Love's Unspoken SymphonyChapter 1
After three years of on-and-off relationships with Lance because of Melissa, I was exhausted and finally gave up.
I chose Elmer, my childhood sweetheart, who had been pursuing me for many years.
We had been in love for five years and he took care of everything. I thought he was the one for the rest of my life until the bachelor party a week before the wedding.
His good friend got drunk and exposed his secret thoughts that he had kept secret for many years.
“You have been acting affectionate for Melissa for so many years and finally Erin is willing to marry you wholeheartedly.”
“As long as Melissa can get Lance as she wishes, I am willing to marry someone I don’t love.”
It turned out that the wedding dress he carefully prepared was because of his regret that Melissa couldn’t wear it.
The ring he designed himself was also a sadness that he couldn’t see Melissa wear it.
My self-righteous utopia was a cage that he carefully built with lies just to trap me.
I wiped my tears dejectedly and finally gave up and agreed to the marriage my parents chose for me.
——
“Mom, I agree to the marriage.”
The living room was dark and my shallow voice was clear and numb in the lonely night.
Mom knew I was upset and sighed softly. “Dear, don’t worry about the marriage, leave everything to mom and dad. We can’t say that the person we choose will definitely be your type, but we can guarantee that he is excellent in character and family background. My daughter deserves the best.”
“Thank you, mom.”
“By the way, remember to say goodbye to Elmer when you come back. You have been in Ordgan City for so many years, thanks to his care. When you get married, you must also invite him to have a drink at the wedding.”
I was silent for a moment and said yes.
There was a noise at the door and the living room soon became bright.
Elmer saw me at home and was stunned for a while, then smiled and came over to hug me in his arms. “Who made my baby unhappy?”
He rubbed my neck and kissed me.
I avoided his action. “You smell of alcohol, go take a shower first.”
He pinched my palm and said, “Okay, okay, my baby has an order and I, as her husband, will make sure to wash myself clean.”
When he stood up, he thought of something and said, “Who to invite to the wedding wine?”
Mine. I told him in my heart.
“No one, just a relative.”
