He linked arms with Quinn and pulled her to the dressing room. While he was changing, she noticed the lovebites that even his thick foundation couldn’t quite cover.
Nicholas asked, “Why aren’t you getting changed yet, Quinn? The wedding is about to start.”
Quinn smiled at him and shook her head. She said softly, “I’m not in a hurry.”
Nicholas was distracted by her smile. Although she was smiling gently, he was somehow feeling uneasy deep down.
He only realized that Quinn was nowhere near ready once he was done getting ready.
Amidst Nicholas’ confusion, she reached a hand out to him. He took her hand, and she brought him out.
Under the watchful eyes of many guests, Quinn let go of his hand to play the video.
Nicholas shyly turned around, yet he froze when he saw images of him and Jasmine on the screen.
Panicked, he looked at Quinn and was about to say something. She interrupted him and said, “I’m here as a friend to attend your wedding with Jasmine today.”
Nicholas felt his knees go weak, almost collapsing to the ground. He finally understood why he had felt uneasy earlier.
Although Quinn had been smiling, her gaze was cold. She was looking at him as if looking at a stranger.
“What are you talking about, Quinn? Today is our wedding day!” Nicholas walked over to her and grabbed her arm, trying to make one last effort.
“No, today is your and Jasmine’s wedding day.” Quinn gestured for him to look at the invitation card and photos in the venue. Only then did he realize that Quinn’s name and photos had been switched to Jasmine’s.
Nicholas said, “That’s impossible! Something’s wrong… Quinn—”
However, his voice was covered by the recording played in the video. It was the conversation he had with Jasmine on the day of his engagement.
“You’re the only one for me even if I marry her, Jasmine,” came his voice.
Nicholas’ mind went blank that very moment. He realized that Quinn had known about everything from the start.
Glancing at Quinn, who was in front of him, he tightly gripped her arm. Only one thought remained in his head—he couldn’t let her leave.
She pushed his hand away. With a calm and gentle smile, she said, “We’re done, Nicholas. I wish you a happy marriage with Jasmine.”
