At the wedding, Lucas Thorne's childhood sweetheart showed up with their child. She knelt on the ground and begged me, "I have a terminal illness, and this child is my only hope." Lucas asked me to make a choice. Fearing I would refuse, the childhood sweetheart threatened to take her own life to keep the child with him. She cried to Lucas: "I don't have long to live anyway. If I die now, it will prove that we are innocent." "The child will forget I was his biological mother, as long as you are happy." The next second. She waved a knife at herself but was stopped by the security guards I had prepared in advance. I smiled and said: "Don't die. The wedding is off. It's best for the child to be raised by his biological parents." In my previous life, I was forced to become the child's stepmother. And the death of the childhood sweetheart became an insurmountable chasm between Lucas and me. He even imprisoned me as revenge. Causing me to die of depression. So this time, my life will not be dictated by anyone. 1 "Mia Stone, do you take Lucas Thorne to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part?" These wedding vows are so old-fashioned. I curled my lips and counted down silently in my heart: five, four, three... Lucas whispered to remind me, "Mia, it's your turn." Two, one. As the last number fell, two figures, one large and one small, appeared at the church entrance. I turned slowly. We meet again. Chloe Brooks dragged her son, Chase, to me and knelt down without a word. Then she started crying: "Miss Stone, please help me! "This is Lucas's child, Chase." The crowd was in an uproar. Chloe hurriedly explained: "Miss Stone, don't misunderstand. I'm not here to ruin your wedding with Lucas. "I have a terminal illness and won't live long. This child is my only hope. I hope you can keep him and treat him as your own." She pushed Chase towards me, "Chase, call her Mom!" Chase glared at me hatefully, "No! She's not my mom, she's a bad woman! She stole my dad. Bitch, go die!" Chloe waited until Chase finished cursing before scolding him: "Chase, don't talk nonsense!" She looked at Lucas with tears in her eyes, "Lucas, hurry up and promise Miss Stone that you don't love me anymore. "As long as your family of three can be happy, I'm willing to die right now! "I don't have long to live anyway. dying now can prove that we are innocent." "The child will forget I was his biological mother, as long as you are happy." Lucas turned to look at me, "Mia, I'll listen to you." "..." The child is so big, dying can't prove innocence, right? Before I could speak, Chloe suddenly pulled out a fruit knife from behind and raised her hand to stab her stomach. "Miss Stone, if I die now, it will definitely not affect your wedding with Lucas!" This scene was too familiar to me. In my last life, it was like this. Chloe died at my wedding with Lucas. By the time I reacted, I was forced to be Chase's stepmother. Chase cursed me as a bad woman every day. Lucas hated me deeply, blamed Chloe's death entirely on me, and even imprisoned me, torturing me daily. I died in that small, dark basement. So in this life, I hired bodyguards in advance. At the same time, let everyone see with their own eyes that this drama was created by Lucas and Chloe, and I am not to blame. The bodyguards on the side were ready to go. The next second they rushed up, one kicked the knife out of Chloe's hand, and the other pinned her to the ground. I took a step back, pretending to be frightened, "Oh my God! If you want to die, die somewhere else. How could your death here not affect the wedding?" "Forget it." I shook my head and smiled: "Don't die. The wedding is off. It's best for the child to be raised by his biological parents." 2 After my words fell, the first to react were Lucas's parents, Arthur Thorne and Sarah Thorne. "Mia, don't say angry words. The wedding is about to end." "Don't worry, even if this child is really Lucas's, our Thorne family won't acknowledge him. No one can threaten your status." I looked at Lucas again. His dark eyes were deep, making it impossible to see what he was thinking. I raised my eyebrows slightly, "Lucas, is this your attitude too?" Lucas opened his thin lips slightly, "I..." "Look how pitiful she is." I looked at Chloe who was still pinned to the ground, "How much courage does a woman need to make a scene at a wedding for you? She loves you so much, are you really unwilling to give her a wedding?" Lucas looked surprised, "Mia, you..." "This child is also quite pitiful, growing up in a single-parent family. Lucas, you should give him a complete family. After all, he is your own flesh and blood." Lucas's tense face finally cracked, "Mia..." I walked up to Chase, bent down and looked into his eyes, "Kid, I returned your dad to you. Don't say I'm a bad woman anymore." Chase blinked, "You're willing to return my dad to me?" I sighed and looked at Chloe on the ground with condemnation, "You too, how can you teach a child these messy things? If you want your child to acknowledge his ancestors, you can just tell me directly. I'll withdraw. Is it necessary to teach the child to swear and call me a bitch?" Chloe struggled to deny, "I didn't, I didn't teach him!" "You didn't teach him?" I frowned slightly, somewhat disgusted, "Then your child learned these words on his own, which is indeed quite uneducated. You better teach him well." I looked at Lucas again, "See, a child can't do without a father. He is still young and should be salvageable. You take him back and educate him well, don't let people scold your child behind his back for having a mother but no father to teach him." Lucas's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Without looking, he could also feel the strange looks from the relatives and guests present. I walked down to my parents and removed myself from this embarrassing drama. "Mom, Dad, let's go. This is the Thorne family's business, and it's not our place to manage it." "Let's go." My dad maintained his dignity on the surface, but his aura vividly conveyed his anger and displeasure to everyone. Arthur and Sarah walked over quickly, looking anxious and pleading. "Old Stone, the wedding is about to end, we are all family..." My dad snorted coldly: "We haven't got the marriage certificate yet, so we aren't family. You have a daughter-in-law and a grandson now, and you still want my