My Dead Husband Has Opinions のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 8

Matthew Jahn clutched his cheek. "Are you insane? I'm proposing to you! What the hell is wrong with you?"I didn't have time to care about his sudden attitude switch.Ralph had always been insanely possessive.When he was five, he got into a fight at school. His dad bragged that their family was loaded and Ralph could have anything he wanted.Ralph only wanted me.From that day on, I had an overprotective childhood friend shadowing me everywhere.He'd looked after me like he was a tiny adult for as long as I could remember, right up until I turned eighteen. Even my mom said he hovered way too much.Ralph didn't care.When I was nineteen, some guy on the street whistled at me.By morning, Ralph had every thug chased out of Southvale.The city was later named the Best Place to Live five years in a row.At first, I didn't believe the messages.I'd held Ralph on our wedding night until his body went cold and stiff. Then I watched his coffin get sealed and lowered into the groun

I smiled.Lila relaxed. "Once you and Matthew are married, you'll be family. Who cares who pays the mortgage?"Matthew grinned too."Exactly. We'll be family. No need to keep score."And forget Ralph. You were already sick of him controlling you. Now he's dead. You should be happy. Nothing can stop us from being together."[Watching his wife blow her own money on another man is enough to make Ralph snap.][Quit pushing your luck and kick them out already.]"Done?" I asked.Matthew paused, then nodded.So I slapped him.Lila gasped.The second she opened her mouth, I slapped her too."You did help me after Ralph died. I'll give you that. But you had no right to trash him."And I always loved him. I never hated him."I stared her down."Lila, you keep lying. Anyone listening would think Ralph was standing right here—and you wanted him to hear every word so he'd hate me."Her eyes flickered. Sweat beaded across her forehead."Ralph is dead. How could he be here?"And you

"What did you say?"Ralph let go.I crumpled to the floor, clutching my throat as I coughed for air.Before I could speak, Matthew stepped forward."Stop making things up! This is our wedding. Both our families are here!""What are you so scared of, Matthew?" I pointed at Lila. "Do you really think no one will find out what you two have been doing?"A wounded look crossed Lila's face."Sophie, what are you talking about? Everything Matthew and I did was for you."I got to my feet and spoke slowly."That ultrasound is Lila's."My mom locked me in the attic for two days. I tried picking the lock with a piece of wire. My blood's still on it. I never even went to the hospital."I held up my hands, both palms covered in cuts.Lila's head snapped up.Her eyes darkened.Then, a second later, they filled with tears."It's not mine. Why are you blaming me?"I wasn't accusing her.The messages had already told me.Lila was pregnant with Matthew's baby.Matthew just didn't know

I knew the past three months had shattered him.Once trust breaks, fixing it is almost impossible.But gambling on the truth was all I had left.And somehow, I won.Ralph had his assistant take me back to the mansion while he went to the bakery himself.They had security cameras, and the footage could still be recovered.I also told him I hadn't even met Matthew until after Ralph died.Then I asked him to investigate Matthew too.Half an hour later, Lila showed up with a suitcase and shoved it at me."I distracted the butler and the guards. Sophie, I know you only called off the wedding because Ralph came back from the dead and you're scared he'll hurt you."You've always loved Matthew. This is all the money I've saved, plus some clothes. Hurry. Get out of here."I pulled my hand away."You want me to run away with Matthew?""Are you insane?" Lila snapped. "Ralph almost strangled you. If you don't leave now, what are you waiting for? Him to kill you?"You know how petty h
