Semua Bab Your Love Is Laughable: Bab 1 - Bab 7

My husband had been very busy with work recently. We did not want him to miss out on his son’s birthday, so we decided to celebrate it at his office. I decided to cosplay as my son’s favorite Marvel character as a surprise, which required me to put on a heavy and stuffy onesie.The moment I stepped foot into the office lobby, I saw two familiar figures—Jared Carter in an expensive suit, with Isabelle Jenner hanging delicately from his arm. He did not seem to have changed over the past three years. The receptionist smiled at Jared. “Mr. Carter, our CEO is occupied at the moment. Please take a seat first. He’ll come to meet you once he’s available.”They must be here to discuss business with my husband.Someone around seemed to have recognized Jared and commented on Isabelle’s beauty. “Is she your wife, Mr. Carter?”Isabelle smiled. “Not yet, but we’ll be married soon.”Jared seemed occupied by his thoughts. After a while, he replied, “Hmm, yeah. Soon.”I was surprised to h

I was about to say more, but Jared interrupted me. “Enough, Charmaine. Stop playing around. “You’re doing this to get my attention, right? Well, you have it now, okay?“It must’ve been hard without me all these years. Were you even able to find a proper job? “If you really want to go inside, fine. Apologize, and I’ll get you something more decent to wear. You can come in with me, and I’ll show you around, okay?”Then, he pulled out his phone and unblocked me to transfer money to my account. However, he paused when he realized I had changed my profile picture to a recent family photo.The man in the picture—my husband—was none other than Aaron, the man he was scheduled to meet today. Jared was furious. “Are you delusional, Charmaine? If you were going to Photoshop something to piss me off, at least make it realistic!“Everyone knows how infatuated Aaron is with his wife. It’s public knowledge that they have two kids and that he keeps her out of the public eye.“How stupid d

I was going to indulge Isabelle when Allen suddenly spoke up, “Dad! These people hurt Mommy!” He pointed at Isabelle. “And this lady threw the cookies Mom made for me on the ground!”Aaron was furious and gestured for his assistant to call the police. Isabelle turned to ask Jared for help. “Please! Jared, you know I didn’t mean it!”He shoved her away in disgust. “You told me Charmaine’s injuries were nothing, Isabelle. You lied and told me it was just scratches.“It was your idea to fake a proposal to force Charmaine out of hiding.“It’s all your fault! Without you, Charmaine and I would not have been separated for so long!“I won’t help you.”After a while, the police came to bring Isabelle away. Jared refused to back down and pleaded, “I’m sorry, Charmaine. What happened three years ago was a misunderstanding. It won’t happen again. Please give me another chance. I’ve never fallen for anyone else these past three years. You were the only one on my mind!”I did not want

Jared’s eyes reddened. “But I can’t forget you.“I still remember how you came to me like an angel when I tried to kill myself over Isabelle. You were the one who stood by me through my toughest times. “You sent me a bouquet of sunflowers every day and made me nutritious meals. I was sure that you were the one I wanted to marry…”I caressed my wedding ring and sighed. “What a shame that you weren’t there when I needed you most.“But none of that matters anymore, Jared. Just leave me and my family alone before things get ugly.”Jared pulled out a ring from his pocket, the same handmade one he had given me all those years ago. “I found this ring in Isabelle’s house. I found out that she kept everything you sent back to me. She convinced me that you were just throwing a tantrum. If not for her, we would’ve gotten back together a long time ago.”Suddenly, Isabelle appeared with her hand over her stomach. “Jared! I’m pregnant. It’s your child, so you have to take responsibility!”He
