บททั้งหมดของ When She Married Right, He Knew He Was Wrong: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 9

However, I was no longer the person I was seven years ago. I no longer had to tread carefully around Joseph Larkin and obey his every command without a shred of dignity.I said, "There's no reason for me to lie to you, Joseph. I'm already married to someone else."Joseph cast a sidelong glance at me and said mockingly, "You're still going on about this, Wendy? I'm only here to inform you, not ask for your opinion. I'm marrying Mabel, no matter what you think."Mabel Reese's glossy black braids hung over her shoulders as she tugged innocently at Joseph's sleeve. "Don't start a fight with Wendy over me, Joseph. You should just send me back."Despite saying so, Mabel refused to let go of his sleeve. The look she gave me was also full of determined confidence.Joseph's expression mellowed upon hearing her. "I can't bear to watch you suffer anymore, Mabel. We promised to stay together no matter what. Don't worry. Wendy will agree to whatever I say. I'll make sure you have a proper plac

Joseph shoved Adam away. "Shut the hell up! Whose side are you on, anyway? Who exactly did you cheat on me with? He's definitely asking for death!"But no matter what, he couldn't come up with a single suspect.I let out a cold chuckle.Mabel put on a fake look of concern. "Why don't you just come clean, Wendy? There's nothing I can do to help you if you push Joseph too far."I rolled my eyes. "Who are you putting an act for? Don't think I don't know what's on your mind."As soon as I spoke, a sharp slap landed hard on my cheek.Joseph yelled, "Shut up! Not only did you not feel remorse for cheating behind my back, but you're even scolding Mabel now?"My cheek swelled up immediately.Seeing that I was slapped, Bobby lunged forward to bite and kick Joseph. "How dare you hit Mommy? I'll beat you up!""Bobby!" I cried.Joseph easily picked Bobby up with an arm, causing my heart to skip a beat. "Put him down, Joseph!"Shocked, Adam hurriedly tried to bring Bobby down to safety.

Lisa stopped crying. "Everyone thought you were dead back then. Wendy ended up marrying Jonathan, and Bobby is indeed their son."If you were alive, why didn't you write back to us? Do you know how I've been all these years? I've wished more than once that it had been me who died that day!"Joseph's knees weakened. "I just… I just wanted to go out and make a name for myself. I figured I'd come back once I've sorted things out. How could you let Wendy marry someone else?" He was way past the age of wanting to go out and make a name for himself. He even chose to disappear on our wedding day. Did he think I was easy to fool?Joseph left everyone behind, forcing me to carry the blame and shame—just so he could go out and have his little adventure?As expected, he was still as selfish as ever. I didn't even know when he turned into someone like this.Back then, Fiona Hayes and I planned a trip downtown to buy some hair clips.Halfway there, her younger brother came running with an u

However, the way Joseph lost his temper that day was already etched into Bobby's mind.Bobby pursed his lips. He turned to me and complained in his childish voice, exclaiming, "He's a meanie, Mommy! I don't want to play with a meanie!"Jonathan smiled and patted Bobby's head. He then turned to scold Joseph. "Shut up and eat your food!"Joseph's face tensed up after being embarrassed over and over again.Lisa quickly changed the subject and said, "The food's getting cold. Let's eat!"Mabel was the one getting the short end of the stick. Not only had Joseph ignored her, but he didn't even bother preparing a set of cutlery for her.She shook with anger after realizing he was carefully trying to win me, Jonathan, and Bobby over, yet she was completely powerless against it.I didn't really enjoy my dinner.As soon as we were done, Bobby pestered Jonathan to play with him on his wooden horse. They then went home to bring it over, with Bobby dragging Jonathan along in a hurry as they

Truth to be told, Jonathan never finished telling me his name back then. I hadn't made it out clearly.Or rather, I never imagined it could have been him.The protagonist of the entire farce had been wrong from the very beginning. From the very start, it had been a mistake.The one I had longed for all these years was Jonathan, not Joseph."Why didn't you tell me in all our years of marriage?" I couldn't understand.Jonathan's eyes were filled with raging emotions. "It's fine if you can't figure it out. The things I do will only be meaningful if you were to find out about it yourself."Eventually, I couldn't hold back my tears.I was such an idiot.I sobbed so hard I could barely breathe. Jonathan reached out to gently wipe away my tears. "I love you, Wendy."I buried my face into his neck, nodding profusely. I was beyond happy.In the past seven years, Jonathan had never told me he loved me. He indulged me in everything and was gentle with me, but rarely said sweet things to
