The Bride Promised to the Altar Novel - Chapter 13

Chapter 3 Finally, I went to the restaurant with Wayne. Jocelyn looked like a little princess in her delicate pink dress, ordering a table full of dishes in one go. Wayne was spinning like a top, serving both her and me. Jocelyn smiled, eyes squinting as she looked at me. "Xylia, I heard you're breaking up with my brother?" "The engagement party thing was my fault. an't you just forgive him?" Probably only Wayne thought those two light sentences counted as an apology. I stared at her and forced a smile. "Sure. I forgive him." The next second, Jocelyn's face darkened.

She stood up and smashed her plate on the floor. "Brother! She's not even angry! Why did you make me apologize to her?" Wayne stood up with a pained expression, looking at me. "Xylia, weren't you angry? How come you're not angry now?" His tone seemed to blame Of course. He always believed whatever Jocelyn said. People passing by in the restaurant were all staring at us. Soft classical music played, easing the tension just slightly. I picked up my bag and said flatly. "I'm full. Going to the restroom." Jocelyn followed me, arrogantly blocking my way. "How can you be so shameless?

I've been sabotaging you for ten years, and you're still desperate to marry my brother?" I washed my hands and replied calmly. "I broke up with him. Whatever happens between you two is none of my business anymore." Jocelyn slapped herself across the face, then tore at her own clothes, speaking mysteriously. "Since you put it that way, help me one last time." She ran crying out of the restroom and threw herself into Wayne's arms. 12:01 Done Secretly Dating My Brother's Best Friend-CHEATED?!

She said I ruined her engagement party and that I'll be your mistress!" "I don't want this sister-in-law anymore! Please don't marry her, okay?" Wayne looked at her reddened cheek, his eyes rimming with red, and said through gritted teeth. "Xylia! First you want to go home, now you're hitting Jocelyn? When did you become this shameless?" I smiled without restraint. Jocelyn cowered in his arms, crying weakly. As if afraid I'd reveal the truth, she urged Wayne to take her away. Wayne looked at me with disappointment and left, protecting her.

I stood there alone, enduring everyone's pointing and whispering. This wasn't the first time Wayne had abandoned me. Whenever Jocelyn and I fought, he always comforted her first, then me. He always said the same thing. "When we started dating, I told you-I had to repay her." Yes, he had to repay her. And because of that debt, I'd endured for so many years. Actually, when I went to the restroom earlier, it wasn't just for a break-I was genuinely afraid I wouldn hit Jocelyn. She'd claimed she wanted to apologize, but she was wearing the ring Wayne had given her.
