President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 234

“No, I’ll leave alone. I promised Sean I will leave on my own.”

I just told Sean that.

I wanted to reassure him.

Ming was reluctant. I went on persuading him. At last I convinced him.

It rained that night on this island where it didn’t often rain.

Sean stood with me in the cabin on the dock.

It was raining all the time.

A sailor ran in from the outside. “Mr. Jessop, I think it’s going to rain for hours. It will be dangerous if we go by boat.”

“Then don’t leave.” Sean looked at me.

It was too dark for me to see his expression.

He reached out and wanted to put his big hand behind my back. I took a step forward and took out my cell phone and said to Sean, “President Jessop, it’s past twelve. In a sense, you are Miss Lewis’s husband today.”

“Yes.”

Sean responded to me.

I thought for a moment, “since God doesn’t want me to leave, I won’t leave. I really want to see President Jessop as a groom. The last time I married you, you just walked the red carpet.”

“June…”

“President Jessop, please call me by my full name.”

With that, I took my luggage and was about to walk out in the rain when I saw a man coming with an umbrella under the dim yellow light not far away.

Ming.

He went to the cabin and looked at me, “it’s been raining. I don’t think you’ll leave, so come to pick you up.”

“OK.” I felt warm when I saw Ming. I smiled and said, “thank you. I was just thinking about how to get back.”

With that, I went directly to Ming’s umbrella.

I looked back at Sean and smiled, “President Jessop, go back, or you’ll get married with dark eye circles tomorrow.”

Sean stood there without saying a word.

The light didn’t shine on his face, but I could feel his sadness.

By the time Ming and I left, he said nothing.

It rained all that night. I stood at the window and seemed to see a man standing in the rain. But I didn’t seem to see it again.

I drew the curtains and stayed up all night in bed.

The next morning, Jessie came to make me up as usual.

Today, he tried his best to make me beautiful.

But the face he adjusted for me today was most like my original face.

I put on the dress I had prepared before and went to the wedding.

When we arrived, there were already many people at the wedding site. Ming was with me. As soon as we arrived, a middle-aged couple greeted him.

I thought they were familiar at first sight.

“Ming.” The man came up and looked at me. He smiled mysteriously. “When did you have a girlfriend? You didn’t tell me.”

“No.” Ming smiled and introduced to me, “they are my brother and sister-in-law, and also Sean’s parents.”

Sean’s parents, Simon and Monica.

I just remembered that I gave tea to these two elders at the wedding.

They didn’t seem to recognize me. I quickly respectfully said, “Hello, I am...”

“Aren’t you Sean's ex-wife?”

Monica recognized me before I introduced myself.

I froze and didn’t know what to say.

Ming explained, “no, it’s her sister Molly. She’s June.”

“Is that so?” Monica looked at me in disbelief.

Ming’s parents had been doing business abroad for many years and rarely came back, so they didn’t seem to know what happened to Sean and me.

“Yes, they are twins.” Simon reminded, “we met her then. Her experience is similar to Ming’s. She lived in an orphanage as a child and didn’t go home until she went to college.”

“Oh! Yes.” Monica remembered, but her eyes were still unfriendly, and she said, “why do you sisters keep pestering Jessop Family?”

What Simon and Monica said made me a little confused.

Ming said quickly, “we have to leave first. See you later.”

“All right.”

Monica said. I walked a long way and looked back to see that she was still looking at me.

Her eyes were strange.

Ming pulled me and apologized, “I’m sorry. I don’t have a high position in Jessop Family so they don’t pay attention to my feelings. They hurt you.”

“No.” I quickly shook my head and smiled, “I’m almost like you, and I was sneered at every day in the Carter Family. I’m used to it.”

Ming patted my hair, “I won’t take you to such an activity in the future. I’ll only take you where you want to go.”

I looked up at him and didn’t understand what he meant.

It sounded like we were not just friends anymore.

Because it was a western wedding, there were only a few rows of chairs.

The elders and some important relatives sat in front, and Ming and I stood in the back.

Time flied. When I felt bored, there was a commotion in the crowd.

I saw Sean in a black suit. Cindy in a white wedding dress was by his side.

They stood side by side.

Cindy’s wedding dress was beautiful and pure white as snow. It had beautiful lace on its shoulders and sleeves and a long hem.

All the people present surrounded them.

Only I stood still and even wanted to escape.

I always thought I could accept it, but when I saw them standing together, I knew I couldn’t.

The band played a lovely piano piece.

They were guided by the staff to the venue of the ceremony.

I stood in the corner and looked at them.

Cindy was holding Sean’s wrist. At that moment, a strange emotion rose in my heart.

I knew it was jealousy.

When I looked at Sean, I found his eyes were bloodshot.

When I saw him, he was looking at me.

We looked at each other. I was a little flustered!

I quickly lowered my head.

The guests sat down in succession.

After about ten minutes, one of the staff shouted, “the ceremony begins.”

The wedding march began to play.

At this moment, I finally looked up.

I saw Sean and Cindy, the main characters of the wedding, standing at one end of the red carpet.