daughter to live with their family of three?" "Not a family of three!" Sarah was anxious, losing her usual elegance, and hurriedly called Lucas, "Lucas, what are you doing? Hurry over and clarify!" Her tone carried a hint of reminder, "Say it, say you only like Mia, hurry up!" Lucas swept a cold glance at Chloe, took long strides, and walked towards me confidently. He looked at me solemnly and affectionately, "Mia, rest assured, my wife will only be you, and the mistress of the Thorne family will only be you." Chloe screamed: "Lucas, you can abandon me, but you can't abandon our son..." Lucas turned his head slightly, his voice low, "Shut up." He turned back, "Mia, I'm sorry, it's my fault for not handling my history cleanly. Rest assured, I will give you an explanation." The chill and hatred in my heart intertwined and surged continuously. So he also knew he couldn't break up with me directly now. Because he needed the marriage alliance with me to consolidate his position, and the entire Thorne family needed the pull of our Stone family. So in the last life, he chose to marry me, and only after getting everything he wanted did he start torturing me. Disgusting. I sneered, "A man who doesn't even want the person he loved deeply and his own flesh and blood? Do you think I would want such a man?" 3 After I left with my parents, those who came to the wedding for our family's sake naturally left too. It is said that after I left, the wedding scene was desolate. Before Arthur and Sarah could speak, relatives from both the Thorne and Stone families began to complain. "The wedding didn't happen, and the Stone family is thoroughly offended. What do you say we do?" "Those big shots didn't give our family any face. Once the Stone family left, they all followed!" "Give our family face? Our family is nothing!" "We finally climbed up to such a big backer as the Stone family, and now it's all ruined..." ... These complaints were like sharp knives, stabbing Lucas all over. He fell out with Chloe on the spot, "Who gave you the courage to make a scene at my wedding? Did I tell you I would solve Chase's problem? Did you take my words as a breeze past your ears?" Chloe sobbed aggrievedly, "How do I know if you were coaxing me? I got sick, and my biggest worry is Chase. I did this for Chase's good! "I also told Miss Stone that Chase would treat her as his own mother. I gave her a big son for free, what is she unwilling about?" Relatives of the Thorne and Stone families began to talk all at once. "Lucas, hurry up and coax Mia back." "What kind of taste do you have to have a child with such a woman." "Mia is right, this child is just uneducated!" "What does a child know? Those words sounded like they were taught by an adult." "Miss Chloe, you don't need to deny it, don't treat us as fools." ... Chloe became the target of public criticism. In fact, she originally thought Lucas would stand by her side. She grabbed Lucas's arm, tears streaming down her face, miserable and pitiful, "Lucas, I really just want to fight for a good future for our son..." Lucas flung Chloe's hand away and roared: "Then why did you teach Chase those words? Now that the Stone family people are driven away, who do I marry? Marry you? Not to mention you have a terminal illness and are dying, even if you weren't sick, what can you help me with?" Chloe also knew she couldn't help Lucas even a little bit, lowered her head and cried. "Cry, cry, cry, you only know how to cry!" Lucas was impatient to the extreme, "Stupid and disobedient, Chloe, fortunately you won't live long, otherwise I would be dragged to death by you!" He pointed at Chloe, "Behave yourself. If you dare to act rashly again, I won't care about the son." Glaring at Chloe fiercely, Lucas promised the relatives on both sides: "Don't worry, I will coax Mia back. She loves me very much and won't reject me so easily." 4 I heard all this afterward. At that time, I was crying in my parents' arms. My parents were furious, comforting me while scolding Lucas. "Mia, don't cry, this isn't over!" "My daughter has grown up without suffering any grievances. Who do the Thorne family think they are? Daring to make my daughter suffer in front of so many people, I think they don't want to live!" But my parents didn't know, I wasn't crying because of today's grievance. In my last life, after Lucas and I got married, Lucas acted in front of me at first. Until I completely let down my guard, the Stone family and the Thorne family united for better development... Lucas got everything he wanted, revealed his true colors, and locked me up. Before I died, I didn't even see my parents for the last time. I dared not think about how sorrowful they would be seeing my corpse in the last life. I hate Lucas, and I hate myself. It was me who let my parents taste the most extreme pain in this world. I wiped away my tears and drilled out of my mom's arms, "Mom, Dad, I'm not aggrieved, nor sad. I just feel sorry for making you lose face." My dad paused, "You cried like this just for that?" My mom also breathed a sigh of relief, "What's a little loss of face for me and your dad? Don't cry. "But tell mom the truth, do you... still like Lucas?" I shook my head, "No." My mom and dad looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction, "Good, our daughter isn't lovestruck." "This isn't being lovestruck. A man with such loose morals simply can't be wanted." My dad's tone was full of disdain. Seemed like there was also a pride in his own super morals. I was still crying, but burst out laughing upon hearing this, then stood up, "I'll go back to my room to change clothes." Dragging the huge wedding dress back to the room, I took a shower and removed my makeup first. Just after changing clothes and going downstairs, I saw Lucas. He strode over, stopped at the stairs, and looked up at me. "Mia, I came to apologize to you." I looked down at him, "What are you apologizing for?" Lucas's affectionate eyes were full of apology, "I made you suffer. Losing such face at our wedding today, I deserve to die. "But Mia, this was also an accident to me. "The child thing was indeed my fault, but that was a long time ago. Chloe and I broke up long ago." Hope overflowed from the bottom of his eyes as he tentatively said: "Mia, everyone has history. You won't break up with me because of a relationship I had a few years ago, right?"
