Ashley , seizing the moment , interjected with a pained expression , " Luna , it's all my fault . Please don't provoke Brant anymore . Just put your luggage down and stay ... " Click ! The only response was the sound of the villa's front door closing firmly behind her . Luna left without a backward glance . Linda frowned deeply but didn't utter a single word to stop her , convinced that Luna was just throwing a tantrum in the heat of the moment and would eventually cool down . Ashley stood up , gently holding Brant's arm , and said softly , " Brant , don't be angry . I'm sure Luna didn't mean it . She'll come back once she's calmed down . " Brant's mind was in turmoil . Just as he was about to speak , his phone rang . Seeing the caller ID , a sense of foreboding washed over him . He hesitated for a few seconds before answering . The next moment , his mother Sarah's shrill , furious voice screeched through the phone . " Brant , get home now ! See what kind of woman you found ! She deliberately married another man at your wedding , a blatant slap in the face to our family ! " The last thread of composure in Brant's mind snapped . He didn't even realize his hands were trembling as he gritted out through clenched teeth , " Who did she marry ? Who was it? " Who was that bastard who dared to steal his woman ? A fierce , almost savage rage burned in Brant's eyes , making him look like a vengeful demon . " How should I know who it was ? This is all your mess ! Now everyone is laughing at our family ... " Sarah's tirade continued , but before she could finish , Brant suddenly hurled his phone against the wall . Silence finally descended . Ashley , startled , flinched and huddled closer to the silent Linda , not daring to breathe too loudly . Unaware of the chaos she left behind , Luna wheeled her suitcase out of the Brown family villa and walked through the gated community . People passing by glanced at her and whispered to their companions . " Isn't that Luna ? I heard she was abandoned by Brant at the wedding and was so angry she swapped grooms on the spot ? " " Who would do something so outrageous ? No wonder the Brown family kicked her out . " " I wonder who she married . If he's not as good as Brant , she's really lost out ." They didn't bother to hide their pity and mockery . Unable to shut their mouths , Luna could only quicken her pace toward the exit . Distracted and upset , she kept her head down , walking swiftly . Once outside the villa gates , she wasn't paying attention and nearly walked straight into a lamppost . " Careful ! " A pair of hands reached out from behind , grabbing her arm and pulling her back . The voice sounded familiar . Luna turned around , a flicker of surprise in her eyes . " Why are you back ? " Didn't he have business to attend to ? Didn't he leave ? Jasper looked at her deeply , his meaning clear . " I remembered there was something more important I needed to do ." Luna raised a questioning eyebrow . " What thing ? " Jasper didn't answer immediately . Instead , he took her luggage , effortlessly lifted it into the trunk with one hand , then opened the passenger door . " Get in . " 1/2 P P Her proposal at the wedding had been a spur - of - the - moment act of desperation . She had originally thought they could get to know each other first and consider formalities later if things worked out . She hadn't expected him to be in such a hurry . Perhaps sensing her hesitation , Jasper said gently , " Get in the car first ." The exit of the villa area was busy with people coming and going . Not wanting to stand there and be a spectacle , Luna got into the car . Jasper drove , glancing sideways at the uneasy woman in the passenger seat . " Why don't you want to get the license ? " Luna was stunned . The way he asked made her sound like an irresponsible player ! Luna sat up straight , her hands on her knees clenched slightly into fists from nervousness . " No , it's not that ... I just didn't expect it to be so soon ... " Before the man could speak , Luna voiced her confusion . " Why the rush ? Unless ... " As she spoke , her beautiful eyes slowly drifted down to the lower half of his body , encased in suit pants . Logically , someone this handsome shouldn't have trouble finding a wife . Could it be ... he had some sort of secret illness ?
