Chapter 9
She looked at me with tears in her eyes and said angrily, “Evelyn, are you feeling proud now? You won, and Ethan doesn’t see me anymore. Are you especially happy?”
I smiled happily and said, “It’s his business to pester persistently, but who likes him except for you? If you like him, just do what you want.”
She was causing a scene, and Ethan rushed in. The servant was trying to stop him, but he looked at me anxiously and said, “Evelyn, don’t listen to her nonsense. I have nothing with her, and the child in her belly is not mine.”
The words that came out of his mouth left everyone stunned. No one had expected that Ava was pregnant.
Ava pounced on him and grabbed him, “What did you say? This child is yours, why don’t you acknowledge him? Do you want him to be born without a father?”
Ethan hurriedly explained to me, “Evelyn, I was sincere with you. I had already booked the wedding venue and the wedding dress. This time, you just need to be a happy bride. I also brought back the sapphire necklace. It will always be yours.”
I frowned at him and said, “Ethan, I was about to get married. I hope you won’t disturb my life anymore. Caleb and I are very happy. You choose the wedding venue and wedding dress for yourself. It’s your wedding, not mine.”
“Do you think I would want a necklace that someone else has worn? Caleb has already given me the most beautiful necklace in the world.”
The necklace on my neck was specially customized by Caleb. It was very special, with each star polished from my favorite meteorite, and made with special inlay, creating a one–of–a–kind necklace in the world.
“We are getting married next month, I won’t invite you, and I don’t want you to come. I hope that from now on, we never have to see each other again.”
“Ethan, the things you lose will never wait for you in the same place.”
Ethan was kicked out without any hope, while Ava, because of causing a big scene, the next day, news about her being pregnant also spread.
The Anderson family stormed to the doorstep of the Carter family, demanding that Ethan take responsibility, as if their lives depended on it.
The Carter family also refused to admit and said, “Who knows if it’s Ethan’s child or not. If you
want us to acknowledge it, let’s do a paternity test first. If it’s Ethan’s, then we’ll get married. If not, don’t come and make false claims.”

As a result, the identification result showed that the child belonged to Ethan. The Carter family had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.
There was no dowry, no wedding ceremony, no informing of relatives and friends, they just had Ethan and Ava go and get a marriage certificate.
On the day they got married, Caleb and I happened to be getting married as well. I was wearing a small white wedding dress, and Caleb even put a small half–face veil on me. It was warm and sweet, and all the brides present were extremely jealous.
Caleb said, “My bride must be the happiest and most beautiful in the world.”
Through the veil, I saw Ethan’s eyes turn red and noticed Ava’s discontent, but none of it mattered
to me anymore.
My wedding with Caleb was very grand. All the influential families attended, as well as two business friends. It was extremely luxurious.
My best friend and I were sitting in the lounge getting our makeup done when we overheard someone gossiping as they passed by. “Have you heard? Ethan and Ava are getting divorced. It is said that Ava, in order to get a chance to perform, actually hooked up with the conductor of the orchestra, and the conductor’s wife caught them in the act, gave Ava a beating, and she had a miscarriage.”
“Ethan found out that no one showed up, and only a lawyer was sent to discuss the divorce.”
“It serves you right.”
He walked away while speaking.
My best friend and I exchanged a smile.
Some relatives and friends came in and said, “Hurry up, it’s time, the bride is about to enter. Today is a good day for the wedding, you must be happy in the future.”
I picked up my bouquet, put on my veil, and the doors of the wedding venue opened to reveal my happiness ahead.
