บททั้งหมดของ My Mysterious Serpent Wife: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 8

My words hit everyone like a bolt of lightning, freezing my dad's hand in mid-air as he clutched the marriage paper.My mom's eyes popped, and her tail fluffed up. "James, are you crazy? Chloe is mean, ugly, and can't have kids. People say that when she loses it, she can come close to ripping your throat out. Marrying her is like jumping into hell!"Before I could say anything, my dad cleared his throat."If he doesn't marry her, what about Hank? He's already magically bonded with Rowena..."My mom looked torn for a second, then let go of my hand.My heart froze over. I was their biological son, but they always took the side of my foster brother, Hank Morris, who was good at acting sweet and helpless.I smirked. "I'll do it, but on one condition: on my wedding day, Hank has to tell everyone he stole my potion.""How could you? You just want to ruin your brother's reputation!" Dad was so mad he smacked the table, and Mom just looked at me, so disappointed.I just smiled slyly.

I looked at my messed-up, bleeding hand and started to laugh.Rowena's heart squeezed tight, and her face went all panicky. "Why are you laughing?"I was laughing at how dumb I was, letting myself get hurt to earn the silly, shallow 'love' of my parents and Rowena.Every time Hank acted sad, they always believed him, despite being my parents' real son and Rowena's childhood friend, whom she had promised herself to.Hank had set me up time and time again. Everyone thought I was the mean kid who picked on my little brother and stole his ideas.I balled my hands into fists so tight that my nails dug into my skin, and I looked up at Rowena with fierce eyes."I did nothing wrong, and I won't apologize."Rowena's eyes narrowed, hurt by my defiance."Rowena..." Hank suddenly yelped. "Ow! My hand really hurts."Rowena did not waste a second. She turned and started rubbing Hank's hand.Worried Hank might get cold, she dashed to the car and grabbed a fox fur coat, wrapping him up snug

Chloe set up a dreamy and perfect Bonding Ceremony for me.Since I was allergic to pollen but loved flowers, the place was filled with lifelike fake flowers.I was wondering how Chloe knew what I liked when suddenly, a wolf howl echoed from outside.A servant told me that a wild wolf girl from the wolf clan had reverted to her animal form and was clawing at the iron fence outside.I was taken aback. Beastmen only reverted to their animal forms when they were really upset.Rowena did not turn when she found out the truth about Hank, but she did when she saw my Bonding Ceremony.If this were the past, I might have thought she cared more about me than him, but now, I just thought she was acting foolish.What was the point of all that when she did not appreciate me when she had me?Chloe and I exchanged rings to the sound of everyone's well-wishes, and then we kissed.After the ceremony, as we headed to our new home, we saw a giant silver wolf locked in a big iron cage outside.F

Rowena was allergic to mangoes.Her hands were covered in scary red rashes after three minutes, but she kept eating the mangoes, clueless to the danger.She ate until she could not anymore, her body shaking and her mouth foaming. She fell to the ground.As they put Rowena in the ambulance, she looked at me weakly. "James, I'm in pain like you now. Will you give me another chance?"I just gave her a cool look and said nothing. I walked home with Chloe, hand in hand.The last thing Rowena saw before she passed out was my determined back.Three days later, I saw Rowena again.I heard she had been in the ICU for a whole day and night before waking up.This time, she was not as pushy. She tried to 'coincidentally' run into me by showing up at my usual spots.Chloe was really mad, staying right by my side, her eyes sharp and full of warning.One day, Chloe and I were at a business party.Chloe had to step away to talk business. I was left alone, bored, sipping coffee in the lounge
