Chapter 491

Jennifer couldn’t hold back her feelings. She almost broke everything in sight, like smashing stuff would somehow make her feel better.

She had everything planned perfectly, even used her pregnancy as a reason when everyone saw Michael. This was supposed to be a beautiful wedding.

but Gordon ruined it all.

Donald saw she was about to lose it and quickly pulled her away. The guests looked at each other and started whispering. Backstage, Donald kept trying to calm Jennifer down, hoping she’d fix her dress and go out.

“No one’s going to care about what just happened. They’ll just think Gordon’s crazy,” he said. But Jennifer refused to go out. Even if she fixed her dress, people would just laugh at her.

Donald had no choice but to leave alone. As soon as he left, Jennifer swept everything off the table.

Evelyn came over to try and talk some sense into Jennifer. “What’s done is done. The most important thing now is to calm the guests and keep the wedding going.”

Teresa spoke, “You can still fix this if you go out now.”

Jennifer shot Teresa a glare. “You brought Mike here just to watch me fall apart, didn’t you? Now the wedding is a mess, and I look so pathetic. Are you happy now?”

Teresa’s temper flared. “You think your nephew ruined your wedding? I brought him for the food and made sure he stayed out of your way. Your husband asked me to sing for you, and I shouldn’t have said yes!”

“I never begged you to sing. Just get out.”

“Honestly, you don’t appreciate anything, do you? If it weren’t to save your face, I wouldn’t even bother showing up. Everyone’s already going out of their way for you. What more do you want?”

“Enough, both of you,” Evelyn said, stopping their fight.

Teresa left without another word. She wanted nothing to do with this mess. Outside, the guests were still waiting for the bride. The ceremony was only halfway done, the vows hadn’t even been said, and the bride was hiding backstage.

Cathy and Werner urged Donald to go get Jennifer. “What’s done is done,” they said. “The most important thing now is to fix it, not just hide.”

But Donald thought about Jennifer’s temper and that she had just told him she was pregnant. He didn’t want to make things harder for her.

So Donald said, “Sorry, everyone. The bride isn’t feeling well, so we have to end the wedding here today.”

Everyone was shocked. The Lynn family members, Jennifer and Donald’s friends, coworkers, and classmates–so many people were there, watching this disaster happen.

After Donald apologized, he stepped down from the stage, leaving Cathy and Werner to see everyone out.

Jennifer sat quietly in the room. She just couldn’t accept it–her wedding, the one she planned so carefully, was ruined forever.

Nothing was going right for her lately. She almost lost her job because of a medical problem, and even her wedding was a total mess.

With a loud crash, another glass broke on the floor–her way of letting out her anger. The sound made Sanford jump. He pressed his lips together and

walked over.

Jennifer shot. Sanford a cold look. “Did you come to see me fall apart too?”

Sanford let out a helpless sigh. The guests have all left. Don’t beat yourself up. No one’s going to keep talking about it.”

Jennifer let out a bitter laugh. “Everyone’s going to talk about me and laugh at me. I’m the joke now.”

Sanford said, “Why do you care so much about what other people think?”

“You don’t get it.” Jennifer shook her head, still holding her forehead. Sanford understood her all too well. They had been in college together–he knew how much of a perfectionist Jennifer was.

If anyone pointed out even a tiny mistake in her thesis, she’d obsessively fix it over and over, like she just couldn’t accept making mistakes. Or maybe, she just couldn’t accept being anything less than perfect.

Sanford wanted to comfort her, but seeing her still in that wedding dress, the hand he raised to pat her shoulder dropped back down. In the end, he just walked away.

By the time Jennifer snapped out of it, she saw a cup of lemon water sitting on the table.

Donald came back in. He froze for a moment when he saw the mess on the floor. He stepped around it and pulled her into his arms. “I’m sorry. This is all my fault.”

“It’s not your fault. I know,” Jennifer said, resting her head on Donald’s shoulder.

Donald let out a sigh. “Let’s just call it a day and go home, okay?”

“Call it a day?” Jennifer shot back, her voice cold. “Your family is nothing but trouble. Irene ruined my wedding. I’m not letting this go.”

Donald said, “My parents have already gone to the hospital. I promise, they’ll handle this.”
