Semua Bab The Day My Fiancée Became a Bigamist: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Channing's POVIt turned out the woman I placed on a pedestal, whom I had been longing to marry, was already someone else's wife. This felt even more disgusting than being forced to swallow a mouthful of urine.With a grim expression, I walked out of the city hall.Bridget Sherman chased after me and grabbed my arm in the parking lot.She scolded, "Channing Peterson, what kind of attitude was that? Keaton Joplin's mother was critically ill and wanted to see her son settle down and meet her daughter-in-law before she died, so I married him just to make the elderly lady happy."Is that some unforgivable crime? I was doing a good deed! Can't you stop being so petty like a woman? You're a grown man! "I didn't want to tell you in the first place. You were the one who insisted on coming here to register our marriage. Now you've only humiliated yourself, and you dragged me into it too."I couldn't believe that she had pushed all the blame onto me.Bridget and I had been dating for se

Channing's POV"Keep it for yourself," I said.I didn't want to argue with a petty man who had suddenly risen to power. Unfortunately, such men were the most shameless. Keaton just had to rub salt in the wound."Oh, you don't like champagne? Then how about bow ties and corsages? I can prepare some for you. You can take them home and put them on your whole family even when you're not having a wedding…"Insulting me was one thing, but he had even insulted my parents.I couldn't take it anymore.I punched Keaton in the face, sending him stumbling backward and falling to the ground."Mr. Joplin!""Mr. Joplin, are you okay?"My coworkers swarmed over, scrambling to help Keaton back to his feet.My punch had left Keaton with a bloody nose. He wiped the blood away with his hand and sneered viciously at me through gritted teeth.Keaton barked, "You bastard! How dare you hit me? Get him! Beat him up! Whoever hits him the hardest gets double their year-end bonus!"With enough money o

Channing's POVThe plane's climb pushed me back against my seat. The blurred city slowly disappeared from my view.The plane was fighting against the pull of the Earth, and I was fighting against Bridget's pull on me.Over the past seven years, I had often traveled for work. Every time the plane took off and the city beneath me slowly became blurred outside the window, I would miss Bridget terribly.Before I had even truly left, I would already be desperate to return home.But this time, as the plane took off and soared through the clouds at 30 thousand feet, my feelings were completely different.I felt liberated. I was finally free.Sometimes, letting go meant giving up on the things one had stubbornly clung to. Only when I learned to give up my pointless persistence could I find peace within myself.My ticket was to Kanford, Elysia.But Kanford was only a stopover. From there, I planned to begin a cycling journey by heading southwest along the Checnar Highway until I reache

Third-Person POVBridget felt that Channing was out of line.How dare he discriminate against her by calling her a divorced woman? Fuming, she decided that she absolutely had to make him apologize.However, the mechanical voice on the other end kept repeating, "The user you are trying to reach is currently unavailable. Please try again later." After hearing that a few times, Bridget finally realized that Channing had blocked her.Her anger was gradually extinguished by the pouring rain. In its place, panic and unease surged over her like a raging flood and swallowed her whole.For the first time, a terrifying thought surfaced in her mind. She realized Channing wasn't joking and that he had really meant it when he said that he was breaking up with her.How could that be? Funnily, she had it in her mind that he wouldn't leave her no matter how willful she was.The only lesson humanity had ever learned from history was that humanity never learned from history, ever.It was the s

Channing's POVThe outsiders didn't know the truth. All they knew was that Bridget had married Keaton and then divorced him shortly afterward. So, all kinds of rumors spread like wildfire. People said she had toyed with an intern's feelings and that she would sleep with anyone. They said that she was fickle and promiscuous. Bridget was subjected to wave after wave of online harassment. She was powerless against those rumors and struggled to defend herself. She ended up in a mess. Keaton was even less willing to give up his chance to marry into wealth. After Carmen was arrested, he got even more desperate and went so far as to kidnap Bridget. He forced her to pay a ransom for her own release. Although the police intervened in time and arrested Keaton, the incident only added more fuel to the already raging public sentiment. When I looked at everything happening to Bridget, I viewed it entirely as an outsider. I felt neither joy nor sadness. I was completely indifferent. Wha
