My Fiance Teased Me, And I Married Someone Else

“No thanks. Someone else already paid for the photos.”I politely declined his offer. After all, letting another man pay for wedding photos would not be right.Matthew knew he was in the wrong, so he did not get mad.Instead, he grabbed my hand and pulled me outside.“Alright then. Since it’s your birthday, I’ll plan a big surprise for you.”I really did not want to go.After running around all day, I just wanted to sleep.But Matthew held my wrist tightly and would not let go.After leaving the condominium, he took me to a fancy restaurant.I did not go to those places often.They made me feel uncomfortable, and the food portions were way too small for me.When we got to the private room, I saw a bunch of familiar faces.Matthew’s usual group of friends. They were the same ones who had made fun of me earlier.Some of them, the ones who lost their bets, started complaining when they saw me.“Wrenna, how can you be this dumb? He’s tricked you so many times already, and you

Matthew’s sudden yelling shocked me.His eyes were wide and bloodshot.If this had happened before, I would have immediately tried to explain, apologize, and do whatever it took to make him forgive me.But things had changed. He did not matter to me anymore.“Matthew, is this really how you see me?“But it doesn’t matter. We’re already broken up. If I have another man, what’s it to you?“You’re the one who didn’t want to marry me. I can’t just wait around forever.”Once I said this, I thought I had made myself clear.But then Matthew started laughing.He looked at the blazer I wore and seemed to come to an understanding.“I never expected this from you. You thought you could pressure me into marrying you with this?”I frowned. I did not understand what Matthew meant.“You’ve got some taste, trying to fool me with this brand.“But how could you afford such an expensive suit? You probably rented it, didn’t you?“Why do you have to act so desperate? I told you I would marry

As soon as I got into Marco’s car, I could tell he was upset.His face was serious, and he kept tapping the steering wheel with his fingers.I gave a small, awkward laugh. I knew exactly why he was mad.I carefully reached out and tapped his shoulder.“Marco, are you mad?”He did not answer, and his eyes still looked cold.So I tapped his shoulder again, a little harder, and gave him a small smile. Finally, he looked a little less angry.He pulled the car over, leaned over to me, and asked, “Why didn’t you let me help you back there?”I instinctively leaned back against the car door and sat with my knees up.“Because… I caused this. I wanted to deal with it myself. I didn’t want to drag you into it.”Marco let out a short laugh. It sounded like he was experiencing a mixture of amusement and annoyance. He reached over and gently pinched my cheek.“Deal with it yourself? That means you still don’t see me as your husband, do you?”I pressed my lips together and stayed quiet.

On the stage, Marco took the microphone and said, “I’ve always been aware of certain matters. My wife is kind and chooses not to hold grudges, but that doesn’t mean I’ll let people get away with hurting her.”Some people in the audience started to look nervous and scared. I could not help but chuckle.“Alright, today is our wedding day. Let’s not waste time over this.”The rest of the ceremony went smoothly.Later, when toasting Marco’s parents, his mom held my hand warmly. Her eyes were full of tears as she said, “I can’t believe Marco actually found you again after all these years. He’s really lucky.”I looked at him in surprise.As I glanced at Marco, his face slowly reminded me of the little boy I once knew.I smiled playfully at him and joked, “So you were already planning to marry me when we were just kids?”Marco’s face turned a little red.“If your family hadn’t moved away, and I hadn’t lost contact with you, I would’ve made sure you never had to go through all that
