Synopsis
Three days before my wedding.
My fiancé suddenly called me and said he had come from five years in the future.
“Our wedding has to be postponed!”
“Otherwise, three days from now, you’ll become depressed and kill yourself at the wedding after everyone finds out you’re a fake heiress.”
My heart trembled.
Before I could say anything, bullet comments suddenly flashed before my eyes.
【Girl, don’t believe him!】
【The time travel and the fake-heiress story are both lies he made up for his pregnant best friend, Lily!】
The voice on the phone kept urging me.
Without showing any emotion, I tore up every invitation.
He didn’t know that I was the one who had traveled back from five years in the future.
This time, I had already chosen a different groom.
Less than ten minutes after the call ended, Ethan arrived in front of me, breathing heavily.
“I know this sounds unbelievable, but I would never lie to you.”
The bullet comments went wild before my eyes.
【Don’t believe him!】
【He only made up this lie to postpone the wedding for Lily’s birthday party three days from now!】
I expressionlessly took two steps back.
“Whether I’m my parents’ biological daughter or not, don’t you think I would know?”
“You’re only postponing the wedding because of Lily’s birthday!”
Once his clumsy lie was exposed, panic filled Ethan’s face.
“You… already know?”
But soon, he relaxed.
“Lily only developed Baby Syndrome because she was trying to save you.”
“I believe you can understand that.”
The bullet comments appeared before my eyes again.
【What Baby Syndrome? It’s all just an excuse!】
【Lily only had a few scratches back then. She never had any aftereffects!】
I wouldn’t learn the truth until five years later.
A wave of sadness rose in my chest.
I was just about to speak when Lily came running over.
A tiny baby bottle hung from her chest and bounced with every step.
I remembered it.
Ethan had custom-made it for Lily.
To get that pendant, he had even abandoned me at the beach.
The wind was freezing that night as I limped home alone. Even now, my hands and feet still felt cold whenever I thought about it.
“Ethan, the baby’s leg hurts so much. Why didn’t you wait for me?”
Ethan was heartbroken and hurriedly helped her sit down.
He carefully massaged her calf. “Does it feel better now?”
Every bullet comment before my eyes was filled with disgust.
【If her foot hurts, why did she run over here?】
【Is she afraid our girl won’t know she’s with Ethan, so she came here to show off?】
Seeing the crystal shoes on Lily’s feet, which were obviously the wrong size, I couldn’t help sneering inwardly.
She had always been like this in my previous life.
Sometimes her leg hurt and needed massaging.
Other times her chest hurt and she needed him to press against her.
Back then, I tolerated everything because I thought she had become this way for my sake.
But now, I picked up a shoe from the floor and threw it at her.
“I’ve never seen a three-hundred-month-old baby before.”
“If you’re not crippled, stand up yourself!”
Lily froze for a moment, then quickly covered her face and began sobbing softly.
“The baby hurts. Big Sister is scary!”
Ethan immediately shoved me away and glared at me furiously.
“Claire, what the hell is wrong with you? Lily is already timid. How could she stand being scared like that?”
I lost my balance and fell to the floor.
The skin on my arm was scraped open, and thin lines of blood seeped out.
A trace of guilt flashed through Ethan’s eyes.
He was just about to help me up when Lily leaned over my arm and began rubbing it vigorously.
“It’s all the baby’s fault. Big Sister hates me because I did something wrong. Let the baby blow on it for you.”
The pain made me instinctively raise my hand.
Lily immediately fell weakly to the floor.
Ethan hurriedly helped her up and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Then he looked at me with a dark expression.
“Claire, can you stop making a scene?”
“If it weren’t for you, why would Lily only have the intelligence of a six-year-old?”
The bullet comments were all indignant on my behalf.
【She’s pregnant and still has the mind of a six-year-old?】
【She’s just using your guilt and your girl’s guilt to get into your bed and control you!】
My entire body stiffened.
In my previous life, Ethan had always insisted that he and Lily were completely innocent.
But this was what his version of “innocent” looked like.
A wave of nausea churned in my stomach.
I bent over and began dry-heaving.
Panic flashed through Ethan’s eyes. He was just about to help me up when I gritted my teeth and knocked his hand away.
“Ethan, Lily doesn’t have Baby Syndrome at all!”
“Our wedding… is canceled!”Ethan’s expression changed immediately.
Even his voice trembled. “Claire, what did you say?”
The moment he finished speaking, Lily fainted beside him.
Ethan hurriedly scooped her up and carried her outside.
As he passed me, he glanced at me indifferently.
“Claire, you don’t need to lie just because you’re jealous.”
“If it weren’t for Lily, you’d be dead already!”
The bullet comments were all filled with disgust.
