《He Stood Me Up, so I Married His Brother》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 10 章

The last time we tried to get married, Roxie lost her cat. Simon stayed with her all night to find her cat, and he overslept the next day. Every time that happened, Roxie would be the first to say, "You don't need to do this with me, Simon."After that, Simon would tell me, "Roxie had always had insecurities since she was young. You need to be more understanding of her."I had been understanding 26 times.Molly came running back very quickly with the medication and some warm water. "I've got the medication, Roxie.""You'll need to rest for 10 minutes after taking it, Roxie. I'll stay with you here. The timing will be just right after Simon and Elena get their marriage certificate," said my mother.Roxie looked at the medication in front of her but did not reach out for it. After a few seconds, she lowered her head. "It's fine. I won't take it. Every time I get nervous, I'll throw up. Simon is the only one who knows how to take care of me."After that, Roxie looked at me and said

The moment I went up to Counter 3, I could hear hurried footsteps coming from behind me. Simon had caught up to me, and he pressed down on my ID. "This is enough, Elena," he said to me in a whisper, looking extremely upset. "How are you planning on getting a marriage license without my ID?"I pulled my hand away from his. "It's none of your business."My reply sounded ridiculous to Simon. "Our families are aware that we're both here to get our marriage license. What would my parents think of you when you're acting so brashly in front of everyone?"I felt like laughing. "You were the one who made everyone wait for you 27 times, and now you're worried about being embarrassed?"Simon had no reply. It was 3:56 PM, and the lobby was almost empty. The staff started to clear their counters.My father came to me and asked in a low voice, "Have you given proper thought to this, Elena?"I nodded. "I have."My mother did not talk me out of anything. All she did was hold my hand. "Never

Simon followed behind us, but my father stopped him from coming any further. "Their marriage license is in the process of being issued. You should stop harassing my daughter.""She doesn't love my brother, Mr. Whitford," Simon replied hoarsely.My father looked at him. "Did you cherish her when she loved you?"Simon went silent after hearing his reply.We were taking a picture to commemorate our marriage in a small corner. There were two chairs in front of us, and when I sat down, I realized my hair had gotten a little messy from the commotion before. I was about to tidy it when Jamie took out a hairpin adorned with pearls from his suit pocket. I was surprised. "Where did you get this?""I found it last month in the car," he replied casually. I recognized it. I had dropped that hairpin while sitting on the steps outside the civil office when I failed to get my marriage license for the 26th time. That was also the day when Roxie lost her cat, and Simon spent the entire night ou

Jamie stood up not long after sitting down to speak respectfully to my parents. "Mr. and Mrs. Whitford, I know my decision today has been sudden, but I'm not helping anyone to smooth things over by marrying Elena. Elena will decide when or if we decide to have a wedding ceremony. You may take this time to observe if I'm good enough for her."My father remained stoic. "Isn't it a little too late to do that now that you're both married?"Jamie paused before replying, "I'll accept a long-term probation period."Molly burst out laughing at this, and the tension throughout the day finally vanished. Before our food was served, Jamie showed me a document, and I frowned at it. "What's this?""This is a draft of a prenuptial agreement. You don't have to sign it right now." He pushed the document toward me. "Any of your assets before marriage will belong to you, while any assets we purchase after marriage may belong to us individually. The house, which is under my name, will be transferred t

"Elena didn't stop Simon from taking care of Roxie. She just stopped waiting for her own sake. You have the right to ask for your daughter to be cared for, but you don't have the right to ask another person to always make way for her."Melinda turned pale, while Terence looked at Simon. "Why didn't you just get married first?"Simon lowered his head. "I thought Elena would wait for me."Terence closed his eyes. It was not until now that he realizedthat this was not a decision that had been made brashly.Jamie returned to sit by my side. "I didn't take anyone from anybody, Dad. Elena came to me. She chose me, and for that, I won't let anyone make her turn away from her choice."I looked at him, feeling touched by his words. I had been working hard for the past eight years to prove that I was worthy to be chosen by Simon. It was only now that I realized that I did not need to fight for anything if someone had already chosen me, nor would that person make me wait.My father was sile
