His face was darker than the night.
“Tulissa, what did you mean?
I calmly watched him.
He said those piercing words indifferently. “I loved Julissa very much, and she was the only woman I wanted to marry, but I couldn’t remain celibate for
Edwin paused for a moment, and then anger flashed across his face.
“Who told you?”
“Elaina? Is it ho
I sneered and said, “So,
o, you can’t accept the taste of betrayal either? Then how could you betray me so brazenly?”
“Is it her?!”
“No, I heard it live at Lake Villa.”
Edwin’s eyes turned cold and his tone became even more harsh.
“You knew everything, yet you held back from speaking, just to humiliate me like this today? Julissa, you’ve really become quite skilled.”
I chuckled, “Edwin, you were too full of yourself.”
“Guess why I decided to move the oath ceremony to the end?”
Edwin furrowed his brow, his half–closed eyes gleaming with sharpness.
“Because I wanted to experience the entire wedding, I wanted to see the fireworks tonight. I stopped working and prepared for the wedding for a whole year.”
“I tirelessly revised the design drafts, reaching out to flower arrangement experts and paper art masters in various places, I searched for materials and contacted prop companies, ensuring a high success rate for the final implementation. I paid attention to every single detail.”
Chapter 6
“She tried on hundreds of wedding dresses, changed countless pairs of wedding shoes, and also tried out dozens of makeup looks.”
“Edwin, no man is worth me putting in so much effort to plan a wedding with him again.”
“This might have been the only wedding in my life.”
“It was much more important to successfully go through this laborious wedding, than to embarrass you.”
“Didn’t you notice that during the wedding shoot today, the camera never focused on you?”
“I will handle the filming for this wedding myself.”
Edwin’s face was filled with anger, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.
A pair of pitch–black eyes stared at me intensely.
“Are you saying that you want to end things with me?”
I took a deep breath.
“I think my “unwillingness” has been expressed very clearly.”
Edwin fell silent for a moment and trembled as he said, “Julissa, think carefully. If you leave me, you will never find someone with better conditions than “mine”
I smiled.
“Why should I look for someone? I had a job and savings, I had a brain and skills, I could live a prosperous and happy life on my own.”
“You didn’t need marriage to fulfill your career, and likewise, I didn’t need marriage to fulfill anything for me.”
Edwin looked stern, with his jaw tightly clenched
The pale light fell on his shoulders, as if covered with a layer of frost.
“Julissa, don’t regret it”
“I do not regret.”
I turned around, straightened my back, and proudly exited along the gravel path
Tears still streamed down the chin and fell along the way.
I stayed in the hotel for three days.
Take out the SIM card and uninstall all social media apps.
Three days of being a couch potato passed,
When I came out of the hotel, I felt like my eyes couldn’t focus,
I took a tax and went to Edwin’s place. The lawn was covered with torn red carpet, and the word “wedding” on the iron gate was also torn off and crumpled on the ground.
The villa was empty, with traces of destruction everywhere
The sofa was tilled and the vase was shattered all over the floor.
It seems that Edwin had lost his temper here before
I tiptoed opstairs and started packing my things.
Most of my things were bought by Edwin, so after leaving them, I could only take a few with me.
One suitcase was enough to fit everything
As I was carrying my suitcase downstairs, I made eye contact with Edwin lying lace up on the floor in the lobby.
His hair was disheveled and his clothes were in disarray.
Fingertips held the cigarette, took a puff, and then pressed it out on the floor.
That sharp and flamboyant face, hidden in the ethereal white smoke, had a sense of absurd decadence beauty.