【If it weren’t for Lily, our girl would have been so happy!】
【You idiot. You’d rather trust an outsider than your own fiancée!】
Watching Ethan rush outside, I gave a self-mocking laugh and turned around to pack my things.
There were quite a few of Ethan’s belongings in the house.
I didn’t finish packing until dawn.
Just then, the door opened.
When Ethan saw the packed belongings, he hurried over and pulled me into his arms.
Lily’s faint milky scent filled my nose.
“Claire, I’m only good to Lily because I’m repaying her for saving you.”
“Don’t fight with me over her, okay?”
For the five years that followed, he had always coaxed me this way.
Back then, I foolishly thought everything he did was for me.
When I found out that Lily didn’t have any aftereffects from Baby Syndrome, I immediately told him.
But he only frowned and told me not to go too far.
“You’re slandering your own best friend because you’re jealous. Don’t you think you’re disgusting?”
“I believe Lily would never lie to me! I’ll take care of her for the rest of my life!”
My thoughts returned to the present, and I shoved Ethan away in disgust.
“I’m not fighting with you. My groom…”
Before I could finish, Ethan’s phone began ringing urgently.
After he hung up, he grabbed me and ran outside.
“Lily’s condition is getting worse. She can’t be without me now!”
As soon as we arrived at Ethan’s house, Lily threw herself into his arms.
“Ethan, the baby missed you so much!”
A trace of helplessness flashed in Ethan’s eyes as he looked at me, but he ultimately didn’t push Lily away.
He only explained carefully, “Don’t overthink it. Lily is just used to having me around.”
I shrugged indifferently.
“My best friend doesn’t want me around, but she’s used to having you.”
“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you two were a couple.”
The sarcasm made Ethan’s face flush red.
He hesitated, unsure how to explain.
Lily bit her lip and shoved the baby-bottle pendant into my mouth.
“Don’t be mad, Big Sister. You can drink too.”
【Drink my ass! Who doesn’t know there’s something drugged inside that thing?】
【If you hadn’t drugged him, Ethan never would have slept with you!】
I looked at the bullet comments, then at Lily’s deliberately foolish expression.
I frowned and slapped her hand away. “Get lost!”
The baby-bottle pendant flew in an arc and fell out the window.
“Ethan gave that to me! Don’t!”
Lily immediately made a fuss and tried to grab it.
Ethan hurriedly stopped her.
When he saw her tearful, pitiful expression, the trace of guilt he had felt toward me was completely swallowed by anger.
“Claire, do you have no heart? Lily only wanted to get closer to you!”
“Apologize to her!”
I sneered. “Is she even worthy?”
The veins on Ethan’s forehead throbbed with anger.
“If you don’t apologize to Lily today, you can forget about marrying me for the rest of your life!”
During the five years of my previous life, Ethan had threatened me with canceling the wedding countless times.
Every time, my heart had hurt so badly that I could barely breathe.
But now, I only glanced at him coldly.
“Then we won’t get married.”
“Besides, the groom I’m marrying isn’t you.”Ethan’s face instantly darkened.
His grip on my arm tightened. “Claire, what nonsense are you talking about?”
The moment he finished speaking, Lily jumped out of the window.
Ethan’s expression changed, and he ran outside in a panic.
He was so anxious that his left foot caught on his right, and he crashed heavily to the ground.
Yet he seemed not to feel any pain at all. He only cared about lifting Lily from the ground.
“Lily, don’t worry. I’ll never let anything happen to you!”
Lily smiled and held up the baby-bottle pendant in front of Ethan.
“Ethan gave it to me. The baby picked it back up.”
After saying that, her hand dropped, and she fainted.
Looking at the blood staining the ground, Ethan raised his eyes to me, his gaze filled with hatred.
“Claire, if anything happens to Lily, I’ll never forgive you!”
I hadn’t expected Lily to actually jump out of the window.
My heart tightened.
But the bullet comments before my eyes were full of mockery.
【It’s only the first floor. Could she really die from jumping?】
【Girl, don’t soften up! Lily did it on purpose to make you feel guilty!】
Lily had always said I was too softhearted.
“People will take advantage of you because you’re like this!”
But now, she had become the person who manipulated my soft heart and bullied me again and again.
When I bitterly rushed to the hospital, Lily was already fine.
She leaned pitifully against Ethan’s chest.
“The baby made Ethan sad. I’m sorry.”
Ethan lovingly tucked her loose hair behind her ear.
“As long as you and the baby are safe, I won’t be sad.”
The moment he finished speaking, he noticed me standing to one side.
He hurriedly stood up. “Claire, listen to me.”
I didn’t move. I only looked at him indifferently.
“That day was an accident.”
“But the baby is innocent. Once Lily gives birth, I’ll marry you immediately.”
“You can understand that, right?”
The bullet comments were filled with disgust.
