Chapter 3
But just now, I saw the content of his chat with Britney.
I learned that during this period, he took a lot of time to accompany Britney for prenatal checkups and pregnancy care.
Even several nights were spent at Britney’s house.
Now, was there any truth in his mouth?
“What do you mean by your sneer? Vanessa, don’t you feel weird recently?! What are you sulking about? If you have something to say, just say it. It’s as if I’m sorry for you!”
Finally, he got angry, frowned and looked at me gloomily.
But he still didn’t mention Britney’s pregnancy at all.
“No, I’m just tired.”
Looking at his righteous look, I didn’t even have the mood to argue with him.
The child was there.
If we argued now, we couldn’t get married and I was the only one who got hurt.
Since he still wanted to pretend, let’s just wait until the day of marriage.
I couldn’t be the only one in pain.
I also wanted him to be in pain like I was now, with my whole heart twitching.
I ignored him and lay down on the sofa.
He still stood, with a hint of powerlessness in his eyes. He was silent for a long time before sitting down beside me.
He gently hugged me.
“Then I’ll accompany you for a while before leaving. Vanessa, in short, you must remember that the woman I love most in this world is only you. No one can replace you.”
His words seemed to be hinting that even though Britney was pregnant with his child, he still only had me in his heart.
But, didn’t you think it was ironic?

The next morning, Douglas came to my house early.
He brought a bag of rich breakfast and placed it on the dining table.
“Lazy pig, get up, I specially asked the chef to cook you the salty soy milk you like.”
He came to the bed and kissed me gently on the forehead.
Looking at him like this, I realized that perhaps my abnormality yesterday made him begin to suspect that I already knew about him and Britney.
But he didn’t choose to explain.
Instead, I felt that as long as he spoiled me enough, I would never be willing to leave him.
Influenced by the big family since childhood, he always handled things in this way.
Even if someone offended him, he was always calm in front of others.
But the means behind him were more cruel than anyone else.
I saw with my own eyes that a downstream supplier who offended him was ruined by him!
Just because the other party mocked him a few times at the cocktail party.
And now, was he going to use this method on me?
I smiled at him, got up and went to the dining table, taking a few sips of soy milk.
He kept holding his mobile phone, replying to messages, looking at me from time to time and giving me a smile.
“It’s the weekend today. Where do you want to go to play? I’ll accompany you later.”
“No need. Your subsidiary is about to go public. You should be busy with work,” I smiled lightly and replied.
He put down his mobile phone, grabbed my hand and his tone became more gentle.
“The subsidiary’s business is not as important as you. I see you’re tired lately. Why don’t I go camping with you by the lake and relax?”
I didn’t refuse again. I got into his car and went to a beautiful lake in the suburbs.
In the past, whenever I was in a bad mood, I would come here to relax. The lush Metasequoia always made me feel relaxed and happy.
Chapter 4
But this time, they lost this effect.
Looking at Douglas, who was sitting next to me, but his attention was all on the mobile phone chat interface.
I just felt annoyed.
“If you have something to do, let’s go back. I see you’re busy.” Finally, I spoke.
He put down his phone.
“It’s okay. I promised to accompany you today.”
But just a few minutes later, his phone rang.
“Okay, don’t be afraid, I’ll be there right away!”
In an instant, his face changed drastically and he stood up excitedly.
“Vanessa, there’s something urgent at the company, I have to go back and deal with it right away. I’ll send a driver to pick you up later!”
Without giving me time to reply, he had already got into the car anxiously, stepped on the accelerator and left quickly.
He left me in this deserted suburb.
I waited there for two hours, but his driver didn’t come to pick me up.
I had to turn on my phone and ask my bestie to pick me up, but I accidentally saw an Instagram story posted by Britney.
[It was a false alarm, fortunately, the baby was fine, but I almost scared my husband, but seeing him so anxious for the baby, I felt only happiness.]
Looking at Britney’s Instagram story, tears blurred my vision.
For Britney, Douglas could leave me in this wilderness without hesitation.
His driver never came to pick me up and when my bestie arrived, I was soaked by the sudden heavy rain.
When I got home, I had a fever and lay in bed, shivering.
Douglas finally came.
“Why are you soaked like this? It’s raining, can’t you find a place to hide first? Are you so stupid?”
His subconscious reaction was to blame me.
I didn’t say anything, just looked at him coldly.
He finally reacted, then took out his mobile phone and scolded his driver.
But it was obviously him who forgot to tell the driver.
However, he had always been like this and would never admit his mistakes.
He would only use various ways to shift the responsibility to others.
Just because he was the young master of the Jenning Family and the president of the company, no one dared to refute him.
No one dared to disobey him.
“How do you feel now? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?”
He calmed down and became gentle again.
But for some reason, his gentleness now made me more and more uncomfortable.
I felt more and more uncomfortable.
“No, just sleep.”
I lay at home for three days and he never came again.
He didn’t even go to the company, as if he disappeared.
Britney also disappeared at the same time.
It was not until the eve of the wedding that I saw Britney’s Instagram story again and I knew where he had gone.
Britney posted a photo of her wearing a wedding dress and at the beach in her Instagram story.
[My life is complete if I can have a wedding at the beach.]
Although she was just holding a man’s hand in the photo, the watch I gave to Douglas was particularly eye-catching.
The address shown in this Instagram story was Futmont.
This made me realize that before the wedding with me in Maison, he first married Britney in Futmont.
After all, the marriage certificates of the two countries were not interchangeable.
In this way, he would not commit bigamy.
Chapter 5
Douglas, why did you have to work so hard to marry Britney?
Just let me go, wassn’t it better?
Douglas rushed back from Futmont in the early morning of our wedding day. He only slept for more than three hours and became my groom from another woman’s groom.
Amid the sound of salutes, our wedding also began.
However, compared with the limited edition wedding dress that Britney wore in her Instagram story, the wedding dress I wore now seemed so ordinary.
I always thought that he didn’t have time to accompany me to choose, so I ordered an ordinary one.
But now I knew that he just spent all his energy on Britney.
He couldn’t spare the time to help me choose.
I took my father’s hand and walked toward him expressionlessly and I couldn’t squeeze out a smile.
The ceremony soon came to the stage of exchanging rings.
I watched him take out the ring with a smile and listened to the oath of the master of ceremonies and he was about to put it on my hand.
“Miss Vanessa, are you willing to marry Mr. Douglas, love him and be loyal to him…”
After the MC finished reading the oath, everyone at the scene looked at me with a smile.
Douglas’ eyes were also full of love and happiness, waiting for me to say, “I do”.
But, it never came.
His hand, which had been stretched out in front of me, froze in the air, looking so awkward.
At the scene, the original whispers gradually sounded.
Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, the MC coughed awkwardly and then wanted to read the oath again to ease the mood at the scene.
However, this time, it was only halfway through.
The tightly closed door of the wedding banquet hall was suddenly pushed open by someone.
At the moment the door was pushed open, I finally looked into Douglas’ eyes.
I answered without hesitation, “I don’t want to! Douglas, the person I want to marry today is not you at all!”
