All Chapters of Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Jace's POV:Lady Nancy was still seated on her dining chair, which was previously next to mine until Luca came with a chair and separated us."It's fine, Celine. I didn't want you to leave, but I am certain that you will not run away again," Lady Nancy said, to which Celine shook her head and replied, "I wouldn't run away, Mom.""Alright. Take care of yourself, my grandson, and my in-law, and send my regards to Clara at the station. Tell her that I miss her too, and wish for her to repent," Lady Nancy added, sounding solemn as Celine walked out to meet me."Alright, Mom, Dad. I will send your message to Clara. Goodbye, Mom and Dad," Celine waved goodbye to her mother before she went to hug her father once more.Mr. Morris smiled as he sat on the chair next to his wife."Take care, Celine. Come, let me escort you all outside," Mr. Morris rose to his feet to see us out of the house, and Luca washed his hands in a bowl of water and came to join us outside, except for Celine's mother.We

Clara's POV:"Jace, won't you say hello to Clara?" Celine asked, walking over to meet Jace. He rolled his eyes and looked at me, pinning me with that sharp gaze of his."I forgive her, only if she has forgiven you. Besides, it's all her fault. She shouldn't have lied to me and made me sleep with you. If she had told me, then maybe I wouldn't have touched you," Jace shamelessly pulled Celine closer to his chest and kissed her lips in front of me.Unlike before, I didn't feel sad or betrayed seeing them share a kiss. I continued to watch them until they broke from the kiss and I said, "I hold no grudge against you, Jace, and I have learnt my lesson the hard way. I am sure you are the one sending me to jail, as I know my sister wouldn't."Jace didn't deny it and replied, "Yes. But you are at fault. So the police are the ones who have to deal with you, but I already pleaded on your behalf. Hopefully, you won't spend a long term in jail. We have to go now, and Celine and I would like you t

Jace's POV:As I drove my car to the hospital address that Celine showed me on her phone screen, I didn't want to tell her the major truth. I knew that Clara wouldn't be easily granted bail. Not that I didn't try, but she colluded with kidnappers, and if she was not punished, then I am sure that she would find it hard to repent and might hurt Celine again.While Celine might be soft at heart, Clara was a ruthless woman, and she needed tough handling, not just forgiveness.When I saw Clara at the interrogation room, she had looked at me with pure anger and hatred. Yeah, I knew that Clara despised me because I chose her sister over her. But who was to be blamed for it? Clara presented her twin sister for me to wed, and I couldn't cheat on her sister.I accepted my mistake that I had an affair with Clara initially, but she was not my wife. I believe in staying loyal to my wife. So the mistake was Clara's, and she should deal with it for messing with me and taking my loyalty for granted.

Celine's POV:The day rolled by quickly and night arrived. I was having trouble falling asleep as I lay on the bed next to Jace."What's wrong, my love?" Jace asked me with his deep baritone voice."Um, nothing. I am just worried," I replied, covering myself properly with the duvet. The time was past 10 p.m., yet I was still having trouble falling asleep.I was in the top-floor room with Jace, thinking about the court case that would occur the following day."You don't have to worry. No matter what happens, just know that I will be here to support you," Jace said as he lay on the bed behind my back. His right arm was wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to his chest.Taking a swift turn on the bed, I peered at Jace's face and asked him, "Did you contact the chief judge to release Clara?""Babe, I did, and the judge said we should wait until tomorrow's court hearing. Do not forget that this isn't only about you, but about the other people that Clara has dealt with too," Jace repl

Jace's POV:Seeing Celine's broken form made me uncomfortable. I could see the hurt in her face that she was barely holding back.Silent tears slipped down her cheeks as the jury sentenced Clara to five years' imprisonment.Celine had almost slumped down, but thankfully I was standing next to her and I caught her slim frame as the judge dismissed the court, while Clara was being escorted by the prison officers."Clara," Celine wanted to go and meet her twin, as Clara wore an expressionless face.Clara didn't appear hurt. Her face wasn't conveying her broken heart."Celine, I hope that you're happy now that Clara is going to jail!" Lily came forward and yelled at Celine."Stand back!" I warned Lily, shielding Celine from her."Are you not ashamed, Senator Jace? I can remember how you vividly asked Clara out to be your woman. Don't you have any sympathy? How can Clara spend five years in jail? How can you?" Lily yelled, but I didn't bother to look at her as Celine rushed out to find her
