Chapter 4

The next day, I was at the wedding dress shop, wearing the dress I had picked out before, quietly waiting.

My palm rested on my lower abdomen, where a little life was unknowingly growing.

Last night, I had planned to tell Tyler this good news.

But he gave me such a big "surprise" instead.

I waited until now, not for Tyler, but to give my child's father a chance. If he came today...

If he chose me over Ariana, then perhaps I could give him a chance.

When the clock struck 10, that tiny bit of hope in my heart completely disappeared.

A post appeared on social media, from Ariana.

She looked even more beautiful and radiant than in school, her skin as white as a swan's.

Her caption read: "After all these years of twists and turns, you're still by my side."

Soon, a group of people replied to her.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"The lovers are finally together."

"The ship I've been sailing for years has finally come true."

I didn't have the courage to keep reading, but I still liked her post.

The wedding shop staff finally came over, looking a bit troubled: "Miss, our photographer is ready. What should we..."

I stood up, feeling a bit guilty: "I'm sorry, my fiance may have been in a car accident and is dying in the hospital, so we probably can't take wedding photos today. But don't worry, I'll pay the full amount."

I said this calmly and went to change out of the wedding dress.

The sales girl initially looked sympathetic when hearing about my fiance's accident, but seeing how calm I was about changing, she muttered under her breath.

I didn't look like someone whose fiance was dying at all.

But Tyler was already dead to me in my heart.
