After the miscarriage from the car accident, I was overwhelmed with grief and lost my appetite.
To console me, Nolan organized an extravagant proposal ceremony.
Three days before the wedding, I went to pick him up from his bachelor party.
Unexpectedly, I overheard the conversation between him and his friends:
"Nolan, you deliberately sent someone to cause that car accident, just to get the fetal blood to save Delia's life? Didn't you consider what would happen if Melody found out? That was your child!"
"You're willing to sacrifice everything for Delia, even yourself?"
"It's just one child. As long as Delia can survive, I'd be willing to sacrifice a hundred children! As for Melody, she won't find out. She still thinks I'm in love with her."
Tears fell as my whole body froze.
So it turns out, our child was killed by his own hands.
Even the wedding I'd been looking forward to for five years was an elaborately planned deception.
If that's how it is, I'll agree to the arranged marriage my family wants.
This wedding, I'm giving it back to you!

Love is Hard to Express, Emotions Wound Deeply

"Well, well, if it isn't the Carlisle family's bastard? What brings you back today? Don't tell me you think starting a little company means you can go toe-to-toe with the Carlisles now?"


"You never know. I heard today's bride used to be his girlfriend. Wonder which poor blind soul fell for him, giving up the chance to be a Carlisle daughter-in-law to live in poverty. Good thing she came to her senses in time."


"A bastard kicked out of his own family? What could he possibly amount to? He's probably here to liven things up for us 'cause he knows the wedding would be boring! Look at him, baring his teeth like a stray dog. No manners at all!"


Countless times facing scenes like this, I was always the one who stood up for him.


But now, that person had become someone else's bride.


While he remained the bastard in others' eyes, something that couldn't bear the light of day.
