Chapter 5

At the time, Ethan no longer looked at me with tenderness. Instead, his eyes held a glimmer of disgust and disdain when he gazed upon me.

It was then that I realized my sincere love had been wasted on him.

All his talk about wanting to grow old with me, about staying childless together for life - it was all lies.

They say a woman's heart is fickle, but in reality, a man's promises are the most unreliable thing in this world.

I died full of regret, never expecting to be reborn a month before the wedding.

This time, I won't jump into that fire pit again.

I packed up my personal belongings at home, unable to sleep all night.

At the crack of dawn, I dragged my luggage out the front door.

I found a hotel, dropped off my bags, and then headed to the wedding venue.

As soon as I arrived at the venue, a group of people whisked me away to do my makeup and put on the wedding dress.

When the ceremony began, Ethan and I walked into the hall. Under the gaze of family and friends, we made our way to the stage.

Ethan looked at me tenderly and said softly, "After today, you'll be my wife."

"For the rest of our lives, I absolutely..."

Just then, someone suddenly shouted, "I object to this marriage!"

Everyone was shocked and instinctively turned to look.
