บททั้งหมดของ She Chose My Brother, I Chose a New Bride: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 9

Just a week before our wedding, my fiancee, Jeanette Lester, confessed that she was carrying a child conceived with frozen sperm from my younger brother, Noah Rowley."I'm so thankful that our love gets to live on in a different form," she fawned on social media, showing off the test results.Noah commented, "Meeting you has been the greatest stroke of luck in my life."Mom chimed in. "Jenny, you've suffered a lot. Nathan's apartment should be under your name alone."I didn't even bother arguing. Instead, I simply replied with just one word—"Congratulations".A few seconds later, my phone rang. "Your brother can't have kids anymore. It's just one child. Plus, it's still related to you. Why are you being so petty?" Mom snapped.I let out a quiet laugh, ended the call, and dialed a different number. I asked, "Would you like to get married?"There was a brief pause on the line before the other end erupted in shrieks of joy. "Really? You've finally thought it through! I'll book my f

The room fell silent for a moment. Mom, Noah, and Jeanette looked uneasy. For once, Jeanette actually seemed flustered. She stepped toward me as if she wanted to explain her side of things.That was when my phone buzzed.I pulled out my phone. It was a text from the city clerk's office. It was a reminder to attend the marriage registration appointment tomorrow at 8:00 am.I froze before realization dawned upon me. Stella Zahn.We hadn't spoken since the call. I thought she was just teasing. After all, marriage wasn't a trivial matter. Yet, she had scheduled the license for the following morning. That was fast.Her playful, drawn-out, "Honey" replayed in my mind, and I felt my ears burn.Jeanette peeked at the screen and let out a sigh of relief. "Nathan, I know you've been upset because I've been neglecting you. Don't worry. I'll be there on time tomorrow."Her gaze flicked to the bag of medicine in my hand. She softened her tone. "You're actually sick? I thought you were making

I turned my head as a fiery red Ferrari pulled up to the curb. A stylish woman stepped out of the car. She looked even more stunning than I remembered. I stood there, momentarily dazed.Jeanette's eyes flicked to the car, and she scoffed, "Wow, Nathan. You're really pulling out all the stops to trick me into marrying you, huh? You rented a Ferrari and even hired an actress. How many hours of this can your salary cover?"Stella hooked her arm through mine and frowned. "What car?""Sign the agreement now, and we'll register our marriage. Otherwise, I'd love to see who else would marry you," Jeanette continued.She tossed the crumpled agreement at my feet. She really thought that I would swallow it down like before.I reached out to pull Stella away, but she had already seen the words on the page.Her expression darkened. "So you're the one who's been humiliating my husband?""Oh, please. 'Husband'? How much did he pay you to play this role?" Jeanette laughed.Stella didn't waste

Noah had his arm around a woman in a slip dress. His hand roamed all over her.I couldn't help but think that Jeanette worked fast. She was barely done with me, yet she was already cozying up to him.Stella spotted them too and muttered, "It sucks that we ran into someone we can't stand while having supper."The woman in Noah's arms turned her head and giggled. She wasn't Jeanette. She was a stranger. But on her arm was the designer bag I'd bought for Jeanette.I remembered it clearly. The bag had been on her wishlist for ages, so I gave it to her for her birthday.I pulled out my phone and snapped a photo of the two being close together. Zooming in on the bracelet on the woman's wrist, I noticed that it was one of the wedding presents I had given Jeanette.Fortunately, the place was too crowded for Noah to notice me.A second later, he stood up from his wheelchair and walked to the bar. His steps were steady as if nothing had ever been wrong with his leg.My brain stalled as I

The circus finally ended when Noah dragged Jeanette away.I didn't bother keeping up with their mess. I was too busy applying for visas and organizing my paperwork. But even without asking, gossip had spread.Rumor had it that Jeanette snapped. She tried to abort the baby and even hired people to break Noah's legs. Mom rushed in just in time to stop it.Noah wasn't crippled, but he suffered lasting consequences. He was left with a limp.Mom went even further. To avenge her precious son, she had drugged Jeanette. Jeanette had just had an abortion, so her body still needed to recover. The drug had ended her ability to bear children completely. She would never be a mother ever again.But Jeanette wasn't the type to roll over and take it. She gathered evidence, got a lawyer, and sent Mom straight to prison.Noah didn't retaliate at all. He never once visited Mom, either.The wildest part was that even after beating each other down, Noah and Jeanette still got married. I was baffled,
