The Wedding That Wasn't

Synopsis

Just before the wedding, Spencer Walker's mother, Annie Walker, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her fiancé of seven years suddenly announced he would marry someone else. The reason was that it was his mother's last wish. Spencer sighed tiredly, looking at his trembling fiancée. "Abrielle, listen to me. Rosie and I are just pretending to marry. Once the wedding is over, we'll divorce, and I'll marry you. You don't want me to be called an unfilial son, do you?" Abrielle Buckley's body trembled, her fingertips digging into her palms, almost not believing what she was hearing. "How can a legally certified marriage be fake? Spencer, do you think I'm a child? I've been with you for seven years, and you're treating me like this?" A flicker of emotion passed through Spencer's eyes, but his expression remained calm. "I can't let my mother die with regret." "And what about me?" Abrielle forced out a smile, uglier than tears, her voice trembling. "You promised, you'd love me for the rest of your life, and only marry me. Does marrying Rosie mean your mother won't die?" "Enough!" Spencer spoke in a low voice. "The wedding is in a month. Rosie will move in during this time, so my mother doesn't suspect anything. The room on the second floor, the one facing south, is empty. She can stay there." Abrielle's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him, her eyelids red and swollen from crying.
