All Chapters of After She Ditches Me, I Marry Her Sister: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Charlie's POVI noticed my phone screen lighting up and realized that I received a reply within 30 seconds of sending the message. It was a very simple reply—three words long. "Wait for me."I stared at it for a few seconds before turning off my phone. I then looked at the electronic board in the hall that was still displaying our ticket number—A027—and the red text flashing repeatedly below it. "Please go to Counter 3."Yvonne Sharp, my fiancee, helped Aaron Sutton, her stepbrother, to a bench and crouched before him. "Does it still hurt? Do you think you can still walk, Aaron?"Aaron was pale as he reached out and grabbed her sleeve. "I'm fine, Yvonne. I can bear with it, so go register your marriage with Charlie first. I wouldn't want you to hold things up on my account…"He had told her to go, but he still swayed toward her side anyway.Yvonne supported him immediately. "You're clearly in pain, so stop acting so tough."Dad quickly walked over, leaned in, and asked, "Is it c

Dad tried to explain patiently, saying, "You can just send me the medical records. I'm a doctor, so I can definitely take good care of you, Aaron."Aaron bit his lip and remained silent. That reluctant, tight-lipped look made it seem as though all of us were forcing his hand.Yvonne predictably shielded Aaron. "That's enough. Aaron is already feeling unwell. Do you guys seriously need to take turns grilling him?"Emily was so enraged that she laughed out of pure frustration. "We're literally offering solutions here! He won't take the medication, he won't accompany Uncle Brandon to the hospital, and he won't get in the ride we called for him. What does he actually want from us?"Aaron's posture stiffened for a moment. "Do you think I'm pretending to be sick, Emily? I'm just scared and want Yvonne with me. Is that really such an unreasonable request?"Yvonne's expression hardened. "Aaron has already made himself clear. What more do you want from him?"Emily was at a loss for words.

Upon hearing that, Yvonne's scowl deepened. "Charlie is simply letting his anger get to him, Brandon and Diana. How could you encourage this behavior? If you're going to take his side like this, Charlie and I are never going to make this relationship work."Aaron, who was over by the bench, suddenly stood up and leaned against the wall. He still looked deathly pale as he murmured, "You should just go along with Charlie. I'll never forgive myself if he refuses to marry you because of my actions, Yvonne…"He tried taking a couple of steps forward as he said that, swaying slightly.Yvonne immediately turned and steadied him by the arm. "Why are you still trying to tough it out when you're already this weak, Aaron?"Aaron held her arm, tears forming in his eyes as he turned to me. "I've always thought of Yvonne as my biological sister and considered you my brother-in-law, Charlie. You're not going to throw away an eight-year relationship just because she's looking after me, right?"I

Mom said, "You'd better stop messing with Charlie since the paperwork is already being processed, Yvonne."Yvonne said hoarsely, "He's not even in love with Wendy."Mom looked straight into her eyes and asked, "Did you ever appreciate Charlie when he loved you?"That single sentence left Yvonne completely speechless.The room where we took our photos was small, featuring only two chairs against a creamy white backdrop.I took a seat and noticed that my shirt collar was all messed up from being tugged on earlier. I was just about to fix it when Wendy suddenly took a silver tie clip from her suit pocket. I was stunned. "Why do you have this?"Wendy replied nonchalantly, "I found it in the car last month."I recognized it immediately. I had dropped it while sitting alone on the steps of the city hall after our 26th failed attempt to register our marriage. Aaron's cat had gone missing that day, so Yvonne had stayed out all night looking for it. I waited outside until the staff went

Wendy had barely sat down when she stood up and bowed respectfully toward Mom and Dad. "I know today's decision was unexpected, but I'm marrying Charlie because I want to. It's not because I'm trying to clean up someone else's mess, and it certainly wasn't on impulse either. "Charlie will decide when the wedding happens, if we have one at all. You can take your time getting to know me during that period."Mom looked serious. "You've already gotten your marriage certificates, yet you're only asking us to get to know you now, huh?"Wendy paused for a moment before saying, "I'm willing to be evaluated over the long term."Emily couldn't help but burst out laughing.In the end, the tension that had been building all morning finally started to clear.Wendy brought out another document before all the dishes were even served.I furrowed my brow and asked, "What is this?"Wendy pushed the document toward me and replied, "It's just a rough draft for our pre- and post-nuptial arrangemen
