Chapter 388 - Her Wedding Day (Eight) (1/2)
”Is that true, Jake? Or just a joke?”
”Does Vincent know about that before he marries Eva?”
Jake nodded, which caused those who gossiped to gasp from shock. ”Vincent knew, and he didn't care as long as Eva would not meddle in his private affairs and would never demand of him.”
”Is that the reason Eva never appears in the picture after Vincent lives with his humored mistress?”
That it turns out to be an heiress of unimaginable wealth! Vincent's relatives thought about that.
”Yeah. I often see Eva hanging out with that guy when she already married Vincent. I never thought that this guy was Hailee's ex-fiance.”
”Oh…”
'How complicated!' they thought.
On the other side, several eyes also keenly watch Bryan while dancing Hailee. Bryan could actually feel those sharp stares and dagger look throwing at him, but he doesn't care.
”You look so lovely in your wedding dress.” He told Hailee with sincerity.
”Thank you.” Hailee's eyes filled with sadness when she recalled when Bryan protested how she dressed.
”Just how I imagined. You're the most beautiful bride in the world,” Bryan added.
Hailee stared at Bryan. She could sense the bitterness and regrets in his voice.
A year ago, they almost got married and became a newlywed couple. It's just a few days to wait.
Everything is all ready; the wedding reception is still the same place and decorated glamourously. However, she got married to another man.
And her beautiful wedding dress… They couture the one that accentuates all the curves in her body.
Things were too perfect back then. However, today is even greater.
She may not be wearing a sexy wedding dress like the one she dreamed of… But the baby bump in her wedding gown is even more beautiful than her curves.
The life inside her womb completes the family she wished to have; she could be called her own. She is starting her married life with the man she loved the most, and together, they will build a family.
Hailee unconsciously travels her eyes toward her handsome groom, and Vincent is also looking in her direction. Their eyes meet and make love.
Bryan could feel the pang of pain surging in his heart every time he saw Hailee had this kind of expression while starting another man because she had never looked at him this way.
He honestly envied Vincent for winning this girl's heart.
”Hail… What if you got married to me? Would you be happy?”
Hailee was surprised after Bryan asked her this question out of the blue. And even though she already knew the answer, she still fell silent and pondered.
Hailee lowered her gaze. After a moment of silence, she met Bryan's eyes and replied…
”I know I would be happy. However, probably the day comes that it feels empty inside, and we would think that something was wrong. I guess we might get divorced one day.”
Hearing Hailee's reply, his heart shattered into pieces once again. Bryan hid the pain in his eyes and smiled bitterly.
How would he deal with their divorce? He is sure he will be left broken all his life.
”I think I would be okay about that, Hail. That at some point in my life, I could say that once, you are mine, and I have the chance to love you.”
Hailee didn't know how to reply to Bryan. She guesses there are no words that can comfort him, even if she would tell him that one day he can find someone he will love more than how much he loves her.
”One day, all is well.” Is only the words she could utter while giving Bryan a goodbye hug.
