Marrying Without You のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 171 - チャプター 180

Wendy hung up, and she received the address over text.If it had been anywhere else, Rosalyn probably wouldn't have gone. But the address was a church, and that surprised her.It was already evening and getting dark.The fact that Wendy invited her to a church made Rosalyn, who had been half uninterested, suddenly a bit curious.Curiosity killed the cat, but sometimes people couldn't help themselves. Since it was a church and Rosalyn felt a sense of reverence, she drove over.When Rosalyn arrived, the church was empty. The old lamps along the path glowed dim and solemn. She didn't call Wendy because she saw Wendy's car.Rosalyn followed the path into the church. The smell of burning candles filled the air and brought a calm she had not felt all day. Her tense, strained body relaxed.Julia had lived by prayer. Growing up, Rosalyn had been taken to churches often. Whenever she was sick, Julia would take her to the priest, and more often than not, it helped.For that reason, Rosal

Rosalyn knew exactly what kind of place Wendy was talking about."Then I'm definitely not going!" Rosalyn exclaimed.It didn't matter that she and Eric were basically only married on paper. Even if they were a real couple, she would never trail behind him to catch him cheating.Wendy suddenly burst out laughing. Her voice was bright and pleasant. Not only was she gorgeous and wealthy, but even her laugh was beautiful.Rosalyn just listened. She didn't feel awkward, and she didn't bother wondering why Wendy was laughing at all."Don't you like Eric?" Wendy finally asked once she calmed down.Rosalyn smiled. "Do you think that's funny?""Very. I've known him since we were kids, and I've never met a woman who didn't like him. You're the only one," Wendy said before wiping tears of laughter from her eyes.She still looked gorgeous then.Rosalyn watched Wendy, and for a moment, she realized that if she had been a man, she might have liked Wendy too.But it was only out of apprecia

Daniel received the high resolution clips and photos a moment later and hurried to hand his phone over. "Mr. Hammond, here's a clear version."Sean leaned in before Eric could take a look. Something flashed in the video, and though it was only for a second, he still caught it. "What's someone from the Zahn family doing there?"Sean hadn't seen wrong. What had originally been just Rosalyn and Wendy dominating the riding track now had one more figure in the frame.The brown horse was glossy even under the night sky. The man on its back wore a black riding jacket and crisp white breeches. He leaned into the horse's run, legs tightened against its sides as they moved across the track.It didn't look like he was running laps—it looked like he was crossing open plains.Though Rosalyn and Wendy were in the middle of their race, even they couldn't help glancing over. They exchanged a look, tightened their legs around their horses, and kept pushing for their bet.By the time Eric and Sean

"Haha!" Wendy laughed. "Then what do you think my motives are?"Rosalyn didn't share her cheer. Her expression turned cool."Whatever it is, nobody gets to step into someone else's relationship.""You're right. I crossed a line. Sorry," Wendy said. "Looks like our supper won't happen tonight. I owe you one. Next time. Bye."Wendy left. Rosalyn glanced at the two men in the distance and walked away."Rosalyn, aren't you waiting for Eric?" Sean hurried after her."Why would I wait for him?" Her distant tone made Sean rub his nose awkwardly."You two are married," he said. Then he remembered what he had overheard that night and grinned. "You're the real deal now."Rosalyn frowned and turned around. "What?"Sean cleared his throat. "I'll go get Eric. Just wait a second."He ran off, while Rosalyn stood there and thought about what he said. 'The real deal?'By the time she sensed something was wrong, cars had already boxed her in from both sides. Last time it was Ben's doing. Thi

What was Rosalyn going to say?Would she ask if Eric was in pain?What else could she say?Rosalyn had no idea. She'd been with him for so long, yet this was the first time she'd ever felt like this.This felt awkward. She was completely out of her element and couldn't even look him in the eyes.The feeling was both miserable and also a little embarrassing. Even the way she walked toward him felt solemn."Are you in pain?"Before Rosalyn could decide how to start the conversation, Eric had spoken first.Before his injuries, her tiny scrape didn't even feel worthy of being called a wound. "I'm fine," she said."Come here. Let me take a look." Eric lifted his injured hand and immediately winced in pain.Rosalyn panicked and held him down. "Don't move."The moment she finished speaking, he caught her hand. "If I stay still, you'll start acting up. You used to argue with me over everything, but now, you don't even listen."The way he said it sounded like he was offended."I'm