【Stop disgusting our girl!】
【Why should she understand the things you did wrong?】
I let out a cold laugh.
I was just about to speak when Lily walked over.
She grabbed the hem of my clothes. “Big Sister, the baby is marrying Ethan tomorrow. Are you coming?”
Her voice was sweet and coquettish, but her eyes were full of provocation.
Ethan hurriedly added, “Lily only saw a wedding dress in a video and thought it looked pretty. She just wants to be a bride once.”
“Don’t worry. It’s only an act. You’re the only person I truly want to marry.”
I sneered. “I’m not going.”
The moment I finished speaking, Lily began crying in grievance.
“Big Sister really does hate the baby.”
Ethan immediately coaxed her softly. “Don’t worry, Lily. No one in this world will hate you.”
When he turned back to me, the last trace of guilt in his eyes had completely disappeared.
“You have to come to my wedding with Lily tomorrow.”
“Otherwise, people might think Lily is the other woman, and she’ll be upset again.”
The bullet comments were all defending me.
【You care so much about whether Lily will be upset, but don’t care whether our girl is hurt?】
I shook my head with a quiet laugh. “I can’t go. I’m getting married tomorrow.”
Ethan clearly didn’t believe me.
He looked at me as if I were being unreasonable.
“Lily has endured people’s contempt for you for all these years. Why can’t you sacrifice this one time?”
“You have to come tomorrow! As for our wedding, I’ll make it up to you later!”
Looking at his righteous expression, I found him ridiculous.
But when I remembered how firmly he believed Lily had suffered for me, I suddenly wanted to give him a special wedding gift.
I smiled and nodded. “Fine. I’ll come tomorrow.”Early the next morning, Ethan came to pick me up.
When he saw me wearing a wedding dress, his brows drew together.
“Didn’t I tell you that I’d make up for your wedding later?”
“Go change out of that dress!”
The bullet comments were furious.
【Who wants your compensation? Stop disgusting people!】
【Our girl is obviously the main character today!】
I gently pinched the edge of my skirt.
“I’m not changing.”
The dress had been designed for me by a man himself and specially flown in from overseas that morning.
Thinking of him warmed my heart, and the corners of my lips lifted slightly.
“This dress isn’t for you.”
Ethan clearly didn’t believe me.
He glanced at his watch.
Perhaps he was running out of time, because he frowned and dragged me straight into the car.
“As long as you don’t make a scene and ruin Lily’s wedding, you can do whatever you want!”
I quietly looked out the window and gave a careless little laugh.
“I won’t make a scene. I’m still waiting to give you a special wedding gift.”
Ethan stared at me for two seconds.
He was just about to say something when the car stopped outside the hotel.
Lily greeted us with a bright smile and hooked her arm through Ethan’s.
“Ethan, does the baby look pretty?”
Curious eyes instantly focused on me.
When I saw the wedding dress Lily was wearing, my fingers tightened.
It was the dress Ethan and I had chosen together on my birthday.
Back then, he had looked at me expectantly.
“Claire, I really wish you could marry me today.”
But now, it was being worn by another woman.
If this had been my old life, I would have rushed over in a rage and torn Lily’s dress to pieces.
But now, I only relaxed my fingers slightly and gave a soft laugh.
When Ethan noticed my smile, a complicated emotion I couldn’t understand appeared in his eyes.
Lily, however, seemed suddenly provoked and lunged at me.
“Today is the baby’s wedding! Big Sister isn’t allowed to wear the same dress as me!”
Her long fingernails suddenly raked across my face, leaving a bright red scratch.
Ethan acted as if he hadn’t seen it.
Before I could react, he guarded Lily behind him.
“Claire, don’t provoke Lily. Take off that dress right now!”
I casually wiped away the blood and raised my hand, striking him hard across the face.
“Who do you think you are to tell me to take off my wedding dress?”
The bullet comments instantly erupted in cheers.
【The Slap Princess is online! Beat that scumbag!】
Ethan was so stunned by the slap that he didn’t recover for a moment.
Only when Lily rose onto her toes and planted a sympathetic kiss on his cheek did he finally regain his senses.
“Baby’s giving Ethan a kiss. Ethan doesn’t hurt anymore!”
Only then did he glare at me furiously.
“When will you ever be half as sensible as Lily?”
“Since you insist on making a scene, don’t blame me for humiliating you!”
“Today is my wedding with Lily. You have no right to steal the spotlight!”
With that, he waved over the bodyguards.
“Strip the wedding dress off her!”
When I saw the bodyguards surrounding me, fear instantly rose in my heart.
I gritted my teeth and backed away. After stumbling two steps, I suddenly fell into a warm embrace.
A familiar voice sounded beside my ear.
“Today is my wedding with Claire. What right do you have to take her dress off?”
