Chapter 5 “My relatives and friends left after dark. They all looked at my mom and me with strange eyes. Some even cursed at me and my mom right there, asking if we were just trying to fool them and if the wedding was actually a scam. Otherwise, why didn’t they hear any news about the groom? They said they had never attended such an outrageous wedding before. ” “My mother was dumbfounded. She didn’t know how to reply to them. She didn’t blame you, either. She just blamed herself for not being able to find an excuse for you and ruining your image. See? Even when you made us look like fools, my mother was still trying to defend you “After all my relatives and friends left, my mother and I were left alone. It was already nine o’clock at night. ” “She Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… wasn’t well, so I asked her to rest. I knew you probably wouldn’t show up. But my mother refused to believe it. She said that you were the best man she knew and there was no way you would miss such an important occasion. So she still waited for you. ” “Tristen, I know you’re out of my league. You may never understand how we felt at that time, nor can you understand what a torment it was for us to wait for such a long time that day. We just felt the time was so slow and insufferable. ” “My mother finally gave up on you when the midnight came. She knew you wouldn’t come. ” “It was a huge blow to her. When she realized that you weren’t coming, her heart just couldn’t take it anymore. Then, she died of a heart attack on the spot. ” “Let me tell you, Tristen. If you had called me back during that period, my mother’s ending would have been different. But what did you do? You only cared about Wesley. My mother and I meant nothing to you. You missed our wedding, but it was still an insignificant thing in your eyes. ” The rain stopped, and I finished talking. Everything should be over. Tristen looked at my mother’s urn, tears welling up in his eyes. I’m sorry. I’m sorry… He, who had never apologized to me, seemed only to be able to say only “sorry” at that moment. “It’s too late. It’s just too late. She can’t hear your apology, and you can’t get her forgiveness. I spoke coldly, my face bland. “I’m sorry, Natalie. I know this is all my fault. I really didn’t expect it to end like this. I didn’t mean it. ” Regret took over Tristen when he looked at me pleadingly, I knew he was expecting me to smile and tell him it was okay like I used to. But I said indifferently, “No need to apologize to me. I won’t forgive you. ” After saying that, I strode away with my mother’s urn. Wesley stood aside, staring at me intently. Her eyes seemed calm, but in fact, they were filled with triumph. I passed by her and spoke to her, “Congratulations, you won!” Chapter 6
