All Chapters of Exposing my Thankless Boyfriend on Thanksgiving: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

On the other end of the line, Josh Harrington chuckled.“On it. But are you sure you wanna play this big?”“I’m sure.”After hanging up, I looked at the scene unfolding inside, took a deep breath, and dialed Sean.The phone rang several times before it was picked up.“Emma?”Sean’s voice was laced with exhaustion.“Just got outta the OR. I’m beat. Can we talk later?”I stared at the man on stage dressed in a groom’s suit.While holding the phone to his ear and talking to me, his other arm was gently wrapped around Michelle, pressing another kiss against her lips.The pair were lost in each other.Gettin no reply from me, Sean shot a meaningful look at the man standing beside him.“Are you still angry? Come on, I was really caught up.”With that, I watched with my own eyes as he handed his phone to the groomsman next to him.The next second, an unfamiliar voice shouted through the receiver:“Hi Emma! Sean’s been in surgery for eight whole hours. You don’t have to check on him every minu

Sean reached out his hand, ready to grab me, but I twisted away to avoid him.Fuming with anger, he barked, “Do you really have to make such an ugly scene out of this?“If you clear all this up right now, I can pretend none of this ever happened.“I can loosen up on balancing our ledger, but you can’t interfere with my relationship with Michelle.“You have my word. Things can still go back to how they used to be.”Outraged to the point of laughter, I barked back coldly:“Not a chance!“What, you don’t like my wedding gift? Now the whole world knows you’re married—isn’t that wonderful?”Before my words even faded, a massive crowd of reporters swarmed into the hotel.Camera flashes clicked furiously right in Sean’s and Michelle’s faces.“Dr. Barnes, is it true you were dating two women at the same time?”“Ms. Hudson, you were dating a taken man?”Michelle screamed, burying herself into Sean’s arms.Sean shielded her, trying to retreat toward the back door, but they were completely blocke

Early the next morning, the doorbell rang.Looking through the peephole, I saw Michelle’s parents standing outside the door.Her mother’s eyes were red and swollen. She looked as if she had suffered a monumental grievance.Her father, on the other hand, was full of fury.Seeing that I wasn’t opening, they began kicking at my door.“Come out here! You brought ruin on my daughter. Show your face!”I let out a scoff and pulled the door open.The moment Michelle’s mother saw me, she lunged forward, only to be blocked by Josh’s bodyguards.“Ma’am, say what you need to say, but keep your hands to yourself.”“How dare you say those things online?”Michelle’s mother shrieked at me, on the verge of total breakdown.“You ruined Michelle’s life! She was your best friend!”“Best friend?”I scoffed at her cold-heartedly.“Who got a married to my boyfriend on my birthday?”The woman choked on her words for a second.“You vicious, wicked wretch! You couldn’t keep your own man. How is that my poor gir

I put my phone down, gazing out the window at the darkening sky.“Let her put out the effort. The higher she climbs, the harder and more painful her fall will be. What I want is a single, fatal blow.”Early next morning, I accompanied my father to the hospital for his final, comprehensive pre-op checkup.The new lead surgeon, Dr. Watson, was a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.His voice was slow and deliberate, sympathetic but professional.“Ms. Ford, please rest assured. I have carefully reviewed your father’s condition. Although the coronary artery blockage is in a tricky location, it remains within a controllable range. The surgery has a high success rate, and with proper post-op recovery, it won’t affect his quality of life.”My heart, which had been hanging in suspense for so long, finally settled back into place.I was grateful for this new surgeon.“Thank you, doctor. I trust you with my dad’s life.”As my father was led away by the nurse to draw blood
