Semua Bab My Bride's Late, so I Marry Someone Else: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Mark's POVLana was all smiles, her gaze drifting off to the other side of the store, where Nicholas stood in a black suit with his tie already done."But this all-black one looks pretty good too. What do you think, Nick?"Nicholas waved at the camera. "Mark, how do I look in this? Think I'd make a good groomsman in it?"Robert, who was watching from the side, was so pissed he almost started cursing.I quietly said, "Lana, the ceremony was supposed to have started by now. Don't forget that we're supposed to exchange rings at 11:58 am. That's our local custom."She didn't seem bothered at all, her smile still on her face. "Customs are just customs, you know. A little delay won't kill anyone. Nick, let's go with this one. It looks great on you."I bit my lip. "Now that you've settled on a suit, get over here."She frowned, her expression changing in an instant. "Nick hasn't even gotten his hair done yet. I can't exactly have him showing up with his hair all messy, can I?"Have t

Mark's POVViolet gave the screen nothing more than a cold glance before breaking the chocolate into small pieces and passing them to me."Here, Mark. Have something to eat first. We wouldn't want you keeling over from low blood sugar."As I let a piece of chocolate melt on my tongue, the anger in my chest still refused to go away. I took out my phone and liked Nicholas' latest post.Then I commented, "Talk about a perfect match."Less than 30 seconds later, Lana called me. "Mark, what is that comment supposed to mean? Delete it right now! Nick just got his hair done, and the second he saw your comment, he ran his hands through it and messed it all up again!"It had only been 30 seconds, and he'd already messed up his hair again. There was a hint of mockery in my voice as I said, "Am I wrong? One of you is in a suit, the other in a white dress. If that's not a perfect match, I don't know what is."Lana was getting annoyed. "What are you even saying? I was only taking some pictur

Mark's POV"Skipping the pre-wedding arrangements is one thing, but exchanging rings at 11:58 am is our custom. Exchanging rings right on the dot means a lifetime of wealth and good fortune. Miss it, and one is inviting nothing but trouble and financial ruin…""Lana has gone way too far. She's dragging her whole family down with her."Mr. Bowen was a businessman himself, so he hated hearing things like that more than anything. But he also knew that if they kept making a scene now, Lana's actions would only be blown out of proportion even more.And from then on, even the slightest thing that went wrong would be tied back to what happened today. That would hurt the Bowen family's business.Even though he was still furious, Mr. Bowen shot Mrs. Bowen a look, signaling her to back down immediately.The emcee wiped the sweat from his forehead. As I handed the microphone back to him, I felt Violet squeezing my fingers.When I turned to look at her, she leaned in and whispered, "Robert

Mark's POVViolet was shorter than me, so she would stand on her tiptoes whenever she wanted to talk to me.I leaned toward her ear to whisper, "Since you said you wanted to drive later, just stick to juice. If you insist on drinking, I'll drink for you. The juice is really sweet."She nodded right away and exchanged a look with Robert. Even now, Robert still couldn't hide the smile on his face.He happily trotted over with a glass of water for me. "Here, my dear brother-in-law. You and Violet should stick with water. Let your groomsmen handle the alcohol."I clicked my tongue. "You're milking your brother-in-law status already?"That just made him grin harder. "Don't you worry, Mark. If you two ever get into a fight, I'll always take your side."I couldn't help but laugh helplessly. When I glanced up, I saw Lana walking toward me with a dark look on her face. "Mark, you win. You just wanted to force me to come marry you, didn't you? Well, I'm here. Let's start the wedding cer

Mark's POV"Remember last month when I came back from my business trip with a bruise? Violet was the one who did it! Anyone capable of hitting me like that can't be a decent person!"I didn't bother reading whatever came after. I just bolted upright.Last month, Lana said she was away on a business trip, but when she came back, she had a bruise on her face and looked pissed.She said she'd accidentally taken a fall, but whenever I pressed her for details, she got annoyed.But later, I found out that the trip she'd taken was actually a getaway down south with Nicholas, and we had a huge fight over it. And now, it turned out that bruise was from Violet.The door opened, and Violet came in carrying a small slice of cake for me. "You haven't eaten all day. You must be hungry. Have some of this first. Let's go get some steak later."I stared at her. "Did you hit Lana last month?"She caught sight of my phone screen, and the smile on her face stiffened.Lowering her head, she said
