Mocked For Loving Him, I Married Anothe

Synopsis

On my thirtieth birthday, Elliot Layfield asked me to meet him at the city hall. He specifically told me to wear a wedding dress and bring my ID. He said he prepared a big birthday surprise for me. But when I arrived at the entrance, he laughed with the group of friends behind him. He said, "See that? She really showed up in a wedding dress with her ID. Pay up, all of you." Then he turned to me and raised an eyebrow. "Faye, it was just a joke. You didn't take it seriously, right?" When I stayed silent, he grinned again. "If you're really that desperate to get married, you can just go inside and grab any random guy to marry." Everyone burst into laughter. They mocked me as Elliot's most loyal romantic backup, saying I would rather stay single forever than marry anyone else. However, when I walked out of the city hall with my new husband, holding a freshly issued marriage certificate, Elliot froze in place and went pale.
