All Chapters of My Wife's New Groom Looks Just Like Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

A deafening buzz suddenly filled my ears. My face went as white as a sheet.I couldn't tear my eyes off the familiar maple leaf tattoo on the back of the groom's hand.It was the one my best friend, Kevin Holder, had gotten after suffering a heartbreak, the one he'd insisted on getting no matter how hard I tried to talk him out of it.No matter how many times I asked, he refused to reveal the identity of the woman he loved so much that he'd lost all reason.He'd just kept his head down, drunk his way through the whole table of liquor, and finally said bitterly, "I just want something to hold on to. Clark, you have it all. You'll never understand how much it hurts to want someone you can't have."And now, I finally did. The one he loved and couldn't have was Autumn Freeman.I swayed where I stood, feeling as though my heart had been ripped open. For the past three years, whenever I broke down, Kevin always replied instantly and comforted me. Yet he never once came to see me.I ju

The moment Autumn saw me, she went pale.She instinctively took a step toward me, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something. But in the end, she said nothing.I let out a mocking laugh and turned to Kevin instead. "Or do you think this is my fault?"Kevin's face went white as he nervously twisted the hem of his suit jacket, wrinkling it in the process. I stared at the suit he was wearing, the very one I'd personally helped design.There were countless times when I pictured myself wearing that suit, happily waiting for Autumn to walk down the aisle, with Kevin right there at my side, giving us his blessing.But now, the one wearing it wasn't me, and the one marrying Autumn wasn't me either.Kevin took a step toward me, clearly flustered as he tried to explain himself to me. "Clark, I'm sorry. I just…""You just what? You just couldn't help making a move on my fiancée? I thought you were my friend, but I guess I was just a blind fool!"All the anger, heartbreak, and resen

Third-Person POVThe moment Autumn saw Clark running into the street, she frantically sprinted in his direction. But by then, it was already too late.That slender figure was swallowed up by the oncoming traffic before being brutally sent flying. For a moment, the entire world seemed to come to a standstill.It was June, yet Autumn suddenly felt unbearably cold. It was as though icy wind was pouring straight into her heart, causing her hands to shake.She stiffly walked over to the motionless Clark and nudged him. "Clark, what are you doing?"Her face was white as paper, but she still forced a mocking smile onto her lips. "Are you pulling another stunt to force me to leave Kev?"Autumn ignored the shrill honking around her and the onlookers' whispers. She stubbornly refused to look away, as though she were waiting for him to answer.But the person lying there showed no reaction whatsoever. It was unbearably quiet, so quiet that Autumn could hear her own racing heartbeat.Ever s

The space around Autumn crumbled apart slowly, then rapidly snapped back together.The spacious penthouse transformed into a cramped, suffocating basement. A greasy, grime-covered photo of her and Kevin hung on the brick wall.Though it was supposed to be a wedding photo, it looked more like a random snapshot of the two of them together.Even the smiles in the photo looked painfully forced. Kevin, who had been sprawled helplessly on the floor a moment ago, now had his own face back.He looked down at the wrinkled tank top he was wearing and suddenly shouted, "What the hell is going on?"Autumn was stunned by the unbelievable change as well. She immediately looked down at the phone in her hand.But no matter how far she scrolled, the text from before was nowhere to be found, as if the whole thing had been nothing but a hallucination.Yet at some point, her perfectly tailored outfit had become a washed-out T-shirt and jeans. Even the ring Clark had once put on her finger was gon

The call connected, but for a long while, there was nothing but silence on the other end.The moment I realized it might be Autumn, I immediately tried to end the call. But before I could, her hoarse voice came through the phone."Clark, I suddenly have another set of memories in my head. You went back to the past and changed our future, didn't you?"She choked back a sob. "If you already knew the future, why didn't you stop me? If I'd just never run out of that classroom, if I'd just never gone to Kevin, maybe this time, we would've had a happy ending."There was no point pretending I didn't know anything anymore just to dodge her questions. So, I stayed silent for a moment before finally speaking."I already tried that path back then, when I caught you and Kevin in bed together. Don't you remember the answer you gave me in the end?"Before she could say anything else, I hung up. But Autumn was more persistent than I'd expected.The next day, at my celebration party, she appear
