" Am I the only one who feels sorry for Chris ? " " I feel the same way . He's clearly the Wilder family's son - in - law , but today , Jessica is bringing another man onto the stage . Isn't that an embarrassment to him ? " No matter what others said , Chris's gaze remained fixed on Jessica After the cake was cut , the scene began to shift . The lighting became much more romantic , and Chris slowly stepped back , leaving the central spot to allow the real couple space to develop . It was unclear who handed Michael the microphone . " Jessica , we've wasted so much time . We're no longer as young as we once were . I think it's time to make a decision. Back then , I didn't intend to leave you , and now we shouldn't care about what others think … " Chris didn't have the courage to listen to the rest . He walked directly up to the second floor , entered a room , and turned on the light , only to realize that it was Jessica's room before her marriage . It was easy to recognize - the room was filled with photos of Jessica and Michael . He felt like an intruder , standing in the territory of a couple , looking at all the details of their once loving relationship . ' I knew it from the very beginning … Why am I still so sad ? ' Chris asked himself inwardly . The music downstairs changed , becoming even more ambiguous than before . Through the door , he could almost imagine how ecstatic Jessica must have been , leaning into Michael's arms , displaying a look he had never seen before . Finally , it was over . The divorce certificate was in hand . Once he made it through today , he could leave cleanly and begin a new chapter . Just as he sat on the bed , ready to rest , the door suddenly opened . He thought someone had caught him sneaking into the room , but following the light outside , he saw Sophie's face appear in front of him . " Did you see that ? Michael confessed to my sister , and she's already agreed to be with him . From now on , there's no place for you beside my sister . You should leave the Wilder family and make room for Michael . " " We're already divorced . Don't say these meaningless things . " Sophie furrowed her brows . She just couldn't believe that Chris would really divorce Jessica . " You're willing to divorce my sister , you must've received quite a bit in return , " she said , stepping closer to him . " Over the years , my sister alone gave you a lot , let alone the money my mother has given you . This time , you agreed to divorce . I can only imagine you've received even more . Chris , you really haven't changed a bit . " Chris tiredly rubbed his temples . He had drunk a couple of glasses of champagne downstairs , and now the effects were kicking in , with thoughts of Jessica flooding his mind . After all , they had been together for many years . How could he just give up ? He gritted his teeth and left the woman he once loved , only to have to watch as they became a couple and endure Sophie's mockery . Any person would find that unbearable . " You know how I am , " he said , leaning slightly forward and staring at Sophie . " If you don't want me to leave your sister soon , keep talking . I can raise the price until your sister can't bear it anymore and won't want to divorce me . " " You ! " Sophie glared at him . Chris leaned forward slightly , his gaze fixed on Sophie . " You know I'm a man of my word . " 1/1 C Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
