All Chapters of Left by My Fiancé, Loved by His Uncle: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Slowly, the grandeur of the ballroom began to fade away. After the love story, the music became more gentle during dinner, and the guests waited patiently to offer their congratulations to the newlyweds. Most of them were more interested in discussing how shocking this marriage had been and made everyone polite as she greeted each person.With a calm demeanor, Nathaniel held on to Madeline's hand, protecting her from all the sharp stares and inexplicable whispers that could be heard throughout the room.“Congratulations, Mr. Nathaniel and Miss Madeline were mentioned as guests from the ARS Company board during their wedding, which was an extraordinary event.‘I thank you so much,’' Madeline said with a slight smile on her face. With each handshake, she felt like she was in a perfect performance of her own character. The sight of a smile, courtesy, and affection appeared to be indicating love, but in reality was nothing more than the thin layer

The white gown on Madeline was still fitting, even though the lace on her shoulder had been slightly torn off. Her skin was soft and glistening with the very slight light in the room. The refilled wine glass was almost full when she held it.Nathaniel spoke with a composed and firm tone, "Stop drinking. What did that mean? You're already too drunk." Madeline laughed only faintly, her eyes smoky from the intoxicating scent.“Too drunk? I'm just happy. After a while, I was able to witness Ethan's face and feel his shock. His expression was impressive to Nathaniel. It was delightful." Nathaniel looked at her with a blank stare, trying to deduce what was beneath her glassy-eyed expression and crooked smile.This time he said softly "Madeline," and almost whispered, "that makes you unhappy. Then it was.’’"With one breath, Madeline squirmed as she slowly drank the remaining wine. Not happy yet? Oh, I feel amazing. Ev

They were met with an orange afternoon sun and a blue Hawaiian sky. A slight ocean breeze blew in, creating the sweet scent of tropical flowers. The sea was calm and peaceful. At the airport runway, a private car was waiting to take the newlyweds to upscale resort by Waikiki Beach. What can you do?As the warm air spread across his face, Nathaniel unfastened the top of his shirt. Unlike the chaotic city of Hawaii, they were able to experience the tropical vibe. It was just so different. He turned his gaze towards Madeline, who briefly stood close to the car, letting the sea breeze kiss her skin. A moment of silence followed. The calmness on her face was unlike anything he had ever witnessed. It was so refreshing.“Ready, Mrs. Brooks,” asked jollyly, but with a gentle tone. Making a partial smile, Madeline said, "It's still not the way I remember it." Nathaniel answered with the words, "You'll be here soon, and proceeded to open the

Nathaniel leaned closer to her, his face barely touching hers. "Why do your cheeks turn red when I mention you as my spouse?"   She instinctively retreated, cleared her throat nervously and looked around to make sure no one was looking. "Don't say anything inappropriate in public!" she whispered. The woman nodded softly.With a playful smile, Nathaniel raised an eyebrow. "Do you think people will believe we're in sex?" "I'm afraid you can't trust anything," Madeline replied quickly.Then, with a still gentle look on his face, Nathaniel stopped and asked, "What would you say, if you had believed in this?" He seemed to be struggling.Her heart raced as Madeline swallowed deeply. She didn't have an answer. He spoke with a razor-sharp demeanor, poised to cause harm to anyone who approached. The words were frightening. With her face turned away, she attempted to keep her breath steady and firmly held. "That's not pa

Madeline stared at him, trying to make sure she hadn’t misheard, whether it wasn’t just the romantic atmosphere of the night playing tricks on her. But Nathaniel’s gaze remained steady, calm, sincere, and even a little nervous. It was something she had never seen before.She looked away toward the vast sea that shimmered under the moonlight. “You don’t have to say things like that,” she said finally, her voice soft but clear against the whispering wind. “I know this marriage isn’t about love. We each have our own reasons. There’s no need to make it complicated.”Nathaniel looked at her for a moment before replying, “I know.” He took a small step closer. “But since when do we have to avoid what’s complicated? Maybe that’s where honesty really begins.”Madeline smiled faintly, her gaze lost somewhere beyond the horizon. “You talk like someone who’s in love.&
