I married Liam Vincent through a marriage of convenience between our families.On the night we got our marriage certificate, he smoked by the floor-to-ceiling window and told me he had a girl he truly loved.
That girl was poor. Yet she was proud and had a strong will to overcome difficulties.
After a moment of silence, I didn’t confess my seven-tear feeling for him as I had planned to.
Instead, I asked, "So what do we do?"
He gave a faint, cool smile.
"Let’s make it two years. By then, I will control the Vincent group."
"We’ll divorce. But don’t worry, I’ll compensate you and the Sullivans."
I agreed.
But when that day finally arrived, he was the one who changed his mind.
Three months after marrying Liam, I finally met Chloe.
It was my birthday.
The Vincent family had prepared it for half a month — venue, desserts, drinks, everything had to be the best.
I heard someone exclaim,
"Old Mr Vincent really values this granddaughter-in-law."
"Probably everyone with power and influence in Northwood is here."
That was true.
Yet, even so, something unexpected happened.
The chandelier above suddenly fell.
At that moment, only a server and I were underneath.
Panic erupted around us. I was about to move away when I saw Liam push through the crowd and rush over.
Then he passed right by me and pulled that server to safety.
In the end — my arm was struck, leaving a gash, while that server was held protectively in Liam’s embrace.
I had never felt so awkward.
But soon, Liam reacted. He released the person in his arms, walked over, picked me up, and took me to the hospital.
So no one dwelled on what had just happened.
When I woke up, I saw Liam standing by the hospital window, on a phone call.
"You shouldn’t have come today. If you got hurt, what would I do?"
"I will divorce her eventually. Just wait for me, okay?"
I realized then that the server was Chloe.
The girl he wanted to marry but couldn’t.
He turned around, noticed I was awake, and let out a slight sigh of relief.
I wanted to smile, but I couldn’t.
He walked over and raised an eyebrow.
"You’re awake?"
I said yes.
In the three months since our marriage, we appeared respectful and harmonious in public.
Actually, aside from the night we got married, we hardly spoke.
Now, the silence hung in the air as usual.
After a long while, he asked, "Aren’t you going to ask for an explanation?"
I said no need — I had already guessed who that person was.
