All Chapters of My Best Man Proved I Shouldn't Marry: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Colin's POVI wasn't fond of sweets, so I quietly waited for Vera and Steve at the bakery's entrance.The bakery owner was very friendly. She cut a slice of her new product and gave it to Steve, saying, "It's been a while since you and your girlfriend dropped by. Why are the two of you dressed so formally today? Are you going to a ball?"Steve's ears turned red. He pointed at the entrance and said, "It's my best friend's wedding. I'm his groomsman."The bakery owner's smile stiffened as her eyes darted between the three of us. In the end, she said, "I'm sorry. I assumed that the two of you were a couple since you drop by for tea quite often. I didn't know that there was another person."It was obvious that the "other person" that she was referring to was me.I hoped that Vera would speak up and explain the situation on my behalf, but she didn't. Instead, she bought all the different-flavored honey cakes in the bakery and had the staff members place them in over a dozen bags."Do

Colin's POVI pressed a hand against my aching heart and made my way toward the dressing room, one step at a time. A long time passed before I finally reached the room.I could have just ended things right then and there by leaving the church. However, I couldn't just abandon the stylist who I had hired even though I planned to skip my own wedding.I was breathing heavily when I pushed the door open. I was then stunned by the sight before me.The famous stylist who I had booked two years in advance was being scolded by Vera like a child. Tears had welled up in her eyes and threatened to spill down her cheeks."You came at the perfect time," Vera said while pushing a pile of makeup products toward me. "Steve said that you're being unfair. You're using high-grade products while forcing him to use unregulated ones. You also plan to change his styling and replace his groomsman suit with an old, tattered one later."I frowned but didn't say a single word.Were they trying to cause a

Third-Person POVSteve's expression darkened, but he swiftly composed himself, fixing a gentle and amicable mask on his face."You must be exhausted after searching the entire day, Vera. Here, have some soup," he said. "I'll continue the search on your behalf in the future."In the past, Vera would have been extremely moved by Steve's words. However, at that moment, she was tired of his hypocritical behavior."No need," she said. "I'll look for Colin myself."She ignored the soup and headed into her bedroom to pack a suitcase.The half of the closet that belonged to Colin was empty.Vera's heart also turned hollow."Where will you go to look for him, Vera?" Steve asked. "The world is so big. Don't tell me that you're going to visit every country and search every nook and cranny until you find him?"Vera nodded. Her voice was colored with anguish when she said, "I'll look for him for the rest of my life if I have to. He's the only man I acknowledge as my husband. That will neve

Colin's POVIt was unexpectedly chaotic on my first day at Graham Group.My assistant, Eloise Portman, rushed over to me and exclaimed, "An urgent matter that needs your attention has popped up, Mr. Graham. The client is asking you to personally sign the contract."I immediately understood what was going on when I read the note that was attached to the document.There was only a single sentence."One million dollars to see you.""Turn it down," I said. "Don't accept any contracts from their company."I didn't expect Vera to be so stubborn. She kept sending new contracts to me under different company names, raising the price from one million dollars to ten million dollars. Her only wish was to meet me face-to-face. Vera probably assumed that my resolve would eventually waver if she offered a high enough price, considering that I was born into a family of businesspeople.However, I rejected all her contracts without hesitation.Later, the notes transformed from a single sent
