But her?
I didn’t want to ruin my carefully done makeup, so I held back the tears in my eyes. My heart turned cold as I said: “Dad didn’t die because of me. It was because of you!”
“The nitroglycerin tablets for Grandma were always kept on the shelf. You carelessly threw away Grandma’s pill bottle, saying you’d buy a new one on your way home from work. But you went to play mahjong instead.”
“That night Grandma had a heart attack. She couldn’t reach you by phone, so Dad had to run to the nearby pharmacy. He never expected to encounter an out-of-control car on the way…”
Mom stared at me in disbelief. “You’re talking nonsense. How could it be because of me? You’re the one who killed your father.”
I lowered my voice. “How long are you going to keep deceiving yourself? Why do you think Grandma refused to see you for so many years? It’s because you’re a coward who can’t take responsibility. You either run away from problems or blame them on others.”
“But I never imagined you would make up lies, weakly pinning your own mistakes on me, and even resenting me for it.”
“Mom, am I really your daughter?”
Mom’s face instantly turned ashen. She suddenly collapsed to the ground, wailing loudly, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry… It was all Mom’s fault…”
Ryan, who had been standing to the side, also apologized: “Aria, your mom and I both know we were wrong. Can you forgive us just this once?”
“Won’t you come back with us? Your wedding dress, our marital home, I’ve prepared it all. As long as you come back with me, we can have the wedding right away…”
“Shut your mouth! Trying to steal my wife on her wedding day? Who do you think you are?”
Sean appeared at the perfect moment. He pulled me into his arms intimately right in front of Ryan.
Just like how Ryan used to hold other women in front of me.
Seeing Ryan’s extremely awkward expression, I found it quite amusing.
“Honey, I don’t want these irrelevant people at our wedding.”
Sean indulged my every wish. He smiled and tapped my nose. “Whatever my wife says goes.”
He called for security and had Ryan and my mom unceremoniously bundled out of the wedding venue and dumped by the roadside.
In life, some people will fade away like smoke, never again stirring even a ripple in my heart.
And some people will remain in my heart, in my life, accompanying me for a lifetime.
I touched up my makeup to perfection, put on the most magnificent wedding dress, and picked up the most beautiful bouquet.
Step by step, I walked towards my most handsome husband.
