Semua Bab I Was Told That My Fiance Returned To The Past: Bab 1 - Bab 10

The sound of a slap echoed in the living room.I had not slapped Duncan Ferris; my mother had. “Duncan, how could you ruin both my daughters?!”The force of the slap had caused him to turn his head. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.He tried to speak, but my mother cut him off sharply.“Why didn’t you say anything when you got engaged to Lissy?”He fell silent.My father’s face turned ashen as he pointed at him and said, “If Lia weren’t our daughter, were you planning to keep a mistress on the side after you and Lissy got married?”Duncan seemed to choke on his words.My mother covered her face and wept.“We cannot let anyone else know this. Lia, you’re getting rid of the baby. As for you, Duncan, you’re still marrying Lissy.”Natalia Jacklin’s face went pale. She clutched Duncan’s arm tightly.I watched as Duncan comforted her by holding her hand.I remembered a month ago when I had a fever. He sat by my bedside and held my hand just like that.My chest tight

“Lissy, you’ve got a good eye. When we get there, you can help Lia pick out something nice.”The next day, after breakfast, my father went to the office. My mother, Natalia, and I went to shop for gowns.When we got downstairs, I saw Duncan standing there with his car parked behind him.[Haha! Even after Duncan got whipped over twenty times, he still shows up to protect Natalia. He really doesn’t trust Felicity at all, does he?]Duncan avoided my gaze.When he saw Natalia, he quickly walked up to her and gently helped her down the steps.Even though his voice was soft, I could still hear him say, “After I left yesterday, she didn’t give you any trouble, did she?”I sneered, opened the door to the back seat, and got in the car. As my mother and I sat in the back, Duncan helped Natalia into the passenger seat, then started the car engine. Due to his injuries, he had to sit upright and could not lean back against his car seat.The whole way there, he kept checking on Natalia.

For the next few days, I did not leave my room. Natalia used her pregnancy care as an excuse to directly move into Duncan’s apartment. She never returned home after that. One day, I got a message from Duncan.Duncan: We found the source of Lia’s allergy. Someone sprayed mango-scented perfume nearby. Sorry.I laughed exasperatedly when I saw his message.Duncan: I know a simple sorry isn’t enough. I’ll compensate you. Tell me what you want. I’ll get you anything you want.Duncan: I’m sorry.Duncan: I’m really sorry.My phone kept buzzing.Annoyed by the noise, I finally replied to him. Me: Get lost.I then blocked him immediately.Half an hour later, as if he had finally mustered up the courage, he called me using his other phone.That same afternoon, he knocked on my door again.No matter how much he apologized, I could not forget the humiliation of being dragged out in front of everyone.He stood outside my door for an entire night, but I could not even be bothered t

Her name was Anastasia Godfrey, a gentle and elegant woman in her forties.She always said, “Lissy, you have such steady hands. You’re the most talented student I’ve ever known.” She often took me to her home and taught me how to use gold wire to repair broken jewelry and delicate metalwork.She told me she had a son who was three years older than me. He was abroad managing the family business.“When he comes back, I’ll introduce you two.”On the last day of class before graduation, she gave me a pair of earrings.“My husband made these for me when we were still dating. I want you to have them.“I hope one day you’ll find someone willing to make jewelry for you with his own hands.”Later, the program was canceled because not enough students enrolled.After Anastasia went abroad, I sent her many emails, but she never replied.I thought she had forgotten about me. It turned out she had passed away.Tears welled up in my eyes.“Your mother... is Ms. Godfrey?”Oscar looked at

Just then, I caught Duncan looking right at me. It was quick—so quick that it felt like I imagined it. However, Natalia noticed. She tightened her grip on his arms as she smiled and tiptoed to whisper something in his ear.He looked away and nodded. Later, I found out that Natalia had asked why he kept looking at me. Duncan did not deny it. When it came time for the bouquet toss, everyone rushed to the stage.I did not move, but the bouquet flew straight into my arms.The whole room went silent.Natalia’s smile froze, and Duncan frowned.I stood up, holding the flowers, and said with a smile, “Perfect timing.”I looked toward where Oscar was sitting. He raised his glass slightly in my direction.“I would like to introduce you to my boyfriend, Oscar Funnell.”[Oh my gosh! She just made it official!][Just look at the way Oscar looked at her!][So is Oscar the male lead in this plot?!][Wait, why is Duncan’s expression souring? What right does he have to be mad?]
