President's Substitute Wife

Cindy looked at me with a sad feeling when asking this question.

I froze, “why do I hate you?”

“Um.” Cindy was sorry, “I know about you and Sean. You were together before, then you broke up, and the family arranged that I marry him.”

“What does that have to do with you?”

I lowered my head and took a sip of coffee in front of me. I thought about it and asked her, “How did Sean tell you about me and him?”

“About you?”

“Yes.”

I nodded and looked straight at Cindy.

Cindy nodded slightly. “He said he was with you and your sister. That is what his grandpa meant.” Speaking of this, Cindy seemed to see that my expression was not good, and immediately explained, “But he said that you are not the same as your sister. You are very nice and kind, so he has been reluctant to hurt you...”

“He was reluctant to hurt me?”

I even thought it was funny to hear that!

It was clear that I tried to escape over and over again, but Sean found me again and again to make me stay with him.

And then he hurt me again and again.

“Miss Carter, please don't misunderstand Sean. Sean is very good. He really doesn’t want to hurt you, including your disfigurement. He also blame himself, so he hasn't been able to tell you about me and him.”

Cindy looked at me with a sincere look.

To make myself more disappointed, I asked Cindy, “Is Miss Lewis going to marry him?”

“Well...” Cindy took the bag from the side and handed me a pink and white card. “Actually, Sean knew I was coming to see you today, so he told me to give you this.”

I looked down. It was a wedding card.

There was a wedding photo of Sean and Cindy on it.

“Ah...” At that moment, my heart seemed to be gripped by a hand.

In order to prevent tears from falling, I bite my lips and pinched my palms with my nails.
