I Picked Someone Else After My Fiance Eloped Chapter 1
Most of the attendees at my wedding, who witnessed the spectacle, had left. I was the only one left stunned and in disbelief.My parents consoled me with teary eyes. “Veronica, it’s all our fault. We shouldn’t have rushed you into marriage. Who would’ve thought…?” My fiance, Joe Smith, had fled from our wedding. The man who had kissed my forehead tenderly just the night before had vanished without a trace. I bawled my eyes out in the vanity room until my makeup was completely ruined. I felt incredibly hurt when I looked at the ring on my finger.I had a crush on Joe for three years, and my feelings for him had been evident. He enjoyed the luxury of having home-cooked lunches at work and hangover remedies after drinking out all night. I would always be there for him, come rain or shine. A week ago, Joe got drunk again. He was drowsy as he leaned against me in the back seat of the car. I tried my best to provide him a shoulder to lean on, and my heart swelled with joy from

It started pouring, and I did not bring an umbrella when I rushed to the bar. I had no choice but to stand at the entrance and get a ride through an app.Just then, a car stopped right next to me. I frowned as I glanced at the number plate, but I only managed to make out two identical numbers in the rain. I quickly hopped into the car to escape the downpour. “Thank you, sir. You…”When I looked up, I saw a familiar face. It was my childhood neighbor, Jason Evans. He handed me a towel as he gazed at me calmly and said, “I was rushing back for your wedding dinner. How did you end up in such a mess?” I let out a sigh and slowly dried my hair. “I got dumped. But aren’t you working with crocodiles abroad? Why are you back driving for e-hailing services?” Jason froze briefly and burst into laughter. “I bet that’s not what your mom said. Perhaps she meant I studied finance abroad?”He did not dwell on the subject any further. “Let’s go. I’ll take you home. Don’t worry about that

Joe was furious, and he left without glancing back. The girl followed him happily and flashed me a victorious smile. I arrived home as the sky turned darker. Then, I sat in the living room until nightfall before I finally opened my laptop. As I gazed at the faint blue light, I wiped my tears and submitted my portfolio to various companies.My phone rang twice, and I noticed that it was Jason, who had added my number the night before. He asked if I had eaten already. “Are you still working on your art career? I remember that you’d forget to eat whenever you got really focused. Are you free today? Want to have dinner together?”“I’m home, but I don’t feel like eating,” I replied weakly.Before long, there was a knock on my door. Jason was standing at the entrance with a warm meal box in his hands. “It’s from Mellow Diner. Your mom says you like it, and it’s still hot.”He glanced at me under the dim hallway light and froze. “Who made you cry?” I sighed and let him in.

Jason closed his laptop and stood in front of me with his arms crossed. “What’s wrong?” Joe noticed the distress on my face, and his expression darkened. “Veronica, I want an explanation,” he demanded. I stepped forward and stood beside Jason. Then, I spoke calmly. “Joe, you thought that it was amusing to skip our wedding and make me a laughing stock. From that moment on, we already parted ways.“You were the one who proposed, but it didn’t matter if your parents and friends didn’t come. I didn’t really care about that because I only liked you.“But you treated me like a simp, like someone you could summon or dismiss at will, didn’t you?”Joe became flustered and said, “That night, you…” I nodded. “Yes, that night, I heard you and saw how you allowed Kimberly to kiss you. What happened between you and her after that is irrelevant to me. But that alone is cheating, and it implies that we’re no longer together.” Joe froze momentarily, but he grew agitated and said, “I didn’t a

I did not understand where her deep malice toward me stemmed from. My parents were quite disconnected from the internet. Even so, they heard about the current uproar. They got so furious that they ended up in the hospital, hence I was busy taking care of them.Jason did not seem to be affected by the public’s opinion. He helped me at the hospital, which made my parents happy. “Don’t worry. When the uproar reaches its peak, that would be the best time to fight back.” I sighed in response. We were sitting on a bench in the corridor and sharing some potato stew that I had made. “I don’t really care. Even if we don’t find any evidence, they’ll forget about it in time. I just didn’t want to drag someone innocent like you into this hot mess.” Jason smiled and lowered his head to sip on the stew. Then, he said, “I’m not innocent.”The next day, some extremists vandalized my house with paint and attempted to enter. Fortunately, I was not home, so they did not succeed. When I went

Jason leaned against the railing. Meanwhile, the evening light danced on the surface of the rippling water behind him. “After that, I secured a collaboration with the Smith family and made plans to return for future career development. “Then, I caught you falling head over heels for that fool. “At the party, I asked him if he liked you. He didn’t say much and asked me if I had feelings for you too.” He turned and looked at me with a hint of guilt on his face. “I was too young and impulsive. Feeling competitive at that moment, I nodded.” I did not need him to finish, as I started to remember what had happened. That night, Joe called me at 11 p.m. and asked me to pick him up. He made me wait in the cold at the entrance for an hour before he finally came out. The first thing he did was pinch my face and stare at it for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, “Such an ordinary face…” It took me two years to understand what he meant. How could anyone fall for someone like me?

It was a peaceful night. The next day, Jason came to my house as usual to make breakfast for me. He was getting more skillful at it. Joe happened to ring the doorbell at this time. The smile on his face became frozen when Jason opened the door. “Get lost. I want to speak with Veronica.” Jason stood at the door like a barricade and glared at Kimberly, who was trembling by Joe’s side. “What do you want to talk about? Did you bring your mistress here to cause trouble?” I stirred the porridge in my bowl and stood up in resignation. “What’s wrong? Kimberly, I was generous enough to help you call the police yesterday. Why are you here with your boyfriend to bother me today?”Joe quickly pulled Kimberly aside and anxiously explained, “Veronica, don’t believe what she said. There’s really nothing between us.“Go on and tell her the truth!”Kimberly lowered her head and sobbed. “Sorry, Veronica. I was jealous, and the phone call yesterday had nothing to do with Joe. I just wanted t
