Chapter 22：Beautiful In White

" Perhaps, I was the most beautiful woman on that day, in that white wedding dress. I stood up in a full -length mirror, looking closely at my pretty self. Not only would I be wed to a handsome groom, but would soon be wed to the person who had such a big heart to accept me and my baby in my womb as his own. A man who promised to do all that it takes to learn to love me." She laughed gently.

"Jia, at that moment , I remembered you. And I also remembered Anthon and his pain when you left. I recalled his sleepless nights..."

"It just broke my heart. How could I allow two lovers suffer because of my selfishness? "

Giselle paused and looked at Jia who was already sniffling in her tears.

" Anthon came to see me while I was still on the mirror. He was so handsome on his wedding tux. He hugged me from behind. And he said, " See you later on the altar.. "

"To the people around who witnessed it, it was so sweet of him. But I felt self - pity instead.."

"On the way to the church, I held my purse. Inside was a plane ticket I had booked ahead. That would be for my freedom and the freedom of

Anthon."

" So, when we were halfway to the church, I asked the driver to drop by a pharmacy. But the moment he went out of the car, I also went out and hastily pulled out all the flowers in my bridal car. I , then , took over his seat and drove straight to the airport."

"That way, I was able to save Anthon from the blame. I only came back this year because my parents have already forgiven me. They couldn't wait to see my little girl. "

With this, Giselle giggled while sobbing simultaneously.

After her sobbing subsided, she turned to look again at Jia who was now sobbing loudly. Once in a while, she would stop and sip her coffee in a large gulp then return to her sobbing again. She never said a word all throughout. But then she noticed that her third tall cup was almost consumed.

'Giselle then picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"Anthon, come over and bring some antacid. Your beloved is killing herself."

Terrified, Jia hurriedly stood up and grabbed her phone. Her sobs got even louder.
