If the marriage had been decided at such a young age, it must have been an arranged marriage. Sigrid felt sorry for Rachel, but she couldn't really blame it on her parents. After all, arranged marriages were very common among the filthy rich, so it wasn't really their fault. Children borne into those families were predestined to suffer that fate the moment of their birth. In a way, it was a form of payment for the privilege and wealth they could enjoy. What's more, it seemed that marriages were becoming increasingly short-lived recently. When Sigrid was surfing the Internet, she also saw many news reporting about family feuds and learned about the terrifying divorce rate in recent years. "The fact that she escaped from the marriage is pitiful enough. Why did you have to say that she deserved it?" Sigrid asked in a soft voice. "If you were in her shoes, would you have objected to the marriage if you were in love with me then?" "If my fiancée were you, do you th
Rachel felt that at that moment her pupils had dilated so wide from the shock that she didn't need to wear contact lenses to achieve those pretty big bright eyes she loved. When she came to her senses, she began spamming Sigrid with messages, enquiring about what was actually going on. Rachel texted, "What's going on!! Are you serious?" "Wait, how do you know that I ran away from the marriage? How do you know that my fiancé is Cyrus!" "Oh my God, I am so excited now. Are you joking with me? If you dare to make such a joke with me, I'm so going to hit you!" The many exclamation marks showed the excitement in Rachel's heart at that moment. Her heart was beating so fast that she felt like it was going to burst out of her chest! Rachel thought to herself, "Cyrus is my fiancé! Why did I act so impulsively? How could I have run away! If only I stayed at home and accepted the wedding, everything would be in place now!" Sigrid replied, "I he
George said seriously, "I remember in the past, you would smile at me and address me as your brother-in-law and flirt with me. Then, you act indifferent. Were you playing hard to get? You flirted with me then ignored me." Sigrid was even more confused. "Well, it's not like I could just ignore you when I met you! Also, how is addressing you as my brother-in-law in any way flirtatious?" "Weren't you the one who said that calling me 'brother-in-law' would put you in the mood?" George raised his eyebrow. Sigrid's face suddenly flushed red. "I was just saying that in front of Rebecca. Why do you always talk about all this nonsense? I didn't mean anything by addressing you like that." George was still not convinced. "Yeah, you didn't mean anything, it just puts you in the mood." Sigrid gnashed her teeth, she could no longer stand the term "brother-in-law" anymore. "I don't want to talk to you anymore. You always like to twist my words." Sigrid pouted in d
After the words left her mouth, Rachel realized that she had said something inappropriate. Talking about a threesome was the perfect way to ruin her image. Nevertheless, it was too late to go back on her words. She could only weep in her heart that she had lost that innocent image she was trying to portray in front of Cyrus! An innocent lady wouldn't know what a threesome was, much less talk about it! Rachel coughed awkwardly and then said, "Aren't you going to have supper? Let's get ready!" "Okay." Cyrus took the two big bags of dishes into the kitchen and asked Caleb to take out the plates and cutleries. Rachel wanted to help, too. She asked whether there was anything she could do, and then began to help Caleb to prepare the supper. There were three sets of lamb chop, a set of seafood, and some vegetables. Besides, there were also some snacks like chestnuts. Rachel's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the chestnuts. People in City B lik
After drying her hair, Sigrid thought for a moment and said, "Let's go for the merry-go-round next." George was taken aback for a moment before he gazed over at the merry-go-round not far away. It was the last thing he wanted. He could still accept all the previous attractions since there were plenty of adults riding them. However, the merry-go-round was crammed with women and children. If he were to go... George could imagine that he would be stared down by everyone else. "Let's go!" Sigrid dragged him to the merry-go-round. "There's a pumpkin carriage which can accommodate two people. Let's go for a few rounds. No one is going to stare at us!" George reluctantly agreed to it only when he heard it was a pumpkin carriage. It would be ridiculous if he had to get on a horse of the merry-go-round. The two of them went to the merry-go-round and went into the VIP lane. They had to wait for this batch of people to finish their round before it was their
George said, "Fair enough, but there's no way I'm going to experience that." A man overflowing with confidence indeed, for he had every reason to feel that way. Sigrid devoured a few spicy chicken drumsticks and left all the regular non-spicy ones for George. Her mouth became slightly swollen due to the spiciness. Besides, as the chicken was deep-fried, her lips were smeared greasily, giving it a glossy appearance... George gulped down his saliva. Originally, he had felt that the junk food was not too bad, but as he watched her, the food soon got stripped of his previous compliment. It was not as tasty as her lips. She was the most delicious meal in the world that he would never tire of. Sigrid only concentrated on eating as her campus didn't have a KFC. She had been too occupied during summer break that she didn't have the time to indulge in such food. The last time she had KFC was roughly around winter break. She had missed it so much si
Sigrid was puzzled. "Is it necessary for me to have been busy to have taken such a long time to return your call?" Even if she had all the free time in the world, she would not reply to him immediately! Who did he think he was? If it wasn't for the fact that she was trying to prove her steely temper to that snotty George, she would never have called him back. Edward was silent for a moment before he said, "My wedding with Rebecca was supposed to be held around mid-December, but something came up. About half a month ago, Rebecca found out she was pregnant, hence we have no choice but to bring it forward. After all, there will be a lot of reporters on our big day. If she were to show up with a big belly, the media will definitely say it's a shotgun wedding." Sigrid looked down at her flat tummy, and a strange feeling washed over her. At that moment, Sigrid didn't know how exactly she felt about Edward. She couldn't say that she didn't have any feelings for him w
Sigrid had thoroughly considered everything. Later, she was dropped off at the Vincent family by James. As she dragged her suitcase into the Vincents' home, she noticed many familiar faces in the living room. Among the bridesmaids that Rebecca had invited, some of them had been her friends when they were still in college, and a few more were artists in the entertainment industry. "Sigrid, you're back. Just on time. We were just talking about the bridesmaid dresses and I've left your dress in your room. Go and try it out, see if it fits." Sigrid nodded and went upstairs without saying anything. As she headed up the staircase, she could still pick up the bits and pieces from the conversation downstairs. "That's your sister? She looks more gorgeous than in the photos." "No wonder you said that there's immense pressure on you. She looks like an easy girl, especially those beguiling eyes." The corners of Sigrid's mouth twitched and she thoug
