Chapter 16

Camilla 

"Did I just hear you say you are getting married?" I asked Lawrence, my brows furrowed at his dieection in utter confusion. I could not believe my ears and neither could I believe my eyes, there was a smirk plastered on his face and it seemed so real.

Lawrence was happy to be getting married. I on the other acted like I was not happy for him.

"Yeah Camilla, you heard me right. I am getting married to a Beta's daughter." Lawrence said with a slight shrug. I fought back the urge to scoff loudly at him and roll my eyes. Five years had passed, had he not been married throughout those years?

"I thought you were married before?" I said in a low tone and I actually hoped in my heart that Lawrence had not heard what I had just said. Unfortunately for me, he had.

"Oh yes. I was married to someone after our break up but our marriage did not work out well. This time i am certain that Mia is the one for me though." Lawrence paused to grin widely. "She is the one for me." He said.

This time, I could no longer help it. I scoffed loudly and shook my head at him in disdain. Why was he telling me this anyways? Was he expecting me to show up at his wedding to support him? I was trying so hard to understand.

"You do not look very happy about my marriage news." Lawrence spoke. I chuckled nervously and faked a big smile on my face. I did not want him to assume that I was not over him yet, it would only make him act weird toward me.

"What do you mean?" I paused to chuckle again. "I am happy to know that you are eventually moving on. I am so proud of you." I said with a dramatic clap.

I hoped in my heart that Lawrence would buy my lie. He did because a smile broke on his face as he spoke excitedly. "Great, I was afraid of inviting you because I thought you would be pissed about it but since you are happy for me, please do me the honours of gracing me with your presence at my wedding." Lawrence said.

My eyes widened in shock and my jaw dropped. Was he kidding? Why would I attend his wedding? It would only make me feel more hate for him. I would feel pity for his new bride too. Who knows? He could end up abandoning her just like he did to me.

"I have plans." I blurted out. I immediately regretted saying that. 

"But I have not even told you the date or time yet." Lawrence heaved a heavy sigh. Damn it, that was true. He had not told me the date yet and somehow I had already said I was busy.

"Well...." I stuttered while scratching the back of my neck awkwardly. "You know I can be very busy as a doctor. I just assumed I would be busy but you can text me the invitation card. I will do my possible best to available at your wedding as your personal doctor Mr Lawrence." I said, I was trying to act mature about it. This was how I should have behaved the moment he told me he was getting married.

"Oh, thank you so much Camilla. We are cool right?" He raised a brow at me. I nodded my head in agreement with the same fake smile on my face.

"Of course we are cool. I already said I would attend your wedding." I said.

"Alright, goodbye. You can leave." Lawrence waved at me. Now he was stylishly kicking me out of his room. I nodded my head at him and bidded him goodbye as I made my way out of the hospital. I was the one who told him to act that way but surprisingly, I am still the same person pissed at the fact that he is acting that way.

What is wrong with me? I grit my teeth in anger and run a hand through my hair in frustration. Ah, everything is just so annoying! Wedding my foot! I pity for the lady who agreed to be Lawrence's bride. She had better be prepared for the worse.

I eventually arrive home after a long day at work. I immediately rushed to my sister, Britney. I laid besides her with a scowl on my face while patiently waiting for her to ask me what happened.

"Are you going to tell me why you look like that?" Britney questioned. Her eyes fixated on the TV screen in front of her. I snatched the remote off her hand and i switched off the TV before replying "Lawrence is getting married."

I watched Britney's face change into one of shock. "I thought he was married already? What happened then? Did they get divorce?" 

"I know right. Britney, Lawrence is so shameless. He has no regard for himself. Of course he had being married before but he divorced her and now he is getting into another marriage." I said folding my arms in anger.

A short silence fell between I and my sister, she looked at me with a concerned look on her face before asking "Everything good with you, yeah?" 

"Of course. Why would I not be happy? At least, he would stop bothering me at the hospital and i would finally be able to work peacefully." I said.

"Exactly. It is a relief actually. He can do whatever he likes with whoever he likes. As long as he does not bother you anymore. You have Roland and the twins, that is enough happiness for you." Britney patted my shoulder.

I wanted to tell her about Lawrence inviting me for his marriage but i decided not to anymoee. I felt like it would only make me appear jealous if I told her about the invitation.

Her words were true, I had my own happiness which meant I did not need to be bothered by his.
