Turning My Back on Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

I couldn't understand. I was the girlfriend George was in a relationship with for years, yet why did I have to let Winona have the wedding plan I'd painstakingly worked on? Why did I have to let Winona have the wedding dress I'd personally designed?Last but not least, why did I have to let Winona have George?I couldn't stop myself from crying, but I did bite the back of my hand to muffle any sounds I made.After a while, I took several deep breaths to calm down.I kept telling myself that the quicker I finished packing, the sooner I could leave.That night, I was already asleep when cold fingers reached out to touch my waist. When I opened my eyes, George's eyes were staring right into mine.He spoke in a low voice, sounding rather pitiful. "Mary, I can't sleep alone."When I remained silent, he moved his head closer.At that moment, his phone, which he had placed beside his pillow, lit up. The light coincidentally illuminated the love bite on his neck, making it appear gla

Winona's expression changed before she came over to me, the hem of her wedding dress trailing behind her. There was an aggrieved look on her face as she said, "Mary, are you here to snatch George away?"She grabbed my arm, her voice sounding like she was about to cry as she pleaded, "I promise that once the baby is born, I'll return George to you, so please, can you not ruin my wedding? I beg you!"I extricated my arm from her grip. "You're overthinking it."Nonetheless, Winona refused to leave me alone. George also approached, his brow furrowed deeply."George, I don't want a wedding anymore. Have Mom and Dad tell everyone that the wedding is canceled." As Winona spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks.Frowning harder, George yanked me aside to reprimand me. "Mary, can you please stop being so insensitive? Stop agitating Winnie. Rest assured, I'll marry you, so don't do something as foolish as crashing the wedding."A sense of bitterness welled in me, but I simply turned and headed

At this point, I couldn't stand it any longer. I was human, after all, and I had my limits!George frowned and reached forward to grab my arm, but Jonah stepped in his way.Expression darkening, George growled, "Get out of the way!"Before Jonah could respond, I spoke up first. "George, what Jonah said earlier was the truth. You have no right to ask him to step aside because he's my fiancé."George took a step back, staring at me in disbelief. A lost and helpless look flashed in his eyes, but then he shook his head. "Mary, you're still angry with me, aren't you? You're deliberately using this man to piss me off, right? I can apologize! I'm sorry, Mary, so please stop saying he's your fiancé. You can only ever be my wife!"I laughed mockingly and pointed a finger at Winona. "Your wife is Winona Sunther, and she's right there!"George grew agitated and yelled, "Mary, my marriage to Winnie is fake. I told you this already. You have to believe me!"Winona waddled over with a hand on

All this had come too late.If he had only just conceded to me even once, I might have chosen to wait for him.If he had fulfilled even one of the promises he had made, I would have been delighted.If he had bothered to even listen to my side of the story whenever Winona and I had a conflict, we wouldn't have come to this.Unfortunately, there was no changing the past, and I was grateful for that.Now, no matter if it was the wedding ring, dress, or even the wedding itself, I no longer wanted anything from George. After all, I now had a man who genuinely put his heart into preparing something special for me, just to create something uniquely for us.The only thing I needed to do was say whether I liked it or not. I didn't need to compromise, nor did I have to give it away to someone else.Upon hearing my words, George seemed to freeze on the spot. Like he had lost his soul, his eyes gradually dimmed."Mary, can we really not start over? Please give me one more chance! I promise
