You Don’t Want Me Marrying Someone Else
You Don’t Want Me Marrying Someone Else
ผู้แต่ง: Mint Soda

Chapter 1

ผู้เขียน: Mint Soda
My words instantly set the private room abuzz with excitement.

Everyone started congratulating us all at once.

“You’re something else! You really tried to keep something this big from us!”

“Exactly. We have to be there to share the happiness of our campus couple.”

“I knew it. With how much Harper loves Jayden, she must have wanted to marry him ages ago. Eugene’s just an outsider. He clearly got it wrong.”

The last comment hit Eugene Rowe the hardest. He could not sit there any longer.

He shot to his feet, excused himself, and left the room.

After he left, the conversation naturally shifted to him.

“Come to think of it, Eugene was Harper’s number one admirer back in school. It looks like he’s finally given up.”

“Well, he had no choice. Everyone in school knew Harper and Jayden were childhood sweethearts and deeply in love. Eugene never stood a chance. Right, Harper?”

Harper Langley took my hand naturally while smiling with gentle certainty.

“Of course. I’ll only ever marry Jayden.”

Her words sounded like the sweetest of promises, but I alone knew the truth behind them.

The hand she had on my waist tightened without her realizing it, and her gaze kept flicking toward the door as she spoke.

I pulled her away and looked at her calmly.

“Go to him if that’s what you want.”

Harper froze for a moment.

“What are you talking about? Why should I go to Eugene?”

I said nothing. I merely looked down and pressed lightly at the spot on my hand where her nails had dug in.

She sighed and edged closer to me, wearing a soft, helpless smile.

“Are you upset?

“Eugene is my assistant. He sees me working around the clock every day. He knows I truly don’t have time for marriage right now, which is why he said that.

“I know getting married has always been your wish. That’s why I didn’t call you out when you lied to everyone earlier. Let’s call it even, okay?”

Eight years ago, Harper had wished to marry me as soon as possible.

But somehow, she spoke of it as if marriage had been my wish and mine alone.

I gave a faint smile.

“I didn’t lie.”

My voice was soft, but every word reached Harper clearly.

“I’m getting married at the beginning of next month.”

    Still bristling with fury, Paul and Susan pointed at the door and told her to get out.Harper got up silently. With the red mark still visible on her face, she left and returned to the home she once shared with Jayden.Everything in the house was still in place: the matching mugs in the bathroom, the childish Minion slippers, and the cartoon fridge magnets.All remnants of Jayden lingered, but he would never return.Harper drifted back into the bedroom like a hollow shell. She hugged the stuffed toy they had brought together tightly as tears streamed down her face.On the day of Jayden’s wedding, Harper still attended.She wanted to see him one last time.Paul and Susan had ultimately given her the invitation after she had pleaded with them for a full day and promised not to disrupt the wedding.At the venue, she did not dare show herself, as many of the guests were her friends and former classmates.Worried that her presence might cause trouble, she stayed in a quiet corner a

    “W-What? You’re getting married?”Susan stared at the wedding invitation in shock. Her voice was filled with disbelief.Mom explained gently, “After Jayden and Harper broke up, a friend of mine happened to mention she had a niece and asked if Jayden would be willing to meet her. “He’d been cooped up at home for days, so I took it upon myself to agree. I just wanted him to go out and clear his head.“I didn’t expect them to click so well, and they ended up setting the wedding date.”I froze for a moment.My mind pieced it all together, and I understood Mom’s intention. She did not want Paul and Susan to harbor any resentment toward me.After all, Harper was their daughter.Paul and Susan were no fools.They had watched Harper and me grow up, so they understood the nature of our relationship.Since Harper had refused to explain the reason for our breakup, they had already formed their own conclusions.Harper had most likely done something to hurt me, which explained why I end

    After returning home, I buried myself in wedding preparations again.The wedding was only ten days away. Isla had already taken care of almost everything, and I only needed to confirm a handful of details.I thought Harper would stay away after I had cleared things up with her that day.To my surprise, she showed up at my door with her parents, Paul and Susan Langley.Mom glanced at the three of them waiting outside and hesitated, unsure whether she should invite them in.Our families had been neighbors for years. Their family did not move to another part of town until we were in high school. Even after that, Mom and Susan remained close and stayed in touch regularly.On top of that, I never told Mom the real reason Harper and I broke up. I did not want to upset her, so I had simply told her we were not right for each other.As far as she knew, Harper and I had ended things amicably.I pressed my lips together before telling Mom to invite them inside.My breakup with Harper wa

    I slowly pulled my hand away and regarded her with calm detachment.“That’s enough, Harper. It’s over between us.”Harper shook her head desperately. “No! Jayden, I can’t stand by and watch you become another woman’s husband. You wanted to get married, didn’t you?”She seized my hand as if possessed and tried to drag me out of the private room.“Let’s go get our marriage license right now. Tomorrow, I’ll start planning the wedding. I’ll take care of everything. You just need to be the groom-to-be. Yes, let’s go now.”Just as I was about to break free, Eugene appeared at the doorway.“Harper, Jayden is about to marry someone else. Why can’t you just let him go?“Besides, you promised me you wouldn’t get married for five years. You just said you wouldn’t break your word. Are you going back on it now?”Harper’s gaze toward Eugene no longer carried the earlier complexity or reluctance. Only coldness and disgust remained.“Get lost. From this moment on, you’re fired. Jayden would

  • You Don’t Want Me Marrying Someone Else   Chapter 7

    Harper staggered back a few steps.She finally realized that it was not lingering anger that had kept me from contacting her over the past two weeks.It was because I had chosen to tie the knot with someone else after learning why she had turned me down.However, she had foolishly believed I was still upset and even planned to use this class reunion as a chance to reconcile with me.But it was already too late.“Jayden, I was wrong.”Even during the hardest and most exhausting days of building her business, Harper had never cried. Yet, her eyes were already brimming with tears.She clasped my hand helplessly, her voice small and pleading.“I… I just felt sorry for Eugene. He spent years chasing after me without ever getting a response. But I don’t love him. You’re the one I’ve always loved.”As though afraid I would not believe her, she quickly pulled out her phone.“Look. Our photo has always been my wallpaper. I’ve never changed it.”Then, she entered her lock screen passw

  • You Don’t Want Me Marrying Someone Else   Chapter 6

    Harper stood frozen in place while staring at me in disbelief.“Jayden, what did you just say?”I observed the panic she could not conceal in her gaze.“I said we broke up, and I’m getting married to someone else at the beginning of next month,” I repeated calmly.Harper staggered back a few steps. Her voice shook.“No… that’s impossible. When did we break up? I won’t accept this. We’ve been together for eight years. How could you marry someone else?”As she spoke, a flicker of hope appeared in her eyes. She stepped forward and grabbed my wrist.“You’re saying this because I didn’t accept your proposal on our anniversary, aren’t you? You’re lying to upset me.”I almost laughed at how absurd it sounded.How could I be lying when I had already printed the invitations?She was simply refusing to accept reality.I wrenched myself free from her grip and shoved the invitation page with the bride and groom’s names in front of her.“Do you see it clearly now? It’s right here on the
