him from coming any further. "Their marriage license is in the process of being issued. You should stop harassing my daughter.""She doesn't love my brother, Mr. Whitford," Simon replied hoarsely.My father looked at him. "Did you cherish her when she loved you?"Simon went silent after hearing his reply.We were taking a picture to commemorate our marriage in a small corner. There were two chairs in front of us, and when I sat down, I realized my hair had gotten a little messy from the commotion before. I was about to tidy it when Jamie took out a hairpin adorned with pearls from his suit pocket. I was surprised. "Where did you get this?""I found it last month in the car," he replied casually. I recognized it. I had dropped that hairpin while sitting on the steps outside the civil office when I failed to get my marriage license for the 26th time. That was also the day when Roxie lost her cat, and Simon spent the entire night ou
