Chapter 7

Penulis: Perfect Timing
I could only gaze at Nathan helplessly. But he just passed the paper bag he was carrying to me instead.

"Hmm?"

I accepted the bag before peeking into it. It was a white wedding dress. The moment I laid my eyes on it, I was shell-shocked.

"Why did you—"

"I saw it in Shell City. As soon as I spotted it, I knew that it suited you right away. Go change into it. You'll be the most stunning bride today."

After that, Nathan pushed me into my room and urged me to wear the wedding dress.

As I gazed at my unfamiliar reflection in the mirror, I felt a little dazed. This dress was a lot fancier than the one I had ordered from the tailor.

I looked at myself from all angles. Clothes could really elevate a person's appearance. Even I looked beautiful in such a nice dress.

As soon as I exited my room, Nathan smiled at me instantly. He praised me sincerely, "You look absolutely stunning!"

Then, he opened the car door and helped me into the car. With a heavy heart, I followed Nathan to Crown R

    Catherine's parents died in a flash flood. My father adopted her, seeing as she was his older brother's daughter.Alas, Catherine was wildly ambitious and wished to achieve great heights by relying on her beauty. In my previous life, Catherine died a shameful death. She was caught cheating by her husband, who was a manual worker at the time. After she gave birth to their bastard son, she was beaten to death.Seth somehow received the news via an unknown outlet. He was able to whisk the baby away secretively.As for me, I became the idiot who eventually raised Catherine's son. To make things worse, that ingrate was the one who killed me in the end.After sending Catherine to the police station, I hurried toward the hospital.Thank goodness Nathan was fine. When he woke up, I thought he'd get mad at me. After all, he got hurt because of my old crush on Seth.Weirdly enough, Nathan was the one consoling me. He didn't mind getting stabbed for no reason; if anything, he treated me

    Although Seth was immobilized, he was still determined to crawl in my direction."Callista, I was wrong! Please don't marry someone else! I'll change my ways! Really, I'll do it!"My mother couldn't stomach Seth's words anymore. She didn't hesitate to deliver a heavy slap across Seth's face on the spot."Haven't you bullied my poor Callista enough? What sort of nefarious scheme do you have in mind for you to cause chaos on her big day? "Haven't you trampled all over Callista's pride enough? Not only did you order her around constantly, but you also made her do your laundry during winter! What's worse is that you even humiliated her in front of everyone else!"Did you seriously think that I'd be nice to you if not for the fact that my daughter had a crush on you?"When my mother brought up the ordeals that I was forced to endure in the past, her eyes reddened instantly. I was her precious daughter. Even though the villagers kept pestering my mother to give birth to a son in ord

    But Nathan's bangle made me feel inferior. I didn't think I could ever present him with the watch I bought for him.I was carrying the box at first, but now I have hidden it behind my back. Still, Nathan spotted my panicked action. A knowing smile soon traced his lips.His baritone—deep and pleasant to the ear—drifted into my ear, but his words made me blush furiously."Is this a wedding gift that you've prepared for me, Callista?"I lacked the courage to look into his eyes, so I nodded demurely.Nathan chuckled softly before extending a hand to me. "Please put it on for me, Callista."I knew that Seth and his friends were watching my every move. Without hesitating, I presented the watch that I had spent a long time picking out at the department store. The moment my cold fingertips made contact with Nathan's warm skin, I could feel a surge of heat passing through me. For some reason, that heat strummed a tender heartstring from within.The length of the watch's straps surprisi

    Loud, deep rumbling noises soon boomed from the exterior of my courtyard. The noises instantly attracted everyone's attention.They could see nine cars being parked outside my house. Almost immediately, the originally boisterous atmosphere became eerily silent.When Nathan's men moved brand-new electrical appliances such as a fridge, television, and washing machine—which were still tied up in red ribbons—into the courtyard, someone gasped out loud. The silence was instantly broken."Is… Is that a television?"People who were more well-versed in technology were quick to educate others about the appliances. These appliances were the three major wedding gifts prepared by the city folk. On the other hand, the villagers still thought of bicycles, watches, and sewing machines as the three major gifts needed in a wedding.If the groom could fork out enough cash for a bicycle, his financial situation was considered to be very decent. Since Nathan provided my family with a fridge, a tele

    I stumbled toward the river on all fours. The first thing I did was scoop up water from the river and begin splashing it onto my face. The ice-cold water managed to wash away the remnants of the pollen that clung to my nasal cavity.The incident earlier made me lose all hope in Seth. Thank goodness he wasn't the one I'd be marrying in this lifetime.After panting heavily for a long time, I finally got up to my feet. My wedding dress was already torn. Coupled with the fact that Catherine had already worn it, I no longer wanted it.Tomorrow would be my wedding. I needed to go home and look for any other garment that suited the occasion. I didn't want to give Nathan the impression that I didn't care about the wedding at all.As soon as I reached the front door of my house, I could hear Catherine's breathy moans. Through the window, I could see her looking very dazed and euphoric. Seth assumed the top position and continued to thrust away without a care in the world.Although I alre
