Chapter 5 

We arrived at the wedding supply store, and Ersily began påclding nut what she liked and placing a 

gorders. 

Isaac walked beside me, visibly unhappy. “Family, what are 

at are you doing? Let fammer påck for herself.” 

I waved my hand dismissively, signaling Emily. “You make the decision. It’s fine” 

When it came time to settle the bill, both of them looked at me. 

We had agreed that I wmild cover this exprise, but the wedding no longer had anything to do with me, I wasn’t in the mood to play the fool. 

I turned to Emily and gestured for her to pay. “I rushed out without my wallet. You can pay for now.” 

Every time I borrowed money or anything from her, she’d take the opportunity to make me pay double. 

I’ve always been generous, never keeping track of small things. 

So when Isaac offered to pay, Emily pushed him away. “You’re such a jerk. Sho’s my sister.” 

Without hesitation, she paid the hill and pouted at me.“Summer, this is all my savings” 

“You better pay me back soon,” she added, her tone playful. 

I smiled but didn’t respond. I hadn’t even planned to pay her back. What you owe me, Emily, is far more than this. 

After we finished at the wedding store, Isaac received a phone call. 

He came over, kissed me on the cheek, and said, “Sweetheart, something came up at work. Let me take you home.” 

I waved him off. “You don’t need to accompany me.” 

He looked at me lovingly. “Where else can I find such a sweet, understanding girlfriend like you?” 

He bugged me tightly, but Emily pushed him away. “Goon! Uch 

Ugh, you two are so sickening.” 

After Isaac left, Emily and I walked for a while. I asked, “What do you think of saat? 

“Do you like him? 

“‘ll let him go for you.” 

Emily avoided my gaze, speaking loudly to cover up her nervousness. “Summer! If you keep saying things like that, I’ll get madr 

“How could 1 possibly like your boyfriend? I think he’s completely unworthy of you.” 

Is that so? I almost laughed. 

Emily, I’ve given you so many chances to be honest with me, but you didn’t cherish them. 

Emily got a phone call and burried away. 

When I got home, I found Isaac’s tablet on the coffee table. 

for the first time, I snooped through bis device. 

Iremembered that, years ago, all his devices were set with my birthday as the password. This time, however, I couldn’t open it. 

After several tries, I realized the password was his own birthday. 

His and Emily’s birthdays were on the same day. 

But I didn’t seem to care anymore. I opened their that box, and new messages 

popping up. 

Chapter 5 

Emily ac! How dare you hug her in front of met 

Issac Don’t cause trouble, she’ll find out 

Emily: So what! I bet even if she finds out, she’ll cry and beg us not to leave her. 

Emily: Who would want to be with a mute? 

Isaac: That’s not the point. 

Emily: (Feeling wronged] 

Isaac: Alright, I’ll take you on a honeymoon trip. 

First, let you wear the wedding dress, then go on the honeymoon. Satisfied? 

Emily? Now that’s more like it! I’m the main wife. 

I turned off the tablet, feeling a wave of nausea rise in my chest. I ran to the bathroom and threw up everything 

Once I regained my composure, I calmly took screenshots of their entire conversation and sent it to my phone. 

Knowing that they had been flirting behind my back for two years still made my heart wrench painfully. 

That night, as I lay in my bedroom, I heard someone enter, but I couldn’t muster the energy to get up 

Isaac quietly walked to my bedside. When he saw that my eyes were open, he was startled. 

He softly asked, “Are you feeling unwell?” 

ant to communicate with him through gestures anymore, so I closed my eyes. 

I didn’t want 

He sighed and went to make me some chicken soup, insisting that I sit up and drink it. 

But after I took a bite, I couldn’t help but vomit again. Isaac panicked, running around with wet wipes and water, looking worried sick 

He pinched my cheek and said, “The company originally assigned me a business trip” 

“But since you’re in such bad shape, Tl cancel it and stay with you.” 

I restured for him to go, saying it was fine. 

“No, you’re unwell. I can’t leave you.” he insisted 

I thought he must really love me. 

Before bed, he came over again, his tone filled with apology “Baby, this business trip is really important. I can’t not go.” 

I smiled inwardly. This man was such a good actor. 

He told me he would return either the day before or on the wedding day. 

Why not just wait until after I’m dead to come back? 

He reassured me that he had already delegated all wedding related matters to his assistant. 

He’d still keep an eye on everything while he was away, so I should relax and rest at home, waiting for him to return and make me a beautiful bride. 

I smiled. Yes, I would become a beautiful bride–but not to you.
