My Bride's Ex Came to Elope With Her のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

I looked down at the USB flash drive in my hand, which the emcee had just passed to me. It did not contain the wedding video of Bridget Lindt and me, but a record that filled my heart with sorrow. Bridget never enjoyed cooking. She always claimed that the fumes from the kitchen would damage her skin and age her. She would not have dinner with me either. She always said that cheap meals did not match her taste. However, this USB flash drive hid thousands of domestic moments in the kitchen between Bridget and another man. They had chopped vegetables together and baked together. Every scene was overflowing with sweetness and happiness. The video covered a span of six years, but I had also been in love with Bridget for six years. While I searched for rare ingredients and tried to make gourmet meals to Bridget’s liking, while I worked overtime night after night for the sake of Bridget’s company, while I thought we were weaving a bright future together, she was sharing sweet mo

Vernon looked at her affectionately with unshed tears.At this moment, my heart broke completely and shattered into a million pieces.I laughed. “Is this your first day knowing me? We’ve known each other for ten years, and we’ve been in love for six years. Only now do you feel like you’re settling?”As soon as the company was poised to go public, she was ready to ditch me.However, she did not know that her company was secretly backed by the Houde family’s wealth, which I had mobilized. Furthermore, I had spent a lot of effort in obtaining contracts for her.I wanted to see how her company would function without me!So, I unfurled my clenched fists and held back the tears that I could barely control as I looked at her. “Fine. Let’s cancel the wedding as you wish.” Bridget laughed in exasperation. There was no remorse on her beautiful face.“You said it yourself, so don’t overstay your welcome. Get out of my house now.”Vernon pretended to look at me sympathetically. “Bridge

This made me want to laugh.Everyone talked about Bridget like she was a big shot. And she thought of herself as one too.It did not matter if they kicked me out. It did not matter how much they insulted me.I wanted to see what these bootlickers would do once they realized they had been licking up to the wrong person.When Bridget was with me, she was just an ordinary person.I was the one who gave her my heart and effort. I even went as far as begging my grandfather to use the Houde family’s connections to support her bit by bit in secret.These bootlickers saw Bridget growing, and they injected capital into her company.Back then, I thought that since we were all classmates, I could lend them a hand so that we could get rich together.There was absolutely no need for that anymore.I gripped my cell phone and already had a perfect plan in my mind.At this time, there was a knock on the door.It was my sister, Lucia Houde.“Hubert, can I come in?”Lucia was always so gent

When it came to her and Vernon’s wedding, she cared so much. I smiled softly. “Bridget, if you kick me out now, you’re going to regret it.” Today, I was not here as her ex to steal her away.But Bridget laughed like it was the funniest thing she had ever heard. “I’ll regret it? The only thing I regret is wasting six years on you. Someone, get him out of here!”As soon as she said that, several tall men in black suits approached me.I did not move.Just as they were about to make a move…“I want to see who dares!”A sharp, low voice sounded from behind.I turned around and saw Lucia helping my grandfather toward me.Lucia was wearing a smoky-gray blouse. Her delicate, pretty face looked striking. A pair of black-framed glasses rested on her tall nose.Behind the lenses, her eyes were cold. Bridget’s attitude immediately dropped a notch. “Ms. Houde, Old Mr. Houde, you are both here! This way, please.”Bridget turned into a brown-noser instantly. She addressed them very re

I looked her straight in the eyes and said, “You don’t deserve a quick death.”I kept tabs on Bridget’s condition, but I did not go to see her again.I had more important things to do, like picking up the pieces of the life I lost.I wanted to study art. I want to be a designer.I was going to take charge of Houde's Group.I was learning and growing step by step.I was very happy being single. Unexpectedly, Lucia gave up all her company shares and became my personal assistant.“Hubert, I’ll be tutoring you in the future.”As soon as she said that, the others in the office quietly slipped away.I was left alone with her.Lucia looked at me with such tenderness and seriousness in her eyes.When I left the Houde family, Lucia took care of everything for me for six years. She had been in charge for almost twenty years or thirty in total…She even took care of Grandpa.Additionally, she was tutoring me.Lucia had never said that she liked me, but her love was clear. It was
